  1. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/03/05/renewed-motivation-ekakitie-ready-year-two/ Another classic ed tait article. And another classy guy you cant help but pull for in the good guys colors.
  2. cough cough milt. Yeah the sins of the off season are quickly forgotten once you score a td in the next season. He is an uber talented athlete. If he ever starts running with any portion of andrew harris' heart and determination he will be un stoppable.

    Cybro rushed and crushed kunitskaya, but that russian girl showed some fantastic stuff, and real toughness. Gonna be fun to watch her more.. Few women will even want to take her, kunits took her on short notice. Ortega with the shocker, man he looks soo much better every time out. Him vs holloway is gonna be epic. Omalley, what a warrior wow. That lao guy should have swept the leg though. Always liked arlovski, he isnt as exciting any more but Its great to see him doing well.

    I wasnt scoring tbh, ive been a fan for a long time i was excited for derns ufc debut. On damage for sure, she had volume too but i felt a lot of her blows were less significant then her effort put behind them. Haha when i heard byrd first i was like oh boy /facepalm. It matching my gut kind of makes me thing i need to re watch and score it. Must be wrong. That viera throw was crazy impressive. Bonus worthy in and of it self. I love great judo tosses though. If dern had take down/throws like that she'd be RR 2.0 right now. I kind of agree with the crazy russian too. Cyborg has crazy power, but not that one shot KTFO power.

    Little bit surprised dern got the win. Shes really game, maybe too much. Shes tough and aggressive though. A lot more hope for her then some of the recent hype jobs. Every thing but brocks athletic ability is his weakness.
  6. Couldnt agree more. Every time I see a post with people complaining about RF, or a topic all I can imagine is putting your hand on a hot element repeatedly and getting angry that it keeps burning you. Ac, trestman, and ricky ray. James franklin is in an incredible situation. Its also great to have steinauer back coaching in the league.
  7. Mm thats not what i recall, after the previous year, in which he lost the starting position he came for Im sure he got a bit smaller deal. But its tough to say with cfl deals. Murky to say the least. He is. He mostly played teams early on, but especially the last year here he played like a man on fire. You cant play side line to side line in the cfl, but he was as close as it gets. Fiery guys like that bring a lot to a team, especially the front 7 of a defense.
  8. Iirc hurls deal was 80k wasnt it? 2.5x (ish) more money for 10x more player. The last two years we have given up soo many back breaking runs. 2nd and long, teams backed into corners where they cant pass (bc) and we've just gotten rolled over by the run. Henoc changes and compensates for a whole lot of that. Instead of trying to hide our MLBer, we can have one that covers up issues, fills gaps, and makes the hard 1 on 1 tackles. Should we all pass around a hat and see if we can come up with the money from bomber fans in the city? LOL
  9. Also our special teams, and leadership. I mean a different type of leader. A guy to get the D jacked up. Randle and mo are guys who lead, but in a different way.
  10. Dont agree on muamba. The guy is a tackling, scraping to the ball machine who is great at ripping lose the ball. I would also expect his best football is infront of him.

    If his usada case goes any thing like the CSAC jon jones will be lucky to end up any place but GITMO. Imo he is the biggest athlete train wreck in my life time. Yeah seems like brock is just going to be waiting on his suspension. Imo brock has lost some quickness, and his mechanics have not gotten significantly better. Imo until cain proves other wise He is done. Ngannou would be really interesting to watch fight brock. I could see a bit of juice for a brock vs DC fight, but not a lot. Derrick lewis is a sleeper to take a brock fight imo.
  12. Fenner was really impressive, but bowman really impressed me too.

    Just when you think jon jones cant be any more of a mess. Coming soon to an internet streaming site near you, watch as jon jones takes on some one who drives a delivery truck for a living, LIVE from international waters off the coast of japan for the rizin whaterverweight championship of the ocean.... Undisputed 7, jon jones vs wesley snipes.
  14. When it ends in an ESPN special to announce your decision... or when you choose montreal.
  15. Knuckles is every bit as humble as he is a legend. Which is part of what makes him soo great. Do you have a link by chance?
  16. Maybe im crazy but I feel like TO gets 1 out of every 3. All the guy does is perform. 85% + last year, with a long of 57. And is a very serviceable punter as well. Yet he continues to struggle to find a job. Hands down better then guys like maher. bede, etc.
  17. I cant believe ott wouldnt be interested. Id bet its a 3 way race. He may be saying two to try and leverage one to step up.
  18. Plus its still run by captain dumpster fire, has no qb etc etc. Every team in the cfl has a chance to be good next year. cept montreal.
  19. Inb4 toronto signs him too. If he has to consider going back to mtl vs here then he has the wrong mentality.
  20. /pray
  21. Football is also a higher turn over sport. Guys from college are more ready to play and have a big impact right away compared to most sports.
  22. In that case briggs, gauthier, renaud and miles would be the NI depth at wil. Miles has seen decent action previously, briggs didnt look out of place at all subbing in a few times last year etc. Doesnt look like we will see 4 new dbs, 2 for sure. If mo slides back to hb or s that isnt new. Roh would go into camp imo as the rotational guy. Wr will see a bunch of turn over no doubt. But the shake up is needed. I dont feel that is a position we can really project too much right now. Adams and dressler have had injury concerns, so does demski. Bowman is coming off a very poor year, no one knows what will happen to denny etc. While we also have very high up side young guys like givens, and washington + wolitarsky. Newf has been here for a while, and jsk made a lot of plays last year. If newf ends up starting (pls god no) or if jsk moves from wil to mac it isnt that big a difference. I think the biggest change we will see on D is usage and gambling. I think we will see more of the same guys, and more pressure risks then ball jumps. I think we have rebuilt our wr core, and re tooled our defense. And its still feb. Lots to do yet. This is the actions of a management/staff that is not satisfied with being a consistent play off team. In the previous returns to glory for our franchise we seemed to spend the following years just trying to hold it together, or re find that magic. Wade, mos, walters etc all are playing to win. And I love it.
  23. Id like to see an off season series or mini series. Stuff like we used to get from sports net. Qb challenge, player interviews (i still remember the sultan of sack talking about hoping to get the sack record) That behind the scenes show they did with the argos a few years ago, and some thing similar with players training, rehabbing etc in the off season. The argo thing would be cool if they did 1 per team and check in every soo often through out the year. Then in the weeks leading up to the draft have a new episode. One per team, 9 weeks to stoke the fire leading into the draft. Some thing similar with a few select players in the weeks leading up to camp. Im not big on allstar games in pro football, but skills competitions would be fun. Ideally id like to see it set up so the league and the sponsor/tsn puts up a cash prize and the top 3 guys divvy it up. A bigger presence for the draft, and maybe FA day on tsn would be big too.
  24. He might be putting him self into JJs coaching lineage to try and get a big move up.
  25. That tier yes, but one more. Maybe a bit below that teir even. Itd be a loss of quickness, and that'd be better covered up at S. At S (as mo played it) you have a good bubble to read and slide accordingly. I dont think we will see loffler move up to lber. id like to see mo at s and loffler at wil but i dont think we will. With roh, jeffcoat, and ogopogo I dont think corney is going to see much rotational use either.
