  1. agree 100%. serendipity.
  2. Im not sold on his intangibles. Mental toughness, leadership on the field, ability to manage a pro offense, idk. The physical tools and talents are un deniable. The most talented guy in the league. But also the most flawed. Im not 100% sold on masoli, but Id take him over a fist full of starters league wide. Right now the tigernuaghts are in a great spot qb wise. They dont have to force manziel along. I expect masoli, vernon adams, and manziel start out the season in that order. I wonder if the tiggers have the cash to keep all three for the whole season though. Vernon adams would be very desirable for a lot of teams as a back up. Including us.
  3. I could see pressley becoming our new return man / di and working his way into the offense. Big play guy, can return, can catch the ball, and is a good size back.
  4. Call this serendipity. If dbag durant hadnt pulled his junk we wouldnt have bighill now. If loffler playing a deep mid field, bighill in the middle rushing the pass, stuffing the run and covering that short - intermediate zone and JSK at WIL, combined with our killer DTs we are as good as any team in the league up the middle. All is well that ends well. And this is a power shifting move for us. We have a db spot or two to iron out, but plenty of vet and talented new comers to fill those spots.
  5. the goltziest of all time.
  6. bingo. pre 3(?) knee surgeries he would have been a real game changer. He showed some real flashes of brilliance too. Also that marvelous mix of him is one of the funniest moments of the era.
  7. he was in that fall league and we recently picked one of his team mates up too. Guy had all the arm talent to be a pro qb. Im guessing he didnt fit their mold as much as desired (smart, tough, humble) or had a real mental flaw.
  8. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/05/17/rookie-camp-day-2/ its nice to have it earlier then the next days freep, but i do miss broader bomber coverage in the media.

    csac says if he passes his physical they will give him a license. wonder if he will still be cornered by that guy hackman? from the pit.
  10. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/05/16/rookie-camp-day-1/ is all ive seen.
  11. Was one of the best returners in college, tore his achilles just under one year ago, and sat out all year. guess he wasnt able to rehab it as of yet.
  12. jhurell pressley reminds me a lot of keith stokes. Excellent speed and speed tool set. A guy who will bounce around and run backwards a mile to try and gain an inch. Doesnt look like he has the power to truck over guys, but does run hard and isnt brought down easily or by arm tackles. Gets up to speed quick too. He might be the biggest threat to take some ones job as a DI returning kicks. And would give us even better depth at RB. The fact he catches the ball out of the back field well is a bonus too. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jhurell-pressley?id=2556233 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKEPa2P1ojk
  13. 4 qbs in camp is plenty of arms. Its in their hands/arms. If they do well in camp and pre season we dont need to dig up any old guys.
  14. part of my pre season ritual every year is watching that play before the first game and before the first time we play the argos. Kerwin gets in, does a shimmy dance spikes the ball, bounces up and hits him right in the lil bell he gets decked by a bomber and still gets the penalty for taunting. 😝
  15. ohhhh snapple. inb4 durant steals this line. He really does personify the bombers post khari era pre mos era. Who is it for the dark ages pre ritchie? kerwin bell or reggie slack?
  16. takes a special kind a player to go 0 fer with every single team in the league.
  17. Twitter has never been my thing. this makes me think it never will be. its like my brain is trying its best to reject the message from twitter. flash backs to html.
  18. we call that pulling a milt. never forget on the previous play edm did the exact same thing, milt was open and kg missed him. how on earth you see that once and call the same defense on the next play I will never know. A blink is when the other team plays cover 0, goes full run blitz and you still some how run up the gut and go un touched for a touch down. Off sides? thats a willis. soo much yes.
  19. to be fair every pick 6 is very kevin glenn like.
  20. A few years ago, maybe. Its hard for a MLBer to deserve to be the highest paid defensive player in the league. Now should the bombers be willing to over pay, and or risk a cap wrist slap? I would say yes. Our vet talent is peaking. We cant expect 2+ years more at this level for a bunch of guys. We no longer have a proven vet back up qb, we have the cap room and we have missed out on 3 major impact mlbers. Bear woods twice in the past year and a bit. Randle is 29 dressler is 32 harris is 31 mo is 31 bryant is 32 nichols is 31. Dressler has had his injury problems, mo is coming off one of the biggest injuries in football (short to medium term/career term) Nichols got banged up a bit last year with a better ol in front of him then right now. It is reasonable to expect that in 2 years half those guys will be gone. + the possibility that some one like poop could be gone in that time range to the nfl as well. (idr the length of his contract*) Now is the time to risk it and make the moves to win today. Im not saying empty the cupboards and go all in, but we need to be a buyer. Not a seller or inactive.
  21. When the confidential inside sources talk about they them they and what they are told happened I give up. An article by a guy, who interviews a guy who talked to a guy who may have been involved. too flimsy. On one hand with a dumpster fire like mtl if a coach or player is ok with it thats a bad sign. hard nosed coaching has won a TON more games then players best friend. But if you are too much of a dumpster fire for montreal... Im just glad we are no longer in that position.
  22. Yeah mildly better version of twilight in space. I feel like disneys overly ambitious schedule is going down the DCCU rabbit hole. Very loosely fit together story threads for the purpose of making movies and money. I dont feel like they are concerned or interesting in creating a good continual story with in the SW universe. They are just milking it. If these movies had all the star wars names changed but other wise remained exactly the same this franchise would be long long dead. again. Dave filoni and some of the novels have brought great new stories into star wars. universe. Out side of that, and video games, the last best addition to the series was return of the jedi. Nostalgia only lasts soo long, they have got to turn out better stories and quality and fast.
  23. I am by no means a cap expert. I would think it freed up a good chunk of cash for us though. I would not be surprised to see a couple other vets pushed hard by rookies though. Itll depend a bit on teams play. If they use petermann and or simonise on the return team or on teams in general they are both locked in. Those two plus wolitarski and demski are not cemented, but they will be bloody hard to beat out. I imagine that is who will be ahead on the depth chart to start camp but you never know. Should be a great battle. + we have some very promising young imp wrs that could push us to adapt the ratio else where.

    UFC

    Loma is the only one in pro boxing i pay to watch. I seldom pay to watch ufc even. Ive been a big fan of machida for a long time. I wish we could have got machida vs belfort closer to their prime. I still dream in vain of machida vs silva. Machida vs bisping. Id watch it. I wonder if either of these guys go to rizin or bellator and trt it up. (or back up for vitor) Old dragon vs the ice man is probably in the future though. Dern looks better and better. Glad to hear she is gonna slow down camps a bit. Gotta make weight, but she is gonna be a great fighter in two years.
  25. some how every one is missing the reverse order thing. the worst teams in the league dont get first choice over better teams according to that. Which would be great for us. though Im sure every team in the league is gonna bid a first round pick. Doubt we get him but it would be pretty great if we do.
