Wouldnt think so but possibility young ni qbs are the hardest to get up here if they have nfl size imo. Im hoping its for flowers.

One thing is for sure, we dont waste time on fresh qb prospects. I would imagine this move was made for one of two reasons. 1) we have other better prospects available or who we are confident will be available for camp Perhaps quinton flowers or 2) Maybe he was pricy and we are gonna go with a cheaper depth qb. Bryan bennett still with the riders? A fascinating story about earl wolff. https://www.si.com/mmqb/2016/08/09/nfl-jacksonville-jaguars-earl-wolff-tale-of-survival-armed-robbery-kidnapping http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/earl-wolff?id=2539966 Monster testing numbers. 4.4 40 11'2 broad jump 39" vert 4.07 shuttle two way player in HS who ran for over 1k yards. He sounds like a guy who kind of aged out of the nfl. Looks like some great tackling. Could have the flexibility to play S, sam or db up here. Very interesting pick up, gonna be a heck of a camp to watch this year.

imo mo was hands down a better saftey as well. Very different players though. Football is football, you cant hide injury prone guys any place. (but kicker) Loffler already plays in the box or on the edge of the box like in a 4-6. I dont think we see the swap happen. I dont think they even look at it. In that case mo coming back from a serious injury with a real question mark also has to adjust back to S, loffler has to adjust to wil and JSK has to adjust to MLB. its a continuity nightmare and if one guy cant make the adjustment every thing falls apart.

wasnt mo the same as S before he moved to sam? he may have been more under rated but no doubt he was as valuable at S if not more. Sam is a harder position to fill though, and S harder then wil.

Its kind of the larger end of the current generation of MLBers. Its possible to have the mobility to make it work much heavier. In the nfl he was listed alot in the 235 range as well. The strength and explosiveness in his testing is very impressive. Atm i think jsk is a lock to start at either mlb or wlb. I feel like wild needs to stay healthy and re find his former groove. 6'5 280? o; did you look at the right guy? It sounded like he came in as a RB to rutgers. also his personal web site is inspiring as heck. It drives me mad to see guys in the front 7 get into the back field, get a hand on the qb then get spun around or shrugged off by the qb. Riley is a big qb for the cfl. But mostly a Lber or DE is gonna have a giant advantage in strength and size. So I love seeing a guy who flies around and lays the wood to any one in their path. Guys like loffler, play with that edge that elevates the entire defense. Run around like some mad dogs and have some fun.

we have like 7 lbers and I feel like we carry that or more each game on the active roster might be more to come after mini camp or maybe we will draft some new blood as well. Im not holding my breath on loffler at wil though that could be amazing. All that matters is no hurl.

Upside and high character, thats the bombers to profile to a T. 26 TFL and 122 solo tackles / 190 combined over 3 years. Exciting quality prospect at our biggest position of need. Hope he brings it in camp.

Yeah with bc now, was with hamilton last year broke out with the riders after starting with us.

ricky collins. year before last iirc.

In the last 10 years it seems like half the league has gotten new stadiums. Hopefully in less then 10 more year every one will be playing in high quality digs.

By hard, "cant miss" standards id say mike sims walker. He missed, but by injury retirement. The level of skill he had as a wr coming into the league was off the charts. From what little he showed id still take a flyer on that guy if he was healthy. He was that good. Other wise Id probably say chris givens. But wr is a hard position to be cant miss at. And football is a hard sport to be cant miss at. Some positions, like Lber (mlb/will) and Rb are easier to perform at but even then nothing is a guarantee. The volume of high potential guys we have in camp at every position soo heavily dwarf the likes of the taman era and the modern era as a whole. That is why we dont so much see one guy who cant miss. the competition is better and higher. Virtually any player on the team could be beat out of their position.

That makes sense. the punches always seemed kinda poor quality to me, that or like they legit snuck a punch in. but then its gotta be really hard to fake a punch like that.

think thats very rare these days, its when a guy comes back from the nfl or finally comes up from the nfl like brown or westerman. Ultra high potential guys with great skills/athletic ability/ high end experience/success sure. But general level of talent that comes up now compared to what used to is what makes the cant miss guys very rare. I think cant miss guys who havent played meaningful snaps of pro football are the rarest commodity. We see less of that and less of the TCF guys and more an across the board high level of talent. The closest thing we could see to a cant miss guy is geoff gray.

For the first time in a gazillion years i watched a bit of wrasslin. Watch the highlights then most of the RR match. Is it messed up that RRs punches looked dramatically better then HHHs? maybe im crazy or just not knowledgeable when it comes to wrestling, but she seemed to toss em pretty good in general. HHH seemingly annoyed and mildly ego bruised by her onslaught was pretty good too. It seemed like her flurry against wifey was getting a bit meh, then that body shot lol. again maybe she did some trickery but that last body shot seemed pretty solid.

Watch MTl be hot garbage again and cut him before the vet contract day. THEN WE CAN GO THROUGH IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!! I seriously hope to never hear about the bombers being a landing spot for henoc. i bet he is MTL bound one day when reed is finally axed.

not a social media type. but what i look for is the music choice in their highlights. If its over used, a good selection etc vital information into their psyche. gangster rap? ok. beyonce? not ok. What i really want to see is some vicious hard hitting Lber/db whose highlights are set to the proclaimers, smash mouth, or chumbawamba. thats the stuff of the HOF.

Nailed it. our lack of a wr with a great last name and nick name has been the true down fall of the team.

also the same number of QBs montreal has had in camp the last two years, and the same number the riders carry on the IR every week. Makes it easier to be a good receiver for sure, more standing reach then pure height but yeah. Doesnt matter how big you are, how fast you are, how strong or how well you run routes if you cant catch the ball.

i dont think these guys are TCF, tcf imps is kind of a thing of the past imo. These guys have some legit up side. Huge athletic, some very productive in college. More of a flyer low risk high reward move with some of em that didnt play a lot in college.

by else where do you mean the 3 years in regina, 2 years as a HC in edm and the half a year in toronto? so all he did was set the record for most GC appearances, tie the record with most GC wins, win 3 GCs in a row with 2 different teams, won GCs with 4 different teams (has any one done that?) and didnt win one with 2. But then he also won a GC as the DC of edm. He also only missed the play offs in the last half a year with toronto. His longest GC drought was 8 years, winning the year before and after that. You can add asterisks and provisos all you want but in sports you cant argue with championships. The don may have won 2 of his 5 gcs with flutie, but flutie won 2 of his 3 with don mathews. Is dominance impossible today? the stamps say no.

Bombers add 2 imp wrs. Jerome lane. Interesting story and body type. Real big strong guy. Started out as a S/lb, itd be pretty awesome if he was a good kick cover guy as well as wr. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/jerome-lane?id=2558120 Dominique reed is also interesting but the opposite. Another tall guy listed 6'3 but listed a shade under 180. Did some kick returning too. Blew up his pro day 4.39 40" vert 10'4 broad jump 4.50 shuttle and 6.82 3 cone. 6 reps on the bench press. but if hes 180 that isnt bad. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000793456/article/pro-day-results-arkansas-georgia-wisconsin-virginia-tech

My expectations for star wars movies is low right now. but ill still see it for sure. Im off trailers now. They just show way too much. I used to watch the first half of trailers but even that doesnt work.

To play devils advocate a bit, Some times the management or coaching (more coaching) is enough to turn a franchise around but isnt the right ones to take it all the way. (marty shottenheimer and a couple other nfl coaches have been the turn around guy but not the all the way guy). Also, imo soft player friendly coaching has a shorter half life then a hard ass coach. But im not sure how much of a hard ass you can even be as a coach any more. The cfl should bring in Simon sinek to talk to all the management and coaching. or a team should. You cant really put the boots to player any more and his modern leadership style would probably be gigantic for modern football coaching. That said 1) its too soon to say that this year. 2) we cant just upgrade them. if we fired either we would be hoping some one who failed at HCing last attempt or a CO could step up to a high level.They are well above replacement level coaching and Gming in the cfl. 3) right now what we need is a consistent good team. We want a championship but we need to be a contender for several years. 4) both are still improving. if we fired either Im sure they would be haunting us on other teams for 20 years to follow.

Well going from paying 4 peanuts to 8 is still paying peanuts. So thats part of it. But yeah they are struggling to keep the doors open with the previous cba this seems like the death knell of the AFL. Short of some thing extreme happening. The amount the afl paid when the AFL was strong and cflers went back n forth wasnt great. And for sub stars it was really bloody low. I have to think its only gotten worse. If the afl goes belly up I imagine some one some where will re start the concept. iirc bonjovi in philly has been a cornerstone of the AFL since it began. So maybe he does. Yeah, a few guys going back n forth like robert gordon. But he especially kinda showed you just cant play that much football in one year and survive. In general i didnt have much hate of the AFL, they had some crappy management for a while but they didn't pose a real threat and fledgling leagues generally up cycle talent that would other wise wash out.

Bang on, known guys and or guys with big time potential. IIRC jon jones debuted on the ufc 100 under card. Taking any thing from pride (nearly) would be an instant injection of excitement and interest. Idk maybe its even good for mma to have a weaker ufc, stronger bellator One etc and drive up the value of mma not just the ufc. But it feels like crap right now being an mma fan.
