2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I don't agree. Not every wide receiver runs a 4.5/40. You need good size at TE to be able to block & then slip out to catch the ball. As a guy who coached HS I saw kids who had lots of potential to play TE. Good size, speed & hands but there was no point as a big kid would be moved to defense if he played junior ball or U Sports because the CFL doesn't use TE's. So, we never used TE's either. The CFL just throws a Canadian fullback out there to block but never catch. If they bring back the TE in the CFL, you'll see the change go down the ladder to HS & community football & we can start developing some promising Canadian players. Nothing will happen until the CFL makes a change first. That is great news about Alexander!! We need our receiving corps back. I really loved that group as they were the best in the CFL. -

Usually a signing bonus tells fans how interested NFL teams are. Anyone know? -

With George.... errr... Pete Costanza leaving hiring Nik Lewis might be a good move. He was a heckuva receiver in his playing days. One man wrecking crew. Very physical player. I know he wants to coach. -
I commented here last season more than once that it looked like Reilly wasn't having any fun. Never seemed excited or happy on the bench. No smiling. Didn't talk to anyone & just had his head buried in his device on the sidelines. I think that line he played behind was so bad every season he played in BC that he finally checked out in his mind last season. I could tell it was probably over for him.

Great articles. I sure hope this is the last off season of strictly one year deals. It's crazy. -

Yeah. Like what the hell is so special about him? A backup Canadian fullback. I can check his stats but I don't expect to find much offensively that would peak NFL interest yet here we are. Probably on specials. -

My feeling is we may have to get boosted every 5-6 months until the pandemic is over. Then a shot that combines protection for the flu & covid once a year. Hopefully we're on the other side of things but who knows?? -
Thye AFC has the more interesting option. They have the 2 Young Guns throwing The New Way. The NFC has the 2 Old Guys throwing The New Way as well . They have nostalgia on their side. Some fans want Brady to win an 8th Super Bowl. Others want Stafford to win a SB because of all the crap Lions teams he played on where no matter what he did they had little or no chance to win.

How can a team like Green Bay keep having these phenomenal regular seasons yet continue to choke in the playoffs? Just have this feeling that Aaron Rodgers & the Packers will go their separate ways now. Lots of unhappy fans in GB who'll blame Rodgers. One Super Bowl ring for him. That's just incredible.

They're a contender at least. Imagine trying to get players to come to Ottawa with LaPo's putrid offense & no viable qb. Or the crap show in Edmonton. -

Yeah, he let them down. Luckily no injuries on the line during the GC. Happy that Jeff Gray is coming back. That signing has kinda gone under the radar here. I think it's huge for us. I anticipate that he start if Desjarlais signs with ah NFL team. -

Lost his chance to play in the Grey Cup as well as having his name engraved on the trophy. Huge price to pay. -
Just want to add that Discovery turned the Klingons more into disfigured monsters than warriors. Disregarded all the storylines from previous Star Trek series, like TNG & especially DS9 went through introducing us to the history & culture of the Klingons through Worf, Kang, Martok, The Duras Family & Gowron. Threw away half a century of Canon. I don't think it's a coincidence that we never see Klingons anymore even in the future because of the blowback from fans unhappy with the changes.... even the way they talk... on Discovery.

Part of the FI in today's CFL is being vaxxed. If he isn't then he doesn't FI. It's his decision & his career. He won't be able to travel by air with federal regulations. No one will sign him to just play home games as teams hands are tied. Same with Massoli. I hope he does get vaxxed & he comes back. We need him. -

Chungh left for more money & to play at home. Other than the money he was exposed at just how bad a pass blocker he was with inferior line mates surrounding him in BC. He got thrown around like a turnstyle. LaPo's offense was always run first with AH33 so he could shine blocking for the run. Goes to Bc with Mike Reilly there in a pass happy offense & he is terrible. (Yet they still pay him big bucks. Why??) The question is, does Couture want more money elsewhere or play with his mates & perhaps win a third ring? Grey Cups don't grow on trees & he won't find the same culture on any other team. -
Pay him half that. He went from the Go To deep ball receiver at SFU to just a possession receiver running short & intermediate routes for the Stamps & Lions. Injury prone. No way he was ever worth that kind of money. They also believe we're ignoring the salary cap with our signings. On Facebook CFL Fans Only.

Calgary did that with Bo, Bombers did it with Neufeld. All teams do it. That's how teams circumvent the salary cap with injuries. It's always been that way. I can remember teams using the "taxi squad" back in the 70's for that. -

Always the guy who protects the qb blind side.
