BC sucks! BC sucks! BC sucks! BC sucks! BC sucks!

Agree with that. He was a safety.

Even though for all intents & purposes, the fullback hasn't been an integral part of a CFL offense for at least 10 years. Maybe more. Today, the fullback is primarily a Canadian blocker. He may carry the ball a couple of times a season or catch the odd swing pass out of the backfield. The position has almost become irrelevant. Except in short yardage or goal line. I think fullbacks should be together in the same pot as the tailbacks. If Charlie Sheppard, Charlie Perkins, Bob Houmard, John Bledsoe, Mark Bragagnolo, Sean Kehoe & Mike Sellars are worthy then one will get voted on to the all time team. Again, just a suggestion. FWIW.

Agree. As good as Harris is, there were better running backs.

Because of the number of historically great backs, I'd be happy if you had two running back positions & one less slot. I'll nominate Leo Lewis, Dave Raimey & Willard Reaves.

One of my all time favourite players.

It's a typical promo piece. Hey, I understand. They don't want to give anything away so I'm okay with it.

Total teaser, No useful info at all. LOL.

Just a couple of those guys were lbers.

Greg Battle & James West say hi!

Gene Lakusiak was a very good defensive back. He played with the Bombers from 1968-74. He had 7 interceptions during his career & was a CFL Western Conference All Star in 1972 & 73. I'd like to nominate him.

My advice would be to add Rowland as a defensive back. We've had some great linebackers & there'll be plenty of nominations at that position.

Thirty four picks should be a DB. Linebackers don't put up those numbers.

Yeah, these guys have full time jobs & coach. Blasetti quit his job to coach with the Lions. Then suddenly found himself without a job a year later. I also know a former OC in the CFL who now lives in the US. He coached a number of years on 3 different CFL teams but was fired. He's in his late 50's & would be a great addition to a lot of CFL staffs. He told me that he's no longer interested in the CFL as he says it's too volatile. Working as a college coach in the NCAA.

With 34 picks how can he be ignored?

Does anybody care?

There is a junior football coach here in Calgary who is the OC of the Calgary Colts. Adam Blassetti has a wealth of experience coaching at the highest levels in Canada. He coached at SFU when my son was there doing the OL. Tyler said he did a great job but was let go when HC Jacques Chapdelaine suddenly quit the team after just one season. Before he went to SFU, he also was a guest OL coach with the Als during training camp for 2 successive years. He also coached 1 year with the Lions full time as Running Backs Coach. He was so happy Wally hired him as a member of his Lions staff & thought he'd be there for awhile. Then just a year later during training camp, Wally suddenly fired him with no warning & he was replaced with no real explanation as to why. Now, Adam's back with the Colts where he started a number of years ago. He never had a chance to develop as a CFL assistant coach plus he was coaching out of his natural position. So it really is a baptism by fire to be a Canadian coach in the CFL. There is absolutely no job security like there may be in U Sports. How many qualified Canadian coaches are willing to coach in the CFL for low pay, long hours, no benefits & no job security?

There are a few good Canadian coaches that should be in the CFL. I think it's difficult to find qualified guys as they are probably coaching in U Sports where things may be a bit more secure. Usually Canadian coaches start in the CFL as Running Back Coach & move up from there. Some of them only last a couple of seasons & are released for whatever reason. With the new salary cap expect to see even less.

Trump is totally unhinged. The door will fall off sooner rather than later.

Stubler & Claybrooks are Americans.

I hit something to make it italics. Other than that, I stand by what I said. I think Claybrooks will find being a HC is a lot different than a DC. He only has coached for a short period of time with just one team. And his defense was surrounded by great talent. I'm not saying he isn't a good coach but I'm saying he may not be ready to be a HC.

I'll buy that assumption. Nichols wasn't himself the entire year. I think his knee bothered him more than we think all season long.

Sampson is a great choice.

I think Claybrooks won't be as smart next season as HC. Not because he suddenly got stupid but because a football IQ has more to do with the talent he has around him as a coach. Definitely a dip in the talent pool from Calgary to BC.

Will safety be a separate position or part of the DB's.
