Middle Linebacker Phil Minnick. Signed as a rookie out of Iowa State in 1965. He was a CFL Western Conference All Star in 1966 & 1968 as well as an All Canadian in 1967 & 69. When he was healthy, Minnick was one of the most dominant middle linebackers in the CFL. For 4 seasons from 1966 thru 1969 he played at an extremely high level. A severe knee injury in 1970 caused him to miss a good part of that season & all of 1971. Minnick returned to the Bombers in 1972 but moved to outside linebacker as Mickey Doyle had taken over Minnick's MLB spot. He retired after the 1972 season.

Winnipeg Blue Bomber huddle. The 1962 Grey Cup. Better known as "The Fog Bowl".

Corey Chamblin? He's not in the CFL anymore. He resigned as Argos DC.

No one runs a 2 back system in the CFL. To do that means a receiver comes off the field. The way offenses are set up with the passing game today that would be a detriment & not an advantage. Would I like to see a 2 back set, yes. But that's like wishing the true tight end would come back but it isn't.

I'm showing my age here but I remember the Bombers starting 1-4 in 1976 & finished 10-6. They went on quite a run as I recall. The fans wanted Dieter Brock's head & for HC Bud Riley to be fired. They finished second in the West & hosted the West Semi Final.

Think you'll ever see it?

Season not over yet. See, that's the Riders problem. You guys win the Grey Cup in every month except November.

There were fullbacks bigger than guards at the time.

Look at how Reilly struggles without Walker. Mitchell struggles without 4 of his receivers.

Damn, why do you quote him.

Won't happen.

I just wish if we put person on ignore & he's quoted that we still can't see it. That would make things better here.

So, if Reilly & Michell ever came to market as FA's, we all can see MOS saying he's happy with Nicholls & wouldn't be interested in pursuing either.

His Mom & Dad live in Montana. I believe in Kalispell. They drive the 800 klm to every Esks home game. If he went to the Lions his parents would have further to go. Be interesting how this plays out. Scary to think what Reilly could do with Burnham & Arceneaux as his receivers.

Former Seattle Seahawks qb Jim Zorn. He played one season for the Blue Bombers in 1986.

No way he is. Wally's desperate.

More like a Don Moorehead 2.0. Great athlete but crappy passer.

That was such a bullshit non call. The Riders always get every break & I don't think they're lucky. I think it's garbage officiating & the CFL wanting to prop up the team.

The guy is talented but is so arrogant. I can't wait to see him get that chip knocked off his shoulder.

A college stand out at Wisconsin, Greg Kabat played 8 seasons for the Blue Bombers between 1933 & 1940. He played in 3 Grey Cup games in 1935, 37 & 39 winning twice in 1935 & 39. He was a Western Inter-Provincial Football Union All Star as a Flying Wing in 1938, at Guard in 1939 & at Quarterback in 1940. Kabat was elected to the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame in 1966.

They've taken away the deep ball to Duke Williams without Derell Walker. If he gets back in time for the playoffs it should start working again.

Not a chance. If you call signing 4 players in 6 seasons doing something.

Yep, typical Rider troll. Thinks people care about his team so he comes here where we don't.
