Reppin' the NFC North .. #BearDown I like the moves personally .. likely not have much of an impact this season but gets them acclimatized to the Canadian game.

I'd rather have Garrett on the roster myself.

Outside of Pierce, he's be the most experienced QB on our roster right now. Doesn't make him better. I start to wonder if a guy can't thrive in Wally's QB factory exactly how much potential does he REALLY have ..

One year tryout? Sure, he'll get that & a two year $600,000 paid vacation after that. This organization's been there. Done that. Not saying sign him for 3 years, saying give him a 1 year tryout contract unless we can find a STAR candidate for GM this offseason (Basically unless we get a Higgins/Hufnagel/Buono/Popp level of GM I would rather us keep Walters for a year and see how well he does) The only way you get anyone worth their salt to take the GM job in Winnipeg is A) you throw a tonne of cash at them AND B ) give them term. Nobody in their right mind is going to uproot their lives and come here given the mess this team is in unless you make it worth their while. Serious candidates will simply laugh at a "prove it" deal. Emphasis added to ensure clarity since it apparently wasn't obvious that I wasn't saying to try and sign a star candidate to a 1 year contract Doesn't just have to be a star candidate .. if you are offering ANYONE a deal to come to Winnipeg .. you're going to have to give them cash and term. Plain and simple.

Do you have any inkling who they are trying to trade for?

Such a damn shame to see him in green. Best of luck to Garrett.

Too true sir. I actually think Ricky Ray is underrated. It's amazing what a future hall of famer can do for a team and coach ..

Stefan Charles got released by the Titans earlier today .. misjudged who would have a chance to roster down south .. shame.

Bilukidi isn't going anywhere .. Raiders too thin along the Dline.

Packers waived OLB Dezman Moses. Moses recorded four sacks as an undrafted rookie in 2012, and is likely to generate interest on waivers. Final rosters are far from set, but the Packers appear to be rolling with Andy Mulumba and Nate Palmer over Moses.

Kinda funny how Morley is healthy for 4 years straight then suddenly gets injured when he's not even playing. As for the LB's, I'm sure Wild will play. But at training camp, I thought Sheffield looked like our best new LB prospect, I think he may still factor in at some point. Swiston got yanked in favour of Morley last week. Apparently he had two brutal whiffs on pass blocks and was taken out of the game. Apparently? It was brutal and like I said during the game chat .. I never thought I'd be saying this .. "But I'm glad Morley is in there right now".

Geebus. This team can't catch a break.

@PentonKirk: Justin Goltz running the offence. #Bombers #CFL

It's not like the imports we've had on offense have been adding much to the attack as is ..

Based on Cauchy's play .. I'd be all for this .. Glad to see Douglas is back .. going to be a bit before he is in game shape but he can only be an upgrade over Boatman at this point.

Bob Irving ‏@BobIrvingCJOB 4m Mcknight Showing off big leg at bomber practice, launching 55-yard field goals.

It's a positive thing that we are looking to improve and address areas where we've seen far too many lackluster performances. Will it pay off? Who knows. He may flame out or simply not adjust to the Canadian game but I'm glad they are bringing in guys to push people who may have gotten complacent.

Where should the receivers come back to? The defence is sitting is short zones and daring our QB's to hit a window, which they've done few times. If we had a QB who could make a read and a throw, you could put the receivers down. There is nowhere for receivers to come back to. We don't throw deep, our veteran QB can't handle a blitz and teams are just sitting in the middle of the field and short zones daring someone to beat them, which makes it almost impossible to run the ball without tossing in everyone to block. We're probably the easiest team to defend in recent CFL history. Word on the street (ok, heard it from Rick Ralph) is none of our receivers are running the correct routes, and TE is the only one actually performing on game day like he does in practice. Haven't watched many of the games (only listened) so can't judge. Is it really the vet QB can't handle a blitz or our OL is just that awful? Little of column A .. little of column B ..

They aren't going to hire a new head coach (or put a new one in place) until they hire a new GM. No GM will want the baggage that comes with this team and its staff. Burke lasts the season.

The point I was trying to make actually was that having a strong arm doesn't mean a guy will be a top QB. Yes Bishop and Jackson had more success that Dinwiddie but there are also QBs who weren't overly blessed with arm strength who have had a lot more success than Bishop and Jackson. Doug Flutie immediately comes to mind. Hell, Jeff Garcia didn't have a cannon for an arm either and still had a great career in both the CFL and NFL.
