In a league starved for NI talent, you could probably get an asset in return if the team decided to go that route..

Might not be as open and shut as that .. LOL Oops. It's all good .. just couldn't resist.

Might not be as open and shut as that ..

Phil Hunt? I didn't realize he was still kicking around... good for him... He's only 29 years old. He was cut. He'd be an interesting pick up. He spent last year out of football before signing on with the Lions this off season. I wonder if he's ready for a CFL comeback. Coming off an ACL injury, bouncing from the Eagles, the Colts and now the Lions .. he may not be the same player he was when he left .. Shawn Lemon also just got released by the 49ers. He's someone the organization may want to touch base with. His acl injury was two years ago when he was with the eagles. I doubt that's an issue at this point. But no, there's no guarantee he's anything close to what he was when he left. I know when the injury was .. just noting it along with how he's bounced around .. which may be an indicator of the miles catching up to him .. can't honestly say I've watched him with his time with the Colts or the Lions ..

I'd be pissed too getting pulled like that .. he made a mistake while under a great deal of pressure .. happens to the best quarterbacks from time to time .. but he was one of the few Rider players playing with any sense of urgency. What a gong show.

Not disagreeing with this at all .. wasn't the best draft class all around .. but given that we didn't hit on a single player (outside Fitzgerald who played a handful of snaps for us) .. it's particularly painful.

And the hits keep coming ... @murraylp Chris Getzlaf just helped off field with left leg injury. Not a good sign.

Mulumba would have dropped to late 2nd or 3rd round without Mack... signed to Green Bay was too much risk Nothing wrong with picking up Bilukidi where we did I generally don't have issue with teams taking fliers on guys who have NFL aspirations .. if you've got 2-4 round pick to burn .. absolutely do it. That said, when you are / were a team as bereft of NI talent as the Bombers.. it's important to land guys early in the draft who can push those marginal starters and potentially contribute right away. The Bombers 2013 draft class was a complete bust and it's somewhat symptomatic of Mack's approach .. he was a guy enamored with "athletes" .. guys with good measurables .. and, by and large, those guys didn't pan out.

This is why I am waiting for the official release of Windows 10 .. also known as SP1.

Right now I'm listening to Yelawolf, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes ... and a lot of Sirius XM (Faction)

I think quality discussion has run its course in THIS thread. Feel free to take any salient (football related) points to a new / other threads.

Hey guys. Let's reset the discussion and keep it on football (as opposed to each other). I'd hate to have to lock a thread because we couldn't keep the conversation on point.

Why this was in the Bomber forum .. I have no idea .. /moved

Shhh! You'll be branded as a Rider fan. Pffft, Rider fans.

And .. Let's put this one to bed.

You folks pining away for Higgins DO remember that the organization felt so enamoured by his start last year that they were compelled to trot out (the shell of) Don Matthews in an inspirational / consultative capacity right? There are reasons he's unemployed. Him not being hired by Popp is least among them.

Signage to help them in their search ..

No .. but you NEED to have someone who isn't simply filling a jersey in the middle of your defence. Hiding a guy on the wide side of the field is one thing .. trying to do it down the middle is something else entirely.

Simple problem .. he should look better than he is given that he's played for Hall in this defence .. he may make the odd play (right place at the right time) but he rarely gets home on his pressures .. doesn't get off blocks particularly well .. he lacks range and fluidity in general .. he's essentially a TED linebacker out there absorbing bodies and letting guys like Bass make plays.So for me, his play is underwhelming. I expect more of an impact from that spot. It feels like we are trying to hide a NI in such a way so that he won't be a terrible liability.

*cough cough*

It's better to be the hammer than the nail for a change. We've had so many soft players come through here in the past several years it's refreshing to get one that pounds opponents. I haven't liked a LBer this much in their rookie season since Joe Lobendahn. Need more guys on this team who are willing to set the tone.

Geesus .. ain't he a peach.

Google Tom Lukiwski, MP and current Parliamentary Secretary then consider this a case of the pot calling the kettle black. That said, each party is going to have candidates with a few skeletons in their closets .. you'd hope that the people vetting these individuals would do a more thorough job and ensure they are fit to represent the values of their constituents and Canada as a whole. Im not saying its a Liberal problem. Just saying. Probably more a NDP problem actually as their candidates have been saying some goofy things. But the anti-Semitic nature of the NDP doesnt seem so much a nut job position as a general NDP one. The comment from the Liberal candidate is just foolish if you want to be an elected official in Canada and she certainly seems like a miserable human being. Not disagreeing in the least. I just always find it funny how this sort of information is brought to light .. in this case, a decidedly Conservative blog, has chosen to shine a light on a "vicious candidate" running for Trudeau .. when in fact there are elected Conservative MPs / Cabinet members who have offered up equally repugnant comments. .. Those in glasses houses and all ..
