Ouch.

That's not what he said. He said our problem last year was our DL couldn't do a damn thing to create pressure, which was largely why we struggled so much. Gave the QB way too much time to throw. We fixed that this year.

You can see what you see all you want - you're going to talk performance in a pre-season game where we sat our best defensive corner and put our other one on the bench for about 95% of the defensive snaps? Go for it. Our secondary this preseason is not at all indicative of what you're going to see this season and neither is yours. You have a young, raw defense that is going to go through growing pains. Even your experienced players aren't experienced with eachother. That is going to be a problem for you guys early on. The things you're saying make me wonder if you even watched the game. Montreal "called the dogs off early"? We sat Willy before they sat Glenn down.

Your defense is better than ours based on what, exactly? I mean, I trust Chris Jones as a football guy as much as you do, but right now, going off what the common fan has for knowledge, it's pretty much impossible to say you look better than us on paper. Our DL is better although it's probably a lot closer than most Bomber fans think ... I may even give you the edge but I don't like your interior as much, our LB are basically even on paper although it's tough to not give the Bombers the edge given that our guys are going into their second year as a unit and yours have never played together and your secondary is an absolute mess until proven otherwise. I think the process will eventually show to have been worth it, but right now your secondary looks absolutely atrocious - you have a guy playing corner with your first team defense that was a receiver until training camp. Give me a break.

It's pretty obvious what has happened although for the sake of his privacy, I'm sure they'll never talk about it. They restructured his deal to give him upfront money so he could address the legal issues he's having at home with his family. It was never a holdout.

I'm so used to seeing fans overvalue their own players that it's even weirder to see one who grossly undervalues them.

Not bad for a rookie though. And he's got pretty much every attribute you'd look for. I wish he was a Bomber.

It's going to be Roosevelt who everyone over here is sleeping on, but he's going to have a great year.

Preseason. Seen some alright things. Chiles' mitts are startlingly bad though. Smith looks decent running around back there. SSK defensive line looks strong.

Pretty smart guy, I like a lot of what he has to say. I don't often agree with what he says on the defensive side of the ball, but he absolutely gives good offensive analysis.

Every pool is topless for me!

Flamingo - it's central to the strip, affordable and the pool is incredible.

They didn't show Duron Carter with his mouth shut all night, he just went on and on yapping at anyone in his vicinity. All the talent but so annoying.

Hubbard, Mayo, Corney, Butcher, Bennett, Williams, Flanders ... nice.

Golly, relax. No "sources". I have no relevant connections within the Bomber locker room these days, haven't for a while. This is just a story I heard last year. No "insider" stuff, just a story passed around over a few beers.

I can't tell you anything specific but let's just say his name rhymes with Wemond Tashington.

And for those wondering, he ABSOLUTELY will tear a strip off players if they deserve it. Behind closed doors. I know of at least one player he tore into last year. Deservingly so. Just because we don't hear about it doesn't mean it's not happening.

I don't get why we'd deal Trouba for a forward. We already have too many.

I didn't even think Norman was signed, tbh

Things I'm excited to see: Tommy Mayonnaise at receiver Loffler at safety Hubbard vs. Green at rush end Corney taking reps Things I'm not excited to see: Kevin Cone taking the bulk of the reps at WR Jace Davis not being able to play Anyone significant and important to our team getting dinged up

I get the concept that Macho was miscast last year and I'm willing to concede that maybe Richie can recreate Macho's 2014 performance. My only problem is he wasn't just bad last year, he was absolutely terrible. I'm willing to give him a chance, though. I don't have high expectations but hey, let's see him bring it.

To be fair, you may be capable of this kind of behavior but it's quite obvious that a lot of fans are not.

lol I love the blunt "Macho is terrible" comment. He really is.

IF they trade him, I doubt they get a first for him. Not with this stink on him.

JSJ has officially asked for a trade as per Justin Dunk
