Very interested to see how this unfolds.

Is that 46% TDs or just scoring in general?... I hope the former Touchdowns. RZ percentage isn't broken out very specific, it's basically touchdowns or everything else.

Bombers were 46% in the red zone this year, 7th in the league but there's like 4 or 5 teams all clumped together within a couple percentage points. Hamilton and Ottawa were markedly the weakest RZ offenses all year.

Played with Maurice in Toronto and Carolina, no doubt this is the guy Maurice wanted

Shudders. Posts like this make me wonder if some folks just will never be happy around here.

I love seeing Kane troll the **** out of trigger happy media and fans. It's hilarious.

or that we are. Just saying

The play calling frustrated me at times. The schemes needed work. But to be quite honest, swap out Bryant for a competent receiver, Grigsby for Cotton and even a minor upgrade on the offensive line and I think this offense can be successful.

You're right. They should hire Doublezero.

I think it's funny that the media is latching onto those comments about player personnel as if we have a gang of misfits running around out there that the new coordinator is going to have to "deal with"

Just in case anyone was curious, there was a meeting in Winnipeg recently that Devone Claybrooks attended.

My friend was telling me a story the other day when he took a trip to watch the Chiefs play. Their van stopped at Walmart in Rockford and I guess somehow they got on the topic of Canada with the checkout lady. She said to them "hey that's cool, I used to live in Canada!" and when they asked where ... she said ... "North Dakota!"

Hmmm ... so Benevides still an option too, eh? Interesting.

Nowhere near enough credit for a guy like Bucknor ... he played great for us last year. Great? No let's not get delusional here. He was adequate. You bring the guy back for sure but let's not pretend the team wouldn't have continued along just fine without him. For a Canadian on the corner, he was great. Would we be worse off if he left? Yes.

Of the three ... I think I'd want Claybrooks, Hall or Miles in that order. Claybrooks really intrigues me because if O'Shea wanted Stubler last year, he's probably going to be interested in the guy's understudy. That being said, a lot of talk floating around that Claybrooks is pretty set on staying in Calgary. If I was a betting man, I'd say we end up with Hall.

Well then.

Didnt you say you would retain him if you were the Bombers? I probably would have. But there were valid arguments on either side of the fence. I'm just happy I don't have to hear about it anymore.

Fantastic.

Anyone else hear these rumors that Burmistrov is in Winnipeg? And Budaj is on his way there? I wonder what that's about.

I agree.. As the team that has, without a doubt, the worst canadian talent depth in the land... We simply cannot afford to kick players to the curb and hope to replace them.. We need to keep them around in case we don't land a better LB/DB to play teams or OL to push the guys currently rostered.. In an ideal world, sure we will replace the backup backups etc with better talent but one never knows.. If that means keeping them on the roster a bit longer, so be it.. I don't necessarily believe that to be true either. We have the worst top end Canadian talent in the league, but as far as depth goes, we got a lot more out of our backend guys than most teams would.

I'm not saying they need to have their roles back, I'm saying there's room for them somewhere. Guys like West, Thomas and Lucas serve purposes. Maybe we can bump them down the depth chart but not off the roster entirely. Same with the OL.

Turning over 50% of our Can-con is a sure recipe for failure. Besides ... Newman, Sherman, JFG, Kohlert, Watson, Bucknor, Jones, Briggs, Pontbriand, Goossen, Neufeld, Greaves, Hajrullahu, Thomas, Lucas, Morley, West ... That's 17 guys right there and while they're not all "stars" you can certainly find roles for them on a roster.
