This seems like a very interesting hire. He's old ... 71 years old ... but he's got a TON of NCAA OC experience at big name schools.
-
As per Darren Cameron.
-
Crazy that I saw him at the wedding social last night about ten minutes before he left and then he comes home to that.

Is this discussion really happening right now?

Used to be a big PJ fan. Not anymore.

Undersized ... Penn State ...
Should announce his signing some time next week

According to Rod Pederson, 4 teams have made offers to Jock Sanders. I wonder if the Bombers are one of those 4 teams?
He'd likely command a salary in the $120k range but he is extremely versatile; he's a RB, SB, KR and PR. Only 26 years old.
Is that what Pederson said?
No. Those are my thoughts. Why?
Seems way high for a guy that isn't going to play more than about 30% of your offensive snaps.

I was really hoping to hear your opinion on Shannon Boatman just because I think it'd be hilarious to see you break his game down.
There's really no coincidence the guy shares the same initials as "speed bump"

We did no such thing, he retired on his own terms which I respect enormously.Perhaps my memories are tainted with his constant crying to the refs and half efforts going to the ball in the last two years.
Maybe this is good that we are shedding the old players and bringing in new blood from winning teams.
Unless you believe friesen who claims he was forced out
I can't stand Friesen but that's not what he meant. He was just saying that like Stegall and Brown, TE was forced to retire without winning a ring. As in ... he didn't win a ring before his time was up.

I would advise you go back to the part where I wrote "I could find quite a few ways to criticize our coaching staff but I'm not sure that a lack of CFL experience would be one of them."
As in ... I don't think it's a great staff, but it's not because of their lack of job experience.
-
I repeat set your standards higher. Is better than recently a good indication of having constructed a good staff? Again this is staff is a reflection of a dismantled organizations inability to attract both FAs and coaches.
So in summation, you actually didn't bother to read what I wrote.

Not sure this staff is shaping up as a catalogue of hall of fame coaches. Again too many guys with limited CFL experience.
I could find quite a few ways to criticize our coaching staff but I'm not sure that a lack of CFL experience would be one of them.
On offense, our OC has 5 years experience as a CFL OC, our WR coach has 3 years as a CFL WR coach and our short list for OL coach includes very experienced candidates.
On the defensive side of the ball, our DC has 6 years experience as a CFL DC, our DB coach has 4 years as a CFL DB coach and our DL coach has 2 years as a CFL DL coach. That's quite a bit of experience for those positions.
The least experience comes on ST, where our HC has a good amount of experience.

Best comparison in terms of career that I can think of off the top of my head is Herman Moore.
-
Mike Scheper to coach the D-Line, Nelson Martin to coach the DBs.
No LB coach, OL coach or QB coach announced yet ... which leads me to believe that's probably where the hold up has been terms of announcing names.

As for Edwards.... he was a very good player... wouldn't say he was elite. He was the perfect 3rd option receiver but didn't quite take it over when Milt retired and when he had to step up and be the #1 guy. Overall though a very good career with the Blue and at least he went out without any huge injuries like Lewis. He definitely would be a perfect TC coach to help teach the receivers on how to plead to refs that they were being interfered with.
2007 - 2nd in the league in receiving yards and touchdowns
2008 - missed 3 games, still went over 1000 yards and only finished 13th because it was one of the craziest passing years in recent memory
2009 - down year ... the forgotten year
2010 - 2nd in the league in receiving yards and touchdowns (1300+ yards)
2011 - 7th in the league in receiving yards, 3rd in touchdowns
2012 - 8th in the league in receiving yards
8th in the league or better in an 8 team league does NOT equate to a "perfect 3rd option"
Edwards was an elite receiver. One of the league's best for a period of 6-7 years. And considering who he had tossing him the rock for the majority of the time, it's even more impressive.

Wow.
Ricky Schmitt signs in BC.

The new jerseys are disgusting. They completely overthought the process and should've followed suit with the whole "old is new again" thing that has taken over recently.
Classic, simple, clean. That's how they should have went with it. The current product looks like what happens when a designer gets angry after you take his glue gun and bedazzling kit away. Too many lines, colored trims and other nonsense just for the sake of being new.
Home jersey - royal blue, white numbers, gold trim.
Away jersey - white, royal blue numbers, gold trim.

That was a time when the Stamps were one step from a bankruptcy & were badly managed & coached. However we got West it was for virtually a song & he helped us win 3 Grey Cups. But he was a great player in Calgary before he came to the Bombers. We picked up linebacker Frank Robinson virtually the same way from the Riders. We gave up virtually nothing for him. Either Robson or Murphy, whoever was GM a the time fleeced the Stamps & Riders for those players. Oh yeah, THEN... we picked up linebacker Delbert Fowler from the Als for nothing.... Amazing..
I could never figure out why Calgary let that guy go. It would be like BC giving us Eliminian.I wouldn't call West a discard. he was a CFL ALL Star in Calgary before coming here in 1984 & played a lot of great seasons for the Bombers.
Oddly enough, the only reason they picked up Robinson was because Fowler refused to report to the team when they acquired them. They had sent their starting NI LB to Montreal for Fowler but had a giant hole when he didn't report so they brought in Robinson then Fowler reported a couple weeks later.
Yeah, could be as that was nearly 30 years ago. I do know Fowler got here in 1985 but Robinson arrived in 1984. That linebacker corps got even better when Greg Battle got here in 1988. That Bomber defense from 1984 thru 1990 was damned good.
Fowler was here in 1984.
I have this book I just bought, it's all about the 1984 championship season (written in late 1984/early 1985) and it talks all about the Fowler trade and his holdout leading to the signing of Robinson. The Bombers were slated to start the year with non-import Ken Ciancone at LB, then they traded him to Montreal for Fowler on June 23 but Fowler didn't report for about a week so they went out and signed Robinson.
Article in here talks about it too.

Bombers name Gene Dahlquist as new QB coach

Also worth noting, he's been the QB coach at every NCAA job he's ever held.
