Mike

To be fair to Walters, if our draft strategy had been left entirely in his hands, our first and second round picks over the past couple of years would have looked a lot like Edmontons. Walters liked Mitchell, Coehoorn, Chambers over Muamba, Etienne and Pencer. Probably would've been Edem/Urban or D'Aguilar in 2013. Not a bad end result. Does missing on Muamba get made up for with the rest of those picks though?

I think we know that Mike Edem would be wearing Blue and Gold right now if it were up to Walters, and that probably would have meant Cauchy would have spent most of the season on ST, if he had started at all. Mike Edem would be a Bomber. Henoc Muamba wouldn't. Walters isn't invincible. I like him but he's not bulletproof with his drafting approach either. Nobody is.

I remember when people laughed at Jim Barker for taking Cory Greenwood and now, a few years later after an NFL stint for Greenwood, Barker gets applauded for the approach he took with that pick. His NI depth was crap at the time too. Just something worth thinking about.

You think BC is set up for success? I sure don't.

Vega is a great signing. Awesome leadership guy I don't mind it, hes a solid player and he seems like a good guy but I'm a little surprised with the pageantry considering that wasn't exactly an area of weakness and he's not exactly a star. I don't recall off season press conferences being held for anyone but QBs around here. that being said, definitely a solid addition to the team. To a common fan who only reads headlines, a player returning from the NFL after a full year hiatus is probably a pretty big deal.

Just announced.

I don't think there are a lot of lost causes on our OL. Morley, Sorensen and Boatman are probably the only ones. Jarvis Jones is a guy who I can see turning out to be a grade A import OL, he's just gotta get the snaps under his belt to earn that distinction. Greaves could benefit from a new coach and I can see him hitting an all-star level. I still think Neufeld, Pencer and Swiston have futures in the CFL as serviceable if not solid linemen, but as of right now, I just can't call them average.

January: B+ Greaves: C Sorensen: D Morley: D- Jones: C Neufeld: C- Pencer: D Swiston: C- Douglas: NA Boatman: Z

I don't get it??? It's something Etcheverry would do.

Cauchy Muamba defensive end.

Liram has arugula

And people though Bellefeuille's name was hard to pronounce and write! Oh god I can't even imagine. Going off memory ... hajrulaluhu? that'll be a nightmare

Turner will decide when you are stuck with these jokes until.

Well that just blows.

Thought so, just wasn't sure because I didn't think HON was available

Better than what he looked like before when he ran around the indies

I know who Daniel Bryan is, that's why I'm wondering who he's actually talking about lol I didn't know Hugh O'Neill (the lookalike dude) was a FA.

Okay serious question. Who are you talking about when you say this? I've seen it twice now and I have no idea who you mean.

Rumor has it he time travelled into 2016 to assess his future sack totals in order to ensure he got the most suitable compensation possible.

even on a QB sneak? Isn't that the definition of "no-brainer"? That's why Tim Burke was in charge of them.

Nichols is a guy I'd like to cheer for when he's not playing Winnipeg. Always like to see a guy rebound after some nasty injuries.

Signed a two year extension today. I use the term "signed" loosely, since it's likely been signed for weeks now.

I don't like the hire any more than you do, I just don't think Montreal is the best representation of his work. I'd be more hesitant to buy in thanks to his average results in Hamilton.

You keep saying this, but the RB you speak of was past his prime and found himself out of football in 2007 after an incredibly bad start with the Als (72 yards in 4 games), the two WR you speak of DID put together 1000 yard seasons and that Hall of Fame QB who looked so awful as you put it actually improved in 2007 compared to his 2006 season, putting up a better completion %, more touchdowns per pass attempt, less interceptions per pass attempt and a higher overall QBR. Not to mention Charlie Carpenter had that OL playing like absolute garbage in 2007. There's a reason he lasted one year there. He turned an offensive line full of stars into swiss cheese with his bad, bad schemes. No idea what happened with that guy, it's like he suffered dementia in 2007 because he has a good track record otherwise. I'm not thrilled about Bellefeuille either but the way you're going on about the 2007 season doesn't make a lot of sense. They struggled out of the gate because teams knew Robert Edwards was a dud and they keyed in on the passing game since Montreal had no RB to work with and as soon as they cut him, their offense improved ten fold with Payton.
