TBURGESS

Are you suggesting that the team wanted the pigeon poop jerseys?

Don't try to apply any logic to this list. It's just a wasted effort.

I've got no evidence, just a theory. Same holds true for Rick Campbell. I'm thinking that we will see more resigning in the future and less firing of coaches who still have time left on their contracts to get around the SMS rules.

Coach 'resigns' and gets paid out outside the management SMS rules. Coach 'fired' and gets paid out inside the SMS rules.

You're talking about players who were top guys at one point in their careers. By the time they try the CFL most are just trying to find their game again.

Folks who aren't in the locker room passionately arguing with other folks who aren't in the locker room about things that go on in the locker room. SMH.

Streveler needs to develop his passing game and make quicker/better reads. I think he's a better passer than most around here give him credit for, but he knows he can pick up 1st downs with his feet, so he uses that part of his game too often. When things break down, Nichols throws the ball away and Streveler goes for a run. Nichols has zero chance of making a first. Streveler has a pretty good chance of making a first. I wouldn't be happy with Streveler/McGuire because it's too much risk having just two young guys with Streveler being the vet. I'd be happiest with Arbuckle/Steveler as both have shown promise. I expect Nichols/Streveler which is OK I guess, but I'd prefer Collaros/Streveler if we go vet/youngun.

Good signing.

If we'd lost in the first round of the playoffs this year, it probably would have meant MOS's job so Collaros saved MOS' job just as much as Nichols did 3 years ago.

John Hodge -@JohnDHodge Hearing OL Jermarcus Hardrick has agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension in Winnipeg. The 29-year-old has started 67 games since he joined the team in 2016.

MOS and Walters earned their extensions this year. Good signings.

I'm surprised they gave him a say in hiring his boss.

Maybe Collaros, like Neuf, wasn't really injured for most of the season. Just on the IR to get the younger players playing time and to save SMS. Maybe he isn't an injury issue at all. Heck.. maybe being injury prone isn't a real thing at all. 😂🤣😂

My bad, I meant the Calgary game, not the Regina game. Change WF to WSF.

Hamilton can afford Masoli at starters money because Evans is on a cheap contract. I could see a 1 year deal with the carrot being a realistic chance of getting to the Grey Cup and winning it. That's a bigger deal in the long run than a few thousand dollars this year.

The WF was great play calling. Not so much in the GC. 7 turn overs produced just 2 TD's.

3 OL, Harris, Demski, Woli

Demski played the whole year. Whitehead didn't. That's what I mean by spot duty. Making big plays in some games and not doing much in others is the definition of hot/cold.

Buck's been in charge of our QB's for years. He has mostly the same names as PLAP on his resume. PLAP's results are Buck's results. I assume that Buck will mostly continue to run PLAP's offence. I doubt he makes significant changes from what's been working for us especially in the beginning.

So much fake news. So many alternative facts. I hardly know where to start. I didn't rant against PLAP. Seems like you're confusing me with 17 🤣. No, I don't like Nichols check downs. I prefer Collaros' escapability and completions to keep drives going. None of that changes the real facts that are the stats nor does it make them cherry picked. Whitehead's biggest asset is his speed. That's what makes him a deep threat, not the 500 or so yards he got in spot playing time. Demski is hot and cold and he came into his own at the end of the year and the playoffs. You can call that criticism if you want. I call it observation. FTR: That doesn't mean that I don't know that Whitehead also runs hot and cold or that I'd replace Demski on the offence. Say what you want about Woli and Demski. The stats tell a different story. You're just overvaluing NI's. I never said the sky was falling because Kongbo is getting an NFL shot. I said good for him and good for the Bombers to let him. I don't want to go back and check to check if we used a DI on offence all season, so I'll give that one to you.

So you don't think the offence would be more dynamic with another deep threat like Whitehead, even as a DI? Peterman is loved around here but, we wouldn't really miss his 120-150 yards a season. Woli got 360 yards receiving. I doubt that kind of output would be hard for an import to replace or improve upon. Woli's passport is as important as his output. Demski's hot and cold, but he really came into his own in the last quarter of the season and the playoffs.

Congrats to PLAP. He's likely learned a lot since his last shot at HC. Hopefully that means he'll be a better HC this time around. Expect Ottawa to bring in a vet QB like Masoli, Collaros or Nichols, cuz PLAP's seen how hard it is to win with poor QB's. I'd rather bring in an experienced OC than give the job to Buck. Closely watching PLAP be an OC isn't the same as being an OC. Buck has zero OC experience and he'll likely fall back to PLAP's offence because that's the one he knows best. More of the same, when folks around here blamed PLAP for all kinds of problems, doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We're going to find out just how much PLAP meant to the team. I wonder if we're expecting the new OC to start 6 NI's and not have any DI's to work with.

Collaros has a slightly higher chance of being out because of his concussion history, but all QB's can be injured on one hit.

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 @DarrinBauming The #Bombers have released Canadian rush end Jonathan Kongbo to pursue NFL opportunities. Kongbo suffered a torn ACL late in his final NCAA season, 2018. GM Kyle Walters statement…

Only if Kongbo is the 8th NI.
