Same goes for the NHL, and Capgeek worked. It was all pieced together from sources, the NHL doesn't publish salary and contract info. The problem for a CFL version will be a very shallow pool of sources, but if they use some of the better beat reporters and get some inside stuff from agents, it could be interesting.

What's the difference if Chungh starts and Neufeld is the 6th or if Neufeld starts and Chungh or Goossen is the 6th in terms of the cap? I'm not a fan of Neufeld at his natural position, tackle, and even less of a fan of him at guard. The injury he's been trying to recover from for 2 years is just about the worst one someone who depends on their lower body to gain strength and leverage from could suffer. I doubt he's ever able to play the majority of a season. If Chungh shows any inkling that he's ready he should start because we need some legit interior guys who can move a 300 lb guy off the line.

It's worth noting too that O'Shea does way more media than he is required to. He's called into CJOB's Sports Show for interviews a couple times in the last week beyond his Monday show, he also calls into TSN 1290 fairly often for interviews which he does not have to do. There is some truth to the saying that you get what you give. Seems that the media who act in a respectful, professional manner get a lot of time from O'Shea.

I don't know about that. Once he started saying that the Riders were doing a great job of everything the Bombers were doing poorly it became pretty transparent as to who it is.

Me and my friends still talk about the kid who crapped his pants in class in grade 4 too.

Regardless of whether a guy is a drop back and pass kind of QB or a guy who improvises more often, they gotta be able to move the chains with their arm/reads when the defense forces them to stay in the pocket. That is fundamental in this era of football. Flutie could, a guy like Damon Allen often struggled to when he played against teams that defended him well, and thus he played on many awful to average teams. A scrambling QB is the easiest thing for DC's to game plan against, but a guy who can burn teams from the pocket when he's contained is unstoppable, like Flutie. But talking about QB's from the 90s back is somewhat irrelevant too because the way defenses are scheming is completely different.

I don't think he'd fit on our regular season roster unless we have a few injuries. I think that's what he might have to wait for around the league, someone to get hurt.

I think Marve is going to have to show some pretty significant steps in terms of being able to pass and not just scramble to stay on the roster. If you can't pass from the pocket you can't play. Real easy with everyone playing gap control to contain and disrupt a scrambling QB. Portis is in a similar spot as a guy who isn't a good passer but might bring more as a #3 with his option abilities.

Bomber Camp Day #1 rating the best/worst
JuranBoldenRules replied to TuscaloosaBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
All CFL teams are putting up with it. Look at the suspended lists and guys watching from the sideline on day 1. Guys get tweaks, and generally you need to rest them so that they don't pop a hamstring or groin and end up out for months. -
Montreal cut Nick Boyd. He's got a huge leg, natural punter, right passport, played a bunch of games in IGF, wouldn't be opposed to picking him up.

I'm leery of brokers. Most of them have deep ties to certain insurance companies and they don't really do all that much "shopping." I fell into that situation not knowing any better with MIG and Red River Mutual when I first bought a home. Haven't used a broker since.

What's your projected starting lineup?
JuranBoldenRules replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Shaq Richardson. But so much competition and solid incumbents at DB. -
Bombers sign long-snapper Chad Rempel & Release Others...
JuranBoldenRules replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'd hope they keep Cronk around just in case. We gave up a lot of points last year on long snapping errors once Wild got injured. They can just keep his agents number too. There are a lot of guys around who can long snap. The Bombers made a choice last season to not use a roster spot on a guy who exclusively long snaps. They don't need to pay a long snapper to not play. -
TSN Pre-season Coverage (no Bombers)
JuranBoldenRules replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I haven't listened to music on radio in years, and probably won't again. Talk radio I will listen to though, but I often listen to stations from outside of the city. -
Rookie Camp Discussion & Reports - Day 1
JuranBoldenRules replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Denmark, Moore and Kohlert are all move the chains, sure hands type guys. We're really missing a boundary WR. Moore and Denmark are both ok there, but better suited to the slot. Based on Adams, Tuinei, Childs, Gettis, Clemons being in camp, that's the spot they are looking to fill. Having a run game that can break a tackle will open up some space for everyone too. Maybe my memory is flawed but I remember many big plays from Denmark. Yep, he can do it all. -
TSN Pre-season Coverage (no Bombers)
JuranBoldenRules replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Corus has basically committed ratings suicide in Winnipeg. Fire all the popular hosts, flip to a format that is already saturated in the city, and create shows that are grating to listen to (CJOB from 9 am to 3 PM). Every one of their stations is last place in its category and losing ground. -
I can't believe they got Richardson to come north so soon. Lots of DB's and receivers to compete. Wish they had a couple more rush ends to push Peach, Gibson and Brown are legit prospects though.

Addison Richards signs with the Bombers?
JuranBoldenRules replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Will be interesting to see how Richards adapts and how he ends up being used. Sounds like they want him to be a slot eventually, so he's going to have a steep learning curve as he was a guy who ran a lot of isolation routes at Regina, run by someone, get up and get the ball over someone, kind of routes that left him 1 on 1 with someone on the outside that he could beat physically. Now he's going to be running a lot more routes in conjunction with the other receivers, clearing space for other guys and learning how to find space cleared for him and he's not going to be able to beat guys with just size and speed. I'm not expecting much from him this season, he's in the Anthony Parker, Jade Etienne mold. -
Around the CFL Offseason Discussion
JuranBoldenRules replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Bryant literally had no ability to get himself open running any kind of route last season. If Willy made a couple perfect throws he would have looked better, sure. Poblah would be a decent addition with no expectations. He's struggled to stay healthy and establish any consistency, but he has a lot of ability. -
Number of "starters" in brackets after position. DL (1) - Westerman, Thomas, Brown LB (1)- Hurl, Waggoner, Briggs DB (1)- Bucknor, Jones, Sherman, West OL (3)- Picard, Greaves, Chungh, Goossen REC (1)- Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Bastien RB- Pontbriand LS- Cronk K- Hajrullahu Everyone else is battling for the 21st spot on the game roster.

I don't see anything wrong with that. It was unsafe to encourage people to be in the streets/congregate, both teams were there, they'd already missed two games that they have to make up in a pretty tight schedule. Is it dumb for a NHL game to happen in a snowstorm when both teams are there? Happened several times this season.

One less Braley team in the league
JuranBoldenRules replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Are you talking about when they played at the Mistake by the Lake? Toronto is extremely different compared to that era too. Unless they get the condo dwellers out to the games the problems won't be much different. Should get some better dates though. -
Thing is that guys don't have to play the same position every snap either. Hall has a pretty long history of interchanging his safety and two outside LB's, think Butler and Brackenridge.

Given next years draft class, about average, the length of the draft and Chapman's NCAA pedigree, it's somewhat baffling that no one thought he was worth a 7th rounder.
