Yeah I don't get why people keep saying losing Rourke is cap space for the lions. They lose space because anyone they get is going to cost way more than Rourke did last season. I mean save cap space compared to what Rourke would have made this year after getting a fay new contract sure... but not compared to last year.

You knew changes were coming to a roster that couldn't piss a drop in the last part of the season.

you know what haunts me? It's early in the game when Collaros just gunned a pass in to Oliveira I think that missed him. Maybe wouldn't have converted the first down but certainly could have made it close and a sure first down pass that Ellingson got his hands on and dropped. Think those were the first 2 series. Make those plays and the game might have gone differently from the outset.

Why not both?

He probably could've/should've been starting in 2021. He is a damned good player. Believe he was ahead of gray on the depth chart then as well just for example.

Honestly losing Demski would suck... but we wouldn't exactly be hurting for Canadian receivers with wolitarsky and what O'Leary Orange showed last year. Yes it would be a change in how the offense would work but so what? We have players and coaches that can adapt.

Yeah there is just no way in my mind you can justify sinking that much into one guy... the Bombers strength for the last several years has been their depth and the ability to plug and play guys everywhere. you start having salaries that huge you impact your depth and you wind up like the riders bitching and moaning about every starter that gets hurt. Bombers still got one of if not the best offensive lines in the league we will be fine, but man I would have loved to see Desjarlais back here.

Sucks he is going elsewhere but man that's a lot of cash for a guard....

It's funny because they believe it. Give ODay a multi year extension! Do it!

Smith has a history of blowing leads in polls by saying stupid **** though. Hopefully that trend continues.

And likely to lose linebackers that were decent

More like he is simply what would happen if you put a microphone in front of a riderfans poster. Just a fanboi without any understanding of how the sport really works spewing biased homer takes and then refusing to accept that he was wrong.

underrated by who? It's the primary reason the team gave him a shot to play in 2019.

Not to mention it is far better for his healthy to not be subjected to the absolute **** that Sask is trotting out for an offensive line. You want to talk about good family decisions a guy not having his head turned to mush is a pretty good reason to stay the **** away from Sask.

Road kill.

you came to the non-bomber offseason news thread looking for bomber news?

what does the CBA say though?

Did he give it up when the horses drowned?

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Gray is a RT replacement option

The thought oof Desjarlais, Eli and dobson as the interior is just.... wow.

Yeah Eli was a nasty road grader type too. The ol is going to straight up bully people next season and I love it.

No no no, it was a misunderstanding!

Yeah a staffer just took it upon themselves.... after Smith talked about the issue for ages...

Not sure anyone is worried about how many tackles bighill has or doesn't have. Was more an eye test that he wasn't making the same plays we have come to expect.
