M.O.A.B.

If we can only bring one of E.Jackson and Nik Lewis, I would rather have E.Jackson. But if he will come in cheap and Walters can afford to get both I would gladly have Nik Lewis on my team.

I got a good feeling that there will be Free Agency Frenzy part 2 comes August/September

Sears will garner interest from all 9 teams. I just hope he either re-sign with Bombers or sign east.

I would love to see Sears back but it's not the end of the world if he chose to go elsewhere. Meanwhile I like the prospect of having Wright on SAM.

Talks with Bombers' Sears break down The Bombers have 11 players who are slated to hit free agency on Tuesday, and it looks like all of them are going to test the waters. Winnipeg GM Kyle Walters was hopeful Friday that he was going to get linebacker Johnny Sears signed to a new deal before Tuesday, but that had changed by Sunday night. Walters said Sears has rejected Winnipeg's latest offer and will be going to free agency. The only other player Walters has been negotiating with is backup quarterback Brian Brohm, but Walters said no deal is imminent. The remaining nine who are free to look elsewhere is headed by left tackle Glenn January, who along with Steve Morley, is the longest serving Bomber. Since January is on the way out of Winnipeg, expect the Bombers to go after Calgary's Stanley Bryant or Toronto's SirVincent Rogers in free agency. The rest of Winnipeg's free agents are receivers Romby Bryant, Aaron Kelly and Brett Carter, offensive linemen Gord Hinse and Dan Knapp, linebacker Mike Cornell, defensive back Desia Dunn and running back Carl Volny. http://www.winnipegsun.com/2015/02/08/talks-with-bombers-sears-break-down

Interesting. It's very different on the iPhone app. Picture is the same but background is different.Time to upgrade to a better phone ;-)I've got an iPhone 5. In that case, time to upgrade the user.

Yes but he's a pending FA.

I wouldn't oppose on that four but Taylor Reed will definitely be a strong target for Walters. EDIT... unless he signed already

He has a point though. Matthews seems to struggle facing tall DBs like Pat Watkins.

I would like Bryant / Greaves / Picard / Wojt / Rogers ... w/ Goossen as the 6th.

Lot of dropsies for my liking.

As far as I know, he's still signed with the club and he's not a pending free-agent. Also, didn't heard anything that he's released or pursuing NFL job.

SAM.

You forgot the coffee!

I think Willy will lobby for Ernest Jackson to get signed here.

Is David Onyemata will be a sophomore or a junior this year?

Agree. Great project for Dobie, nonetheless..

Did Matt Sheridan conducted a nutrition seminar in Anola, MB ?

Whoa. Huge. If he's good the middle of the Bisons DL will be massive with Onyemata and him.

Growing up Tristan by Scott Taylor in HIGH SCHOOL, OTHER SPORTS, SPORTS, UNIVERSITY SCOTT TAYLOR, MyToba.ca Photos by LLOYD LOUIE The maturity of Tristan Bredin has been an eye-opener for Brian Dobie. There was a time, not long ago, when the head coach of the University of Manitoba Bisons was a little cool on Bredin’s football abilities. Dobie knew Bredin was big. He also knew the teenager was the nephew of former NFL star William (The Refrigerator) Perry. But like many coaches in Manitoba, he saw a kid who didn’t appear to take the game all that seriously. He knew Bredin was young, but he also saw the young man as a gifted athlete wasting his time. Back in the summer of 2013, after Bredin was cut by Manitoba’s under-18 provincial team coaches right before the team was to leave for the Football Canada Cup in Moncton, Dobie was like most coaches in Manitoba. He didn’t write the kid off, but he wasn’t knocking on his door to recruit him, either. Now, however, Dobie is an unabashed fan. In one year, Tristan Bredin has gone from being a big lazy kid to a hard-working, passionate young adult with a legitimate football future. Maybe it was getting cut. Maybe it was good coaching. Maybe it was peer pressure. Whatever the reason, Dobie would love to see Bredin in a Bisons uniform in 2015. “I’ve really warmed to that kid,” Dobie said the other day. “He’s completely different. I know there were a lot of coaches who wanted to write him off, but from where I sit, he’s really changed. He’s a big, big kid who looks like a very good athlete. Our defensive co-ordinator, Stan Pierre, was saying the other day, ‘We really like Tristan Bredin,’ and a couple of the other coaches didn’t agree. Stan said, ‘Look at him. Just look at him. Look at his size and say that’s not interesting to you.’ He’s a kid we’re going after. We can’t let him get away.” Bredin is emerging as one of the top prospects in Manitoba for three reasons: one, he’s matured dramatically since getting cut from the provincial team in 2013; two, he’s 6-foot-4, 379 pounds; and three, he’s a good athlete who is working harder at the game and his school work. Fact is, Tristan Bredin is a smart young man who has realized that size isn’t everything. After playing superbly for Team Manitoba at the 2014 Football Canada Cup in Saskatoon, Bredin took two major steps this summer: He not only made the provincial team this year, he played outstanding football at the national championship and in one of Manitoba’s victories he was named defensive player of the game. The huge interior lineman, who will go both ways for the WHSFL’s Murdoch MacKay Clansmen this season, is still only 16 years old and yet is starting to emerge as a can’t-miss university recruit. “I think I played pretty well in Saskatoon,” Bredin said modestly. “People told me I played pretty good. I must have played OK, because I talked to a lot of schools in Saskatoon. I talked to the U of M and it’s definitely an option for me. I had a scout tell me that a couple of American universities are interested in me. I want to play university football as soon as I can after I graduate because I want to be able to make an impact right away.” Bredin, who will turn 17 in September, is heading into Grade 12 at Murdoch. Last year, he helped the Clansmen reach the provincial final at Investors Group Field. Murdoch was beaten by a bigger, better team from St. Paul’s, but it was still a successful campaign. This year, it’s a new Murdoch team, a rebuilding team. The school graduated 18 players including all-star quarterback Drenin Busch who is now at the U of M. “We have enough returning players and we’ll have a great line on both sides of the ball,” Bredin said. “With me, Zack Williams (who has committed to the University of North Dakota for 2015), Jared Lazarenko (one of the most sought-after recruits in the province) and Jalen Burley at end (the team’s tailback on offence), our defensive line will be pretty good, I think. Jalen is only in Grade 10, but he’s 6-foot-3, 225 pounds and he’s very quick off the ball. We’ll go both ways, too. I’m excited about the upcoming season.” Murdoch opens its 2014 Winnipeg High School Football League schedule on Sept. 4 in Brandon against Crocus Plains. They’ll play their first game in Winnipeg on Sept. 13 at Vincent Massey. “I’m excited about this season,” Bredin said. “We might not be as good as we were last year, but we have a really good group of guys and two really good lines. You can go a long way with good line play.” Indeed. And as Tristan Bredin continues to mature, he could go a long way, too. http://mytoba.ca/sports/growing-up-tristan/

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming Whoa.. @MBBisons announce the commitment of a 6'4" 360-pound DT who will be 17 for another 7 months — Tristan Bredin out of Anola, Manitoba. Whoa! That's a big kid.

Just for point of discussions. I believe Brett Jones is not yet signed with 7 days to go. I know he is a Center and I'm not sure if he can be a Guard? But if he is, would he fit here and be an upgrade?
