do or die

Still would like to plug in a BIG receiver somewhere.........but like the playmaking potential we have picked up

Assuming we can actually recruit any......

OL will be handled internally....

TSN reporting that the second year of Harris deal will pay him 400K. Ouch.

Macho over Washington would represent an upgrade.... Excuse me. Glug.. glug.. gulg... gulg.........

Puzzled by this signing......watching Harris, last season, and not impressed at all. A ton of missed tackles.

Any one surprised that Moore would not be back this year.....like really?

Well, the Riders robbed Peter (Taman cap hell)......now they pay Paul.

With signing Nichols....we got rid of Brohm.... Win-win

Nichols is the best option at backup right now. That is..... until this organization actually figures out how to acquire and develop their own Quarterbacks. You could time the progress there, with a sundial. Or perhaps not.

Sage move. Say what you want about the guy....but he is far and away better than any of our "recruits" lately. Which, of course is a root problem round these parts.

Yes, in this league...you can have a quick turnaround, with plenty of examples, the last couple of years. Right. Fine. The deal for this organization is to.....just....do....it. No more idle talk. No more entries into the tried and true Blue Bomber Excuse Book. Give us something.....

200k for limited blocking, and terrible shotgun snaps. At least we cut our our losses, here....

Sure we need better OL play, a complementary RB, and more size/speed at receiver. But our O was really poorly designed from the get-go: Every run play a form of stretch play, with the RB coming to a dead stop, taking the handoff Running shotgun formations with a C who couldn't make the snaps (Picard) Having a zone blocking scheme, that confused only our OL-men Running gimmick plays for a player who is not a YAC guy (Denmark) Having no apparent plan against pressure D packages, especially zone blitzes Running short yardage plays from shotgun Slowest overall tempo on O......ever. No draw/screen game O not properly prepared for start of games.....20 to 30 min. of total futility, most games I could go on and on.....but you get the picture. Lapo might not be the be and end all, as OC's go. But he should be able to at least DESIGN something better for the players to work with. Why we didn't can Marcel along with Etch, before this year.... is still an enduring (and enraging) mystery.

Between Lapo and MOS....we will have the film broken right down to pieces....

What makes Lapo so special? You only fired me, the one time. Sincerely, Joe Paopao

Of course our O will be better. Hell, a snowball mounted on a stick is an upgrade over Marcel. Perhaps the third time is the charm for Lapo. Giving him the clean slate on this one.... According to this young, innovative poster....

This might just work. After all, being on the internet all this time, has done wonders for my confidence and swagger.......

Will give Lapo some credit here.....not many guys come back as an OC, after being fired as a OC...then a HC, by the same team..... Now that's determination....

Well, that search must have been pretty exhausting...... Cycling around the block, year after year....is a Bomber speciality. Our brain trust must be wearing bicycle helmets, by now.

2 yrs ago, Edmonton was crap, last year Ottawa was crap......there is hope. Well, one would think...

Remember Lapo having us kick a FG from the 1 yd line, a few times....

Well, when you can't reel in the top guys, or locate up and comers........and settle for proven retreads.... this is what you get. A rookie HC, requires the strongest possible staff around him - naturally, we did the complete inverse.....

Walters did a pretty good job of articulating current weakness, on this team. Mind you, a fair number of posters, on this site....have or could have done the same. The deal is how will these issues will be dealt with, this off-season. Breaking the chain of incompetence.... in hiring OC's.. is a must, as well.

So torn and divided, at the moment...... don't know if I should be picking up my gin glass with my right....or left hand. All I know is that it still gets picked up.
