We added a Thera-Plamondo to go with our Feoli-Gudino

Think we'd be getting away with highway robbery with those results.

I don't think the Bombers will draft for position and pick a receiver. If they feel like a receiver is the best player available, then they will.

Not a bad thing but there's an obvious disconnect between the media department of the Bombers and the day-to-day operations as Ed Tait gives Alex Chisum the editorial kiss of death.

Maybe Jeffcoat is a Jason Vega type that has the ability to work as a blocking or even catching TE

Which is probably why he jumped ship to begin with.

I know it's a knee-jerk reaction but if Bryan Bennett ends up being the next great CFL QB I am going to be pissed.

Might be a blessing in disguise if true. I was hoping he would come back and earn every bit of his salary (he showed well down the stretch)...but we have an assortment of riches at the receiver position, even without him. Not to mention that we're starting to find our own import players more often as our scouting database continues to improve. I wonder if the Bombers knew about this when they went hard at Denny?

We have managed to get to the first row (at the rail) of the upper section of the upper deck on the 40ish yard line. Great seats!

That's fair. The "West Side Sucks" thing is just a jab. Though I still think that as a whole there are cultural differences (less so in the new stadium) between the two sides and it becomes a matter of preference. The move to the West side was mostly predicated on the lack of sun and a new son that we could eventually bring to the game. But he's only 15 months old. He has a ways to go before we bring him there, I think...

Oof. Struck a nerve did I? Guess years of chanting will wear on a guy. In all seriousness though, I was turned off at the amount of negativity and whining in our section last year. You have a bunch of jaded long-time fans that for whatever reason still think the players can see the field like a game of Madden. That is not the kind of atmosphere that I find enjoyable. As much as I respect an educated fan, leave the negativity at home please!

Congrats Mike! A coach/man we can be proud of. Hopefully one day he'll be worthy of being inducted as a coach too!

There's been moments where they've mistakenly had the music a little too loud for the situation that has been unpleasant. But overall I'd say no. On a somewhat related note: we had season tickets on the west side last year for the first time in my 12 years of season tickets. It does, indeed, suck. And we'll be moving back. Luckily we got the exact same seats on the east side!

I'm starting to think we will be rotating our Canadians into our linebacking core more often this year. Signing Nevis gives us a run stopping force in the middle of our d-line, and while I expect to see Thomas rotating in quite a bit, I think our base package will have another American DT beside him. Losing Burnett and our roster clearly points to using more Canadians at linebacker. All that said, we always knew we would be rotating our NIs around on defense.

I'm just wondering if the CFL can handle its ADD enough to be able to keep the same rules for 2 consecutive years.

If there were more fancy stats in football, Randle would definitely be in the conversation. Edit: And Leggett would be a no brainer.

I think a lot of people would argue Leggett should be on here.

I think Coombs understands his versatility and how that can lead to being on the field quite a bit. If he ends up being the best NI receiver on our roster, then that's his starting position, backing up at RB for Harris. He's also a Winnipeg boy, which may or may not make being here a plus for him.

He would be a pretty versatile player for us given we start a Canadian RB. It's a lot easier to fit good Canadians on a roster than the international players

Hope we can sign Darvin Adams but if we can't then try for Burnham Ellingson or Jackson. Elimimian would also be a no brainer if he hit the market

After one of the most exciting grey cups in recent memory, the excitement looks to continue this offseason. It should be very interesting to see how the Bombers look to improve and how the rest of the league shapes up.

Weird that we're lining McDuffie up at receiver when he's our primary returner with Fogg out.

Honestly Burnett has really come along as he's had more time starting at his position. I also think Wild is a step above, but Burnett has been great in his own way. Starting to make some impact plays out there.

All of Willy time was garbage time lol.

I seem to recall a couple of bad throws where he should have played better DB on the play that established this reputation. Not sure about dogging it though.
