For this year

Wow......nothing like jumping the gun.

why don't we just see how he does in Calgary first. Behind the oline in Sask he should do fine. And if he does you won't hear the end of the "see this is why we should have signed him" yet we will never truly know how he would have looked in blue and gold and based on all the reasons above I'm glad we won't

I agree with TLB that Messam at one point was of value to the Bombers. His value however was in the offseason when the Bombers only had Ford (who was testing FA) and Volny. Problem is Montreal didn't release him until June 15th at which point we had Cotton and Grigsby to test out. They could have tried a trade with Montreal in the offseason but now you are giving up something of value in excahange for a guy that may or may not work out and doesn't play ST. Since Grigsby is playing lights out right now and he's not even our starter I think they feel pretty safe at that position. If Grigsby and Cotton were both duds and we were banking on an injured Ford and just Volny then Messam would be in the cards for Walters. They have already shown that even after a win they are still on the hunt to improve this team.

So sign a guy and pay him more then you would pay any other RB on your team, have him play only on the Offense (which right now is working quite effectively) take away a roster spot somewhere else so you can bring in another ST guys and in the end not have enough money to sign a Canadian in a position that you actually need filled..... I see where you are going with this. If this was a Canadian Olinemen or even a Dlinemen that is of actual value right now i'd be all over it. But we really don't need a one dimension canadian back right now. Hell Volny can do both jobs and is cheaper and younger, Both Cal and Sask actually need a RB immediately to fill a void and it's the only reason they are looking at him. There is a reason no other team touched him until now.

Funny how Rider fans made all sorts of fun for signing Kevin Smith but this is a great move for the Riders because it's low risk high reward.....Kevin Smith was low risk high reward as well yet apparently it was the dumbest thing the Bombers have ever done. The only thing Messam has going for him right now is a passport. Oh well see where this takes him/them.

Calgary needs depth at RB because Cornish is probably still feeling woozy. Riders didn't find the replacement to Kory Sheets in the offseason. Has nothing to do with who was looking at him. I am quite satisfied with the Bomber depth at RB. Our third stringer is leading the league right now in TDs and rushing yards!

They need to broadcast another game. There are no other games on Thursday the 31st. They could do the Friday or sat games I guess.

So something else just came up regarding THF not being ready on time. ESPN is broadcasting the Wpg and Ticats game on July 31st. Thats going to be a huge game for the league! What are they going to do broadcast from Guelph with 5000 ppl?!? They need to move this game to wpg or something! http://www.cfl.ca/article/espn-cfl-reach-multi-year-us-broadcast-deal

Ticats brass will have to do some major damage control after this. Delayed openings now looking like mid to late august and if they lose anymore games they may not even have fans this season.....Not good for the league!

And looks like he is doing it standing still.... Next I want to see him do it with feet together, on his knees or on one foot!

Going to play it Silly and go with Marve!

And just like that the Cats will have to move their first two home games. I called this a month ago. Sucks for the fans! Wonder what the plan will be? Sounds like Back to Guelph they go. Wonder if they could just switch home games with the teams they play. Ie play Winnipeg in Winnipeg in July and then play in Hamilton in sept or when ever the game is.

Sick! What's that from the 55?

Someone needs to remind me how we got Randle and the shrewedness of it

Pierce had 706 yards by game 3 last season and the team had 8 touchdowns by game 3. We didn't start out all that bad. Once we lost Pierce though it all went to hell

Or 0-6, or 1-7. Nobody comes back from that. Everybody knows it. Especially Wally. Just wondering Nate but if Braley won't tolerate firing a HC with mult years left on his contract, then what is in it then for Wally to step into? He signed Benevides so he totally effed up. It's on Wally. Everyone know Wally is the greatest CFL mind in history. There is no way he screwed anything up. (Sarcasm off)

Gene is one of the greatest QB coaches the nfl ever saw. There is no doubt he has helped guide DW. And as everyone else said Buck is the RB coach up int the box.

This is true! Where can we go vote just in case we need to stuff the ballot box?!?

Yup. When I said trade a RB I was thinking Ford should go first.

Arsenio Hall approves of this message.

After two weeks Grigsby is leading the league in rushing and rushing TDs and has zero fumbles (well none that I can remember) not bad for our third string back. Yes the blocking is less than desirable so If/when Cotton is healthy id like to see them get used as a tandem back or try to trade one of them for depth in other areas.

Guess your sarcasm meter is turned off....It's a joke... My real predictions would be Cal Wpg Edm To Sask Mont Ott Ham Bc

Well Calgary didn't play so obviously they stay at one. Sask lost to the "4th" best team but did manage more then 10pts so they should only drop to 3. TO with a dominating win and the centre of the universe moves to second. Ham held its own but did lose to the 7th best team so they drop to 4. BC and ALS switch places and are 5/6. Edm with a squeaker stays unchanged. Ottawa barley loses to the 8th best team but deserves to move up.....Winnipeg had one less yard passing and didn't break the 40 mark so they plummet to the basement. Should look like this. Cal To Sask ALS BC Edm Ott Wpg

Bahaha. Don't think you have much to worry about . Apparently not. Bombers tied for first in the ........WEST after two weeks? Who saw that coming! Better yet who woulda guessed it was both us and E-Town? I've said it a few times now. This is looking a lot like 2011. We went 4-14 in 2010. Started off 0-2 in the preseason. Went 2-0 then lost by one to Calgary. Went on a bit of a tear and ended up in the GC in BC! Edmonton started 5-0 and lost their first game to us.... Also there was flooding in Brandon in 2011. Could history repeat? Except hopefully we play hammy in the GC
