I don't know, according to Darryl Davis of Saskatchewan, the schedule is flawed. Not sure why the CFL keeps ignoring the wishes of the world's greatest fans.

Dang man, TMI. I mean I'd excited about such a move but not THAT excited.

Put me in the new DC and new MLB camp.

Crowton? LMAO.

If you compare Walter's draft record to every other club over the same time period, he stacks up well. Some misses for certain but so does everybody.

This is a huge signing, pun intended. Really happy we're locking up our OL.

Dude, its the Shelbyville Cousin Kissers.

Oh and on Manny, I was hoping we'd sign him but its clear he's past his prime and overrated.

Nice move by Popp. Hope Franklin signs soon. Happy the Riders lose out.

I love that WR from Central Manitoba College of Manitoba. He's worth a 6th rounder I tell you.

Roslovic with Elhers and Laine.

I would take it.

Marcel to BC? That would be great.

I agree.

I've posted many times about Walters shortcomings in scouting. I'd easily argue Hargreaves was not as good as Coates but both Kolhert and JFG were better. Both have seasons that surpass Hargreaves best year of 290 yards receiving. If you notice I mentioned the receivers between 2003 and mid 2006 which is after Simon, Albert Johnson and Bruce were gone and we lacked guys to play with Milt. No question it got better after Taman won a bidding war to get Armstrong after his return from the NFL and then landed Edwards the following year. My point was that between scouting and bringing in Bruce in 2001, it was 2008 and Romby before he found another guy. Go back and read the papers and you'll find plenty of people mentioning Taman's weaknesses in scouting and disregard for Canadian talent. Did he have some good seasons? Sure. Did he have some bad ones? Yep. Did he leave us some real weaknesses which Kelly compounded? Absolutely.

Armstrong and Edwards were free agents. He found Johnson/Simon and Bruce between 99 and 2001 and then never scouted and brought in a quality receiver until he found Bryant in 08. So we had issues at receiver outside of Milt from 03 until he landed Armstrong as a free agent mid way through 06. My point being receiver was an issue. Walls was a DE not a DT. Haywood wasn't that good. My point was that Taman struggled to find a guy to go with Brown for years. Hargs was mediocre and the reality was that our Canadian talent was an issue the entire time Taman was here, in part because as Booch says he traded our picks away and had no contacts as a scout. Reality is that he has 1 ring for a team he didn't build.

Neil McKinley as a starting MLB. Geoff Drover and Marcus Howell converted from WR to DB. You really want to argue that he did a good job with NI talent. Went from 2001 Bruce to 2008 Romby without finding an import WR. Struggled for years to find a book end DT to go with Brown. Never found a QB. Fact is Taman was an average to below average GM.

In the spirit of Festivus, if changes aren't made, the Bomber Brain trust is going to hear about it.

It was reported in the media that Taman backloaded many deals with the Bombers in 2008 which led to cap issues in 2009. Same thing with the Riders in 2014.

Not signing Sam Hurl because he is a prime greivence for many of us.

We started 3 CFL all stars in the secondary, a SAM LB who is among the league's best, a DE who is among the top CFL pass rushers and a rookie DE who had a fantastic first year and we still gave up a ton of yards and way too many explosion plays. How long do we keep absolving Hall?

I am hoping for Randle and Bryant signings for Christmas. Oh and Heath for Hanakah.

Perhaps they've had a rotation because the scheme doesn't work and the DC can't adjust and coach up players.

Hall has been DC for three years and the D has been an issue for three years. When do we realize its him and make a change?

Here's to Walters losing Sam Hurl's phone number.
