Yeah but are you going to hire a new head coach based on an ultimatum that he keeps the current ST Coordinator? I can't see any head coach not wanting to keep a guy on staff who is that highly regarded around the league as a special teams coordinator. That's would be a pretty careless way to think if you were the GM don't you think? I think you misunderstand, I'm not suggest the Bombers dictate who stays on as assistants, I'm suggesting that any head coach would opt to keep Dickenson on staff because he's that well regarded. That would be a stretch IMO. It would all depend on who we hire. This is a silly game, Craig Dickenson is considered the best STC by just about everyone.

If Pencer goes to tackle and gets hurt half way through, then who backs him up? I don't know, just asking the question. I do agree that I'd like to see him at tackle. I think if Swiston hadn't gotten hurt we'd have seen at least one of them starting this week at tackle, something I've wanted to see all year. Would much rather see Knapp backing up and with a plan to juggle the ratio if Pencer got hurt... Using an import tackle as a DI?

Ahh revisionist history. Burke was tapped as HC, because he was the most highly touted "next CFL HC" around the league. People were TERRIFIED we were going to lose him if we didn't promote him. Aside from Burke being a successful coordinatior and Daly being a marginal one, the situations of Daly and Burke are very similar in my opinion... At least we had a QB in 2005.

Labbe only plays when guys are hurt - he does not come in on our 2nd and long package... not that I've seen - I did miss a few games this year though. Even when Labbe is in, we just send him almost as a fifth DL because there is no faith that he can cover the pass. I think your assessment that we will have more NIs on the field than necessary is completely wrong... but we will see. I really believe this is more a matter of either Labbe in OR we play a Dimeback... or Thomas. If we actually design plays where we sit our best players for NIs, well that's just crazy. Probably a moot point anyway, we'll be running around so much that someone on D will get hurt in the 1st half and we'll juggle everything. He used to up to the end of last year but I can't recall it happening very often this season.

I like taking the flier on Bilukidi when he did .. middle round seems appropriate .. especially when you have a full complement of draft picks. Mulumba on the other hand was a reach we couldn't afford to take .. hindsight being what it is, it would have been nice if Mack had listened to Walters and taken Edem with that pick. He was considered highly unlikely to make the Packers. It was actually a pretty good pick at the time.

Yeah he probably wanted us to draft Mitchell instead of Muamba...

Watson just can't stay healthy, I wonder which two of Etienne/Kohlert/Foster start at receiver? You know we have a bad team when it seems like we actually need Cauchy Muamba in the lineup, but on the positive side at least Boatmen is out.

Its such a shame that Charlie, Milt, Brown, Khari, and Robert Gordon never got rings here.

DeMarco probably starts this week but I bet Buck will be the starter by this time next week.

max hall moved the ball, only got picked once in last game... right there, good as or better than.. and honestly,.if wally buano, aka qb guru, says "hes not worth it or.good enough.." how can you argue it? he has easily forgot more about qb play in the cfl then you (or 17to85) will ever know.. move on ya redundant turkeys Max Hall is garbage, if he got released today he would never play another down in the CFL. Seriously, Cleo Lemon was better.

I guess we should've kept Chris Garrett around.

I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of Collaros and his ability to win games as our starting Quarterback...

So did I actually, Thomas fought hard out there.Whats with all the Max Hall love? He wasn't any better than Goltz. Burke is the one who said he expected Goltz & Hall to be better than Elliot and Brink this year. Well it looks that couldn't be any less true.

He was infinitely better than Boatman.

Unless Tillman becomes the GM in Calgary and agrees to give us BLM not a freaking chance.

I'm waiting for the article explaining how Mack was responsible for Dinwiddie starting the 2007 Grey Cup.

I've noticed the people complaining about the loss of Bowman and basically saying Mack was crazy for suggesting he was going to miss half the season are gone... Does Calgary have a fourth Quarterback? Why are they dressing TWO injured Quarterbacks? Do they really want to play Sinapoli? Theres no way Tate lasts more than a Quarter if hes forced to play anytime soon.

We also can't forget the comment Burke made about wanting to cut Dan West but not having a replacement. I don't disagree with his statement, but its pretty hypocritical coming from him.

If thats the case they got exactly what they deserved. They = ??? Sorry, the ''victim(s)?''.

Go Okanagan Sun go!!! Theo Deezar future BC Lions starting Quarterback.

If thats the case they got exactly what they deserved.

Not that I'm against being optimistic, but really which one of those guys do you even see on the roster next year?

I never want to see Boatman play another down again. We might as well as give Pencer a shot at this point.

If Foster is going to draw into the starting line up, who sits? Etienne or Kohlert? I like them both and don't think either one should be on the bench. If we can lock up Foster, Etienne and Kohlert in the off season(aren't they all due to become free agents?) I could see us moving Cory Watson.

however Durant did also get sacked 8 times... Perhaps you're guilty of remembering the times Durant was able to get away and for Goltz you're more focussed on the times he was caught. But Durant was back to pass a hell of a lot more. Goltz got sacked 7 times on 15 pass attempts, thats horrific.
