Noel Thorpe is an all-in guy... we need to hit some screens/dump passes early - then if Willy can hit Kelly or Moore deep by the second quarter, we should be in pretty good shape. That being said, I'm expecting LH wins the game for us. And a Teague Sherman interception...

Interesting... I was just looking at the depth chart and thinking, man, they sure aren't what they used to be... They still have a pretty good D but I do think our OL can handle their DL. Final analysis: If Willy can handle Cox, we'll have this one in the bag.

BPA is such a copout answer... every team has a different 'best player available' - and that assessment reflects their own needs, depth, scouting, etc... Goossen was #2 for bombers but probably not second best talent if Riders or Toronto had the pick...

We will trade Kane at the deadline this season and get A LOT for him... first round pick, prospect and more.

Awesome fifth round pick.

Looks deep at OL this year... aside from our desperate OL situation this year, I would stay away from OL in the first round - positions like REC, LB, DB drop off in talent a lot quicker than the oline

I'm rubber and you're glue.

Since we'll be picking 7th or 8th overall, time to start looking at prospects... Dunk's early prospects - http://www.cfl.ca/article/dunk-top-10-prospects-to-watch-for-in-2015-draft Demski, Ackle and Beard look like guys to watch

I'd still take him over Volny...

Stunning.

We will never be a playoff team as long as Kane is here.

Sounds like Sherman is going to get some major playing time - not sure why we are sitting Sears instead of Dunn but whatever...

Well, its better than being traded to Hamilton then...

Dan Federkeil looks like he's coming off the IR list - if Walters is trading, I would love to see the bombers pick him up. 30 years old is prime for an OL and he's an RT... would have to give up a 2nd rounder and maybe a prospect or ST but worth it If we are not trading, I don't see room for Peach to be activated on Calgary's roster...

CFL teams go to **** when their starting QB is hurt... gotta protect those guys even if its unfair.

Pretty sure if your job is pretty much 'covering the CFL' and talking to CFL insiders, you gain a fair bit of understanding. Winnipeg fans are too touchy about the media... most of the points made about Kelly and Mack were valid - it was just unfortunate that most of what they did had a negative effect. If anything, Winnipeg media are too easy on the bombers - I mean the fluff questions at the last OShea conference were almost comical. The media treated Burke with kid gloves too... these guys want a winning team as much as anyone.

Burke now has his aging CB that he can rotate to every position in the back 8 and eventually throw under the bus...

Interesting, I didn't know you could do that.

Valuing him higher than Durie or Walker based on two games is a bit much...

Pick for Stoudemire...

I'm very much agree with this. Regarding the protection for the QB, I suggest to add an additional Nat'l OL on the gameday lineup. That could probably gave us the proper contingency in case an OL goes down during the game instead of dressing Thomas as an extra OL. It will also enable us to utilise Knapp as TE in some snaps. we could take off one of the National 'MLB' as a trade off. Did Thomas change his jersey mid-game, like after the Greaves injury? If not, I wonder if something was up with Greaves heading into the game

Montreal's D gets underestimated a bit - Thorpe is a good DC but actually a bit aggressive/all or nothing like Etch Same deal as usual - need to get to Whitaker early and help out Bucknor vs Chad Johnson Good challenge for the coaches to keep this team from taking Montreal lightly. Still, Burris avoided 2-3 sacks last game just by willpower alone and threaded some long passes to save drives - Troy Smith is not Burris.

Loved the Sherman signing when Mack picked him up but never thought him and Thomas would emerge so quickly. Nice move.

Yes but a lot of people on here don't seem to understand that. It does happen but is extremely rare. The gentleman's agreement is pretty much on draft picks and calling the other team before you raid them. For the most part, team's are fine with their own roster/PR guys... so it doesn't happen that much. If you really like a prospect, you hide him on the IR. Get Peach. All the Stamps have to do is add him to their roster and he's no longer available, if Bombers try to sign him. I wouldn't be surprised if Walters already called Huff to inquire on Peach. I don't think activating someone is quite as easy as that... you have to add someone to your PR which I believe means releasing them and then adding them to PR - not sure though. I think a more likely scenario is that Goossen gets the start at RG and Swiston becomes our 6th OL - also wouldn't be surprised if Hinse makes a miraculous recovery... Now that I think of it, I might wait a couple games before making a move for Peach.
