Rant detracted/.

No mistake at all Mike. The reference to him being a RB coach was one perpetuated by a paper at his alma mater. I attended practices through all those years, and I can tell you sure as **** he was NOT the RB coach. I will believe what I saw with my own eyes thank you very much...not what's printed by 3rd year journalism students a thousand miles away. Perhaps you should look at the Bombers official press release on his hiring as well. The Gryphon (Guelph's college newspaper) floated a rumor before he was hired that he would be joining the Bombers as STC/RB coach....a mistake they never bothered to correct after he was hired as STC only. However, if you have a link to any official Bomber source indicating he was RB coach, please share and I will gladly retract.

He was never a RB coach. Not sure where you have gotten that information, but the BB official website, along with his bios at several other CFL sites including CFL.ca list him as STC for those years. Further to that, all his prior coaching history was on the defensive side of the ball and STs. Therefore, if you cannot admit your mistake please provide a link to a source confirming that he was RB coach.

Here, here!! Last thing we need is any of this mamby pamby being a professional and earning the respect of the locker room. It angers the fans and media who need to know stuff. Signed, TBurgess

No he didn't.

That's code for the NFL is not working out and the RIders look like they are going to suck this year so I will stick around home and farm instead. Maybe next year....

If a GM came along that had a foolproof method of win one cup, rebuild for two years then have your next cup within the next two, and could repeat that ad nauseum I would give him a lifetime contract.

Yea...me too. Denmark is a pretty consistent 800-1000 yard guy but he is not an upper echelon receiving talent in this league.

No offense to Jamie Nye....well I guess it's hard to say that and then follow with this but....that's the stupidest crap I've ever heard. I like Turner and think he's a baller, but top 3 or 4 DL in the league? That boy does not have a hot clue.

Yea...it's either HB or SAM imo. From what I've read he's really good in run support and is a Johnny Sears type DB. Good piece of recruiting, whether he makes the team or not. He's the type of player we should be looking at.

Are you new here? Did you miss the hundreds of posts that dump on our own scouting department? However since this is a thread dedicated to moves around the CFL, it stands to reason, that this would be the logical place to dump on another team when they make what looks to be a possible mistake in their scouting department.

It all depends what the extent of his work will be. He could be a very valuable asset if they give him a workload suitable for a 75 year old man. However, it is not reasonable to think that he can keep up with the Murphy's and JP Jones of the CFL at his age though. His eye for talent may still be there but I would be extremely skeptical of his ability to travel and work the long days required of a full time talent scout.

Randle is one of the best in the CFL. It's great we locked him down.

If the price is right we should jump on that. Walter is a legit backup to Harris.

I would bet a beer token that Henoc doesn't sign anywhere soon unless it's a whopper of a contract offer.

Well if some Riderfans can predict a 12 win season for their team with that roster I gotta revise my pick to 16-2 because our team looks a lot better than theirs.

Hence the interceptions.

Bad example. Elliott would have thrown long on every play if given Carte blanche to do so. In fact his penchant for going off script and doing it anyway resulting in 5 interception games ended his career.

That picture is a couple years old of a Lion fan doing this. Laplace just pointing out that the picture seems a lot more appropriate now.

Sure sounds like they had to deal someone that's for sure. Martin would have been the logical choice if they got Laurent.

Jesus would cover them. A faith based approach to defence.

I have no trouble at all with bringing him in if the Als choose to release him or would take next to nothing in trade. We could make the cap adjustments but I would not give up anything of value to trade for that contract.

I, for one, am glad we didn't go after Watman. I have seen way too much unrealized potential for one lifetime on the Bombers. Watman may turn into something yet, but last year he was an absolute pylon who got beasted every game he played in. Big reason why the Riders had such terrible sack numbers last year.

I would be pissed if we traded for Henoc now. Last year was the time to show him the benjamins. He will cost multiple draft picks to whoever trades for him. Salary + draft picks make him far too expensive a purchase.

What Harris will help with most of all is finally providing us with someone that the opposing defence has to game plan against. He isn't the best runner in the CFL, he isn't the best receiver, but put them together and he becomes one of the most dangerous players to play against. When defences have to focus on shutting down one guy it keeps them from calling the shots and dictating the game plan. Just his presence on the field eliminates a lot of the blitz. He is what we needed, an outlet for Willy when under pressure and a player that will help our offence dictate on the field versus reacting. I think people are going to see vast improvement in our sacks against numbers and are going to be celebrating how Lapo and Wylie turned the OL around. Just remember that a big part of that was the signing of Harris.
