For sure that is frustrating. I just hope that BO either booms or busts in the NFL so that we get to see him play one way or another.

Castillo is also a pretty good punter that we haven't even tried. Sheahan might be a roster thing to have that 2nd global.

And Houston is better that Parker, who also busted numerous coverages. However, we have seen good games by all of them. Just not in the Grey Cup. 160k to 170k sounds about right.

I agree. Castillo is an excellent K. Yep, almost no chance we are moving on from him.

That is a possibility, but so is Kevin Glenn/Stefan Lefors a possibility too. I think it would be wholly irresponsible to just toss out a Collaros and move onto Brown. Could be a fatal move to our competitiveness. Collaros gives us a couple more years of great QBing that is money in the bank. We don't know with certainty what Brown would give us.

No Walters was doing it. He just wasn't given the full resources to do it right. It was kind of half arsed and that is why we ended up with busts such as Mulumba and Bilikudi that never ever intended to really play up here. Very talented guys, but no due diligence prior to their selection.

Not buying it. Guys who busted coverages on the last drive were not playing out of position or moved anywhere, They were in their proper positions. They just blew it.

Don't get me wrong, Walters had no in-season CIS scouting ability and we were very hamstrung because of that but he was the guy whispering in Mack's ear regarding the 2011, 2012 drafts. Getting Goveia was massive for us, and Walters being able to scout in-season. That's when our drafts started turning around. Prior to that it was just anyone's best guess really and Walters, although he held a lot of influence over our drafting was really doing so with one hand tied behind his back.

Not true. Kyle Walters was our NAT talent scout even under Mack and Moll. Kyle took on those duties in 2011 according to the Winnipeg Free Press article about it. He was scouting for us prior to his 2012 AGM/DCT appointment but it was limited to the offseason. Walters was very happy when he took on the AGM spot because he could now take on the NAT scouting full time instead of seasonal. That was his exact sentiment in the Free Press. Found this for clarity on his role as Canadian College Draft Coordinator beginning in 2011: Blue Bombers Appoint Kyle Walters as Assistant General Manager and Director of Canadian Scouting - OurSports Central

I agree. Mack was pretty hands off and completely disinterested in the whole NAT concept. He went with the guy recommended to him the strongest I am sure.

Nope, sadly he was not the worst early pick. That would be Faith Ekakitie.

Rose should have been on for Parker anyway. We had numerous busts in coverage throughout the game, hell there was one on the 3rd and 5 made by Parker. Rose was our guy that sorted all that out pre-snap. Benching him in favor of Parker the last few games was a little odd imo. Yep, that's how it goes when you are at the top of the pile.

I agree. Holms will be weighed on his play measurables though. His speed and ability to cut are probably NFL calibre. I could see him getting a shot down there. Totally agree. Of course, I really want BO back, but if not there are some intriguing options out there such as Mills. Mills at much cheaper probably lets us keep Schoen as well so to me it is not the end of the world if Oliveira leaves.

Haven't watched him a whole lot to be honest. Can't honestly say that I have watched the Argos much at all in the past few years. Does that make me an Argo fan?

The Riders worked him out this season I believe. He was quickly released.

Not me. There were some behavioral and locker room issues with Oakman in TO this year.

I realize we play match coverage but you will normally always see the safety taking that coverage beyond 10-15 yards if the play continues vertically. You will almost never see the MIKE with the primary coverage beyond the 10-12 range when it goes vertical. Alexander definitely busted on that.

Losing Buck, and probably replacing him with Lapo (ducks and covers) is going to fundamentally change our offence too. If that happens, of course.

I was not a big fan of passing the ball to anyone. Wanted to see Brady ball right there. It was a poor read, no doubt about. It was also a piss poor play call imo.

I love a healthy Biggie, but he has to be 100% these days. Not because he is a huge detriment if he isn't, but because at this point of his career the guy sitting behind him on the DC is a better player than him if he's not 100. Out of all the guys (Schoen, Bailey, Demski, Hardrick) that were playing injured he was the one that MOS screwed up on.

2019 will forever be hailed by me as the greatest Bomber season I remember well, it will also be hailed as the most bush league GC broadcast of all time. The Keith Urban calling the game fiasco was just embarrassing really. Of course he didn't. A MIKE never does in man coverage. Who else is there really?

If Brady leaves there are a ton of good options for IMP RBs that would probably excel behind our OL. RB is the least of my worries. I love BO but his magical season was greatly enhance by the OL blocking for him, and I would think that there are a ton of FA RBs drooling at the prospect of coming to play behind our OL. Calgary has 3 really good RBs, for instance, can't keep them all.

We have dropped Biggie into coverage in zone, but I can't ever recall a single instance we asked our MLB to cover man against a receiver. It's never done because it is a massive mismatch. I'm not sticking up for Biggie, he looks like he needs to join the coaching staff now. Just saying that if a DC is putting his MIKE....and I don't care who that MIKE is or how old...into a man coverage responsibility it is going to be very bad for that defence. Completely unrealistic to expect a MLB to cover a receiver in man.

I have absolutely no doubt we keep him. Just not as a player.

Sorry for the double post, couldn't type into the first one for some reason. According to the Toronto beat writers Agudosi asked for his release from the Bombers.
