I as well like the makeup of roster, and truly don't see us missing a beat. Harris was basically a part timer last year, and we did just fine, he had a big game against Sask in playoffs, but at his age, and declining durability those kinda games are going to be more the exception, than the norm....Our oline, returning players on offence and continuity from coaches down won't allow us to falter. Lawler was a stud, but also a 1 yr flash so far, Ellingson will more than replace what he brought (dude has a highlight reel of unreal catches too in case anyone forgot) and is familiar and has history with Zach, and I bet will be more consistent game in and game out....Bailey and Demski will keep developing and be better and this crop of new guys, along with Grant being back is a group that has me more intrigued/excited than any yr in a long time. Prukopp be no means a proven veteran, but he has shown he can move a offence, has experience, and I can see being a better fit in what we do here, moreso than McGuire did....tho loved McGuires arm and poise, but that wasnt a pre-requisite of what we do here, so I think that why he kinda just flamed out. Defensively, I think we again be just fine...Full yr of Wilson/Biggie/Maston already has us ahead of the ball even with Stove missing, but Sayles I see as a breakout star this year, and finding a gap filling DT to rotate in for 30% snaps isnt a tough thing to do...the loss that stings most is Kongbo and the rotation aspect we can do with him, and if he finally just commits to CFL he can be a beast, and ratio plus...I dont see him sticking down south, and if/when he is released, I bet this is where he comes back to....BA will be a loss till he back, but we have guys on roster now that seem to be a fit, maybe we tweak ratio a bit and go canadian there till he back, but with Rose, Taylor, Nichols and Glass here...all proven starters, and guys like Houston, and Miller back, both with full yr in our system, and some starts, and again...another strong solid group being brought in to compete...we ahead of where we were already from last year...and Free Agency/Draft hasnt even happened And when I look at a defense with the Jeff's...Biggie...Wilson...Rose, Maston and Nichols running around out there, I'm not to concerned with whom we surround them with...especially when it woill be guys like Sayles, Taylor, Thomas, Glass and whoever wins a spot...we hitting ground running for sure this yr

Just setting himself up for more implosion and drama ..guy does not have the tool set to be a leader and top teir QB nor does he have the tool box upstairs either...or the mindset and mental toughness....when going gets tough on and off the field ..he has cracks all over....and to be honest is a lil whiny sissy about it

Hansen was a very effective special teamer as well as rotational piece on the defense...if there was an injury issue in game he'd be more than adequate replacement seeing more reps. He also had more value than some first and second year Canadians and should be making more ..and I would go even as far as saying he prob has better contribution as a whole than guys like Gauthier and Briggs too...don't get me wrong both are great players for their role and can start in a pinch and take rotation snaps...but Hansen does exactly what they do ..plus has more impact when on defense. Too bad he is stuck in that salary pergatory and really should be rewarded as a Global if he can make more...and teams he groom and develop a guy to that point should be as well

Nice to read tho that this year they want to get Grant more involved in the offence...couid be a dangerous guy getting the ball in his hands in the open field

Yeah he was my coach and g.m for a yr of junior hockey actually...he always said I suited grass more than ice haha

Agudosi as well....was kept around all yr and brought back for a reason...if the hashes are moved and while field is being used who wouldn't want a big strong 6'6" guy out on the outside?

Riders are only really "elite" in their fanbase opinion...and a few media hacks...no real sizzle to.that steak there...

I like the looks of our recieving core more than last yr to be honest...especially with some of the guys we brought in new..Jackson being back and now Saunders...if he fully back to what he was..that's huge...and now with Grant...who I hope we mix in a bit more now in his 3rd yr here...we are looking good behind that online...and the 1-2 combo of BO and JA...easily will get us 1200 yards minimum combined in the ground game...Buck's second yr owning the offence too us gonna loom large too...I see us putting up league leading scoring numbers....and we know the defense will be top 1 or 2 in league giving up points ...3 peat totally in our grasp if we dont get nailed with multiple "key" injuries...I say key as we have great depth for most part...which was proven last yr...but we didn't lose vital guys for extended time...that of course will hurt any team...but we know we have the backups for the most part to carry us through...

Has Hansen signed...or still considering life after football...cause he training like he looks like he's still playing

Some truly great players have worn that W...and great alltime league wise...not just Bombers

Even without the recent signings...we weren't gonna miss Lawler....or Harris for that matter...miss seeing them and that familiarity...but production wise...good bet we will be more prolific as a whole this yr

yeah...will make the whole field playable and actually cause teams to account for it now...I'd like to see that and actually have always wondered why they were set they way they were

makes u laugh eh?...considering how good our line is....works for me tho

Bell got the penalty Taman being one...he didn't want to invite him to camp

I expect him back to be honest

yea Bailey needs to keep being Bailey.....he doesnt need to be a Lawler.....Bailey is gonna be a quicker more elusive version of vintage Nik Lewis....but he can be involved in the run game....Breakout star this yr league wide...just watch

yup....that and CFL cuts, or guys who couldn't even make a PR up here....

yup...its more true than not....they need their fill of recognizeable and mainstream ball....follow the masses, and upstart leagues....regardless of what they are classified as don't feed the need other than that of the fans of former college stars who get that final stab at ball, where they aren't ever gonna make an NFL or CFL roster..always has been that way and always will...the one real chance they has to succeed was the original USFL....BUT...Donald Trump ruined it for them, and no league will ever get back to the point of their almost making it

the NFL already has a league which develops and finds players they miss...that they don't have to put money into, or any real thought other than scout..its called the CFL and hads been this way for decades...

It's a good thing we in a position where we aren't desperate for all our picks to pan out...I'm not too worried about that league to be honest...gonna have minimal if any effect in the CFL...the good players will still all be in NFL and CFL...

yup.....thats actually a key thing...we dont have an albatross contract anywhere on our roster preventing us to go after something if it comes up...if anything...we have several well below market, and some below what some lesser players are pulling in else where...we in a good spot, and I fully expect another Walter's out of thin air signings before March ends

yeah...if he sticks to just the pbp and maybe toss some of that stuff into post game, or as a point of interest segment during the week that be fine by me

Hopefully that is true, and he be a good mentor for Leggs and Mourtada, as I would assume they keep them both...Be curious if they try Castillo doing all the kicking as he can punt, and allow us to get another positional player on the roster yup...I think Walters factors "possible" monies into his cap tight ledger...which is smart to be honest....because history shows...he always has something there for a nice score, and if nothing falls in his lap, always has ..or had when there was no bonus cap money to re-up guys with a bonus to go toward current yr, and not affect the following sms as much

Love Browns tweet!

I think we still have probably 150-185k sitting there unused for what was offered to Lawler...I think that Adams was not in plans from get go, so bulk of Ellingson money came from what Adams made....Walters is doing his usual we tight to cap spin, but sitting on money for that out of nowhere signing (Bryant Mitchell....Tristan Opaloga) and if they don't find a guy they want...then theres money later in yr for a Kongbo return, or some other NFL cut who is free, and who wouldnt want to come to the Bombers with a realistic chance for a cup, or at the least a deep playoff run
