Booch

yeah he wants to maximize his dollars for sure...and if he is actually going to places to see the organization..direction..philosophies..services etc..etc..then good on him...but if it just to in effect try and use it as a ploy to squeeze each team then no need for the guy. He has to remember this is the CFL and is a league more or less restricted to what they do...for the better of the league and a top shelf deal is pretty much on par across the board unless one team does something absurd...which will make them a weaker team most times with shaving elsewhere...so crap or get off the pot already He has been to all stadiums in the league..knows the facilities and any fool can see which way the organizations he is considering are trending..and how they are viewed in the league

yet when he was here he was a liablity and sub standard and the Bombers were laughed at about it...too funny

pretty much sums it up

yeah pretty much seems that way...all started from a comment on their d-line best in the cfl thread...and i said for the money they paying they better be....then all the venom came out hahahah

yeah that was it...and like you said..pretty tame compared to most insults thrown around there...actual comment was "are you mad because your mom made you take up your dirty dishes from the basement?" so yeah..obviously over sensitive there ..still entertaining tho

I never doubted it personally

Yeah...pretty much went there for intermittent value more than any ting...I truley think most there are pre-pubescent and pubescent teens posting there...and the rest of the majority un-educated life long saskatchewan residents..and 2 percent decent knowledgeable fans

nah...that window is closed...he is cfl..or nothing now

me too...and I would take Thorpe over Holley...

wonder if he will pout and ask to be let off their practice roster too..

Yup.. if wasn't for the bonus I bet his ass would been released and nobody would have picked him up

Well Hebert signing in Ott increases odds of a woods or Reed...possibly Muamba..most likely takes them out of the import linebacker position at least

Ol Kavis claiming they didn't over pay for any player..and all players had market value Well considering Westerman signed for 40k more than the next closest...isn't that over paying?...should they not have just matched...or been "slightly" over

OR a good indication that he isn't as good/valuable as a lot of poster here kept professing...I never thought he was and was here mainly because we didn't have anyone better

oh my...another conspiracy against the Riders...Im sure Riderfan's is all up in arms

I think this is going to be for a salary shift...and if we don't land Muamba..well then we have 3 import DE's to rotate who all have experience and are all very good

Signed Craig Roh...not understanding that move...good player and all but why? Possibly moving Opo....to make room for Muamba??

YES HE DID

Yeah saying an offensive guard was the sole reason we started to play well is way off base...Sure he was good and dominant...but last year he wasn't as good or dominant and when he went out...did you really notice?...nope The key..as was said above was the QB switch...which made the "whole" offense better...The line didn't have to block as long...receivers were able to get the ball sooner and when they were actually in the right place to make the play successful...and that allowed us to actually utilize Harris more effectively.....if anything the turn around was pretty much all on Nichols Bond was good...is good...but his loss won't make our offence all of a sudden ineffective..and if his absence allows us to play a Canadian there...and replace one of or both of Hurl..Thomas as starters on defense we are better for it...Even with Westermans departure because if you look at games..stats...the d-line grades and pressures...our D-line improved in all areas after he got hurt...food for thought

as it sits they have lost so far 3 on dline (steele..Leanard..Mraubre) and added one...pricey Evans O-line added Bond...lost Dennis..looking like Campbell...hardly beefing up

Neufeld would never be cut...traded but not cut. Also Foketti is more than ready and could start on any team in the CFL...Could have last year actually...how we have been able to keep him here this long is baffling..He must really like it and has to be a tip of the hat to the culture/locker room here And truthfully...we don't really have to cut any of the salary until the season starts...so sign him...let all the pieces battle it out for spots in TC...then decide what and where you can slash and either trade...offer a pr spot at a cap friendly amount....and if all else fails then release

Walter's fault of course...all his press leaks and insider info brought the Great Jonsie down

i agree....but those would be options

I would think so...we have adequate national back-ups..Fenner..Leggett..Fogg have SAM covered...and I think Jones is really gonna impress and take Knox's spot...so odd man out be Wild...possibly Flanders and we use Baumen in his spot

yeah...his agent's advice is not doing him any longterm favors...time to re-think their strategy
