  1. Andrew Harris basically said the same in his recent interview, gave up strength and conditioning later in his career and focused more on yoga, movement and flexibility, same thing with George St. Pierre, gymnastics and water workouts replaced weight lifting.
  2. O-line has been getting progressively worse since 2021, maybe time to switch up the ratio and play another import beside Stan like they did with Travis Bond back in 2016. That move got the ball rolling in the right direction.
  3. Zach rarely plays great in big games when the score is close, I suspect he doesn't handle stress all that well, he may be too hotwired and competitive to be able to relax and think clearly. In games like LDC and BB were the results don't usually matter one way or the other, he has fun soaking it all up and plays relaxed, but in playoffs when the pressure is turned up he tightens up like a steel drum and is unable to create any flow.
  4. If it wasn't for the on-field advice of Harris plus Cory Mace giving him a shot after the Argos cut him, I think Oullette would have washed out of the league before last season began, as is he's currently circling the drain in Sask.
  5. Noticed Durant has gone back to milking his Rider roots, guesting on The Sports Cage semi-regularly, guess he's found that one place in the wide wide world that will pay him some attention.
  6. Could be so, but Schoen was the CFL's top receiver in his rookie season and probably would have repeated in his second season if not for injury. Lawler has yet to match those accomplishments after 5 seasons in the league. If nothing else Schoen has proven he's extremely efficient and focused on accomplishing his goals.
  7. Interview with Dillon Mitchell, interesting fact he scored 42 TD's in his senior year in high school in about 15 games, and that doesn't include the 15 he had called back due to penalties on the play. It Might be counterintuitive for Lawler to recommend bringing him in when his own job could be in jeopardy, but they did play together with the Elks in 2022.
  8. He won't take his job back from Jones either when he returns, if nobody picks him up it give both sides time to determine if he has a future in the organization. If not would he even stay in Wpg? I think not.
  9. Parker and Bond are both corners, no need to put a rookie in the secondary.
  10. When check downs put the ball in the hands of Andrew Harris every second play and you have Medlock kicking FG's from midfield in with accuracy, you're in a good place.
  11. Big year for Kelly, he needs to step it up. Can he become a starting Safety or is he destined to be a career ST and backup? Ratio flexibility in the secondary is always a bonus.
  12. I figure a roomful of pro football staff who's livelihoods depend on the decisions they make know more about Jake's value to the team than the entire Internet combined. The Bomber organization has earned the respect and the record to field the team they choose to, keeping in mind, it's hard to be perfect.
  13. I think it's been proven maintaining a solid Natl. talent base is one of the keys to winning long-term in the CFL. Good Canadian players are harder to find than good Imports, so teams tend to stockpile and hold onto them as long as they can. Keeping the bare min. around could risk having to start a seriously inferior football player if a couple of the better Natls. go down with injury.
  14. Not anymore, Ed Hervey goes on for over 6 minutes explaining why he will not pay Eugene Lewis $300,000 plus. Other than Gittens Jr. and Tevin Jones, the Elks don't have a great stockpile of experienced receivers, fair to assume they will be going after a few in FA.
  15. You think they're winning in 2019 and 2021 with Kevin Glenn? Highly unlikely but I guess anything is possible.
  16. Imagine, Walters brings Glenn back and Collaros never signs and the streak is still alive! Ok, I knew he was close to nothing.
  17. It seems everything after his stint in Calgary was down hill for Glenn, remember his second stop with the Bombers when he didn't take a single snap?
  18. At this point in his career MBT is far more effective than Glenn was later in his career. Glenn bounced around alot but was not very good at winning games, he always came up short.
  19. Easy to go through the All-CFL team and say, "I want him, him and him", harder to make room in the budget to do so.
  20. Just in time to ****** the OC job with the Bombers at a 747% discount! FFS s n a t c h is a dirty word??? I forget....but maybe it is!
  21. Basic math, paying for the second highest paid QB in the league and keeping a room full of vets. that have won twice in 3 years content. Kyle Walters knows their pain.
  22. Nothing wrong with a lunchbox MLB, much better to stay at home and take care of business than fail attempting to cover receivers 40 yards downfield, let the DB's handle that ****. Biggie was a weird variant who tried to do everything to make up for his lack of real size and Richie gave him the freedom to do whatever he thought he could do. It's pretty unrealistic to expect the next guy up to follow his footprints, keep it simple and do your job, hopefully everyone else does the same.
  23. Obviously they both still want to play football, Gauthier has been a Bomber since 2016 and Wilson since 2017, they've paid their dues with the team and deserve to be treated with respect, as does Jake and Biggie. Both have diminishing roles on the team but can still contribute effectively as gap fillers when needed. Ayers is already under contract and looks to be the heir apparent to Wilson, limiting Wilson's reps. rotating with Ayers may be the strategy needed to preserve his health, and if the inevitable injuries happen again, Ayers just takes over WIL with help from Cole.
  24. Jones set it, unfortunately Walters is the only GM that followed his lead and tried to keep up. 225k should be established as the max for receivers, $150k for RB's. Woli is still under contract.
  25. Not sure where people are seeing Mitchell as a dynamic returner, I don't recall him being all that great and his stats. are not significantly different than Whitehead's. Plus he doesn't appear to be a player they use to run the ball on sweeps.
