  1. I think you're right about Gray, seems like the kind of guy that wants to play a few years of pro football in front of family and friends before settling down and pursuing his engineering career. He's not like these other draft picks we've been waiting on forever that are strictly chasing the highest dollar and I think Walters knew that when he drafted him.
  2. It seems a bit strange that Bond may be the only Bomber player to leave for a shot at the NFL this year as there are usually a few. I guess they would let Jeffcoat go if he requested but I think most who could, have already taken their shot and have given up. Santos Knox is a bit of anomaly in terms of size and skill, I wouldn't be surprised if he gives the NFL another shot down the road.
  3. I'm guessing he's slated to start next year with Couture backing if Bond is goned.
  4. You have a points.
  5. As much as the Bombers use the stripping method to generate turnovers, I think the league has to take a look at eliminating turnovers when players are intentionally held up and stripped of the ball. Little guys like Dressler have no chance of retaining possession when 2 or 3 bigger players starting ripping at the ball simultaneously, if they did this to a QB the officals would whistle the play dead immediately.
  6. Question is why did Goosen not snap the ball, was it because Nichols left his post and was off pursuing the ref?
  7. He was sporting a cast for much of the second half of the season, so the fact that he broke his hand isn't really a surprise.
  8. Sure sounds like O'Shea is at least considering turfing Hall. https://www.bluebombers.com/2017/11/15/coach-oshea-end-of-season-press-conference/
  9. He may also have had a change of heart and sees returning home to Mtl. as a viable option to starting sooner.
  10. This is O'Shea in 20 years time trying to figure out why he hired Etch as his first D-coordinator.
  11. Spooner was left on the PR so he's basically a F.A. as soon as the season ends, I don't see how he can be under contract with the Bombers as some are inferring.
  12. Problem is, in the red-zone if Harris is stuffed they're often looking at 2nd and 13, seen that plenty of times in the past.
  13. I believe Hall had a big say in who played and who was let go, as all coordinators should.
  14. Washington is too damn skinny, he's got twigs for arms.
  15. Flanders is starting here just not at RB, he should be happy to return and Harris should be happy if they bring him back. I'm expecting Walters to preempt F.A. by announcing there will not be as many "big splash" signings as in past years due to budgetary restrictions, just to keep expectations in check. One problem with having a straight shooting, nice guy GM in charge instead of a hard-nosed prick like Wally, Jones or Barker is that he probably pays his vet. players a little too fairly across the board and in an environment like the CFL to stay competitive sometimes the "meat-market" approach gets more bang for the buck finding bargains.
  16. Get with the program, this mob has gathered to collect the head of Richie Hall. One head at a time, please.
  17. If things get blowed up real good in BC with a regime change, Mark Washington may come available and I believe he knows how to deploy LB's properly.
  18. Slow and painful way to progress if they keep losing their first playoff game.
  19. Sure he did look good in limited reps, he went back to school so should be back for T.C.
  20. They moved both White and LB Jevaris Jones to the one game I.R. last week, so sure bet they want to keep them around.
  21. HH to Pat Neufeld, he proved he could play well in place of Bond and stay healthy.
  22. Two off-seasons ago one of Walters priorities was to find some big strapping receivers as replacements, they brought in Jace Davis, Thomas Mayo and Gerrard Sheppard but subsequently released all 3 to accommodate Dressler, Smith and Denmark. I think that is a priority that needs to be revisited. Other point, Thorpe was perfect for LaPo's offence, either find another Thorpe clone, or forgive his transgression and scoop him up when Sask. leaves him unprotected in a few weeks time.
  23. Swayze doesn't seem to be the player he was, cut by BC and couldn't win the job in Edm. either.
  24. Sounds like Medlock is just looking for some love, without losing too much $$.
