  1. They would have a pretty strong QB room if they could sign Harris for $300k and backfill with MBT or Arbuckle.
  2. The point of the article was not to highlight the individual players picked to win, it was to illustrate the current awards system is outdated and needs to be fixed by removing artificial boundaries of teams and divisions. BTW the same concept every other football journalist in Canada agrees with. "However, just like in years past, the league’s outdated voting system will have as large an effect on the results as straight statistical comparisons. With local voters only able to select one nominee from each team and regional voters limited to one choice per division, the best two candidates rarely end up on the final ballot." Maybe you should read the article before commenting, eh?
  3. V.A. isn't any better, said a number of things in his season end presser that were better left unsaid.
  4. “Sometimes, having two incredibly talented quarterbacks is not a good thing because it divides people. It divides fans, it divides guys in the locker room, it divides coaches,” Fajardo said in his end-of-season media availability on Monday. “I have all the faith in Coach Maas and in Danny in them making the right decision — whatever that decision is.” Cody, Cody, Cody, no matter where he is, where he's been or where he's going, given the chance he always manages to say the wrong thing. https://3downnation.com/2024/11/12/having-two-incredibly-talented-quarterbacks-is-not-a-good-thing-alouettes-qbs-cody-fajardo-davis-alexander-view-co-existence-unlikely/ Sounds like Alexander is also chomping at the bit to replace him and will be looking for a starting role this off-season wherever that may be.
  5. Joel Gasson is a Regina-based sports writer, broadcaster and football fanatic. He is also a beer aficionado. Say no more!
  6. Twasn't, Arbuckle played the majority of the game. 12/22 87 0 0 Dukes played a few snaps and came in on short yardage. 3/4 37 0 0
  7. O'Shea indicated in his press conference yesterday, the choice of uniforms is made between Brad Fotty and the dressing room.
  8. Agree, had to listen to the game on CJOB as I was at the rink all day, kudos to Derek Taylor for doing such a great job describing the different formations and the player substitutions used by the Bombers D. I watched the game later Sat. night and not once did the TSN broadcast crew ever mention the Bombers had up to 9 DB's on the field at the same time! It seems like the description of strategic formations being used should be fundamental to better explaining the game, but somehow tactical info. is considered not worthy of presenting??? The visual isn't much better, with the tighter camera angles provided and the focus on the offensive backfield it's difficult to see what formations are being used in the secondary. Hopefully with the advancement in technology taking place TSN reconsiders how they go about presenting the game and don't cling tenaciously to the 50+ year old model they've based their broadcast on.
  9. Taylor said Younger invited him back earlier in the season when BA originally went down but he couldn't make it work with his job or family. He posted a video of a workout later on and Younger reached out to him again to see if he was still interested in playing, and they made it work. https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/11/11/in-my-words-nick-taylor/
  10. I think you're stretching his capabilities, granted Arbuckle was at the helm when the Argos beat the Bombers earlier in the season, but lord have mercy his average completion was 4 yds. 12/22; 87 yards; 0 TD; 0 INT A-DINK-A-DUNK-A-DINK-A-DUNK.
  11. I'm not convinced the Elks will renew Jarious Jackson but I guess that depends on who they appt. as their GM, even after Jones was fired, he didn't manage the QB situation all that well. Adding the asst.. HC title to Younger won't pad his pocket as the Bombers are already maxed out, unless the CFL does away with the administrative cap in the off-season and allows teams to spend what they need to retain staff.
  12. Have to wonder how long the Bombers can hold onto Jordan Younger, the guy is proving to have brilliant defensive mind and he has to be high on the list of any team looking for a brand new HC or HC/DC. Can't see him hanging around as a DC if he receives offers to double his salary, does he have any ties to Wpg? He's paid his dues on the way up now it's time for him to reap the green, once appointed a HC in the CFL the title can be milked for a solid decade in a multitude of locations. I'm preparing mentally for Richie Hall 2.0, coming sooner than you'd like.
  13. Nobody in higher places is going to say or do anything about Armstead's actions, the very mention of it is off-limits.
  14. Take a gander at the CFL transactions page today, plenty of action from the Bombers. Being moved to the PR after the season is over is not good sign of future prospects, but it could be an indication of the players desire to move on in a different direction and not an indication of the Bombers necessarily finding fault with their performance. Anyways, kiss a bunch of em goodbye. https://www.cfl.ca/transactions Jamal Wood PR Myron Mitchell 1 Game Brian Cole PR Vanterpol 1 game Owen Hubert FA Max Charbonneau FA Devin Adams PR Kyle Samson PR Jamal Parker 6 game Adam Bighill 6 game Tyrique Mcghee FA Jason Person 1 game Cam lawson 6 game Bryce Notree FA Drew Wolitarsky 6 game
  15. A new coat of red and white paint is about all they'll do, paint the entire stadium in stripes to dazzle the eye and hide the cracks.
  16. Cole moved to the IR, which I believe is a healthy scratch.
  17. I heard they were down around 3500 this season, don't know if that's true. All those filthy rich oil companies making bank and they can't sell corporate tickets???
  18. Isn't that the one Sergio kicked 6/6 FG's in?
  19. The horse's name must be Patience.
  20. In a city that doesn't care.... I can't imagine who in the Stamps org. was pushing for this.
  21. That's pretty much what they did in the BB, Zach repeatedly hit Brady swinging out of the backfield, good for 6/60 yds.
  22. One game, against the worst secondary in the league, can't sling the ball all over the field willfully in the playoffs. Against the best secondaries and smartest DC's they'll lay bait and converge on any deep throw that is contested, that's why you rarely see 400 yd. passing games in the playoffs, it's too risky and good D's won't allow it.
  23. Hopefully if Zach has learned anything from the last 2 GC cup losses, it's take what is given and don't risk forcing the ball downfield when there's nothing there.
  24. Was that under David Braley? I doubt they didn't have the money to pay him but were probably scared to go way over the cap and lose a draft pick. Times have changed in BC, no fear.
