you forgot that our 10 slice pizza only came with 9 slices and there's no guarantee Dominos will ever be providing that final slice

I wouldn't hate it if Bighill has an extended stay on the IL... provide leadership and mentorship to the new comers... and saves the Bombers on player cap and coaching cap... win-win

I'm not sure if it matters who "starts"... but a DE rotation of Willie, Garbutt, and Haba is likely the best case scenario for our DL

Are you forgetting they fired Dickenson and hired Mace?.... while it's yet to be seen if Mace will be a good, or even competent, coach... I wouldn't call it chaos at this point...

I don't know exactly how it all works... but if I could get an in-stadium stream with DT and DB on the call for all Bomber road games... I would gladly take that over the TSN production....

this is exactly what I was thinking... in the end, it's going to be Sask... but I find it hilarious that he is even second guessing it

my only concern is that we'll continue to roll out Thomas and Schmekel at DT consistently... rather than use the ratio in other areas... if the team plans to start Ford and Kramdi on D... that's already 8 Canadian starters without a DL.

The problem with Schmekel last year is he had no business on the AR... that's a failure on management for not bringing in a veteran competent Canadian DL to take some reps... or a failure on the coaching staff to not adjust the ratio or take advantage of the nationalized American rule... either way, Schmekel should've been developing on the PR while continuing to "practice hard"... not playing actual games

I would also like to subscribe to the Booch super secret newsletter… So it sounds like the middle linebacker spot is going to be Gauthier, Wilson or Petrishen to start the year… I’ll be a little disappointed if it’s Gauthier because that feels too much like a “we’re familiar with him” type of pick… I hope Petrishen or Moses really stands out and forces the coaches to start one of them game 1

Ford plays corner and Kramdi plays SAM… Kramdi won’t be backing up Ford… I actually think there’s a good chance both are starting

For sure... it wasn't just one play... but going back to the point @Colin Unger was making... despite all the mistakes the Bombers made in that game... it still could've been ended on the spot if we knock down that 3rd and 5 wobbler Same with 2022... despite the poor all around game the Bombers played... they got the ball back with a minute left and only needed a FG to win it... both games were there for the taking

True... but if Houston makes that play, it's likely going to OT... if Parker makes the previous play, it's game over just curious how you get to 11... If Gauthier plays I count ten potentially ... Gauthier, Kramdi, Ford, Lawson, Oliveira, 3 OL, Demski, and Woli

I believe it was Parker that got burnt on the 3rd and 5 shot... this is all correct... but the point Colin was making is despite all of that... we still could've won the game with one makable play

This is a great article.... good to hear that Haba seems ready to take over Jackson's role... but I'm excited about Garbutt and Rivers too... having a three man rotation of Willie, Haba, and Rivers/Garbutt will hopefully cause a lot of havoc for opposing QBs

definitely wasn't the only reason... but can't disagree with your point

I agree with your concerns over Bighill... but the team is clearly looking to start grooming LB replacements... we have 5 new American LBs and 2 new Global LBs in camp this year... I'd expect one or two of those Americans to stick around and hopefully start earning some playing time.... plus Cole could still be in line for the WIL spot if Wilson has injuries... plus if I recall, I believe this Max Charbonneau kid out of of Ottawa comes with some pedigree and people were excited to see what he brings (I could be thinking of someone else)

That's Cam, Son of Law, to us common folk

DT had 10 Canadian starter on the day 1 TC starting line up... I think we can safely assume (or desperately hope) that this will not be the game 1 starting line up... I wouldn't mind if we go 8 with Lawson and Ford potentially starting on D

This is completely unrelated to the point I was making... Bluto is very confused why she would want to continue working for the Argos despite being harassed at work... suggesting the onus is on the employee to leave rather than the organization to rectify the issue

so just to be clear... your stance on this specific part of the scenario is.... if someone was harassed at work, that person should be to the one to leave and give up on their dreams... with no onus on the organization to create a harassment-free work place.... if that is not what you believe, it doesn't show in your posts.

This is exactly why I like the Manu pick... worst case scenario he never comes north and he is exactly like the players listed above... best case scenario, he shows up here in a few years and we have a very good Canadian that can play tackle...

That's a very good thing... as long as you're talking about the 24-30 year old version of Jake... I don't pretend to know anything about the prospects but some of the resident experts around here seem to really like Brubacher... I wonder if we could've drafted the second round like this: 13 - Clercius 14 - Chris-Ike Brubacher 17 - Wallace 20 - Samson Chris-Ike Still end up with WR, RB, OL, DL but potentially an upgrade at DL... just a thought

totally agree with you here... this is Ferguson's complete write up on his projected 20th overall pick Justin Sambu: Every year I seem to draft Winnipeg an interior defensive lineman, while nobody has really laid claim to being ‘next’ in the Bombers rotation. Thanks Marshall... now I know exactly what kind of player Sambu is and why the Bombers would select him...

LOL, that is true... ol Randy Rhino is a little before my time
