Montreal has a guy named Randy Rhino!!! RANDY RHINO!!! ... this is the greatest name I've ever heard... why have we never heard of this guy!?

His list from from post-Kevin Glenn to pre-Matt Nichols... so that would be 2009 through game 5 of 2016 (I think I have that time frame right)... I believe Kingsbury was only here one year, 2007

Personally.. I always thought No Pee Leonard was a better nickname... but the other one seemed to stick for some reason

He lists Thomas as the starter at DT... 🤦‍♂️

Sounds like they tried jump on (what is apparently) a social media trend... kind of funny but at the same time probably not a great idea to piss off a large group of the fanbase.

I bet @SpeedFlex27 has something from like the 60s

He's one of those guys (like Drew Willy) where I always wonder what he would've looked like if he played on this version of the Bombers

Bombers currently have 17 on the roster... Bombers usually go DB crazy too as it doesn't seem to be an area they spend money on

The news broke less than a week ago... you're expecting some sort of resolution already??

I'll take the innocent until proven guilty mindset... in fairness to everyone involved... but if the accused was someone on the bottom of the roster, making near minimum... that player would be released already

My prediction is Bighill and Wilson are still the starters but Cole will be rotating in a lot… ideally we use the designated Canadian rule on Bighill to allow for even more flexibility on D… but that remains to be seen

I don't care what would've happened if the ball hadn't hit the crossbar.... idiots like to say the Bombers got lucky... I say the Riders luck finally ran out... on that final drive there was the Sayles almost pick that would've ended the game... BA almost had a pick that would've ended the game... if Fajardo holds on to that "incomplete" a split second longer, it's a fumble and the game is over... Rider finally stopped fluking that final drive.

I thought you were making two separate points since I was only talking about interior Canadians.

if you're talking about just interior Canadians... I'd say need is a strong word... if that's the case, the Bombers have had poor OL depth the past 5 season

I actually think you're wrong here... the problem with Jackson wasn't his contributions as a fullback... it's that he was taking up a DI spot on a position that easily could've been filled by a Canadian rookie... if his passport was different (even Global), I don't think anyone would've had a problem with him

thank you for being the first to point this out (I've been busy for a couple days)... everyone seems to be forgetting Walters says this every year I'd also like to know what some people consider good OL depth?... Bombers currently have 4 quality Canadian interior OL, that can start... hopefully add a blue chip prospect in the draft and we'll be fine... how many other teams can boast that?... Riders would love to have one, never mind 4...

I guess the only real question would be if the Als could keep them under 100 points?

We all know Walters commits certain dollars to certain positions… if I had to guess, American DT is a position that is usually reserved for minimum salary, or close to it… Stove, Sayles, and even Walker were all let go once they were due a big raise

I’ve always liked Dimitroff and love that he pumps up the cfl… but I just don’t ever see this happening… O’Shea has zero experience in American football and has never been a DC at any level, never mind the highest level of football there is… I think it’s great that a CFL hall of fame player and future HoF coach is being talked about among nfl circles… but I think he’s here (cfl) for life.

The quotes from Jeffcoat are all good… the real hacky stuff is when Friesen clearly tries to paint this picture of “Jeffcoat and Willie are equal (based solely on sack stats) so why the the BB rush to sign Willie and throw Jackson to the curb?”… anyone with the slightest bit of insights can recognize they are very different players with different roles… enough about annoying hacks that mail it in… now is the time to celebrate a dominant player who gave his heart and soul to our city and our team… thanks to Jackson for 6 awesome years with the bombers… one of my favourite players over that time… I just hope he stays in shape just in case we need some DE depth come playoff time 😁

This is a VERY specific take... I've always been a fan of the traditional numbering system (90s = DL, 80s = WR, 60s = OL, etc)... but that a specific number should not only go to a specific position, but a specific type of player... is a little odd... any reason for this stance?

I remember seeing somewhere on social media that he was going to test the market (I can't remember the source)... no guarantee he's not back if no one offers more than we are... unless the team has decided to move on

I'm no insider but I have it on pretty good authority the following teams showed interesting in Schoen... BC, Calg, Edm, Sask, Ott, Tor, Mtl, and Ham... prove me wrong

Something that hasn't fully sunk in for me yet.... We're up by a TD with 5 mins left in the game... and now we send BRADY AND STREVELLER on to the field to close it out... good luck other team!

It's also relative too... Ouellette is easily the #2 back on the board right now... let's say Sask is planning to pay him 200... then 230 seems like decent value for Brady
