I keep seeing Arceneaux straight-arming Washington and throwing him to the turf like a limp ragdoll.While embarrassing to witness, I still loved it because Washington sucks. What? Washington has been one our best defenders, plus one our best kick returners, what games have you been watching? you might be over valuing him here... good player? Sure... but if I had to list our best defenders he would be behind (in no particular order) Westerman, Bass, Wild, Leggett, Adams, Randle, and Johnson...

what I'm hoping to see in our D next year... Westerman - Imp DT - NI DT (with Thomas getting some reps) - actual pass rusher Leggett - Bass - Wild Randle - Washington/someone new - Waggoner - Johnson - Adams

You want Randle to replace J. Adams? After he had 6 int's last year? There's 2 corners on the field...

If the Chris Jones era mean lots of wins... no one cares how ruthlessly or "classless" you operate...

Sour grapes from losing the Grey Cup?

I's love to see us add 2 DPs (1 sixth man, 1 developmental) and one FA on o-line... make the starting line-up look something like: Bryant - FA/DP - Goossen - Chungh - Daniels Though Neufeld is a fairly valuable 6th man... due to versatility...

I don't know enough about these prospects to name specific players... but I would like to see Bombers go DL and OL with the first two picks.... assuming it's not too much of a reach from BPA...

Are you referring to Harris Andrews? What would be the reverse of a RB... LB?

I'm curious if you know, or anyone else for that matter, how much Huff, Murphy, Petrie were making last season together? No one knows or probably even cared to ask until the riders made this move. For some reason it seems more like a big deal because its the Riders. I get it, its a bomber fan site, but still the question stands. Kinda missed the point... it's not a matter of how much they are paying that irks some people... it's how they did it... by throwing cash at people already under contract... don't kid yourself into thinking Jones would have gone to Sask if not for the massive pay raise... Just for the record... I'm not mad at the Riders for doing that ... I just wished the Bombers had instead!

See I see it as he's the GM in waiting, they just want to let someone else do the rebuilding before they give him the keys to the team. Promoting someone who is not ready... I hear that's a good way to go about....

So does that mean Dickenson will remain as the OC?

I realize I'm committing the cardinal sin of saying I read something without providing a source... maybe I'll have to look for it now... At least I'm not claiming it as my own opinion or fact....

yes, that could have been one of the sources.... but I don't fully trust Madani b/c he pumps his friends tires... I believe there was an article about Smith that I read...

Common..Anyway, I'm not in corner of a LaPolice rehire...we can aim higher, but what I was saying is that it didn't matter what name was inserted there, you were a-shakin, and a-sighin. He's not even hired yet. Khari Jones? Nah..too buddy buddy...shaking and a sighin Jason Maas? Nah..wouldn't pay for him..and he's too new...shaking and a sighin Jarious Jackson? Nah..no experience...shaking and a sighin Chad Allen? Just shaking all over.. That's my point... just wanted to point out I only liked this post b/c of the Chad Allen reference... Also, the word you're looking for id c'mon.... unless you meant that his response was a common one... in which case "typical" would probably have been a better choice... Aw common Bearpants, leave Dee alone. Sorry... I so often resist the urge to be a grammar nazi... sometimes it gets the better of me... I do appreciate and enjoy Dee's posts...

lol why? Craig Smith is horrible. The only team that has brought in worse talent than us import wise over the past number of years. I've heard he's quite good on the Canadian side... perhaps my sources were incorrect... I forget where I read it...

My reaction has been luke-warm since this was announced.... I wanted someone who has experience and has had success... LaPo moree or less meets that criteria... but I was hoping for someone new to the org to bring fresh ideas and a fresh attitude... especially if this person may be in line for interim HC... My ideal list would've look something like this: 1. Cortez (not sure if he's retired) 2. Brady 3. Chap 3a. LaPo 4. Jackson

Yep I believe the good DR.CFL called this one a couple days ago before anyone in media was talking about it Indeed good call. I hate to say it, but i LOVE what's going on in Saskatchewan right now. I hate it... because it's in Sask... I'd love it if it were here... On another note... if Sask has dropped Craig Smith... we should try to get him ASAP... fire McManus or Goevia, doesn't really matter to me....

Hearing that he's going to be DC too would be a major flag for me... that is a ridiculous amount of responsibility for one person not names Bill Belichick...

Take that Riders... this will surely overshadow whatever they are announcing today! I like this signing... hopefully we can grab another DP or FA to provide a solid Canadian interior this season...

Looks more modern.... which is a good start... I'll probably form a better opinion once I use the sites a few times, looking for specific info...

I just can't see the NCAA. If he's successful, I could see the NFL at some point. Don't forget, the NCAA pays much more than the CFL (at major colleges anyways)

I'm all for that. I believe all the coaches other than MB will be returning next season. So I don't think you'll see K Jones as QB coach. If you're taking away the new OC's autonomy to have a say in his own assistants... then don't get your hopes up on getting a quality candidate....

Nice little article... but, unless I missed something, I couldn't help but notice they didn't go to TD Manitoba...

As usual, you are here with your troll pot shots at the Riders. Do you ever comment about anything else? Its actually flattering that you are a Tigercat fan and all you ever post about is the Riders. Austin will leave the Cats hanging in a second if something better comes up. I was mad when Austin left but we have a cup to show for the year he was here. That's sports, its about winning. I don't care if Jones leaves in a year or two, we are a better team today than we were yesterday, and that's what matters and that's what's bugging you isn't it? I disagree with your definition of trolling... this is a BOMBER FAN FORUM... "pot shots" at the Riders are not only accepted, they are basically encouraged... if he went over to RiderFans and did this... then sure...
