I don't think he has the speed to play SAM.... but imagine a LB at a 6'2, 260lb crushing RBs if they dared get to the second level!... And yes... I get that you were just making a joke

The 1960s called... they want their way of thinking back...

He's a marginal football player at best. That's quite incorrect... he's a very good defensive end... problem is he has tweener size for the NFL... too small to be a DE but doesn't have the skill set to be an OLB... he is the perfect size to be a CFL DE.... he's need to put on 30 lbs to be an NFL DE

To be fair, I've heard Kroeker pronounced both ways. And Goossen. He had a really solid playoff run from what I saw, but having his name show up on Montreal's neg list might not even amount to a training camp invitation. Names go on and off those things all the time, from what I understand. I'm no scout but that Nigerian dude on the Bison interior Dline, if we could develop what he showed on some plays, well he had some impressive snaps out there. David Onyemata...With his size and athleticism... if he develops into a real football player he may be playing a little further south than Winnipeg... That's my take too but who knows. If Bilukidi will turn out to be a Bombers next year. It doesn't hurt to wait for a couple of years for them to learn a lot on NFL camps before coming here in the CFL. You can tell the reason he looks good in CIS is cuz he's so huge and athletic... he has a long way to go before he even has CFL potential, let alone NFL potential... but with the right coaching, he has the physical skills to play at the highest level...

I agree that a blog post could just as easily be a new thread post... no idea what the "pages" section is all about...

If they can't be fired right now to keep all the attention focused on the events surrounding the festivities and the game itself, it would be bad form to interview people for a job that isn't even open yet. To me that sort of looks bush league. If they were going to fire the coordinators they should have done it the way BC did. Fire before the moratorium. That being said... if the decision's been made to fire one or more coordinators and those folks have been told, then there's nothing bush league about doing interviews during GC week. Brice... Steinhauer is a good DC who's on a team that's made it to the GC two years running. Other than a big raise, there's nothing in it for him to leave Hamilton for the same job on the Bombers. Terry ... You don't know what its like working with Austin. OS and Steinhauer are friends. If the Cats get AnallyPounded next Sunday, I'm sure he'd at least entertain a job offer, especially if more money was attached Hate to be "that guy" but... do you actually know what it's like to work for Kent Austin??... or are you just speculating based on his sideline antics... for all we know, the guy could be a fantastic boss...

I've never found Al Bradbury to call in our favour.... I can recall on several occasions joking "C'mon Bradbury, how about a little home cooking?!?"

I thought Grigsby was hurt at the end of that game and Volny was in. Or am I remembering a different game? You may be right... doesn't change my thoughts on what we shoulda done... but certainly ruins the irony of the whole situation...

Maybe it was just him playing against CIS competition... but I thought Byron Archambault has the speed... to go along with the obvious size (6'0 240) and play-making ability... to play MLB in the CFL.. anyone who knows more than me (most people) have any thoughts on this kid? Has he been drafted yet or is he eligible this year? O believe they mentioned in the broadcast a few times that CFL scouts are "drooling" over him...

Interesting thought crossed my mind as I watched Grigsby punch in a 3-yard TD on sunday afternoon... If MB decided to give Grgsby the ball on the 3 yard line against this very Ham team and he punches it in.... Ham loses that game... Ham falls to 8-10 on the season... Ham probably misses the playoffs... Grigsby may or may not have still been released... I need to find the alternate universe where I can see how this woulda played out...

On an interim basis, possibly, but not as a full time role...Not a chance. I remember hearing an interview or ready an article where he said he would only consider it on an interim basis...

Right, which is why I said above, was it Buck or was it Grigsby that was the problem? Even I lean more towards Grigsby being the issue, but still. I think people are just thinking Buck is this magical creature that's going to fix all the problems of this team and want to promote him way too fast. He still has a lot to learn and a long way to go before even becoming an OC. And as much as I hated him as a player, if he can become a good coach, then by all means, keep him on. I just hate this fixation on him that he's some kind of savior and super totally awesome coach to be, when no one here really knows what he can or can't do. I think you're extrapolating other's posts to strengthen your point... no one here has suggested he's a magical figure and will save the franchise... no one here has said he should be our OC or our HC today... I think there was only one or two suggestions that he should be the QBC today.... The basic jist of the Buck love is.... he's a great guy for the team and for the community and we hope he turns out to be a great coach someday... At least that's how I feel...

I gotta say, as far as signing a Canadian fullback off the streets, already in his mid-twenties... Pontbriand was a pretty nice find by Mack...

I know it's been mentioned... but what I really like is we're signing KEY players early in the off-season... in the past it seems only back-ups and fringe players were re-signing in Nov-Dec...

I have a Jon Ryan jersey... unfortunately I bought it when I was in university so I was too cheap and just got the press-on numbers

Jordan Yantz for QB!!

Did you not include Heenan and Jones b/c you are just assuming they will resign in Sask/Cgy?

I would love to see at least 2 or 3 new starting Canadians.... which I think is attainable via the draft, free agency, or even NFL "cast-offs"

Why must you continually embarrass yourself by bringing stats and logic into arguments... this is no place for that!

Sounding more and more like the Eskies Depth might be 1) Nichols 2) White 3) some guy named Matt Scott or Goltz??... wonder if Reilly will dress as the #3...

Didn't the same thing happen last year with Alex Hall?? Played in the east for 14 (ish) games and was listed as a west division all-star... essentially based on all the stats he compiled in the east...

Is a quote from someone??? Cuz it's just plain wrong... Cutler, Forte, Bennett, Marshall, Jeffery.... they have some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL... Defence is a different story though... So,how am I wrong then? It always comes down to talent. Whether it's on both sides of the ball or in just one aspect of the team. They have plenty of talent on offense but they're not getting it done... that's on coaching... it's pretty clear you are right about the defense...

Do they still play playoff games in The Big O?.... Better question... does that stadium still exist?

I agree that BC has as good a chance as Ham or Mtl of representing the East... but not as favourable as it looked early in the year... I think BC beats Mtl but then loses to Hamilton...
