Didn't Sears start one game at SAM in 2012 and get hurt half way through??

Didn't Banks play mostly as a nickelback on passing downs last year?... no reason he couldn't play a similar role this year.... I like his attitude and I think it helps the team off the field to have him around this year... assuming he's not a liability on the field

Some harsh words from Mr O'Leary... especially his closing "left Sunday’s availability shaking my head, saying the three words that I’ve regrettably been married to for the last two years in dealing, or attempting to deal with this organization. What a joke."

Is what you're saying that for this reason, you don't expect Walters to make a play for Peach? I'm assuming he's a first year guy. He is actually second year player.... that's the first thing I looked up after reading Mike's post

I really like our coaching staff... so far... we'll see what the first few weeks brings But one thing I like is it seems like we are building contingency plans at all positions.... guys like Etch, Dalqvist, and Wylie won't be around forever.... maybe when they move on, guys like Tracey, Buck, and Charbanneau (respectively) will be ready to step in and fill those roles without having a big effect on the product

He's a large man for a linebacker... and I like it... any chance this guy eventually gets some defensive reps or would he be a special teamer primarily?

Calgary has the following players on their suspended list: 49 Marshall, Brian FB Non-Import 6.00 210 1991-02-24 Western 61 Circelli, Joe OL Non-Import 6.03 296 1991-03-22 Western 71 Crapigna, Tyler K Non-Import 5.07 166 1992-08-04 McMaster 97 Wiggan, Derek DL Non-Import 6.01 250 1992-07-27 Queen's Is it safe to assume these guys are going back to school? Can you "hide" guys on the suspended list like teams do with the IR?

Please, please don't ever suggest that, ever again!!

Jenny Vrentas will be in Winnipeg.... not as high profile as Peter King but a very good writer.... and much more pleasing to the eyes

What his father did means nothing imo... if anything, hopefully, Davin will try to escape the reputation of his father off the field... and I love his "bowling ball" build, works nicely through the tackles and tough to bring down

Isn't that all you need to be a good qb? ;-)

Technically no matter who we signed at MLB would be a downgrade... even if it was an INT as good as Muamba, the fact that he's not NI makes him a downgrade.... but the four guys you mentioned I think will make a big contribution to the team... and don't forget about Goossen, I think he'll have a good career eventually

Just a thought... I'm assuming Brett Maher will be playing with Ottawa tonight against Montreal... he'll have the unique experience of playing 3 pre-season games...

Obviously this coaching staff, specifically Wylie and his protege (forget the guy's name), see something in Swiston that they didn't see in Pencer and Kowalczuk.... there's still hope Swiston could turn out to be a serviceable player...

http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/04/14/willie-haulstead-drawing-attention-with-big-catches-at-bombers-mini-camp I see now who you are talking about. What DID happen to him? I like the comment at the end about Marve. I suppose now, he'll just go down as the oldest looking 24 year old in the history of the world. Seriously. He could be 45. Ummm, have you met Greg Oden... this is him at 20!!

he dropped a ton of passes in game 1, receivers who can't catch tend not to be worth much. I am a bit disappointed in cutting Hall now, I think that was a move that could have waited until you make damned sure you're other backups are for real but whatever I know why they did it... I just don't have to like it. Guy makes one mistake compared to the other and he's out that's a risky way of running your team. Haha, so that's how you see it, eh? I have no problem with Max Hall and up until the signing of Browning, fully expected him to be the back-up this year..... but there are several more reasons he got cut than just that pick he threw against Cgy...

You know ... this is actually a fairly overlooked idea by fans. Fitzgerald could definitely be a guy who takes snaps as a receiver if needed. yeah this is actually a really good idea... limiting his snaps could get him playing time late in games and in more game in general

I started really following football in the late nineties so my first fond memories are of the Reinbold era... But anyways, that 2001 Grey Cup loss was crushing... I feel like everything we went through over the past 4 years wouldn't hurt so much if we were only 13 years out of a Cup, not 24.... but here we are.... I think I'm gonna watch highlights of the 1990 Grey Cup on youtube now...

Multiple media reported he says he will retire once he is done in the NFL... but hey, who knows, maybe he'll take one crack with the blue and gold

Hamilton got ripped apart tonight. They did not look good, 9 sacks given up. UGLY. Odd, according to TSN the game was sold out but on twitter about 15 minutes before the game started one of the reporters stated that there were lots of seats still available. Sold out ? or Not? They were playing at varsity stadium which holds about 5,000 people.... apparently they sold out but it's not much to brag about

I think Watson has a bit of "Buck Pierce syndrome"... he only knows how to play the game one way and trying to change his position or style may limit his effectiveness... he's a good athlete, so maybe he can adapt but I think we will keep him where he belongs in the slot... I guess we just have to cross our fingers we'll get at least 14-16 games from him...

Marve was so impressive they gave him **** all for playing time in the pre-season. Look I get it, he was good that one drive in the home pre-season game, but he was very obviously behind the other guys on the depth chart and that didn't appear to change at all. He was most likely looking at a PR spot to start the year anyway so if they're bringing in a new qb the most logical place to look at who he is going to replace is the guy sitting #4 on the depth chart. Obviously he was behind the other guys, he's a fresh faced fn rookie for gods sake, why are you making so many excuses for max hall? why are you in love with mediocre to garbage players like max hall and jamie stoddard? Seriously, I like your pic tho, it explains you quite well, sheldon, always right even when he's wrong. Marve was so impressive they gave him **** all for playing time in the pre-season.

Jamie Stoddard is a saint, no need to bring him into this fight!

Here's how I look at the reasons each could be cut.... Marve: -came into camp as a long shot -is still technically the 4th stringer Hall: -Is not mobile and we have a rebuilding o-line -has not performed well in pre-season games -plays different style than Willy, doesn't fit offense Brohm: -hasn't played great in pre-season (was promising against Cgy) -doesn't have enough CFL game experience to be #2 Willy: -just kidding, it's obviously not Willy! So, to me, it seems like Hall is the most likely, but I wouldn't be blown away if it's Marve... FWIW I've been known to be wrong before

Not necessarily... maybe the team feels Marve will develop better/faster as the 3rd stringer, actually being on the sidelines and involved in the game... maybe they like Marve as a short yardage QB.... I'm not saying it's for sure Hall is cut but the argument works both ways...

Wouldn't Toronto love to have a "problem" like this....
