  1. Or the bombers want competition at every spot. They also have some holes. DE. LB. 1 receiver spot. RB probably. Also a new D scheme too.
  2. Not shocked lol. I'd be shocked if it hit plus 30 in April. 4 more degrees. Just gut feeling they go wr at 2 I'm not in to trading pick 2 for other picks, I mean what's the point really, It's the CFL DRAFT, not the NFL draft or NHL draft.. In my opinion, a guy taken at 2 is just as likely to succeed or fail as the guy taken at 22 or whatever really. It's not like there are sid crosbys or jameis winstons in the CFL draft, It's a bunch of guys that really, you don't know what you are gonna get. With an OL, you could get a flop like Scott Mitchell who was ranked like number 1 in his draft year.. Or you could get a pierre luc labbe, say what you want but the guy had a great career and was a very late, if not the latest pick in his draft year. In 2 years that OLINE you take at 2 might be off to the NFL cuz the NFL wants oline too.. say we take an oline at 2 and he leaves for the NFL in a couple seasons? Is it a good pick? He never comes back meanwhile one of the guys we passed on, let's just say Demski here, he's a 1000 yard guy. I'm under the impression here that the rankings are meaningless, if you want Demski, take him at 2. If that's the guy you actually want... where you pick him is irrelevant, If he's the guy you want... pick him at 2 and go OL at 11 really. It's all about who the bombers feel will be the best player in the draft, perhaps the best player not to go to the NFL even in the draft, Listen Henock was a great player but he's in the NFL now.. was it really a good pick when you think about it? Don't you want guys who will stick around their entire careers? If the bombers feel that Demski is the guy, get him, if they feel it's an OL, get him instead. It's all about who they feel is the best player available, in terms of needs i would assume. Looking at the roster, Geez that Canadian receiver depth looks pretty weak actually.
  3. Benton is gone. Interesting and Lyn too. Guess didn't impress as much in mini camp
  4. Just sign him and end this madness lol
  5. Hurl Newman Briggs. Makes one definitely assume Canadian starting LB. Not sure if Middle or WILL tho
  6. Also to be fair the mini camp is being held in Ottawa not Florida
  7. All I will say is replace Willy with "insert Jets player here" and I'm pretty sure I've read this article b4
  8. Shocked if they do go OL. Either way it's irrelevant but I think receiver has way less depth and there still will be OL at 11 and even 15. Draft being OL heavy makes me think going elsewhere at 2 makes way too much sense. Receiver being most likely
  9. Complaining about location after its built is pointless. It's a pretty great stadium. I live 2 minutes or so from the north perimeter and have had no issues getting to games on time.
  10. Demski makes more sense cuz the DL has turner Anderson and even Collins there who might be a beast. Looking at all American DL with a Canadian cb and lb.
  11. Many coaches b4 Eakins came in. Same roster too. It's an on ice problem. Too many small skilled forwards with no heart
  12. Kimmo timmonen and Dan Boyle are both under 6 feet. Those guys are pretty good. That's just 2 players tho. Some forwards under 6 feet include Marty st louis, sid the kid, Patrick kane, Claude Giroux, Pavel Datsyuk. Really the size thing means nothing. Toby is a very good defensive d man. He's a legit number 1 D at worst 2nd pair. Nonsense that's he's a bottom pair guy. Ridiculous to even suggest such a thing even. Has a rough couple of playoff games playing with a bad shoulder and he sucks? Funny cuz buff looked like crap and played much worse and he's a big guy. Size in nhl is irrelevant really. Minny ain't a huge team and they beat the bigger st louis. Size = irrelevant. If it mattered teams like Boston San Jose and LA all would have made the playoffs. They didn't tho. Smaller teams like minny Nyr tbay Montreal even all did. Chicago? Minny? They have a couple big guys like the jets but as a team they aren't that big on average really. The days of the broadstreet bullies are gone. Players are now smaller and more skilled. Guess cuz Toby plays well defensively and is "small" and doesn't do flashy things on the ice he sucks?
  13. Give it a rest already
  14. He's a top left handed D man on a good contract. He'd get lots
  15. Anderson,Turner,Collins and others makes me think we are going all american on the DLINE.. I think it's pretty obvious we will have 2 canadians on D, one LB, one DB... The rest will be on the O side of things.
  16. Lots of doubt, this Morley release was rumored to happen a long time ago. I think the more likely scenario is once Picard was signed, Morley was done as a bomber.
  17. But seriously, 3 picks in the top 15. Current National OL on the roster - Griffiths,Everett,Neufeld,Picard,Greaves,Goossen. 3 will start. 4 will be rostered Current National Receivers - Kohlert,JFG,Bastien,Reaves. 2 will start... wouldn't 2 others need to back up? Reaves is PR bound FOR SURE.. tells me they will go Demski at 2 as there will be OLINE available at 11 and 15 for sure, Maybe not the "top ranked guys" but really those rankings mean nothing. Some of those top guys will be looking to the NFL in a few years and the NFL will WILL give them a chance,, see ben heenan and Brett Jones. The only way i see them not going Demski at 2 is if in his interviews, Demski tells every other team he will only play for the Bombers.
  18. just a message to MIKE: make sure you wear those shorts for about 5 days straight, eat lots of burritos,tacos, east indian food too. Thanks.
  19. Myers,Trouba,Buff Toby,Stu,Chiarot Yeah pretty obvious which guy i would be moving out of that group.. It's the guy getting paid like he's a top pairing d man but is playing on the third pair. Maybe if Buff can be moved for a top 4 d, then maybe i think about moving Toby, cuz Toby also would get quite a bit back, he's so undervalued it's actually crazy... plenty of teams would give up tons to get him.. Let's bring recent history into this.. LA traded their first (protected tho, because they didn't make the playoffs so its' a 2016 1st to Carolina) plus a pretty good D prospect for Sekera. RENTAL NYR gave up a 1st (this year), a great prospect in Duclair and something else for Yandle. 1 year remaining on his deal Buff would get back atleast that..Sekera a pure rental for LA got back a 1st and a legit D prospect Toby? a legit number 1 LHD signed to a decent deal for what? 3 more years? man oh man, you'd get back a ton.
  20. Walters pretty much said these 2 releases were SMS related. I think it's that simple. 2 guys getting paid lots of money, 2 vets at that. There is always someone cheaper for sure. The way of the CFL really and football in general for that matter. Heck, Sports in general.
  21. You seem so convinced, like it's a certainty almost, do you have some inside knowledge that others do not? Or is that the bottom line cuz GBill said so?
  22. The media? LOL like TSN and Sportsnet i guess? who only mentioned the Jets in passing this entire season? I don't get this really, The Jets were pretty much ignored by TSN and Sportsnet the entire season, the only time they actually got some love is when they made the playoffs. All year, both TSN and Sportsnet did everything they could to pretty much ignore the Jets, Toronto this, Ottawa that, Montreal this, Calgary that, Vancouver this, Edmonton this... Winnipeg rarely to never received any sort of love from those 2 networks at all, part of the issue i have with sportsnet is how they completely ignored the Jets all season long. Never talked about them and if they did, it was for 20 seconds. They make the playoffs, get some, not lots, but some love and it's a bad thing now? If you really want to go there, during most jets broadcasts on sportsnet, we got the D team and that D team we got, it was pretty obvious they were cheering against the JETS. ps: TRUE NORTH!!!
  23. I could see some trades happening, but... I think it's more likely that Edmonton is the team making those "big" trades. I don't think the Jets will, might move Buff, might not, depends on what he wants in terms of money and term on an extension. If he wants too much term and money, he'll be traded for sure. If not, he won't be. Chevy doesn't seem like the kind of guy to trade any of the prospects we have or any of our picks tho, I don't see it happening. If anything, i see us trading buff and maybe burmi as a throw in for another 1st round pick. He won't be moving any that's for sure. IMO, untouchables are the guys Chevy has drafted and or traded for and guys like ladd,little,wheeler and even Toby because we have nobody on the left side that is even remotely good enough to be that number 1 LHD.
  24. Enstrom for Lupul hurts this team so much it's ridiculous. Toby is our top LHD man and we have nobody on the roster that can replace him right now. Not even close actually. People have this weird hate on for Enstrom because he had a tough 3 or so games in the playoffs. I don't get it tho, you do not under any circumstances trade your number 1 by a longshot left handed d man for a constantly injured overpaid winger. Enstrom would get back so much more, he's so undervalued and under appreciated by Jets fans cuz he's small, It's ridiculous. Lupul? No thanks. Not what the Jets need at all.
  25. Vega was being paid a healthy sum of cash apparently so it makes sense that they would release him.
