I think I've come to accept that Henoc isn't coming back.

I sort of have to agree - time to move on one would think.

All depends on how things play out - I don't think we signed Clarke, Gaitor, Roh and Fenner as backups...  then Bowman, Lafrance, Demski on offence

Moved on from two of our Canadians and two 2017 all-stars

So two new HBs, new CB, SAM, DE, SB, possible RB/SB types... new full-time MLB and LG 

Flipped the ratio to offence in a major way - I'm not against it but it is interesting how much change we may be facing

I don't think that is really all that uncommon anymore. Last year there was at least 5 new starters on D (Nevis, poop, oko, jeffcoat, Alexander). And what 3 on Offence. It's just the way the CFL is now. The core is still there.

Can include walker and Carmichael too... however okpo/Jeffcoat and poop/Nevis we’re kind of just one position

maybe it won’t happen but to me it looks like we’re poised to see completely new looks on O and D...

You can include every team in the league. Everyone is rolling trough a bunch of new starters.

I agree actually... this could be the new reality of one year contracts 

calgary is still following their course - cutting vets... probably the least ‘blown up’

i might argue that sask is being accidentally blown up

but yes more change league wide than previous years

Football is also a higher turn over sport. Guys from college are more ready to play and have a big impact right away compared to most sports.

I guess this is my point - we have significant positions changing before any recruitment surprised or vet TC cuts

Henoc Muamba visits Montreal Alouettes

Posted on February 25, 2018 by Justin Dunk // 2 Comments

Henoc Muamba took a trip the La Belle Province.

The ratio-breaking Canadian linebacker spent time meeting Alouettes coaches and seeing the facilities last week.

 

And the 2018 Great Canadian Henoc Tour has begun... 

[Blueandgold]

 So it’s either back to Winnipeg or back to Montreal? Interesting.

[Mike]

Yeah I figured he'd want to head to Ottawa too.

[WBBFanWest]

Anyone seen the tour bus at/near the stadium?

 

 

[bb1]

HENOC. ...The Magical Mystery Tour
Is waiting to take you away

 

[wbbfan]

Inb4 toronto signs him too. 

If he has to consider going back to mtl vs here then he has the wrong mentality. 

[bustamente]

You think the facilities have changed that much in Montreal

Plus its still run by captain dumpster fire, has no qb etc etc. Every team in the cfl has a chance to be good next year. cept montreal. 

[Noeller]

I can't believe they actually think he's worth all this nonsense... Christ. 

[bustamente]

Not going to get my hopes up , if he wants to play here great if not he take a long walk of a short pier.

[Mark F]

I guess Muamba is worth waiting for

3downnation  

"Overall Muamba has played in 73 career games since Winnipeg selected him No. 1 overall in the 2011 CFL Draft. He has recorded 267 tackles, 74 special teams tackles, 11 forced fumbles, six sacks, four interceptions and one touchdown."

Frankly its the offseason and as long as Muamba is here for day 1 of training camp I don't care how long he takes to sign.

Two weeks ago you were going to set up a kickstarter and advocating for us taking a cap penalty to make sure we got him.  Now he's not worth buying dinner for?

[Fatty Liver]

If Walters is seriously negotiating with Muamba I hope it's for a multi-year deal so they at least get a couple of years out of him.

[Stickem]

Muamba...for all of his perceived short comings is still a pretty good canuck ball player...He would make our D an instant contender to win it all....IF we can get him on a 2 year deal, I think he's worth the effort...Should here something soon...one way or the other
