TrueBlue4ever Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 So ahead of the team nominees announcements this week, any thoughts as to who you would choose, and who should advance and win? My picks: MOP BC - Bryan Burnham, Cal - Reggie Begelton, Edm - Trevor Harris (even with 5 games missed), Sask - Cody Fajardo, Wpg - Andrew Harris (will get through the Winnipeg vote despite the suspension) Ham - Brandon Banks, Tor - McLeod Bethel-Thompson edges out S.J. Green, Ott - Dominique Rhymes, Mtl - Vernon Adams Jr. Fajardo (sorry 17to85, he will get it) vs. Banks in the finals, Banks takes the prize MODP BC - Garry Peters, Cal - Tre Roberson, Edm - Vontae Diggs, Sask - Charleston Hughes, Wpg - Willie Jefferson (although Winston Rose would be a decent candidate in other years) Ham - Simoni Lawrence (although Ja'Gared Davis is a strong candidate too), Tor - Abdul Kanneh, Ott - Anthony Cioffi, Mtl - John Bowman (lifetime achievement award) Whomever of Roberson, Hughes and Jefferson (my choice by a hair) comes out of the west beats Lawrence in the final vote MOC BC - Lemar Durant, Cal - Cory Greenwood, Edm - Kwaku Boateng, Sask - Cameron Judge, Wpg - Andrew Harris Ham - Ted Laurent (name recognition over Tunde Adeleke's stats), Tor - Cleyon Laing, Ott - Brad Sinopoli (despite a really down year), Mtl - Henoc Muamba If Harris survives the PED vote of conscience, he is a lock to win. If not Judge vs. Laing (barely over Muamba) and give it to the 'Rider. MOOL How the hell should I know? It won't be a Lion, that's for sure. Bombers are probably in good given their rushing dominance. MOR I'll defer to 3downnation and their assessment: https://3downnation.com/2019/10/18/each-teams-top-three-candidates-for-most-outstanding-rookie/ I think Lawler may edge out Exume for the Bombers given his late season success, but the finals is likely Holley of Calgary vs. Acklin of Hamilton. Unless the Stamps finish 3rd in the west, I see Holley being the vote. MOST BC - Sergio Castillo, Edm - Sean Whyte, Cal - Terry Williams, Sask - Jon Ryan, Wpg - Janarion Grant Ham - Frankie Williams, Tor - Chris Rainey, Ott - Richie Leone, Mtl - Boris Bede Grant was the best for the time he played, but with only 11 games and few kick returns, I sense he will not make the final cut. It will be Williams vs. Williams with Frankie taking the win (and shout out to Chris Rainey for a strong 3rd place finish) Fatty Liver and blueingreenland 1 1
sweep the leg Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Mop: Banks (Burnham) Modp: Jefferson (Muamba) Moc: Harris (Muamba)
17to85 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 if harris can be voted MOC why on earth can't he be MOP? He is clearly the MOP in the west this year anyway. Noeller, Stickem and rebusrankin 3
Mr Dee Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 25 special team tackles! That’s something else!! rebusrankin, bigg jay, Wideleft and 4 others 5 2
rebusrankin Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Harris has been the most outstanding player in the CFL and should get the award. I have a feeling TSN and their constant Rider circle jerking will lead to Fajardo getting it. Tracker, Mr Dee, Stickem and 1 other 3 1

I can’t think of anybody else in the league who has matched his tenacity and work effort. Game in, game out. He has been more than impressive on almost every carry. At least all us Bomber fans know outstanding when we see it. Stickem and rebusrankin 1 1

Fatty Liver Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 For shame. David William Naylor ✔@TSNDaveNaylor The Winnipeg chapter of Football Reporters of Canada did not make Andrew Harris the @Wpg_BlueBombers nominee for outstanding player or Cannadian. Those went to Willie Jefferson and Mike Miller. Harris is therefore out of the running for both awards.#CFL #bluebombers rebusrankin and GCJenks 1 1

Noeller Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 You can tell me that I care too much about these things, but I am ******* SICKENED by the Winnipeg media, who wouldn't even give him the team nod. FFS! You know the guy...you know he didn't actually INTENTIONALLY ingest a performance enhancer. But you're gonna pull the TBurg and go way too far the other way just to look like you're not homers. Anyone who didn't vote for Harris should be embarrassed.... Blueandgold, bearpants, M.Silverback and 7 others 2 7 1

17to85 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 and I mean christ if it's not Harris then at least give it to someone at a skill position. Miller didn't even run away with the special teams tackles category, exume is right there with him. I personally would have given it to an OL in lieuof Harris, but honestly if not Harris it's probably best to give it to Demski. He was just shy of 700 yards from scrimmage. TBURGESS and rebusrankin 2
Mr Dee Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Errrr...stinking, no backbone media. Stand up and make a statement for ***** sakes. Bravo to Mike Miller for his press release. Noeller, rebusrankin, GCJenks and 1 other 4

JCon Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 So many part time media. As soon as the Jets start their summer warm ups, most of them leave. Noeller 1
TBURGESS Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 This shocks me. I fully expected the national media not to pick Harris, but I didn't expect he wouldn't be the team/Winnipeg Media choice. M.Silverback, Mr Dee, bearpants and 1 other 1 3

Sadly our locally "journalists" are useless.
M.O.A.B. Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Hopes this light more fire in Harris’ belly and have an insane performance in 3 consecutive games. Grey Cup is all the matters. JCon, BigBlueFanatic, NorthernSkunk and 2 others 4 1

Not exactly a lot of media who would be eligible - Bauming; Wyman; Irving; Hamilton; Friesen; McIntyre (?); Orlesky (?). So, somewhere between 6 - 10? Who am I missing? And they honestly thought Mike Miller was the top Canadian? Clearly a non support statement to Harris, but Miller? I could justify this if there was a close second. Like say an all star Canadian O-line like Goossen was last year. But a special teamer?! Not really even the team's best special teamer?! It's nuts. Really bad look local media.
