Choosing a DMOP off this team is like choosing which playboy playmate has the least pointy elbows.

They have elbows?

I roll my eyes at Jeff's ballot....I understand why Willie Jefferson is great, but by his standards, he had an average year. If you were going that route, I'd vote Jeffcoat over him all day. 

IMO this is Jefferson's best season, not statistically but in terms of overall play.  He's not a liability at all anymore.  Teams would run at him like crazy in Sask and in 2019 and he struggled quite often.  He's been all over it this year and I think he's really bought in since re-signing.  Way less freelancing, realized he doesn't have to swing for the fence every down.

I don't know.  Hard to not have the best QB on the league on the MOP ballot regardless of what anyone on D did.  There's a D award, MOP is basically best offensive player unless your O is really ass like Ottawa or Edmonton.

that's fair....QB of the secondary deserves big consideration. 

Every one looks at how good we've been since collaros took over. But look how much better our d got when ba came back and moved to s. We went from a good d to an all time great d. If I could co modp ba and biggie I would.

He's been great, but that move was big time addition by subtraction. Got rid of poopy Hecht and his undeserved inflated ego.

Do yourself a favour, do not check his twitter. The guy is dumber than he is slow. So glad he's not around this year.

I remember watching him trying to 'coach up' some of the DBs during a 2019 loss to Hammy - when the explosion plays were clearly on him.

I may have missed this in the chat but did anyone see 3downs insider talks. Somebody said bombers went off to begelton and offered more money than Calgary. 

 

That's interesting in a number of ways 

[Geebrr]

I would put zero stock into any of those. 

But, if he took less to go to Calgary he will soon regret it. If he doesn't already.

I don't think Chung is great fit in BC. Bombers oline plays to his strength be mean and aggressive more run blocking plus having All-star level talent on either side of him would help.

And for that, he's one of the highest paid failures in the CFL.

It will be very hard for Leonard to beat Bighill out considering he wasn’t even our nominee for defensive player. 

Oops my bad....doesn't really matter what sacrificial lamb you guys were rolling out though. We have 5 D players this year that are more worthy than anyone on the Riders.

I think that Hodge's definition of "CFL insider" is pretty loose. Probably heard some goof at 7-11 say it.

Lol remember how many people thought Naaman came here to start?

He's obviously past his prime 

[SpeedFlex27]

They signed Namaan Roosevelt but passed on Kenny Stafford. I'd have liked them to have signed Stafford to push Darvin Adams who has clearly lost either his edge or desire to play. He did score a TD last game but his head was in the clouds otherwise. No idea what's up with him.  They say he has a shoulder issue...

If you saw him going at it with Mtl #1 at near the end of that last game... he definitely hasn't lost his edge... maybe lost a step or two, which tends to happen as you get on the wrong side of 30...

[Geebrr]

Watch him sign with Calgary or Suckskatchewan

Stafford has been dumped by so many teams. They didn't like him here and I'm not sure why everyone would want a "me first" type guy back. 

[Goalie]

Stafford I feel doesn't fit with the #FIFO mantra 

Same with walker

Or Adams has accepted his role as blocker/decoy and 4th or 5th target and is quietly going about his business as a leader and team player.

He'll burn you as soon as you let him. Meanwhile, he's going to block and distract opponents.

Then drop the pass. 

The Bombers have been in on a bunch of fa wrs this year. I think the team is ready to move on too. Especially the wrs we've been in on the last half of the season.

Imagine thinking a mediocre journeyman receiver would've pushed a proven veteran receiver in a depth role.

Who is the proven guy? if you go back 3 years for success you find a whole lot of long gone or done proven guys. 

I dont think rosie was brought in to push adams though. Adams I dont think was very healthy at that point, demski got hurt and bailey was struggling. But since then Demski has been healthy, bailey has been a monster (I swear the day rosie arrived was the last day bailey struggled) and lawler has continued to be a monster. 

If rosie being here pushed even just bailey and got the best out of him, it was a great move.

Not based on last game.

Not many at all?  Most people were unsure about Bailey and were not fans of McKnight and thought a veteran receiver who has played above average for his whole career would make a better option.      Bailey elevated his game so why not go with the younger cheaper option with potential upside?
