Such a problem. 

Isn’t he out of football currently? Not often you see a 52 year old oc couple years removed from a gc out of football not by their choice is it? 
 
I like the guy as a person, as a football mind, and as a leader. I hope he sticks with tsn and they pay him really well. I’d love to see more of him and blm working together in the booth. I think you’d see some of the best and most interesting offensive football talk any where. 
 

 And I couldn’t be happier that he isn’t the oc here any more. And I’ll add, it is insanely hard to make your way as an oc in American or Canadian football with out playing qb at the highest level or coming up under a great lineage.  50 years from now nfl coaches will still be drawing their line back to Shanahan and Reid.

It's funny when someone lets someone they dislike live rent-free in their head. For years on end.

Is it really different than guys people love? That kinda goes hand in hand in all sports tbh. The worst thing to be is forgettable. Atleast if you are hated you’ll be remembered. No one is gonna remember the guys who play called by committee for us before or after worman. Or soo many ocs after that.

I'm just saying, when Paul lapolice is coaching your team you better have a damned good kicker because you will be kicking the ball a lot. 

You don't like it prove me wrong.

And a generational defense.

We didn't win the cup in 19 on the shoulders of Lapo...sorry but we won despite his work as an O.C

Great guy...good coach...but not sure how/why he got the accolades he did...case in point 2021 and 2022 without him...can you say Lapo who? I sure can

That was 2021. The 2019 D was lights out in the playoffs...but they didn't become generational until 2021 imo.

I think you’re forgetting the record for defensive turn overs in back to back years. We scored a crazy amount of defensive tds too in 18/19.

I thought there were murmurs that he might give it another go

Who cares?

Bombers signed this guy:

Bombers also signed an olineman. I thought the combines were only for players that were eligible for the upcoming draft.

Looks like a big physical wr. Very much in the mold we usually look for.

Exactly, We don't need Meredith. So, why even mention him? He couldn't crack the roster now even if he wanted to come back.

Nobody said we needed him.. was just a random thought I had... about a former bomber... on a bomber forum...

Well said Cody, agree with your comment...

It was a totally fair question..... and tbh, I'm getting tired of Al coming in here once a week and dropping turd sandwiches for no reason. Nothing but negativity bombs once per week then gone again... oi vey.

I'm not. Those years the Defense was good. In the playoffs very good! But not generational. There's a good chance this year's D can be just as good as the 2019 defense. There's no chance it will be as good as the 2021 defense. In fact, I'd bet good money we will never see a defense like that in our lifetime.

2019 playoff D was an entirely different animal than 2019 regular season defense.

That was the start of what would become the best defense the CFL has ever seen!!

[rebusrankin]

I know they are essentially promo puff pieces for the club but i like these pieces about various players we have signed.

That’s my favourite axiom in all of sports.

Couple roster changes and philosophical changes past mid way really paid off. Also the offense getting a lot better keeping the d off the field helps. I think you can go back pretty far in the mafia era and find defenses that would be best in the league or better with less time on the field. 
 I miss those 5 forced turn overs per game days though.

With the size disparity I think you see that flag a lot more than if they are close in stature. That was like a dad pushing off in a father son game. “Here son have a seat”

I am surprised I haven't seen more of this video on the Bombers' socials. Cool recruitment video from Strevy, Alford and Schoen.
