Quote from: Tecno on November 30, 2025, 08:25:06 AMI don't know. I stand by my assessment that he was improving at a good pace, week to week and YoY. Bridges & Lawrence were weaker, and Bridges was axed and Lawrence was off the AR by year end. Bridges was the one they really picked on.
The did test Bonds a fair bit too but I think he started to dissuade them from thinking that's he was a freebie.
Bonds knows the system well, been here 2 whole seasons, started a ton of games, and at 29 should have some tread left. If we scout a new D.Alford then ya, Bonds is likely the guy on the bubble, but if we don't, we need the starter-capable guys -- even if they are going to sit on 6GIR a while.
Also depends on whether Lawrence is back.
Quote from: BBRT on November 30, 2025, 04:02:45 PMThe one I remember was when BC was at the top of their game. They had Roy Dewalt as their QB and the leagues best RB (just can not remember his name).
They came to the Peg and the Bombers ran a 3-4 defense for the first time that I can remember. Our LB's were James West, Ty Jones and not sure who the 3rd and 4th LB's were. They made DeWalt's day a nightmare as no one was really familiar with how handle a 3-4 (4 LB's) defense. I remember one specific play where James Wild Wild West stacked Dewalt in his own end zone.

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on November 30, 2025, 03:44:23 AMInteresting read, provides some background to the $400k SMS bump that arrived just before TC. It sounds like a lack of harmony exists between the CFL and the CFLPA currently.

Quote from: Tecno on November 30, 2025, 08:19:48 AMAll true, but like you said, off-SMS so really the $$ doesn't matter at all. He was probably close to ELC anyhow, and no one will steal him in his current state. There's precedent for re-signing a guy like this.
