To-Cats a the CFL's gain.....our loss, however it was just a matter of time.   I wonder if they offer McManus the job here to keep him from jumping ship to Hammy? 

I believe McManus lives in Venice, Fla. and has no interest in moving elsewhere - Winnipeg or Hamilton.  That may limit his opportunities.  The Bombers have found a way of making that work but others may not.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers re-sign offensive lineman Chris Walker
December 4, 2024 Michael Heilman

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers re-signed offensive lineman Chris Walker on Wednesday according to the CFL Transactions page.

Chris Walker is six foot six and weighs 304 pounds. The 26-year-old from Lincoln, Nebraska, went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed Walker on October 8, 2024. He spent several weeks on the practice squad before the Blue Bombers released him on November 16, 2024.

Collegiately, Walker played four seasons at Nebraska (2018-21) playing both offense and defensive making one tackle (1 solo) in six games for the Cornhuskers. Then, he transferred to Montana (2022-23) playing left tackle in 28 games for the Grizzlies.

In 2023, Montana's offense had 2,967 passing yards and 2,652 rushing yards. They finished third in the nation and first in the Big Sky in first down offense this season, moving the chains 297 times while outscoring opponents 454-258. He was named an All-Big Sky Honorable Mention.

If you ever noticed Bluto's hands on Bonfire Sports his hands are a mangled mess.   Can't imagine any OL or DL wearing their nails long for fear of having them ripped off (extremely painful and slow to heal).   It was a fluke type of injury but the timing couldn't have been any worse.   Wilson nearly was picked and for the life of me I'm not sure why they didn't run Brady instead of gambling that Wilson with little to no completions, would throw a strike on his first two pass attempts.  I'm sure Brady was thinking the same thing and he had been racking up the yards albeit TO may have loaded the box and dared the Bombers to pass.    The first one should have been a pick by Franklin in the end zone and we were lucky to get 3 points....however we could have taken the lead as opposed to being down a point late in the game.

Wishing Buck all the success in the world however I think it would be a mistake IMHO, for him to take on HC and OC duties.....especially as a rookie HC.

He seemed to have a really high football IQ and has the physical ability to make an impact. As the season progressed and he got more playing time he came into his own. He can play at MLB or WIL which is an advantage in any choice.

Hard to tell, he's receiving signals for each play from the sidelines, haven't noticed him directing other players like Bighill does, but that's asking way too much for a first year player.

If he takes McManus, that would really hurt...  he deserved the gig though, well done.

Great teams get raided for talent all the time....

That would require a full explanation of why Danny is leaving.
