Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on October 05, 2026, 07:36:49 PMMost Bomber Globals other than kickers sat on the PR until they get cut, Hansen has been the exception.

For the Bombers but not around the league.

Argos drafted Soane Toia in the 2nd round of 2025. He's a DL with 26 DT's this season.

Quote from: Blueforlife on October 05, 2026, 07:24:42 PMComplaining about Hansen when he stuffed a 3rd and short is about as short sited as it gets. He is a beast, he came on the AR and made an immediate impact. Yes he is old. He is also effective on teams and can rotate a bit on the DL.facts are presented above

Your alternative facts maybe.

Shay was probably scheduled to take over for Gauthier on short yardage. But, to date Shay has 4 STs in 15 games and does get on the field on D.

Cadwallader has been filling Gauthier's role fairly effectively and has made a few good stops from the LB position. Hansen is playing front line, best I can tell he's taken on Jake Thomas's role as the submariner.

Nope, Hansen made a big impact and you are questioning the decision about him joining the club, his stuff on 3rd and short, role on short yardage and his physically are the facts that a couple of us are referencing and previously presented. Nice try. No alternative facts were presented by myself or others.

Hansen was great last time he was here and appears to be the same this round. A good example of getting better by a cheap addition. A glue guy that is also ace in the room no doubt. Will set the example for next gen. Takes all types to win.

Sounds like someone needed a new whipping boy to complain about and got caught in the process. That's ok, that's why the forum is here, we talk it out LOL.

Thanks to TLB for the deeper dive on this one, sounds like we are on the same page on him.

Now can he make an impact if on the AR the rest of the way. That's the question and will father time catch up with him? Brady can invite him over for therapies LOL.

Can't wait to see MOS and his weekly long list of Did Not Practice & Questionable.

Quote from: Blue In BC on October 05, 2026, 07:04:11 PMI understand it perfectly. It's a systemic problem with MOS bringing back older vets that we should be moving on from. Earlier he brought back Oyelolo.

Hansen will be 34 in December. He last played in 2025. He shouldn't be on our roster in 2027.

A global player that only plays ST's ( aside from a kicking role ) is wasted spot at the expense of a Canadian. The Argos added a global player as their 2nd global and he has 23 DT's in his 1st season.

I don't get the fascination with Hansen. We have many ST players that are sitting on the PR or IR. There is no room for him next year.

Our ST's have generally had a good year with the exception of a couple of plays in a couple of games.

The fascination with Hansen is that he make a highlight film tackle in the 2019 Grey Cup. Then one nice play last week so he's a "beast".

Yes he made one good play. He hasn't been a beast since 2019 when he was drafted. I already had several whipping boys and didn't need another one: K.Wilson, Nichols ( maybe ) Cobb and Neild are at the top of my list.

He is the defensive equivalent of Tommy Nield, makes one big play years ago and everyone is waiting for the next big play that never comes. We are wasting time with both, and need to move on from both

Understating his contributions and value to sell your narrative. Role players are important. Seen you dump on these types of players before. Not all Stegals and Charlies. The grinders also help win championships. They are also cheap lol.

I wouldn't bring those 4 back.

Tecno · October 05, 2026, 11:45:13 PM

Say what you want about Hansen, but in one game back he's having a huge impact. Compare with shay who has dressed all year and done a sum total of nothing.

Or any of the other bubble bottom 3 st guys.

And Hansen has been playing football this whole time, just in other leagues around the world we don't hear about. Clearly some of you don't watch the bb pressers.

Yeah I agree, dumping on a guy that can come on the roster and immediately impact the game and contribute is a little much. Lots to be grumpy about in Bomberland, he is something to celebrate. Great perspective bud.

He's played one game. Talk about over valuing an individual? Yikes.
