2024-2025 CFL (non-Bomber) off-season discussion

Quote from: Jesse on May 31, 2025, 01:43:07 AMI'm still pretty adamant that Hamilton will remain a bottom-feeder.

I dunno. Obviously it all hinges on BLM. If he can get 2024 numbers without losing all the time, they could be big. I really don't want to face HAM in the GC though because I still feel a bit sorry for that fan base. Clearly I will want to kick their butts in that scenario, but I'll feel a bit guilty about it!

(Not BLM, I have zero love for him, but for the fans)

If BLM puts up big numbers, it's because the team is terrible again.

Wonder if Dave Dickensen was a bit offended by some of the negative things Mark Killam said about his time with the Stampeders?
(Got games mixed up)

I think the Elks qb situation is strange, a Grey Cup winner, second string to a guy has done nothing.

And some people are still trying to stir the controversy pot about the team name.

Two thrashings were just given to the Elks by the Stampeders.

Well the controversy about the name is a classic distraction tactic. Look at this awful thing that is being done to us instead of the awful way we are managing things.

There will be some Winnipeg-Hamilton plane/bus tickets sold this week... Goveia is watching the Bomber replays right now.

That's a good bet.

Hmmmm. I just read the Stamps may have an all new defence from 2024. I think there was only 1 player from 2024 that might retain his starting spot on the roster but even that was iffy.

They also mentioned they might be on the hunt for LB's. Maybe that's a way to deal with the excess of LB's we have if we don't find a way to keep and use them.

Also read that D. Houston is still a free agent. That's a surprise and perhaps his salary ask is too high for any takers?

Note: I'm not opposed to retaining all our LB's. I'm just not sure how we do it within the ratio and size of the roster. Yes we could 1 game IR somebody, but that's not a great way to manage these sorts of problems.
