The Bombers will be releasing their nominees for the various CFL awards soon. Here are my picks.
Outstanding player-Olivera
Canadian-Olivera
Special teams-Castillo
Defensive Player-Tony Jones
Offensive lineman-Broxton
Rookie-Major Williams

My hardest choice was between Jones and Kramdi and I gave it to Jones because he did not miss any games

My hardest choice was between Jones and Kramdi and I gave it to Jones because he did not miss any games

No contest, Kramdi was born to be a coach, he played great his first game back against the Als but he spends a lot of snaps isolated in space but not getting involved in actual playmaking on most downs.

Younger and Kramdi may think they're re-inventing the wheel with flux positioning, but in the long run it falls short of the effectiveness of a standard defensive formation.

Kramdi has been in no man's land a lot

Offensive lineman-Broxton

Never in a million years.  Brox doesn't grade out too hot in my Tecno Takes.  You can tell he's still not used to passpro on the right side.  And his run-block Yoshi-roadgrading is still not great (though better).  It's part of the reason we can't move bodies when teams decide to stop Brady.

To me the guy who has screwed up the least (which is the best you're gonna get out of WPG OL this year) is Neuf.  So he'd be my vote.  And no way is he going to win squat vs the other powerhouse OLs in the West, let alone the league.

Too bad Singer didn't start earlier in the season or he'd give Major a run for his money.  Now Singer will be robbed of ever getting a chance at ROY.

Major Williams has been strong since the start of the season, off-hand I can't think of a CFL rookie that has made a bigger impact. Decent chance he gets offered NFL options and they lose him for half of next season. 

Thought Bonds would be back by now but probably going to be next TC or not at all.

No one knows the story on Bonds.  With Moxey out and other DBs a bit nicked, you would have thought he'd have been called up if his injury was clearing up.  He may be done/gonzo; or maybe Mafia doesn't agree with some of us that he could have become a good longer-term chess piece.

If Bonds was here right now that would spell Vaval, which would definitely be worth it.
