Can’t disagree with you. Walters didn’t go overboard in free agency & I can’t argue with the pieces he’s added. I do think if Muamba comes on board that would be huge for the Bombers.

All true and good points but like you said we have a large number of bodies on camp so at least they are trying to address an area of concern. I do agree with you as well that the offence will be improved this year, I also don’t hope it’s a case of “you score 40, we’ll score 50”.

While I understand the questions around the defence given a tiger can’t change it’s stripes. However at the same time I feel they have done some moves to try and correct the issues. Once again the west is anyone’s division and wide open to be won and we’re in for a great season in the CFL

Don’t disagree. Bombers are very good at creating turnovers. But it still disguises the fact that teams marched up & down the field on Wpg. The question is, as a DC, do you build your D around the hope that the other team makes a mistake? The majority of those turnovers result from mistakes by your opponent. But yes, some of those yards are accounted by the D attacking the ball & trying to create turnovers which may mean missing tackles & so on or breaking on a ball. I would rather make sure of the tackle first. Those are gambles & teams can take advantage of overly aggressive defences. Hard to keep doing that year to year. IN 2016, 59 takeaways, +49. Last year 42 takeaways, +14. Teams catch on.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying – ALexander & Walker were part of the problem IMO. But if having 19 DB’s on the current roster, 13 of them being imports, is any indication there is a whole lot of concern on your coaching staff about finding guys who can play. And wherever the weak links are it doesn’t get around the fact over 14,000 yards of offence were gained over your defence. If you have 4 All-Stars in your backfield & you’re playing only one rookie, it doesn’t really matter if he’s giving up all the yards. Teams are going to exploit your weak areas until you fix it. Calll it what you like, if the 3 All-Stars weren’t the problem you still HAD a problem. It’s a lot to ask your D to continue to produce turnovers. Those turnovers also play into your offence who benefits by field position a lot of times. If they dry up, it’s a double whammy. BTW I think the offence will be improved. Bowman is a good addition & so is Demski.

K, but you make it sound like turnovers are a fluke or somehow not a valid and good play by the D. I see it as a skill and tendency of a D. Maybe even PARTLY explains that other tendency: giving up the big play.

Yes 3 all star DB’s but to counter your point about giving up big yardage that was on the side opposite those 3 where we were playing rookies. I agree that we certainly gave up considerable yardage last year but it did worsen once we had lost Leggett so certainly scheme may have been part of the issue but I think personnel was a bigger issue. If Muamba was added for Okapalugo (sp) I would argue that we do add something, a ratio changing MLB while sacrificing a rotational DE as we have some depth behind him. What happens when the turnovers dry up? We that is a good question but I remember it being asked last year as well and we still produced a large number. I’ll agree that it is unsustainable to always expect that much but we certainly have the personnel to get them and evidently the scheme worked as well (for that aspect anyway).

Either way it’s March right now and a whole season to go. We have our question marks but so do other teams as well. Either way it’s shaping up to be a good 2018. Go Bombers!

I’m glad to see the hooked on phonics program we gave you is paying dividends…how else could you come up with the golden wordplay nuggets you dropped in your comment. Judging by this and other comments I’ve seen of yours I’m led to believe you’re the only one in mom’s basement here snowflake lol.

Just curious if you have any points to back your statements up or if you just like hearing your keyboard when you type and ramble nonsensocally?

I’m not worried about O’Shea as long as LaPolice is around. But yeah… worried about the D and their inability to keep the big play in check.

you poor, sad looser. I don’t blame you – taking random shots at people for no reason is likely the only way you can experience human interaction …it must be something like pleasure for you. What a horrible, ugly little world you must live in. I’ll keep a good thought for you… that you find some hope.
