    Who are the players we've cut that have gone on to other teams in the CFL and become relevant? You've mentioned Fredrick, again a position that has always been solid under this regime. And MBT...who outside of last year was mediocre and if we had kept him may have been a reason to not sign Collaros. (lot of assumptions there, but still). 

    I genuinely don't see the issue that you're stating. Bombers have 2 players starting on their Oline (top 2 in the league last year and this) who were cut from teams. 1 who has been in the running for MOOL the last couple of years. Grant was cut by Hamilton. Collaros had essentially been given up on by multiple teams. Lawler was released by BC before finding his way here. Etc etc etc. Pretending it doesn't happen else where is weird. Give me 1 name  Bombers have cut during TC that have made even a slight impact...not even remotely close to the impact of the players I just mentioned. 1 player from the Bombers who has been cut that's currently top 5 in their position group on another team. I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of anyone.
     

    Wasn't MBT only with the Bombers way back in 2016? 

    How is what happened 7 years ago relevant to today at all?

    they have had him vacated from the middle lots....moved up closer to the box....not sure why...but thats one reason...and also a reason it seems we been geting gouged in intermediate plays in middle of the field

    Just let him play safety. 
    Makes for an easy read in the red zone if no one is in the middle of the field. 

    Overall I think the secondary all look like they are trying to cover too much ground and not trusting the others to be in their spots. Not that surprising since they haven’t all played together all that long.

    speed is just one part of the package....Most pro db's should be in the 4,4 to 4.6 range so really not much of a barometer for greatness

    ans yeah I got that vibe too...sure he recovered and made a play on a couple deep balls, but they make it seem like he baited them...which wasn't the case...If BLM had any deep ball touch left in that noodle he would have been torched for 3 TD's most likely...2 for sure and another long gainer.

    Give him credit he played the ball and Doosh Williams on that one jump ball where he fell and hurt his hiney...but I think everyone and their dog now just gloming onto some pre-season comments and now trying to make a big story out of it....I hope he is this great be all end all player...but I doubt it and dont see it....Nichols aint going nowhere...Pretty sure Parker would have been the game 1 starter if not hurt...Dude is a tackling machine....and now we have Muhamed....he will be in tough to keep that starting gig when all guys are healthy, but that being said he adds to solid depth with the the whole stable of guys we have, and we know that if needed he shouldnt kill us out there with ineptitude

    To me it looks like Holm is a good cover guy out in space with the speed and ability to play the ball on deep shots. Might lack the physicality to be the ideal guy you want up closer to the line of scrimmage. Parker looked great playing the run and tackling. Could be a SAM candidate at some point.
