Yeah ... not so much that as he liked what he saw enough to sign here. This wasn’t a guy that had no options. Very easily could’ve held out for a NFL opportunity.

rebusrankin Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hopefully the kids can play because it looks like Wolitarsky, Simonise and Peterman are going to get playing time right out of the gate. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great day they are gonna have a dog fight for 3rd spot. If two show reealllyy well maybe we keep one on the PR but it is very likely that one guy will be on the roster and two guys will be un employed. But then they will have virtually no shot at moving up from 3 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see him rotating on packages - sometimes with Flanders subbing and Wolitarsky at Field WR I doubt we see much of any of these WR picks unless absolutely desperate - maybe Simonise by game 8-9...

I think it will be wait until camp. If one of these guys shows well it could mean bad things for Coates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how you’re always trying to get creative here but I really doubt we’re going to be seeing LaFrance as a receiver. Sometimes the simple solution is the right one. We’ll be starting one of Wolitarsky, Simonise or Petermann. TBURGESS, Stickem, Goalie and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if LaFrance doesn't get a long hard look as a replacement for Flanders actually - maybe Dressler gets shifted out to field once in a while to give him a break from inside hits Pencilling in one of three raw rookies doesn't make a ton of sense to me - Simonise and Petermann both need work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonise not as pro ready as Chapman but he is at least worthy of a camp before we discuss whether or not he’s prepared to take regular season snaps. As for LaFrance taking Flanders’ spot ... that’s already what Demski is going to be doing ... so I guess prepare to be shocked. Dressler/Bowman/Demski are the guys we’re playing in the slot. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of why they used three picks on receivers in CFL Draft The Bombers have been at the receiving end of criticism for targeting so many receivers, and yet, it’s like they knew what they were doing..and we didn’t...again. We missed out on a couple of players defensively, but if the staff did their homework, and they did, then this draft will work out just fine.

sweep the leg Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I thought Wolitarsky was going to win the starting wr job in camp before Coates got injured. blue_gold_84, Bigblue204 and wpgallday1960 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not arguing that LaFrance will be our main SB - but I fully expect to see him as a RB/SB - the way we used Flanders... Wolitarsky has half a season and Simonise has been out of pro for almost a couple years... that's still 'raw' Don't get me wrong I have high high hopes for Wolitarsky/Demski/LaFrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Not a heck of a lot of objective information out there on Steveler, but the size (6'2" and 209lb) is CFL sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 With Lefevour gone our new 3rd string QB will have to be able to run the short yardage offense ...

But ya, six picks for one spot... A couple of years ago our Canadian receiver talent consisted of Kohlert and JFG. Those guys brought their lunch pails every day and gave us everything they had, but the upside was not super high. I have no issues with the resources we are throwing at improving our Canadian receiving depth, especially given the league-wide success rate of draft picks at that position. wbbfan, rebusrankin, WBBFanWest and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in an ideal world you have a second string qb who can come in and run the offense, hold the clip board etc and a 3rd who can hold on kicks, run the short yardage and maybe an option package.

M.O.A.B. Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) You can definitely project where are the NAT player will be slotted in the 44. and it's heavy on the Offense-side. Offence: 4 OL - Goossen, Chungh, Neufeld, Couture 4 REC - Demski, Wolitarsky, Simonise, Petermann 4 RB/FB - Harris, LaFrance, Miller, Rush *(poor Flanders but he'll have to wait for injuries to get playing time) Defence: 2 DL - Corney, Ekakitie 3 LB - Miles, Briggs, Gauthier 3 DB - Loffler, Jones, Branning INT DI could be: Medlock Roh a LB a DB Edited May 5, 2018 by M.O.A.B.
