I don't get it. Yesterday he makes the team and now he's released. Did he ask for his release? Or is it too expensive to keep two kickers? unfortunate though. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Whether it means anything or not, after yesterday’s cuts the total number of Internationals on offence on the active roster who are original Walters finds is four. And it’s not a particularly impressive group (Foketi, Bennett, Streveler and Thompkins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally heard nothing about him during camp or the games, except for his crack back penalty last night. Not sure what they see in him over guys like White and Coney that actually stood out at times. I'm still amazed that was a penalty... I get when it's way behind the play, it's dangerous... buy the guy he hit was still very much in the chase to get the runner... I didn't see anything other than a good block... I thought one of Tompkins or Randle would make the team but I was a little surprised it was Tompkins... they both showed the ability to win a one on one battle for a td... that's a skill we desperately will need with a rookie (ish) qb chucking the ball...

Last year that play was legal but this year it's not. A player can no longer be upfield then come back towards the line of scrimmage to block like that. Here's the change in the rule: illegal for any player to deliver a forcible block on an opponent while moving back towards his own goal line, sometimes referred to as “blindside” blocks.

And it’s not a particularly impressive group (Foketi, Bennett, Streveler and Thompkins) It's not a huge number but since we are going more Canadian on offense, there's less need/room for imports on that side of the ball this season. Other than Lankford, is there another import on offense you could see getting replaced by a rookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s not a particularly impressive group (Foketi, Bennett, Streveler and Thompkins) Sometimes, maybe most of the time, veterans from other teams deliver more value than raw rookies who have such a huge learning curve ahead of them ... isn't Bighill a better acquisition than training Gause? I think Walters has finally figured it out what Cal Murphy knew for years: veterans are better than rookies. We were able to pick a bunch of BC guys when there was a rush for the door and we got the pick of the litter in at least 3 cases. Now if we can just convince Bond to be reasonable and remember there is no place like home or should I say the system and playbook you have personally mastered ... Bond obviously had trouble with Regina's playbook and the playmates beside him ... he will have to adjust wherever in the league he goes .... I guess a more modest paycheque from home may be more in the long rum than the allure of big but sometimes temporary money being dangled before a youngster's eyes.

In my view, Walters' strengths have been as follows: 1. International OL: in previous years, you wondered why they bothered burning an import spot 2. Effective Young Canadians: Chungh, Goossen, Loffler, Demski 3. High impact FA acquisitions: Harris, Bowman, Dressler, Medlock, Bryant TheSource, MOBomberFan, rebusrankin and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
