Mr Dee Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Good point. It’s not as if we haven’t been saying “Grey’s going to be here this year, I hope” anyways.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray, iirc, said he never had that NFL dream because he never thought it was a possibility until a couple years ago so he might not be one of those types of guys. I could see him coming up here sooner rather than later but would not fault him for exhausting all his NFL opportunities before doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 2 hours ago, wbbfan said: Yes. This is the kind of guy you break the bank for. Drop a imp DE, drop wild, lots of places to save money. Flip loffler to another team, slide mo to S, play fenner at sam start gray. Does he start right away? I mean with hardrick out and the OL struggling last week its a good time to slip him in. Idk if we do though. I could see our management easing him in over a few weeks. Is he seriously good enough to replace Hardrick right out of the blocks? I kind of doubt it, I think it would take him a good year of playing experience to begin to match the skill level of a vet. import O.T. even if he has all of the physical tools to excel.

Geoff struggles on the left side - he would have to take over for Chung, or more likely Hardrick. It would sure be nice to have a Travis Bond type of player to insert at LG in that scenario though.

BomberBall Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Mike Sawatzky @sawa14 Darren Gill, the agent for Canadian OL Geoff Gray, says his client will wait to clear waivers later today and ponder his NFL options this weekend before making any decisions about CFL. Gray, released by the #Browns, was the #Bombers' eighth-overall pick in the 2017 draft. blue_gold_84, TBURGESS, JCon and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that for certain...I believe he was getting looks at left guard in camp...so he may have improved those struggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueingreenland Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 1. Do we need him this year? 2. Whose roster spot would he take, if he came here? -He would be nice for the future, assuming we could then start 4 Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray would step in at RT quite easily I think... just seems like a guy who can learn on the fly and excel quite quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about oline cohesion? I've been led to believe that cohesion is just as important to an oline as raw talent. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
