I think Nevis is underrated and the coach seems to love him. Spoke well of him in one interview during TC. He made the team before this second preseason game SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Glad they kept Richardson....the guy is a bull rushing beast....Nevis makes the grade again...I thought with his late fa signing he had ideas of going elsewhere...No real surprises although I thought McAllister would have hung around....Guess he thinks another club will give him a shot...Tough call on letting him walk or Choudja for sure SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKAChip Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Letting McCallister go will be a mistake akin to us letting Shaq Richardson go a few years ago. Sometimes you have to wonder what more guys need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 4 hours ago, AKAChip said: It’s like saying you’ll cut Matthews because Lawler played better in two preseason games. Even if it’s true, they serve completely different purposes. Neither Petermann or Schrot will ever be a great WR. They are pure slot guys. If Matthews or Adams go down, we literally have no one to replace either of them other than pushing Wolitarsky back outside. All the import guys who have performed well in camp are slots. Pretty sure Whitehead would be the first to go in if an American receiver goes down. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if we brought in Coombs though now that we are down to just Petermann.

M.O.A.B. Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Also take note. there's one spot left on PR, so maybe Walters is waiting for a good pickup from other teams' garbage. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Also notable from the moves Saturday: – Two players who made at least one start were released in Corey Washington (three starts) and Tyneil Cooper (five games played). – Tariq Lachance, a sixth-round pick this year, was released. Of the club’s nine 2019 draft picks, seven are on the squad or practice roster: OL Drew Desjarlais (1st round, 4th overall); DL Jonathan Kongbo (1/5); RB Brady Oliveira (2/14); DL Connor Griffiths (3/25); OL Tui Eli (4/34); DB Nick Hallett (7/61), and DB Kerfalla Exumé (8/70). https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/06/08/45-man-roster-set-ahead-opening-week/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geebrr Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Our WR corps is stacked. Disappointed about McCallister (I wonder if the late major penalty played a role) Brandin Bryant bring cut is a surprise, but I thought Richardson was a challenger to take a DT spot when we signed him ( I thought Nevis was the higher salary so more in jeopardy).

Mr Dee Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 *Seven of this year's nine draft picks are either on the roster or PR. *I like what they did for PR players. My only preference would have been keeping McCalister somehow. On Mathews, I’d say yes, for the one game anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
