Atomic Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Mark F said: Briggs college "tape". Tait: “Right from his (Briggs) rookie year he’s as smart as they come,” said O’Shea. “He sees it or hears it once and he knows it. He’s extremely fast, he’s strong, he’s a very good football player. He’s probably deserved more of an opportunity over his last bunch of years than we’ve given him. This was a guy who had the fastest 40 time among linebackers in his draft class. The Bombers traded up to get him in the second round. He and Thomas Miles are the only LBs left in the CFL from that 2014 draft. I'm not saying he's going to be a superstar but I love that he is finally getting a chance to prove what he can do on defence. wbbfan, Fatty Liver, Noeller and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Tracker said: I believe it was on 1290 radio when the signing was announced. If memory serves, the comment was that Jefferson in Regina had the freedom to go where he wanted and the rest of the front 7 had to compensate. There was speculation as to whether he would still be given the same license with he Bombers. That’s not freelancing though ... freelancing suggests he plays outside the game plan and doesn’t follow his assignments, whereas having the freedom to do that (if true) would be part of the game plan.

Geebrr Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Willie Jefferson is not a concern at all. I will say the only bright spot to Biggie getting a (hopefully) minor injury is WJ may feel comfortable grabbing that leadership role. WJ had a very good game against Edmonton I think he really steps up tomorrow Edited July 5, 2019 by Geebrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 He said he did not free lance on his own is Sask either Jones just gave him some freedom to do things within the system if he saw an opportunity to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I don't know why anyone has concern about Jefferson. While he may not have the numbers his play has been solid and he's really contained the QB and pushed him towards Jeffcoat who has something like 12 hurries already. No concerns at all about him. Only guy on D who is on the radar is Fenner and that's about it. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Fenner cuts out the penalties he'll be OK. That's the biggest issue with his game right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Fenner was good. Thought a few of those calls he took the first 2 weeks were a bit.. Ticky tacky. 17to85, Mark F and JCon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was good against BC, but at least could get why people were down on his night. I thought he was fantastic against the Esks and could not believe people were down on his night. So now I gotta drive the bus and he is getting the highlight reel plays so it will be easier. I honestly think Biggie being out gave him the space to lead the D, and he found a comfort zone with that. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word gets around fast and players and coaches are looking for the Bomber week on their schedules and grimacing. Everyone wants Toronto, no one wants to be smashed in the mouth by Winnipeg. Oh, there's some false bravado out there. No doubt. But let's be serious. That's just reality and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
