Not true, based on the comment you just made.

I can see grant getting a decent nfl look, idk about whitehead. I think he's a year away from getting a serious nfl offer.

Paddy's back. I hope we got him for a good price ($125Kish). 68 starts in 9 years (162 regular season games) doesn't impress me much.

I dont think any one is getting big money right now.

I'd feel a lot better about losing Stove if we still had Nevis. Those two are just chaos in the middle....

I feel like the ability to turn up DL talent is extremely high for our front office. Id be happy to have any of the tackles weve had over the past 2 ish years.

Grant has been available to NFL teams since September no one has picked him up yet.

 

O'Shea's favorite guy.

I agree. Ellingson and Rogers are both gonna want higher end salaries. Also I soured on Rogers after he scored a TD at IGF and then went up into the fans to mock Bomber players doing that. I don't know how he didn't end up with spit on him after that.

Because Winnipeg fans have more class than that...

This isn't some weird conspiracy where I'm saying the opposite of what I mean. Me saying I don't care, actually means I don't care. Me responding isn't an admission of caring, it's to clarify any misunderstandings.

Briggs looked decent last year when he was filling in for Bighill

Yeah, spitting is for losers. We just throw snowballs and beer cans, run on the field to attack players, tear down TV broadcast tents.....

We didn't do any of that in 2020.

I dont see us carrying both on the roster with their limited special teams skill sets respectively. I think demski gets a bunch of carries as well as our returner di type of choice, while one of the 2 is rostered and gets some. If oliveira is healthy I dont see augustine stealing many reps. I also wouldnt be surprised if we brought in another ni back for camp.  Maybe more of a fb/te guy. 

I feel like every year we see more and more american style NI TEs available. This team certainly seems to value versatility, I could see a multi threat TE doing really well here. (sellers 2.0)

 

Augustine can run but is a terrible blocker. 

Glad to have Neufeld back in blue and gold. Keeping that O-line corps in tact is huge.

so basically we are starting the season with Bryant, Desjarlais, Couture, Neufeld and Hardrick as starters, and have Gray, Eli, Kolankowski and possibly Speller (all who have starter experience) battling for the back up spots...how can you not be pleased with that?

Hope they re-sign Exume. That guy is a beast in ST. 

If Richardson will not re-sign I wouldn't mind Drake Nevis back... or any of Almondo Sewell (wishful thinking) or Micah Johnson

Edited January 21, 20215 yr by M.O.A.B.

I would think Exume for Sure will be back..team loves him and he liked it here..lower priority, but a priority none the less..it will get done

Yeah but he may hope for the next TC. Im not sure on when that starts vs when our season starts right now. Hes really dangerous but im not sure hes what nfl teams want in a return man.

And maybe its the likely situation that when harris retires we go to a RB who can run but isnt the total package that harris is. But in a fringe NI rb, I expect to see good blocking. All that said, I would be thrilled if we got chuba hubbard in the draft and down the road he was the next feature back for us. But I really think hes gonna be in the nfl for a good while if not his career.

He really did, too bad he got hurt when he did.

Do they still have returners in the NFL? There are so few actual returns done, it seems like a waste.

Truth. I checked the league stats... most guys have more fair catches than return attempts, some twice as many..

Nice to see Diontae Spencer high on the list... tied for 1st PR TDs (1), 7th in PR yards, 2nd place avg. (among players with more than 5 attempts), and more PR attempts than fair catches (attaboy). His TD return was fearless

The pro bowl position is going to be renamed fair catch guy, then itll be replaced with side line ball boys.

I read somewhere that Speller is expected to go to Toronto. We still have very good depth, though.
