Nolby Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 After losing Alford,Rose was a very important signing. Alford played like a seasoned vet and losing him and then potentially Rose would've hurt that secondary. wbbfan, Noeller, rebusrankin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Rose is another prime example of a guy wanting to stay in Winnipeg I'll be very curious if we compete in free agency for any players if any of them will sign with us for lesser money because of our reputation. rebusrankin, wbbfan and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal optimist Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I get that BC is gonna load up the $$$ cannon for Lawler, but I think nothing shows better how BC treats their receivers like throwing Whitehead to the wolves and having him play against us with a busted up arm/hand when we played them in BC. Sometimes actions speak louder than words (or money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the team doctors turned a bit of a blind eye....but it wasn't like they dragged him out there. He very much wanted to get back to playing.

If that was the case I'd be questioning the coaching staff even more... in that situation, is a receiver with a busted up hand really your best chance to win the game? I get Whitehead wanting to go in - but unless they understated his injury or something - I'd be putting someone else in there. The guy has heart, no doubt - but sometimes you just have to go with the backup in my opinion. All that said though - I stand corrected, and thanks for the info.

That is a very specific gripe no I think that the franchise is drastically different than the one that lied to him. As i stated earlier new Owner, GM and coaching staff. The anger at BC this year would have been making it up considering all the people that screwed him are no longer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right but players routinely take less money to be a much better situation. Like Couture for example. 11 hours ago, Jpan85 said: If he can get BA Darby Bailey and Stove done man that would be amazing off-season I don't see Andrew Harris on this list. I don't think Stove is a priority because they have a adequate replacement on the cheap. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 What happened to Roosevelt? Guy didn’t see a single snap with the Bombers. I figured they would have had him in a few games near the end of the season. I know he was released but any chance he gets picked up this year by anyone? Looking at you Elks….

Wideleft Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Speaking of guys we've forgotten about, I wonder how well Mercy Maston's recovery went and what the appetite is to bring him back.

We talk about how good his MVP season was in 02 but he averaged 23 yards per reception for over 1100 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2005 with guys like Tee Martin at QB. He had 53 catches that season with 17 touchdown meaning essentially every third catch was guaranteed taking it to the house. wbbfan, Noeller, rebusrankin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
