Feel like that time is coming sooner rather than later Barrington Wade was justed signed yesterday. 6 foot 1, 232 pounds. Was on the Bombers' neg list for awhile. Spent time on the Broncos' practice roster and got into 4 games in 2021. Was released by Denver at the end of Aug last year.

He’s an insane athlete for an nfl lber. He is freakishly strong and plays like he’s 260lbs. Hes definitely on the list of guys I’m excited to see. His experience on teams he could be a di for us out of the gate. Edited May 6, 2023 by wbbfan Dr Zaius, Noeller, Mark F and 6 others 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Barrington Wade is one name off our neg list I’m very happy to see us sign 19 hours ago, 17to85 said: Just come out and say you'd cut rose... because other than him it's only Alexander that is not young. I didn’t say I would cut Rose. I said I wonder if they’ll consider getting younger. Darby is an option too. They’ve always got huge competition in camp for DBs, so you never know.

They were sloppy against Calgary and even worse in the Cup game. The Argo QBs were not the best in the league but they still lit up the Bomber secondary.

But Darby plays SAM which to my knowledge requires a bit more experience and physicality to play than a corner. Still an option tho, you're right.

CodyT Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Man I love going to training camp. I'll make it to a few time slots. Nothing like the quiet stadium with the sun beaming down and watching the competition. One of my favorite times of the year.

With Barrington now in the fold....and that Beckett...and the incumbents I am a bit more at ease now too with the linebackers which was my big concern...and the Dline has some nice rotational parts now to sift thru to ease the load on the Jeffs, and get us back to that lethal dline rotation....that was the biggest thing that hurt us last yr...we didnt have roster depth, or makeup to do that pretty much all yr...especially when we traded away Wilcotts and turfed Mack....said right from get go the Loss of Kongbo and Hansen at start of the yr was gonna hurt us big time and mare than loss of Adams..Harris..Lawler...even Stove....and it did Piggy 1, Noeller, Bigblue204 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes sack totals can be deceiving though. Sometimes a guy is high up in the stats because his defence is on the field way too much.
