Did Noah come back? I remember he had a bad injury and was injury released. We are deep at kick cover safety’s that’s for sure. I wonder if we try to move exhume (if he’s back) or Kelly to Sam to back up Kramdi. 2 hours ago, Geebrr said: I’m not sure how we got to a point where Dru Brown is anywhere near as reliably good as Collaros. It is debatable whether Masoli will be ready to play a snap this year. Potential doesn’t out rank proven. I’ll go with our guys and hope Barriere can show something to stick around. OL has : Bryant and Richmond at Tackle Neufeld; Eli; Dobson at Guard Kolankowski and Eli at Centre Without doing anything else that is the best starting six in the league. I’m good with what is taking place in those areas. didn’t say he did, last word masoli was coming back and well on track. That’s an incredible amount of talent ott has at qb. And more young guys with experience than you can shake a stick at. It isn’t though. Especially not with the lack of continuity having reps together. 2 hours ago, bustamente said: I wonder if the Bombers are considering going Canadian at safety. Hope not. None of our Ss are guys who can cover that much ground and make plays in the pass game. If ford comes back that’s a great spot to flip. Other wise I’d go after an ni lber but we won’t.

I'd like to see Ford ..Kramdi or player X who is Canadian battle for that spot and best player get it ..not who's been here longer or who "works hard" in practice...as they should all be or they should be gone. If Holmie is back he's your safety ..we don't need a heavy hitter there...need a guy to track and close on balls in the air. Work with 3 online and Demski and Woli as your nationals on offense...A Canadian SAM and a Canadian rotating on the DLine...

Exactly. You can't give him the best money that's out there. Not when so many other have taken discounts to help the team. He's going to have to accept at the very least slightly less then whats being offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) 2 hours ago, Booch said: every damn spot should be up for competition...and if it isn't and best player gets it, then something is seriously flawed...nothing should be given in football...it has to be earned..then maintained It would be cool to line up the depth chart for a week in May, set up a ring at midfield and everyone fight to see who survives in helmets and shorts. But everyone knows that isn't how it works. There's a handful of rookies/discards fighting for how ever many spots are left, coaches monitoring their habits, fit into team and pretty much everything else is locked in. This isn't only in this sport or this level. Everyone is preparing to play games. Not replacing half their roster the week before the season. Opportunity knocks when it does. Guys get chances to play due to injury or poor performance, work onto roster, work into roles. The major roster movement happens this time of year. If it's happening in May to November the team is probably ****** from the jump.

GCn20 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 3 hours ago, Mike said: I’m torn because I don’t really know what any of it looks like and I don’t really know what our approach is going to be short term vs long term. I won’t lie and say I’m a huge believer in Zach at this stage of his career and I certainly don’t believe Streveler is a better pure backup than Dru, but I do have hope that Streveler will bring an element to our offense that will help Zach. It’s a lot of moving parts. I think if it plays out how I expect it to, I’d want Zach over Dru at this point, but I’m scared that we are going to be in serious trouble at some point if Strevy hasn’t evolved as a passer. Kinda feel the same but am confident that if we do get into trouble that Walter's will get us out. Therefore, I want ZC over Brown because he is still our best shot at winning the Grey Cup. 3 hours ago, Mike said: Richmond in for Hardrick is probably one of the easiest decisions we can make as a team. People are going to question the effect it may have on the locker room, but if those guys don’t rally around a guy like Richmond finally getting his shot after being on the PR for 4 years (especially with him being about as stand up of a guy as it gets) then that’s on them I think Strev is a big locker room add that would help offset the loss of Yoshi as well. That being said I want Yoshi back but not with any significant raise. If that means Richmond I can live with that no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
