bluedawg Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 2 hours ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Ronnie Brown out of Sheperd is a pretty nuts D2 guy too Bombers have signed for camp. Senior season,8.5 yards per carry , 9 100 yard rushing games, 3 200 plus yard rushing game, exactly 3000 all purpose yards 24 total TDs in 15 games, so 200 yards per game average. Junior season 9 ypc too with fewer touches. Not big, not fast but fast enough 4.6 range but did everything. Runs routes too, not just static receptions, catching on the run, downfield. https://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?PlayerId=1091983&DraftYear=2023 Ronnie Brown was actually really fast at his Pro Day (4.46) with an insanely good 4.00 short shuttle time (which is a good measure of start and stop quickness and ability to change direction fluidly) JCon and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedawg Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Ronnie Brown and Chris Smith are both exciting additions to the RB room whether or not Brady is back Bigblue204, rebusrankin, Goalie and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedawg Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 My 2 cents on the Yoshi leaving for 120K signing and 460k over 2 seasons is that he is a good player and SSK felt that it was in their best interest to overpay for a shot at 2 years of all-star production. It could help sure up their biggest weakness and also hurt us to win-win for them and the extra cash is worth it to them and necessary to get anyone to move to Regina. Also I bet SSK isn't done making big-time signings I bet they will go all-in this year and will maybe try to poach another one of our players. Hopefully Demerio or Winston.

That’s like running a sub 4.2 40. His 3 cone is elite all his numbers in that pro day are exceptional. 10’3 broad, 37 vert 15 reps is really impressive at his size. It’s rare to find football players with that kind of speed/quickness and that kind of pound for pound strength. 15 reps of 225 for a guy whose 190 is fantastic. That’s as good as a dl putting up high 30s imo Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_fanaddict Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Interesting that they have signed a few American RBs in Smith and Brown. Wondering if they go back to an American RB? I know we still have Augustine but we would need a good Canadian back up for him. And if they do go American at RB where do we sub out for a Canadian? This of course is all a moot point if Brady comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This of course is all a moot point if Brady comes back. Augustine is not an option to start. And it doesn't necessarily mean anything yet, as we always bring in RBs for TC. And we have to at least prepare for if Brady isn't there. Noeller, Bigblue204, rebusrankin and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This of course is all a moot point if Brady comes back. we would likely go demski, woli, Nuef, Eli and one of Dobson or Kolo on offence, and Lawson and Canadian at SAM or field side corner, especially with Ford back. so Import RB is really no affect on ratio. I would even be okay with BOLO as a 3rd starting Canadian receiver and allow us to just declare 1 National on defense, and be able to go all import on dline....with the addition of an explosive RB....Possibility of Strev in with ZC our offense will be damn hard to gauge and keep contained, and we would be fielding a stronger defense rebusrankin, Piggy 1, wbbfan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love it if we also look at a beefy imp power back or two. Run rb by committee would guy or two who can return and pass catch and a guy who can punish defences block etc. grant is such a beast. I’ve always wanted to see the bench be a body weight bench for each guy as well. Be damn hard to find a 300lbs lineman who is as proportionally strong. That’d be like a 380+ bench reppped 22 times for one of our ol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Houston sucked and I said it early in the season. For every big play be made he would give up one or two big plays in return. He was the guy getting burned frequently on the deep balls. I'd much rather they bring in someone else to compete. wbbfan, Goalie, rebusrankin and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyAbonny Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Brandon Barlow to the Ticats. Low-key great signing by them. Speaking of Ticats DL, we’ve talked Kongbo/Bennett to death, Malik Carney is a name I’d be interested in if he makes it to FA. A 3 DE rotation of Willie/Carney/Haba would be cool. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
