Arnold_Palmer Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 1 minute ago, Dirty30 said: Kind of frustrating not hearing that the Bombers are talking to any other teams free agents. I’m sure they have had some discussions, but as a fan it would be nice to hear something. Why? Free agent champions almost never win anything. Over paying veteran guys looking for a big pay day rarely works out. We did our part by getting Oliveria and Schoen inked, now we rely on our scouting, and once teams like the Riders, Redblacks, and Ti Cats are done spending stupid money we can usually be on the hunt for some good players without getting into a bidding war.

I will go with the coach's call on that because everyone outside of that dressing room is only talking out their ass. He saw how they were moving in practice. None of us did. thats practice....game movement...intensity and need to be explosive is a totally different cat....and in "practice" to show how you look you don't/can't replicate that...and won't...this comes from being there and done that....and we saw in the game...3 guys did not have it.....why people keep trying to deflect and not throw blame at Osh is baffling...and as a coach of his pedigree and success should have known better, and put team first and not player loyalties..was a bad bad decision...Hopefully was also a lesson learned moving forward Just now, Arnold_Palmer said: Why?

I suppose I’m just getting excited about the upcoming season and curious how they’re going to fill some of these holes. As difficult it is to see some of the older guys go a transition was much needed. I guess this is phase 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is phase 1. def some culling of the heard here this yr, mind you some of it should have happened last yr already, but good to see, as waiting one more yr would have created a huge roster turn over at a bad time Piggy 1, wbbfan and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 keep in mind, FA doesn't actually open until next Tuesday. This year there just seems to be a lot more information during the "tampering" week than normal, so it maybe feels like there should be more information...... but I'm sure this time next week we'll know a lot more.

Oh I definitely agree. I suppose I just maybe be the minority that every off-season I am trying to picture who will be the on the game day roster and who will be filling in the vacant positions. I’ve heard a little bit of bomber news and I guess now I’m getting a bit greedy. It’s been a long off season lol.

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 4 hours ago, JCon said: It feels like someone else will give him more money and try to integrate him into their passing game. Unless he's part of our receiving plans or no one else seems him as part of theirs, I just don't see him returning (no pun intended). I don't think anyone will use him on offense at all. He's shown that he has very limited ability as a receiver. He got to start a run of games here with some injuries and could do nothing. Even McCrae was far better on offense. He's a pure returner. Injuries are going to be the issue with getting paid for him. rebusrankin, Piggy 1, Noeller and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, Noeller said: looked him up online... he's a monster... looks built like Alan Ritchson (Reacher)........ Yeah, that’s a great description. It’s hard to tell how big he is currently. 260,267 bigger even. If he is close to or 270 he might even be the dt spot for us. Seems like one of those hard to quantify athletes. Iowa is a good place to be recruiting dl too 3 hours ago, Noeller said: keep in mind, FA doesn't actually open until next Tuesday.
