bigg jay Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Is it really a great trade if it never happened? Walby was on the d-line with Montreal but they released him as a paperwork type of move and we swooped in & signed him.

O'Shea & Dan Campbell are very much alike. Both are very much player coaches. Campbell motivates thru his plain talk to his players & personality. I've never been in the Bomber locker room or heard O'Shea give a pre or post game speech. I'm sure Mike can get fired up when he wants to. We know Campbell does all the time. Both are great leaders whose players would follow them though anything. The biggest difference is Campbell's aggressiveness on short yardage & goal line. He'll go for it. While O'Shea has the more traditional approach of "Let's take the points". Campbell was given the chance to develop a FIFO culture in Detroit like O'Shea was here. He'd never get the time to do that in the NFL. He'd be fired. 5 hours ago, Booch said: Well right now we have Wilson and Biggie unde contract...Reupped Kramdi...so is that the plan? Truthfully would like to see 2 of that trio as rotation/backups at most...that be a weak trio ...one of weakest in league The weakest. Which sucks. As well as our DL now has a big hole to fill with JJ gone. And of course our interior DL is always weak which we never fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 3 hours ago, johnzo said: love me some big Stan but I think the very first piece of the turnaround was the 2013 Alex Hall for Neufeld trade. Hall put up seven sacks for the Roughriders in nineteen games. In return, we got a Canadian OL starter for a decade. I think that was Walters' first trade. Nice debut. True, but he wasn't a star player. At the time WPG wasn't a hot landing spot for anyone and Stanley came here by choice, off of a MOOL award in CGY. The neuf trade was solid, but wasn't nearly as impactful right out of the gate as the Stanley signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walby was on the d-line with Montreal but they released him as a paperwork type of move and we swooped in & signed him. Right. Montreal were putting Walby on and off the PR without telling him. The first couple times, he cleared waivers and they re-added him to the AR. Someone from the Bombers caught wind of it and swooped in to sign him.

TrueBlue4ever Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 New bodies were what fans on this site were pining for, instead of rolling back the same old vets.

IC Khari Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Another thing to consider, although he's not new to the team, the new defensive coordinator will have a different idea I would imagine about the type of talent he is looking for to suit his scheme. It'll be kind of interesting to see how camp breaks down in that regard as its been pretty predictable as far as the roster the last few seasons IMO ...

Younger if from the Toronto tree which is a lot more Cover 3, 2 high looks. Less match coverage, doubt we'll see any Cover 0, which is basically what Hall ran the enter 4th Q in the last Grey Cup. Halfbacks and SAM will be a lot more of a playmaker role than a cover role I'd bet. Safety will be more defined role, less roving.

Some good teams rotational Canadians. Need a couple more rookie imps for camp but lber is in fine shape. At de we have wj and Habba as starters with Hansen backing up. Hoping for kongbo and again rookies. At DT we have fox and Lawson which I’d be fine with as our starters. We have some camp prospects already, plus korny back. More rookie bodies another Canadian from the draft would be nice. Personally I’d love to grab a guy like oakman as well, he’s still a fa with a dropping price I’m sure. the front is pretty much where you’d think it would be. Jj retiring was a surprise but thought he’d walk in fa any way. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really every one plays that style now. Though not all as soft as we have. If we showed cover 0 and dropped all but 3/4/5 as equally as we ran 0 in the 4th we win the game. 1 minute ago, Goalie said: Plus Damian Jack of all trades Master of none Jackson.

MOBomberFan Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Has Thiadric Hansen re-signed? He was a pending FA, and as much as I love cheering for the guy... he wasn't the same when he returned. Maybe another off-season of recovery does him good and he returns to form, would love to have him back and healthy. Best Global in the brief history of the program, hands down. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
