Booch Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Walters says every yr he has no money..then out of blue someone is signed...I think it's moreso he's referring to about big name/ticket guys...and deservedly so as right now we have our fair share ..and ones who are at the top of their position in the league. So depth/role guys will come from scouting and the draft...which shouldn't be too hard with basically the same scouting and management group being together now for 10 years...and knowing some of the network we will be fine. The key is this yrs draft, and the amount of picks we obtained...and focusing on positional players who have pro potential...not just teams...you can teach teams easily and any new young guy will ball out on them...we failed in this last 5..yrs and it's almost biting our ass You have to remember last 4 yrs we haven't really had to unearth anyone as we were set...it's not like we didn't have the network to do so..we have had to basically continuously find dbs and have done very well with that. I been going over roster and there are some guys who will surprise...I actually like the group of Fox..Randall..Woods and now this Waggoner...and we have a collection of edge guys to push Haba who technically is now the incumbent. Seems like some scrambling... definitely some questions will need to be answered and a guy or 2 needs to step out of the masses...but I not to concerned Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) Sometimes I think ppl read to far in to things. He likely means he has no money for a Tim white type. He doesn’t mean he doesn’t have enough money to put the roster together lol. 5 starters need to be replaced. That’s not that much and our depth? I mean depth is replaceable. Clements was never taking a starting spot. Hansen wasn’t either. Neither was Exume. lots of worrying over basically nothing. It’s also February so. who have we lost really. hardrick cuz sask gave him keys to a bank Jeffcoat cuz retired. houston? In my opinion he wasn’t even our starting CB. sounds like outside of Hardrick the guys we lost were guys we also decided to let go.

wbbfan Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 With the continuity lost and other teams improving I wouldn’t be surprised if we win Less games this year. But I think we will be a better more talented and athletic team, and a lot more dynamic after new guys are just the guys. We will find talent.

CodyT Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Loling a lot at the Bomber fan Facebook group... Saying strev wasn't a meaningful signing and could have spent the money else where. Unreal. Strev adds a massive dynamic to this offense and the price we were paying prukop.. Our offense looks like an Allstar team, but our defence, I'll be honest. Concerning. Let's hope our scouts find some gamers Stickem, wbbfan and rebusrankin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he wasn’t even our starting CB. sounds like outside of Hardrick the guys we lost were guys we also decided to let go. We can choose to take him at face value or not, but he said after Grant and Castillio (if they can get it done), everyone else coming in has to be on a rookie deal. He even noted that agents were asking him if the Bombers would circle back on guys in a few days and Walters had to tell them, no, we're out of room to add anyone outside of rookies. Now, none of this is set in stone. He could cut Collaros tomorrow if he wanted to, so things will always be fluid to a certain extent. But as of now, the roster is set beyond adding draft picks and CFL rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue85gold Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 14 hours ago, Fatty Liver said: Walters buggered the accountant when he signed Lawler when he already had Schoen in house at 1/3 the price. Years of careful player development walking out the door, starting over from scratch in a few too many positions. Exciting times await! Not sure who you mean by this. If anything hanging onto the old guard for too long hinders player development. Rose, Bailey, Gray, Jeffcoat are all out, making room for younger guys to play. Clements played well, but Cole is the guy they like better. Developing to have a higher ceiling. Can't think of a younger player they've had get away that was developing into anything.

Losing bolo sucks. That's a young guy they developed that could absolutely start and make an impact. But for good reason he wasn't doing that here.

Stickem Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 yup....BOLO is a loss ....He wasn't getting the game time he needed to advance so off he goes....Should have made a deal for him and obtained Mason Bennett ....coulda/ shoulda....counts for nothing and gm's have their own agenda that most don't vary too much from JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When buying a car, do you walk into a dealership, and yell "I've got tons of money, who wants to take it?" or do you go in and say "I might buy a car if the price is right, but really, I'm just looking "? That's sort of what Walters is doing and has done over and over. Bigblue204, BomberBall and coach17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
