kelownabomberfan Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 3 hours ago, WinnipegGordo said: If O'Shea passes Grant in playoff wins then undoubtedly he would be the top coach in Bomber history. Bud has 15 playoff wins and Mike sits at 8. You'd think a few Grey Cups would be included in those additional wins. Yeah I second that. O'Shea is the GOAT when he wins his 5th cup.

The interviews are nice but I miss the old "who stood out" format to camp reports.

Ok then, looking forward instead of looking back. Here’s and either/or hypothetical for people: If you had to choose between these two options, would you rather - 1. Have a guaranteed Grey Cup win this year but no guarantees for even making the playoffs next year, or 2. Missing the playoffs this season but getting a guaranteed berth in the Grey Cup game next season at Princess Auto Stadium?

Kramdi isnt going any where, and he’s the ideal guy to have as the back up db and package guy.

That would be 2 ni starters with no back up in cover. None of our ni Ss can cover guys directly. If one or both went down it’d be game over.

Colin Unger Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 From what I've gathered about Josh Vann, he appears to be a solid CFL prospect. He doesn't posses a singular skill or physical attribute that flies off the page and I believe that's why no NFL team is bothering to develop him on a practice roster. He posses good smarts and vision and this helps him to read the defense and put himself in a position for a catch plus yak yards. Despite facing challenges with drops early in college, he's managed to overcome them and establish himself as a reliable pass catcher. He's 5 foot 10 which i think is fairly average in the CFL and has good jumping ability and body control. He's a guy I think we could develop. Unfortunately I don't see him making much of an impact at WR and is more of a slot type of guy in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedawg Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Just now, Mike said: That Griffin guy was a starter for Calgary last year in five games Looks like he started games at safety, dime and field halfback based on their depth charts. And did so as a rookie. That's a solid add at this point in camp to kick the tires on and see if he can help the team out in some way rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 (edited) 10 minutes ago, BBlink said: "He's a great CFL prospect because he's super average at everything" Wow what a sell 😂 I was viewing it as his smarts are a real asset in the CFL. On paper a lot of CFL greats don't have any one skill that flies off the page for NFL scouts. Even Milt or Arland Bruce probably would have been categorized like this by NFL teams. In Milt's case it was really his smarts that make him such a good CFL receiver. His measurables alone would not have made him standout verses half of the receivers in the CFL.
