Woli would make the perfect replacement for Corcoran as the extra guy on the squad as well as take rotational reps, and was huge for iur run game, if he was available would be a smart aquisition....can play all the spots...ZC trusts and looks for him

He doesn't need to be the #1 or a guy expected to be leaned on

Chain mover....2nd down conversion guy (ZC totally leaned on him for that as he always knew where to go vs a defence)....play the dirty role in run game....and vet savvy...thats it....and really can be just for this yr too

 

 

Wolitarsky had 5 2nd Down Conversions last year in 10 games. Over his career with the Bombers he had 80 in 96 games


In 2022 and 2023, Schoen had 81 in 34 games... I can only see stats for receivers with more than 350 yards for 2024 so don't know how many he ended up within 2024

in 51 games with the Bombers, Lawler had 76

Demski in 76 games had 82

 

FWIW Dillon Mitchell had 22 2nd down conversions in 2024 which is more than Wolitarsky had in any season

They don't need another 500 yard rec. They've got plenty of those. They need a legit #1, make defenses bracket rec.

it's not necessarily about him being just a 500 yard receiver... if that's all he brought, I'd agree... he brings chemistry with the offense.... blocking... TE-type play... leadership... reliability (as a player, not necessarily when it comes to injury concerns)... if the Bomber decided to bring him back, it wouldn't be to put this O over the top... it would be help shore up the bottom end and provide depth...

Of course we all agree, unearthing a difference maker at this point would be amazing... but probably not realistic...

Woogie is a guy Zach trusts... That's the most important part, to me...

You're not wrong -- Wolitarsky wouldn't solve our "no Kenny Lawler" problem ... but he would solve our "starting Concoran" problem.

That's what was posted yesterday... Haven't seen much about it online but someone posted a link to his release.

Wasn't even a link to his release - it's a link to his profile on the Ticats website, where he's still listed on their active roster.  Nothing on FB, Insta or the CFL site about him being released so I have no idea why the link was posted.

I do have another name that can fill in as an emergency receiver.     Why not bring back Lucky Whitehead again?  Better then nothing and he can return kicks if need be.  

Also for future self:
