Mike Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 As per Darren Cameron's twitter, the Bombers have signed DB Gabe Loper from South Alabama and LB Kenny Tate from Maryland. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 IMO, Tate is going to be a good one if his head is on right. Had a very interesting time with Maryland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Went from receiver to safety to LB. With a little reading looked like he had a dominate year as safety then moved to LB when a new DC came in and regressed a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I actually remember reading about this guy when I was looking up stuff on Torrey Smith. He was ranked as a top 5 safety in his draft year by Mel Kiper and then his new DC moved him to LB and he got hurt and well, he's just kind of fallen off the map a bit I guess. I wonder where we'll have him line up. I feel like he's going to be a guy they'll fit in wherever we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why he's never really got a NFL shot is a question mark after a great NCAA career on the field and in the classroom, but not a whole lot of risk to take a look.

Milt Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I wonder if Hogue is here to play DE. Assuming we keep Henoc, we'd be set at MLB and 6'2 245 is big for WILL not to mention we've got Wild and Parker there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Over the past couple years it seems like the LB core has had its fair share of injuries compared to the other positions. Depth at that position can never be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I wonder if Hogue is here to play DE. Assuming we keep Henoc, we'd be set at MLB and 6'2 245 is big for WILL not to mention we've got Wild and Parker there. If Walters was "assuming we keep Henoc", he wouldn't be doing his job. It's just good practice to have import depth at every position, even if you have it pencilled in as an NI position... because you just never know what's going to happen in training camp.

Noeller Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 His value is on ST...tho he does have an understated value on offense. That guy is always out there busting his ass. Need a lot more like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sportsnet lists Pontbriand as having 6 carries for 61 yards last year.... is that right? That's wrong. He had 6 receptions for 61 yards. He had a couple of big receptions against Hamilton in 2 games - one for 19 yards and the other for 25 yards.
