TBieber Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 @Mike, @TBieber, @Rids any updates re Ted Laurent ? His agent said they won't be making a decision until after the NFL Draft. I think he goes back to Edmonton, but I believe BC and Montreal are also in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I find it very unlikely Ted Laurent would sign here. I am interested in the situations of Alex Hall & Keron Williams though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it somewehere that Alex Hall is not interested in us because he don't like our defensive coaching staff. I like Keron Williams, he wont likely come in cheap though and we might have good DEs in our roster right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 @TBieber @Rids any updates on the Bombers unsigned draftees - Robertson and Alli. Are they going to be in the TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I find it very unlikely Ted Laurent would sign here. I am interested in the situations of Alex Hall & Keron Williams though. Why do you find it unlikely that Laurent would sign with us? We need an NI starter on defense to replace Muamba and we should have extra money to be able to offer him a better salary than BC or Montreal, although they would give him a better chance to be a winner. Edmonton isn't much better than we are so they would have to compete on price with us. At the very least, we should be able to push Laurents salary up.

Brandon Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I assume Hall will go to whoever pays him the most. He didn't seem to hate the city or fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBieber Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hall had 12 penalties with the Bombers last season, including two games where he was offside three times. Interestingly enough, he had zero penalties in seven games after the trade - though his playing time wasn't what it was in Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'll take off side penalties over a guy who loses his cool and gets us a major on a 2nd and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 IMO, Alex Hall was a top 2 rush end talent last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holoman Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah I didn't like the penalties either, but Countless sacks that could have turned the game around > the few penalties that maintained the opposition's momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 IMO, Alex Hall was a top 2 rush end talent last season. With a fair argument that he was #1. Hughes had the most sacks, but Hall had the most sacks + tackles for loss at 22. TFL often an overlooked stat, but just as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpants Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'd welcome Hall back but I won't lose any sleep if he isn't here... preferably in the NFL, not on another team terrorizing our young o-line/QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweep the leg Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Good for him. His penalties were frustrating, but his otherwise general awesomeness made up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
