February 11, 201411 yr @Darren_Cameron: #Bombers acquire DB Chris Randle from #Stamps, and 26th pick in 2014 Draft, for the 24th pick. Randle has signed extension with Bombers.
February 11, 201411 yr I like it. A lot. I don't know where he fits in, but that can sort itself out. Always thought Randle was a baller in Calgary.
February 11, 201411 yr Bye bye Stewart. I like Randle a lot, he's the only FA import DB I thought we'd go after. I think he'll play field corner if everyone is healthy, but can play the weak-side too, mostly where he lined up for Calgary. WCB- Sears WHB- Washington S- ? Muamba SHB- Suber/Markett SCB- Randle/McGee Nickel/SAM- Banks/Dunn Dime- Bucknor That's kind of what our depth chart looks like at DB in terms of CFL veterans.
February 11, 201411 yr Interesting move - upgrade from JJ Actually, really like this - sending a message to the rest of the FAs that Wpg is serious
February 11, 201411 yr Love it. Randle, Banks, Bucknor - its clear Walters and O'Shea wanted to remake our secondary. I'd still re-sign Stewart but that probably won't happen now.
February 11, 201411 yr I like his size and if I recall, he's a pretty good DB. You can't coach height.
February 11, 201411 yr Randle - Washington - Bucknor - Suber - Markett Wild - ?? - Banks ?? - Anderson - Turner - Vega If Banks and Bucknor can produce, that looks promising... interesting to see how the ratio plays out
February 11, 201411 yr Randle - Washington - Bucknor - Suber - Markett Wild - ?? - Banks ?? - Anderson - Turner - Vega If Banks and Bucknor can produce, that looks promising... interesting to see how the ratio plays out Sears. For a week at least
February 11, 201411 yr Sears was our most effective player @ SAM, IMO But like you say, for a week at least
February 11, 201411 yr good trade. considering we only move 2 spots back and get a good DB. it's amost certain that Stewart is out of the plans too.
February 11, 201411 yr This is such a smooth move to avoid Free Agency, for a minimal cost, to a team that is obviously interested in him. Good job.
February 11, 201411 yr Intriguing..... the Bombers making moves to improve? That is Unpossible. I like the move. I like the attempts to improve. I like that we aren't sitting around watching potential improvements just pass us by.
February 11, 201411 yr And to think how many people were getting ready to jump off the ledge when Henry chose Ottawa... ...THIS is why you let everything play out folks.
February 11, 201411 yr And to think how many people were getting ready to jump off the ledge when Henry chose Ottawa... ...THIS is why you let everything play out folks. Our o-line still needs to be addressed....
February 11, 201411 yr And to think how many people were getting ready to jump off the ledge when Henry chose Ottawa... ...THIS is why you let everything play out folks. Our o-line still needs to be addressed.... Sure it does. Training camp isn't until June though. LOTS of time.
February 11, 201411 yr Author One of the Bombers biggest problems last year was lack of depth. If we have some good DBs on the bench, that's a good thing. It'll create competition and push the starters even harder. Great move by Walters. Randle just said in a tweet that the first Bomber he wants to reach out to is Korey Banks.
February 11, 201411 yr Our o-line still needs to be addressed.... O-Line ℅ Winnipeg Blue Bombers Football Club 315 Chancellor Matheson Rd, Winnipeg, MB R3T 1Z2 Problem solved.
February 11, 201411 yr Good move by Walters, get a pretty solid player along with a draft pick only 2 slots lower than the pick traded away. Now find that replacement for Cauchy!
February 11, 201411 yr Just like when Taman was with BB. Keep going Kyle. Take Desjardins to the cleaners on FA day.
February 11, 201411 yr Just like when Taman was with BB. Keep going Kyle. Take Desjardins to the cleaners on FA day. First sentence does not compute...Taman would have traded our first round pick for Randle.
February 11, 201411 yr Just like when Taman was with BB. Keep going Kyle. Take Desjardins to the cleaners on FA day. First sentence does not compute...Taman would have traded our first round pick for Randle. We already traded our 'first round pick' for Korey Banks, ha
February 11, 201411 yr Interestingly this now gives the Stampeders three picks in a row in the third round (23, 24, 25), before the Bombers pick at 26.
