Mike Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I believe Robertson still has eligibility left. But not sure if that was the purpose behind the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take 3 more years to rebuild our Canadian talent. You might be right. I was thinking 1 or 2 years to restore the team to mediocrity but 3 might be more like it. Unfortunate, but true!

bearpants Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm tempted to look back at the draft history under Mack... but terrified to see the results.... The only possible redeeming factor would be if one or all of Muamba, Mulumba, and Bilukidi become serviceable CFLers one day... or returns to all-star form in Muamba's case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Kito Poblah should fit in there somewhere but I forget where cuz he was a supplemental pick Good list. Of all bolded guys I'd only have Greaves as solid and he's no all-star. Jake Thomas will probably start this year but only due to lack of depth and having to start 7 canadians. Jake is a gamer but his like of size will be his undoing as monsters will dominate him. Watson is the only bolded guy who has all-star potential but since coming down with TPD (Tyson Pencer's Disease) he can't stay healthy. Volny is a decent reserve RB but hasn't impressed me as a breakout baller. Don't even think he's an above average blocker which is where your bread 'n butter is if you can't lug the piggy for 500+.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a relatively good pass blocker and a pretty good run blocker Pretty sure I'd call him an all-star... he has only been getting better year after year as well.

M.O.A.B. Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 By my count, we need to cut 5 more to 65-man roster limit (excluding 8 non-counters). Deadline is on Sunday 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that makes life too complicated, but it is another sign that a) management is not willing to sit on a team that is clearly not good enough, and b ) Walters is trying to make some headway using what could be considered spare parts. The two examples you listed, Poblah for Banks. That's two players who hadn't made much headway here and two mid-draft picks that he turned into 3 starters. None are NI's unfortunately, but at least they aren't wasted. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 2012 was a pretty weak draft year. That being said Matt Norman, Shamawd Chambers or Kirby Fabien would have been preferable to Pencer. Of course, hindsight is always 20-20. bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Anyone else surprised that Nzegwu was cut? I thought he was having a good camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Being on a team isn't what we should be looking at. It's the NI starters who are the difference makers. Between 2010 and 2013 we had 5 top 4 overall picks including 2 first overall (Muamba/Poblah). Only 1 became a starter. I haven't checked, but I doubt any other team had more top end picks during that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
