M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think we should make a run for Messam. at this point, Messam and Woloshyn will be a decent pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinisterOfD5 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm kind of surprised Gill was cut out of Toronto, from what I read they were raving about the guy all through camp. He had decent hands and speed when he played against the Bombers... I also think Messam would be a welcomed addition as long as he lowers his price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBlink Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I would love to see messam in blue and gold Absolutely. If he has any kind of game left and can play ST he'd be an upgrade over Volny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Brooks out I think Volny is safe. Adding Messam will certainly save us using a DI for a backup import RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Messam would make it much easier to keep Maher on the roster. Harbaugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Messam would make it much easier to keep Maher on the roster. But, outside his passport, does Messam bring more to the table than any of our current running backs? Change of pace to a guy like Cotton? Absolutely. Would he be the primary back in our offensive? Not likely. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Messam would make it much easier to keep Maher on the roster. Go figure out where are DI's gonna be used. DL - Thomas will likely be the 7th NAT - but with only DE Richardson as the other DL, DT Anderson will be a DI. That makes 6 active DLs on roster... Vega, Turner, Thomas, Peach with Anderson and Richarson as backups. LB - We need a backup MLB on active roster, I don't think Stephan can cut it. Wild is an INT so he will definitely be a DI. He will be essentialy backing up MLB and WIL. KR - Woods I'm assuming, since he also plays on offense. DB - I assume Randle, Washington, Leggett and Suber are the INT starters. Hard to think, either Markett, Suber or B.Johnson will not be in gameday lineup. I like Maher but with our current injuries, I'm not liking his chances to be on the active lineup. I hope they can still keep him somehow. but PR'ing (imo) will not gonna keep him here. He as an additional mouth to fed. ... that unless we somehow trade for a starter/backup NAT DT or an starter NAT OL (RG or C) or a backup NAT LB.

Not likely. I agree that he wouldn't be the primary back, but what he brings is 6'3" 245 lbs with experience carrying the ball. Cotton is 5'9" Volny is 5'10" I wouldn't break the bank for Messam, but if they can make the numbers work, he's worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the rub though .. you're probably going to have to pay a premium to bring Messam in .. (at least when compared to the guys currently on our roster - NI vet RB vs. Ford .. Grigsby .. Cotton) .. so the question then becomes .. is a NI battering ram worth the cost when.. realistically .. he's only going to play a handful of snaps .. or conversely .. because you shelled out money to acquire the "name" non-import .. are you going to want him to see the field more often than not .. does the drop off in production justify the price of admission? I'm not suggesting Messam would be ineffective or that it's not worth kicking the tires .. just tossing out things that go through my mind when I look at our roster and our offense.

M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 there you go... Bombers cut Maher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valderan_CA Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 there you go... Bombers cut Maher. I'm guessing Newman being injured for the rest of the year basically guaranteed Maher wasn't going to make the team - we simply don't have space for an Int kicker now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBlink Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Probably a lot of truth to that. Lirim Hooftothetwo has a pretty good and accurate leg, and did not look to be much behind Maher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Renaud did punt very well last game. Now, I would really sign Cameron though. My wish list in order of 'need' is Messam, Burke, Cameron, Mackey, Wilson, Mutobola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Newman being injured for the rest of the year basically guaranteed Maher wasn't going to make the team - we simply don't have space for an Int kicker now If the Bombers have any kicking struggles at all this year, Maher will be back. Until all the NI pieces fall into place he will have some diaper changing reps. All the injuries should not have an impact on Maher; the extra DI still can't come in for a NI. Sign Messam and then we don't have to use a DI spot on a backup RB, bippetyboppityboo, room for Maher is created. With the injuries and low numbers of NI Olinemen, this roster will definitely evolve over the next 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The back up RB historically will be IMP RB that is a returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Robert Gill and Kiante Tripp are both blows to the Argos. Both have been hurt. Not sure when/how Tripp got hurt, but he didn't play against you guys and he was supposed to be one of the few pieces on the DLine that we knew we'd have for this season. Must be pretty bad for us to cut him. Gill and his speed would've been fun, but he got hurt in the exhibition game when Dunn got flagged for hitting him dirty. I hate cutting promising receivers who get hurt in camp... (see Edwards, Terrence, 2005) Wondering how bad either of these guys' injuries are... maybe they'll stick around town and rehab a bit... As for Messam, I imagine that either his knee, his contract or both got him cut. If his knee is sound and he offers a hometown discount, it would be interesting to see a NI (er... National)1-2 punch of Coombs and Messam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrg Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The back up RB historically will be IMP RB that is a returner. Might be. Or it might be Woods at receiver, or one of the DBs. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I wouldn't count out garvin as being a DI kick returner/rb/wr/db type. Every time the guy has had a KO or Punt return, he's had pretty decent gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Perfect Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ed Tait @WFPEdTait 32s Sources say the #Bombers are not interested in RB Jerome Messam, the CFL's top Canadian in 2011. Going import at the position. #bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
