Brandon Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm more so thrilled that Walters and others managed to bring in new talent that could immediately make the club and surpass a CFL vet like Banks. Blue-urns and Mr Dee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm thinking we could get a 5th for him from Ottawa or TO.. Then again if they were interested wouldn't they have inquired the first time around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 There have been broad hints that both Brandon Stewart and Jovon Johnson had attitude problems last year which didn't help the team culture at all. Having gotten rid of those two problems, Walters and O'Shea were probably very loathe to bring another prima donna on board. I'm sorry but JJ did everything this organization asked him to do and never complained publicly, ever. I think there were huge 'attitude' problems last year... once the coach visibly quit on the team and the GM vanished. The description came from Wiecek, so take that for what its worth. Considering how little Poblah and Banks have contributed to their respective clubs, this looks like a lose-lose transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how little Poblah and Banks have contributed to their respective clubs, this looks like a lose-lose transaction. Poblah has already contributed more than Banks has this season. That said, I don't view acquiring Banks a mistake. The organization recognized they had a void in the locker room with the departure of many defensive veterans. He was viewed as a guy to fill that void. A bridge for the short term. Nothing more. Signing Banks shouldn't be viewed as a failure .. other players have stepped up and performed (so far) and the team looks quite composed. Could Banks be on his way out? Maybe. But I don't fault Walters for trying to add a steadying influence to a unit that was anything but steady last season.

Jacquie Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Poblah's contributed more in this game than he did last season here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Could be that Banks was not pleased with his reduced role and has voiced his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbaugh Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Poblah's contributed more in this game than he did last season here. I contributed more to the Bombers than Poblah did last year. The money I spend on tickets and beer helps more than the money they paid that bum to drop balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I am curious how people seem to randomly declare someone as a "leader" when they have no real knowledge as to what if any leadership qualities they actually have? A leader might be best determined with the the qualities they display on and off the field.....it doesn't mean those with the biggest month.

Given how well respected he was in BC .. in that community and by his teammates .. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Banks is a quality guy ..

BigBlue Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Interesting that the author of today's Banks' article is blaming TSN for calling him a healthy scratch ... hard to judge the performance of a knicked up athlete .... Banks will eventually get on the field and then we will see Don't like trolling reporters trying to peddle their papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 FreeP is saying Banks is done. Likely outright cut to make room for Romby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Why is everyone accepting this rumour as fact? Penton is very connected with Walter and is extremely credible. Penton said it was a CFL source, not a Bomber source. And Penton and his sources have been wrong. He's connected league wide as well. Doesn't mean his sources are always right. Why are you arguing over something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 oh well, is this really that big of a deal? lets be honest, the guy looked turrible in the pre-season when he got in, looked slow, looked like he could care less actually... just cuz he went on twitter and "tweeted" a few things doesn't mean he's a leader, as a matter of fact, i'd suggest the reason he will be cut/traded/released is because he's not being the leader they expected him to be. And if he aint bringing that veteran leadership, then why keep him around when its apparent he's not good enough any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Some players have a very hard time admitting to themselves that they are done. Having said that watch him sign somewhere else and try to make a point, that we made a mistake. Hopefully we haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Perfect Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's obvious O'Shea means business. You better buy in to the message, be able to produce on the field, or get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KptKrunch Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 He made the team though (Poblah) and made a couple of catches, one really nice one. But that being said, he's just eating salary (Banks) on the bombers right now. Even in preseason with his limited action he 'missed' a few tackles, or was run through by the ball carrier. Add to that he's lost a step - he's done. Though not sure if making room for Romby for Banks is a great move either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
