August 12, 201312 yr Given Muamba's reluctance to extend, the Bombers will be looking for a MLB next year, no harm in bringing him in and see you can't work him into the rotation. Pretty scary combo actually.
August 12, 201312 yr Is not better than what we currently have? Better than Hall and Mainor? No I don't think he is. Not an every-down guy at LB or DE.
August 12, 201312 yr Him being cut by two teams in a year is a red flag... was he really cut by Toronto? The word from the resident Argo fan was that the Argo's released him early rather than making him wait until Feb 15th so that he could get an early start on the NFL opportunities he supposedly had.

The word from the resident Argo fan was that the Argo's released him early rather than making him wait until Feb 15th so that he could get an early start on the NFL opportunities he supposedly had. yup... and he promptly signed with Montreal afterward. Doc Handsome is right to say that he likely isn't an every down guy. undeniably a physical presence though.
August 13, 201312 yr Not so much with Kuale maybe, but I sure as hell hope the days are now gone (with Mack's departure) that a frigging last place team like us isn't interested in other teams free agents because the Bombers feel the players they got are better. Make sure we hire a GM who goes after CFL FA's in the off season, Miller. Not like Mack sitting there scratching his ass doing nothing every February 15th.
August 13, 201312 yr Author Don't forget Hebert was cut from the Ticats in 2010 before the ALs scooped him up. He'd have looked great here right about now with his league leading sack total. I remember reading from certain posters that he was "washed up"
August 13, 201312 yr Hebert used to suck at WLB. He's really grown and matured into the position. Id certainly take him right now on our squad. Id be interested in Kuale if Muamba turned down another offer. Wouldn't want him as an End though.
August 13, 201312 yr Author Why not at WLB? That is one of the biggest problems we have is that our LBs aren't punishing enough, dare I say the softest in the cfl. If they are pounding the RB and helping the DL put pressure on the QB, I guarantee our secondary will be better because the receivers won't have the time to get open. It's an 8 team league. Good players are let go for various reasons and then are picked up from another team and seem to be even better. When you are already scraping the bottom of the barrel. What does it hurt? At the very least its security for next year bc its hard to imagine any of the clubs pending FAs wanting to re-sign.
August 13, 201312 yr he should come cheap, even if we bring him in to be on the 4 man like clg did with hefney I can't see the problem.

August 13, 201312 yr is hebert really playing well or just effective blitzing? ^this... Nobody ever said Hebert wasn't a good tackler and didn't have an ability to shed blocks (he was always recognized as a DEMON on special teams) Montreal's defense almost has their WIL playing as a 5th Dlineman (and their safety as a 6th, and their SAM as a 7th) - I guess you could say they are playing a defensive game plan that emphasizes a player like Hebert's strengths and masks his weaknesses (he rarely sits back in coverage)
August 13, 201312 yr The only defense in this league that Hebert would be looking this good in is Montreal's. Ask him to drop into the flats and good night old man.
August 13, 201312 yr What position was he playing for the Argos a couple years ago? I thought it was LB. EDIT - yup he was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejiro_Kuale
August 13, 201312 yr I thought it was LB. EDIT - yup he was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejiro_Kuale interior linebacker and rush-end. (was also short yardage blocking-FB)
August 13, 201312 yr Steinauer doesnt seem to be particularly interested which is telling. yeah because Hamilton usually picks up Toronto's garbage.
August 13, 201312 yr yeah because Hamilton usually picks up Toronto's garbage. Isaac and Mccullough are garbage ? Very astute.
August 13, 201312 yr Isaac and Mccullough are garbage ? Very astute. Toronto's garbage. Yup. I know I'm astute.
Any interest?
