M.O.A.B. Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Good trade. We need help in the DL while we have 3 vet DBs on the IR that cant make it to the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 What's the scouting report on Gibson? Is he a starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I really liked Gibson in the pre-season game here. But he's been so-so since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Really like this trade. I like Gibson a lot, he's just been a victim of the numbers game in Toronto. Probably one of those deals you can call a win-win for each team. Gibson probably won't start here now that Vega is good to go again, but I'm glad to have him.

JuranBoldenRules Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Lawless is so dumb. Ya, adding a pass rushing defensive end is going to shore up the run D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Nice to add another DL to the mix. Glad Suber gets a shot to play, always liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm happy for Suber, he deserves the chance to play. Fatty Liver, Blue-urns, Mark F and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Good trade for both teams areas of need and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sad to see Suber go. I was always a fan, even if he tapered off a bit last year with the rest of the D. Looks like both teams get what they want and need. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 seems like a win-win... we'll see how each guy helps his new team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm happy for Suber, he deserves the chance to play. So much this. Guy was a great player for us for a lot of years, I hated seeing him buried on the depth chart and not even getting a chance to earn his way back on the field.

M.O.A.B. Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The last remaining member of the Swaggerville is gone. Leggett, Johnson and Unamba took the opportunity and stole the jobs of the incumbents. Now that's what you call UPGRADE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Agreed. Glad to see Suber get a chance to play. He deserves it, nothing but a class act while he was here. Rich, Blue-urns, Noeller and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 @PentonKirk: Thaddeus Gibson isn't coming into stop the run. He's primarily a pass rusher who has been inconsistent with the #Argos. #Bombers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's primarily a pass rusher who has been inconsistent with the #Argos. #Bombers Good to see there's at least one media guy out there who actually knows a lick about football. Already saw both Keith McCullough and Lawless talking about how this move improves the run D. Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Don't really care too much about what we get back. Just happy Suber gets a chance to play. Quintessential Winnipeg Blue Bomber: Great player on the field, even better community guy off it. Best of luck, Suberman, and thanks for everything!

bigg jay Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm happy that Suber is going to get a chance to play, he deserves it. He is a class act on & off the field. It's a double bonus for him in that he's going to a team that is more than likely going to be playing in the Eastern Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 He played mostly OLB in high school but has played primarily DE since then. Decent speed, probably a little erratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintessential Winnipeg Blue Bomber: Great player on the field, even better community guy off it. Best of luck, Suberman, and thanks for everything! Like that we got talented players that made it tough for our other talented players to get on the field. Also like that Suber gets a chance to make some more plays before his time in the CFL is done. He's a 110%-er. Not really familiar with him; sounds like Gibson plays at end. If he's healthy he'll probably get a chance to dress at some point.

Fatty Liver Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 D-line needs more rotation, if they can work Gibson in that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Just glad that Walters is at least aware that we needed help on the defensive line. That goes a long way to letting me have more faith in him. That nonsense about no room for Hall really had me worried. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
