Getting to that point of the off-season now ... free agent camps and scouting will be starting to pay some dividends in the form of roster additions.

 

Jarrid Bryant, DB, South Dakota

 

6'4" (!) DB ... Had a short visit to training camp with St. Louis last year (same time as Deantre Harlan)

 

Khasif Montgomery, WR/DB, Virginia University of Lynchburg

 

6'2" / 210 ... not really sure what this guy's situation is but he had a long weird road to finally get to pro football. He's already 28 with zero NFL experience and nothing but a Hamilton tryout a few years ago. Athletic testing is pretty impressive and he's held his own at pro days, but never got a shot. Seems like a reach. Not sure if this guy actually has a contract to come to training camp or if he's a mini camp invite though.

The neg list has been expanded . Expect a bunch of signings to go to a mini camp and get weeded out. Too early to get excited about signings.....except a DC.

Benton's 40 time is 4.65. How does that compare to other MLB's? Seems a little slow but not sure how other LBs compare.

Joe Lobendahn

 

5'11"

230 lb

4.67 40 time

 

I'm totally stoked to see this kid perform.

His 40 time is better than the db we just signed.

Eliminian runs a 4.6, Bighill around 4.55. Probably couldn't run those today, but at peak.

MLB 40 yard times are not really all that important though, imo

Cool. Thanks. I was just curious.

I don't know if they're out there, but the more interesting numbers I'd like to see are his 10 yard split and his 3-cone.

k found this

 

10 yard split

Benton - 1.64

Elimimian - 1.58

Bighill - 1.53

Bear Woods - 1.68

 

3-cone

Benton - 7.12

Elimimian - 7.06

Bighill - 6.99

Woods - 7.2

Nice. So he's in the ballpark with the other elite CFL LBs. It'll come down to his instincts and the mental side of his game.

I know Henoc was around a 4.72 and he was plenty fast for MLB.

 

34 inch vert and 34 bench reps is pretty crazy for a MLB. He could probably take on OL in this league... Unless of course he just focused on bench and vert for his pro day 

Interesting note about Henoc in Darren Cameron's blog this week http://www.bluebombers.com/article/blog-darrens-world

 

 

I remember when we offered Henoc Muamba a contract in 2013. He was going to be one of the league’s highest paid Canadians, and the highest paid linebacker

in that little interview someone posted he says he's loyal... that's a nice trait to have if he ends up being a keeper...

I thought this was another interesting bit from Darren Cameron's blog:

 

To this day, I still text regularly with Henoc and with Receiver Chris Matthews (another example of this whole scenario), and even when I start the conversation about their latest game, they quickly turn it to how things are up here and how they just watched our last game. Both enjoyed their time in Winnipeg immensely, but their skills allowed them to play down south. We should commend that, and we do.

 

Money may be the bottom line but if they do end up back in the CFL, it sounds like we'll have a head start on the other teams.

@DarrinBauming: #Bombers add 5'10" 190lb International defensive back Sam Miller. The Florida International product spent parts of 2014 with Buffalo Bills.

Looks like they are focusing at getting some talent for minicamps and tc; seems like they want to improve our defensive side of the ball in some areas.  Hope to recruit the defensive side; and fix oline through FA/DRAFT?  We could be heading into a good year if they manage both

Don't forget these dbs can probably play SAM.

Not according to his NFL pro day measurements. These small guys exaggerate their height/weight all the time.

The real question is, is he on HGH?

Kent, Malveaux, both guys in that ball park.

Nice to see some size being added. Kelly Malvaux was talented but very short- he had to roll his socks down to poop. You can teach technique but you can't teach height.

Doesn't matter. It's a comparison. If you look back at guys who have played SAM, their size is probably exaggerated too. So the comparison still works. Unless you think Sam Miller is the first guy to be incorrectly listed.

Rodney Lamar, LB, Northern Michigan

 

Transfer from Florida Atlantic. 6'1", 230 ... has played OLB and DE in college.
