gbill2004 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sears is 6'1 193 pounds so this guy is 3 inches taller and 2 pounds heavier... Sears makes it work. Light? Maybe but.. it's all about how athletic he is, I hear Bryant is a bit slow tho, not fast... not the quickest player in the world... That would be the more concerning part than how tall or how heavy he is. Needs to be able to keep up with these speedy receivers up here, can he? Benton seems like a beast tho. Definitely a MLB candidate there. Also interesting to note but on the Official Bomber site, Quinn Everett, OL is listed on the roster. Interesting on Everett. I'd say this definitely spells the end of Hinse with the Bombers...maybe even Morley. If it were up to me I'd keep Morley and stick him on the IR as insurance.

DR. CFL Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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 Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred C Dobbs Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 @DarrinBauming: #Bombers add 5'10" 190lb International defensive back Sam Miller. The Florida International product spent parts of 2014 with Buffalo Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehedra Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
