Noeller Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Good for him. True pro...great WBB both on and off the field. Wish him nothing but the best of luck pursuing dreams, and pray that we eventually see him back in Blue and Gold...

mbrg Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sigh. Boy, I got to step 4 of the 5 steps pretty quick. Come back Ian, come back! Shoot, now I'm back at step 3. Frick that makes me angry. Oh dear, I'm not coping as well as I thought. Which step is the one that involves Captain Morgan and a jug of Fruitopia?

braddman19 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Good for him! Hopefully he has a successful career down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 The guy was a damned good player for the Bombers, his loss will be felt but you can't wish him ill luck trying the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Classy player both on and off the field, best of luck with the NFL dream. If it doesn't work out, i suspect he will be back here. Hope for Wilds sake, it does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 D.amn. Knew it was about to happen, but d.amn anyways. Going to miss him. His bandwagon was easy to jump on and it was a fun ride for us. Too bad for us…he's really the type of player we need here. Going to the NFL. THAT league…the one with 8 1/2 mins. of football /game, but pays about $200-$300 a minute/game. Tough to compete with that. His effort paid off…and that's how it should be.

Blueandgold Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Never imagined that he'd get an NFL shot, and I'd very surprised if he stuck but good for Wild and I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'd have to think he makes the team as a special teamer... back up safety (probably SS, not sure where he played in college)... probably using his long snapping as an advantage... all the best Ian Wild...

Noeller Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 He'd be a great special teams guy. There's always room for guys that are as committed to being a true pro as that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 This is win-win. If he makes it in the NFL, good PR for us, if not, and we've treated him well, he will come back and feel more at home. In any case, good on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Gonna miss those hard licks he handed out. He sure kept the oppositions offence honest. Some fans were saying he was a 'tweener' and wouldn't last long down there BUT a hard hitting guy like he is should position up somewhere in the nfl. Most likely special teams. Good luck to him and hope he makes lots of coin. IF he doesn't stick, the door is always wide open for him in the Peg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Meh, I don't think he's a tweener... I think he'll make a very good back up at SS and Special Teamer for any NFL team... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
