It's looking like this years LB crew will be significantly different from last years. Gone are Kuale, Wild, Sears and Dunn. The only sure thing right now it seems is Sam Hurl. Don Unamba might be a LB option too.

My question is if Walters plans on relying on the recruitment department to bring in LBs from down south, how difficult is it for a LB to transition from American football (NCAA and NFL) to the CFL game? Are there any examples of a new to CFL MLB stepping right in in his first year and starting and having success?

The Bombers most glaring need is at MLB, although some might argue Sam Hurl will start there, I'm a little skeptical of that. The MLB is a QB of the defense so needs to have a good understanding of the offense to call the defensive formations/plays. Could a new American MLB step in right away and fill that role and have success?

What's with the Troy Stoudermire stuff? Did he win some sort of contest?

Trust me on this, you really don't want to know.

Have a close look at his Twitter picture, then try not to pull a Mike, by running straight to the washroom, with pic in hand

Gonna be a clean up soon.

The new receiver.. Excellent physical tools... Wonder why he isn't getting NFL looks at that height..

Scouting reports say he struggles with consistency and concentration, has questionable hands, doesn't play as physical as his size would suggest, and isn't a willing blocker. There's more to being a WR than being 6'3" 210lbs.

Oh no way.. I thought tall guys just showed up and signed a contract.. Smh.

I assumed it was intangibles holding him back... Didn't realize that many of them tho..

Intangibles like ... talent?

Bakari Grant is stil out there as a free agent. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bombers sign him, but they likely plan on starting Moore, Denmark and Adams at the 3 import WR spot and having a new recruit as the backup guy. At least we won't have to watch Romby anymore. Aaron Kelly likely won't be back either.

Aaron Kelly likely won't be back either.

"likely"? When has there been even a hint that the Bombers are interested in re-signing him.

Scouting report on Goard reads like a carbon copy of the one on Greg Carr.

Oh puleeze. Kelly won't be back. There's no "likely" about it.

My SMH is directed at you making a big deal out of such a small detail. The reason I said "likely" is because you just never know; I've seen stranger things happen before. If all the new guys we bring into camp **** the bed, Kelly could be brought back. Unlikely, but you just never know.

You could say that about any player. Kelly is as likely not to be back as Romby Bryant since you never know.

I still like Clemons and Jackson best out of all the receivers we've brought in thus far. Even though Jackson was here last year for a cup of coffee.

I agree.... I like them better than Darvin Adams 

If Darvin Adams was a recruit straight out of college, he'd be the best one we have on paper BY FAR. So I'm curious to see what he brings here.

 

What's with the Troy Stoudermire stuff? Did he win some sort of contest?

My guess is yes, he's won a lot of contests. lol

 

 

....and scared a lot of children.

I wonder if he could be arrested for indecent exposure while walking around with that thing??

Peters signed with the Vikings.

good for him as he lives in Ohio....shame for us as he is a very good LB

I don't see Peters as being a loss for us as he never was a Blue Bomber... Wild is a loss, Peters is a guy we might have had interest in or maybe not, it's hard to say. 

 

As for the new recruits, not sure why but the guy with the last name Lamar sounds familliar, maybe i'm thinking of the ticat player but... and just cuz it's the off-season, Lamar seems like a good last name for a CFL player. LOL. Plus if you really want to go ridiculous, Lamar McGriggs was a good player for us, a Linebacker at that, This new guy, last name is Lamar but.. it does seem like guys with the name Lamar in their first or last name are good CFL players. lol. 

 

Rodney Lamar, sounds like a football players name. Khalil Bass, Khalil is a football players name too. These guys have size and i'll be interested to see how the new recruits look.. one of these guys plus Benton, who i think is the darkhorse to take the MLB spot, it will be a fun thing to watch. The good thing is Bombers have recognized LB as an area of concern so they are signing a bunch of guys with size for that MLB spot i'm assuming. Assuming these 3 are MLB prospects just based on their size.
