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?

 

 

 

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.

SMH.

 

 

IDK what SMH means.  Silly Meat Hat??? 

 

 

Slight Maturity Hindrance.

Shave My Head?

Shave My Heard?

So after I throw his name out there as a guy I thought was pretty good, the Bombers cut Jerrell Jackson.

 

lol

You and Aards are really carrying around a bad case of the jinx today. At BB.com, Aards told us we should watch out for Pall now that he has real coaching...CUT. Now you with Jackson.

On behalf of all current Bombers under contract, I will please ask you not to mention any more names today, lol

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.

So if I change my name to Lamar do I get an invite to training camp?

MAN WE SHOULD REALLY LOOK OUT FOR THAT EJ KUALE

 

 

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.

 

Not to mention a fair number of livestock.

Please don't pump Willy's tires today!

You learn how to spin properly and it's no concern. All you have to do is explain that they're just removing any possible competition that their prized free agent signing Darvin Adams might have.

Yea I chuckled as I read your praise for the guy... Oh well, ya can't win em all lol

Apparently.. Football names as a basis for being good..

Oh lawwwdy! off-season plz end nows

Hi Peoples,

 

I brought this thread up because I keep seeing articles saying we need to replace both Wild and Sears.  I know Wild signed with the Steelers.  What's the story with Sears?  My googling and searches are coming up empty.

 

Thanks in advance.

Sears is still a free agent.

I believe there is still a possibility that he returns next season.

Sears is stil exploring NFL opportunities.

So the stories about finding guys at the Mini-Camps to replace Sears and Wild are only "half truth"?  haha

It's full truth technically cuz if someone looks better then sears would have then he takes Sears job as sears isn't even a bomber right now... Longer sears plies his trade elsewhere, shorter his chance of being a bomber starter or even a bomber become..
