Adams taking the Terrence Edwards path to CFL success potentially?

 

If we could get Edwards like production out of Adams I'll be a happy .. happy man.

Truthfully, Greaves was never going anywhere .. that was just a lot of idle speculation by fans ..

Wasn't it speculated by a media source?

Says a lot about going with conventional wisdom and drafting an OL at number 2 instead of getting starry eyed for a local boy as well. I get an impending sense of doom from the Bomber fans in the alternate universe in which we picked Demski at number 2.

Welcome to the starting lineup, Sukh.

 

I honestly don't mind that prospect all that much. Sucks to lose a lineman though.

Free agent signee Darvin Adams continues to make difficult and impressive grabs in #Bombers camp. IMO, the Z receiver spot is his to lose.

I can't see them playing Adams at the Z spot. That must be a mistake.

Yea, The Greaves going somewhere rumor had no real substance whatsoever. If anyone was to be traded once all things shook out after camp and we could determine that we did have some roster and ratio flexibility with the O-linemen then truth be told it would probably have been Neufeld on the block...not Greaves.

 

If we have learned anything over the last few years it's Greaves is dependable and not prone to missing time. Also been more than adequate and that's been playing alongside garbage that affected his performance. Need to remember he is a D-line convert and learning as he goes...apprenticing on the fly so to speak.

 

So this year, with the dudes beside him his game should elevate and he will and should hit his potential, and next year if our two new recent pics continue to develop and push him out of starters role and we draft and develop another newbie, or acquire via free agency another younger cheaper canuck, well then he can be trade bait for a new need, as he would be a costly 6th or 7th olineman.

Kirk Penton Article ... It never made sense Greaves has been one of our best OL for years, rarely gets beat...

Beautiful catch by kris bastien and sukh Chung has a minor shoving match with Sammy brown at blue bomber camp

Btw, it's good to see that these media people covering the Bombers TC, putting some updates/tweets out there.

Apparently some of the feedback they were getting from fans was ... bad. I know this site played a fairly big part in it, so good job everyone!

Again, it was idle speculation with nothing backing it .. and as dependable (health wise) as Greaves has been ... let's not overstate how effective he is .. he is (has been) part of the problem with the interior of our line.

Not going to get into it with you .. but there was NOTHING that ever said Greaves was on the block.  Teams may be been inquiring .. but he wasn't going anywhere.  Hell, the whole Penton article was speculating, connecting the dots with respect to cap conditions and was premised on rumors.

Kirk Penton may not invent stories, but Kirk can get burned just as easily as any other media member by sources he previously trusted. Or are you suggesting Kyle Walters was the one who told him Greaves was on the block?

Yeah unlike all those other times when someone is on the block and we went to CFL.ca and clicked "Trading Block" and saw their names there.  Gimme a break.. anytime you hear someone is on the block it is based on rumours.  Choose to believe them or not but Penton has shown he has good sources and he doesn't make stuff up.  Maybe teams were inquiring, maybe Walters was inquiring if teams were interested.  We don't know... but if Penton says talks took place, then you can take it to the bank.

Let me simply ask you this ..

 

Knowing the (lack of) quality non-import depth we have along our offensive line .. question marks surrounding Neufeld's durability and Goosen's (and our rookies) ability to make the jump .. do you sincerely believe that Greaves was going to go anywhere? Or is it more likely that a reporter was looking at a scenario .. maybe heard that a few teams were kicking the tires .. and said reporter was simply connecting the dots and then asking question, "Would this make sense?"

 

I'll leave you with that.

I can't let gullibility go unchecked .. perhaps it's a fault of mine. 

I believe there is a Greaves trade thread no? Lets keep this one about TC today.

I hope they moved Neufeld to the 6-game IR and pickup a free-agent OL for depth (like Peach, Mercer...)

Do I believe Greaves was going to go anywhere?  Yes I do, if Walters received an offer that blew him away.  Just being "on the block" doesn't mean "OH GOD SOMEONE TAKE THIS PLAYER", it means conversations were taking place.  And I believe they were.  Not my fault that you're so desperate to believe that Walters would never do anything that doesn't directly line up with your thought process.  Funny how Penton's version is based on sources, which he has proven he has, and your version is based on "this is what I think probably happened."

Yeah I think he mentioned someone playing the SAM as well where it didn't make much sense to me.
