Guest J5V Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 If Simmons is as good as he was with Ottawa, the thought of a Simmons-Bass-Wild linebacking corps makes me positively giddy. Who of those 3 is covering a slotback? Bass or Wild. I don't know if Simmons has the speed. Neither do the other two. Randle isn't going anywhere, and even if he is you're still playing a DB in that spot. Not sold on Randle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quietly become an elite SAM in this league, no question. He had a bad game at the start of the season.

17to85 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 The linebackers have really settled down as the year has gone on, but to me Wild is just the kind of player you make room for. Add Wild and improve the defensive line (outside of Westerman who is playing great) and then the D starts to look pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweep the leg Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I thought Justin Cole looked decent against the Stamps. Worth another look for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basslicker Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 A 3 4 d might not be terrible either I dont think our DL is dominant enough for a 3-4 D Our Dline is so weak would it make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 need a really good NT before you can run an effective 3-4. Anderson is stepping into that role but its not natural for him. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'd go back to Calgary if i was him... Really the Lions have a better chance? Man they are 3-5 and look every bit as bad if not worse than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I would take the Bombers you have the sack leader on the other side going to get less double teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Wild and improve the defensive line (outside of Westerman who is playing great) and then the D starts to look pretty solid. Replace Hurl with Wild and add a pass rusher and the front 7 would be vastly improved. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmillerywg Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Wild is not a MLB. Wild was our starting MLB all last year in Etch's D he probably undersized for MLB under Richie's D... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who of those 3 is covering a slotback? Bass or Wild. I don't know if Simmons has the speed. You seriously want one of those guys covering receivers like Green and Dressler? This team uses two linebackers, not three. Our D is a 4-2-6. Hell, it looks like a 5-1-6 on a lot of occasions because Hurl's usually jumping into a gap right after the snap.

M.O.A.B. Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Arash Madani @ArashMadani Shawn Lemon, a #CFL free agent, likely signs (between BC, Ottawa, WPG) in the next 24-48 hours. WPG putting on full-court press to land him. Arash Madani @ArashMadani Shawn Lemon, a sought-after #CFL free agent, is doing his due diligence by contacting WPG/OTT/BC coaches and players to find the right fit.

Booch Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 If this is true then I would think we are the front runners to be honest. Contrary to what alot of people on here think, or claim, we have a lot going for us organization wise, facility wise and fanbase wise. We are truly a few quick pieces and tweeks to becoming legit contender, and a compliment to Westerman is the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
