#Bombers add three INTs to the PR: DL Ethan Farmer, RB B.J. Catalon, REC Spencer Davis. The club has released INT RB Steve Miller.

Big Country!

 

I like Farmer and Catalon ... both really intriguing guys. Don't know anything about Davis.

Next week we'll be reading: the club has signed INT RB Nobody Special and INT REC Nobody Who Will Last a Week and the club released INTs DL Ethan Farmer, RB B.J. Catalon, REC Spencer Davis.

The revolving door continues....

Nothing wrong with that.

I got a feeling one or two of these guys will be around again. Catalon looks like the perfect CFL back.

Davis looks to be a real long-shot to make the team. Not particularly big (5'7") and quick but not a burner. Seems to be a leader and smart but will probably be an also-ran.

So some people are thinking that it's a bad thing to bring in people, give them a look, and if they aren't what we're looking for, release them and move on?  Personally, I like the approach because at the very least it gives us a jump on TC next year.  Hopefully, we'll find some players that we want to invite back next year and we'll avoid ones that we've already seen and found wanting.   And who knows we might even find a keeper or two in the meantime.

Actually quite the opposite.....because they're constantly working to upgrade, and not just sitting on "Ehhh, good enough....."

Just stopping by to say that the Purple Chrome helmets are pretty cool.

The opposite...means they are going to keep looking and trying until they find what they want. You really think you can pick the best player first time every time?

Next week, after they drop spencer, they should sign Jeff Beck, or Jimi Page.

 

Either  would be a good additions since they are both very heavy.

Seriously....  If we don't make moves, people *****... If we do?  Yep, people *****.

I've got no problem with the quick looks.  It's like a mini-camp or the free agent tryouts they put on.  If they don't show something, you don't waste a spot or time on them & move on to the next guy.

People should be looking at these moves as an audition for next years training camp rather than immediate help.The days of bringing a bunch of NFL cuts up for immediate help at the end of the season are over. 

Never know when you'll find a gem, keep bringing them in until you find one

No, no....you bring in a very limited number of players for a look....... because there are very few variables to consider, when evaluating talent.....

How is Catalon at running right into the middle of the field?

BJ Catalon runs alot like CJ Gable.

No prob whatsoever with bringing players in for a looksee, no matter what time in the season. Cal Murphy did that all the time and unearthed quite a few gems (I believe Greg Battle arrived that way). What is the harm? Seriously?

Really? How many of these revolving door guys is on the roster right now? It is one thing to continue to bring in people but if it not producing anything of note then, well ... I would totally agree with you if there was evidence that it was producing results but like the rest of what this regime is doing there just isn't any evidence to back up all this faith people have in them. This is a 5-11 team that is only in the hunt for a play-off spot because there are equally crappy teams losing around them.

There is no problem with it if it producing results. It is not and therefore those responsible should be up for review before continuing their employment. Why pay people for not fulfilling their job duties?

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay ...
