Jimmy Pop Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 In 2006 we were just looking for 3rd generation named players?! Robert Baker's punch to Prefontaine is one of my favourite "only in the CFL" moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Albert Johnson the third. great player. I think he played for san francisco at one point. Quote I compiled a list of import receivers that we brought in over the years... I did this quickly so I may have missed a few. Interesting, thanks for the effort.... I remember people thinking both of these guys had potential, I guess it was in camp. Neither got to play much if at all...

wbbfan Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Wrs arent easy to recruit imop. Tons of guys come in looking like they should be monsters and many dont put it together for various reasons. Id say WR is the biggest crap shoot. You can have guys come in with so so previous careers and blow up, and studs come in and flame out quick. RB is the easiest position to recruit imop. Its soo easy to get the ball in their hands, and they have 5 lineman whose job it is to get them a gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't believe its the receiver talent base .... Rather it's the offensive coordinator and how he handles the new prospects .... its how not who You have a good development system or you don't .... see Buono & Hufnagel & Baker & other past great dynasties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon37 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 On January 20, 2016 at 1:47 PM, Blueandgold said: I'm starting to wonder if this whole ''recruiting receivers is easy'' is just a myth? Seriously, since Taman brought in Bruce & Simon over 15 years ago what home grown talent have the Bombers brought in? That's with Richie/Taman/Kelly/Mack/Walters, so we can't just point the finger at one regime. We had Denmark, but who else? We had absolutely no one besides Milt Stegall from 2004-2007 until we picked up Terrance Edwards off the scrap heap from Montreal (so that's the second recruit) and signed Derrick Armstrong. I literally can't think of any other decent receiver we've recruited since then aside from Denmark & Edwards. Does anyone else have ANYONE whatsoever? I guess Romby Bryant would be another, even though I'll never condone the piss poor effort he displayed in 2009. Then you look at a team like Ottawa who made the Grey Cup this year, yes they were an expansion team in their second year, but they also had four highly paid 1000 yard receivers and 5th highly paid scrub. Toronto was able to bring in Gurley and Hazelton this year, but aside from that teams around the league seem to be struggling to bring in impact receivers. The problem we face here is identical to the one in Saskatchewan, BC and Montreal. Everything is a challenge for Winnipeg. Considering they have the weakest scouting of any professional sports team anywhere it is a surprise they find any talent at all. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Titus Ryan!!! Ah, the good old days where Mike Kelly kept cutting our best receiver but also bringing in new guys who would have two great games and disappear...

rebusrankin Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 One the of funniest sports chants I ever read about involves Austin Peay's basketball team in the 70's. Star player is Fly Williams. The chant, "The Fly is open, let's go Peay." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
