Mike Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I actually thought Montreal gave up on this guy too early, but chalked it up to them being loaded at linebacker. 22 years old. Thought he was a bright spot on their defense when we took it to them in the first PS game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Wtf? How many linebackers do we need? This guy better be a starter within a couple-three games or why are we doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Why are we doing this? Because good teams try to find better players all the team. It's football, if you aren't trying to bring in players to push your current players, then why bother. It's basic knowledge really. Why bring in this guy? Because the goal of a football team is to find players better than what they have. Bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Realistically how many of those 9 LBs are potential starters and how many are simply ST players listed as LBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Surprised that we didn't sign Ellsworth if LB was a need... thought he looked great last year Really surprised Hubbard did not get a shot at all... I expect to see Corney in heavy rotation soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Sometimes if you think a prospect is worth it you bring them in even if you have a lot of bodies at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFL said: Realistically how many of those 9 LBs are potential starters and how many are simply ST players listed as LBs? no such thing as a pure Ster in the cfl. Not enough roster spots. We have 2 back ups at OL with one starter whose highly injury prone. Carried 2 back up wrs and one went down in the first hand full of plays. BUT 4 of those guys have been cfl starters, burnett and waggoner project as high up side starters. Briggs and gauthier are sters as well but they are far from no up side guys. The number of starters who wont see action on STs are few and far between. Having guys just listed at that position to only play teams doesnt work with such small rosters.
