coach17 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Okpalaugo signing is probably better than anything we're going to get in free agency next week. With him and Stafford signing management is filling some key weakness. Boy I like these moves. JCon and Super Duper Negatron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Great signing! I'm going to get a Okpalaugo jersey for sure, it'll look swell beside my Unapalomablanca jersey. The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) So one hole down. What's left are: NT, 3T, Nat WR, KR and probably a WIL Would love to see Brooks (BC) he thought he was mis-used on Lions DL. He wants to play the 3T. Edited February 9, 2017 by M.O.A.B.

Goalie Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Probably a couple defensive tackles... 1 from the draft likely to rotate with Thomas and u know what... padric Scott looked legit when he got a shot so wouldn't be surprised if he gets a shot? LB? Doubt it... Leggett Knox Wild is what it will be. Kr? Fogg is good. Looks like backup nat RB(LaFrance ) and maybe nat receiver but again that's probably in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 - Okanagan monster myth Okpalaugo - Real Bomber monster DE So, Mr. Walters has been busy behind the scenes coming up with this nice surprise development. It's a nice before-Free Agency signing to lead us into next week's frenzy. Suddenly, the need to rush to the table seems less urgent. Nice move..

Mike Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 With so many defensive tackles out there, I'll be surprised if we don't grab one. Probably american at this point. Cash, Nevis, Johnson, Cummings, Brooks ... who am I forgetting? I wouldn't mind ANY of those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 My concern right now is NI starters-Chungh/Gossen/Loffler/Harris/Westerman/JFG makes 6, curious where #7 comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the Bombers will stick with one NAT at the other DT position - whether it's with Thomas, Butcher or if they pickup the other Westerman. Edited February 9, 2017 by M.O.A.B.

Booch Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 no knock on Jake but that would be a serious step backwards. He works well in rotation but even then we can do better. As a fulltime starter he would wear down fast, also if yiu watch game film he is the slowest guy to react and get out of his stance at the snap...very slow as guys are already up and moving while he still in 3 or 4 point...go watch some pvr'd game if you have it. Also as a game goes on he gets washed out on plays a lot..great motor..i sure great guy but not starter material TBURGESS and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a sack every now and again is great, but the D-lineman has to be involved in every play, at least gumming things up rather than being a speed bump 9 of 10 plays.
