Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Im hoping we bring in a few hogs to compete for the RG spot n depth, lb to push hurl? Whats our current secondary? Randle, bucknor, leggett, macho harris (yuck), j. Adams? Id like to see a couple bodies competing Recievers, Dressler, denmark, smith, D adams, kohlert/jfg/richards? Is that a good enough starting line up there or do we need better? DE? Can turner be moved to the end? Or should we bring in new blood.

Floyd Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Turner not moving the DE... hopefully new blood, Green or Vaughn could have a feast with the push by rest of the line - really think Cappicotti's success had a lot to do with Shologan Replace Adams - hopefully Cone or Collins steps up No place for Hurl at $120k a year on this roster Bomber scouts are good at finding DBs Walters scares me when he says we're good at NI depth at OL - still talking like Neufeld is a starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueballz Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hurl is going to have to step up big time this year to justify what we are paying him. Hoping guys like Waggoner and J.Rush push him. Kind of hoping K.Knox is a strong candidate there and we have Waggoner and Sherman battle for the S position. DE, they seemed to like what they saw in D. Johnson and he didn't look that bad. Mackey intrigues me. We rotate guys on the line so Turner at end a few times again could happen. G. Jhomo was brought back, has the speed but need to see if he has the hands to match. Interested in seeing what kind of player R. Collins is. DB, Fogg and Kearney are interesting prospects. Might see Bucknor go if D. Jones steps up, Morgan can back him up. So back to your original question lol ...is Grymes still available? Wouldn't mind seeing them sign Fuller...

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Reading on riderfans grymes has a nfl tryout or 2 maybe and wont commit to anyone until may at the earliest. Might be worth keeping a tab on, but we wont know anything for a while. Only reason Id take a pass on fuller is health reasons. Nothing is worse then rotating ur roster week to week with ur starters in and out of the tub. Main reason it didnt bother me to see moore go, even tho he was a baller when healthy Edited February 11, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Blue&Gold Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Maybe another NI OL (Norman?) and/or Int OL for depth. Assuming Fuller is healthy and not looking at the NFL he would give us some good size at receiver. Couple of DEs still out there but maybe we're already set as BlueBallz pointed out (just not Peach). Other than that not much realistically left for us in FA. We did a very job on Day 1 covering our needs. The rest can be covered at the draft and from scouting. Which I know is no guarantee given our past track record but maybe this year we get it right. Fingers crossed. Blueballz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unfortunately it's looking like Neufeld us going to be a starter for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dascow Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) I've noticed that a few people around here are wanting to replace Darvin Adams. I would love to know the reasoning behind that thought. Adams did pretty well last year. In 15 games he had 839 yards and 5 touchdowns. If he plays 18 games that's over 1000 yards. What's wrong with that? I would personally like to see another DE to complete the D-line, but my real concern is with the secondary. Who will fill the open defensive halfback spot? That concerns me.

Blueandgold Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Who cares about stats. Adams is a marginal player, lazy player. He's a clone of Chris Brazzel at best. The road game in Ottawa(?) late last year where Matt Nichols threw at least two picks because Adams couldn't be bothered to fight for the ball said enough about him.

do or die Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 My hope is that someone like Dressler could be a role model for Darvin (who has some talent) and show him the right way to do things......

I kinda felt like we didnt really have a leader on offence last year, maybe due to injuries, but I seem to recall Milt being like a mentor for the new guys and not only keeping them in line verbally/mentally but also going out and showing them with his production too. Denmark and Moore never really stood out to me like that kinda player. I think Dressler could fit that mold given he's a perennial all star, and plays all out everytime hes on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think Moore was the vocal leader (seemed that way) but as mentioned, injuries hamper that, I'd think. It's all well and good to be Rah Rah on the sidelines, but if you're hurt for 12-13 games a year, it's tough to lead by example. Denmark has always seemed like a quiet guy...go out there and do it, but not necessarily a big talker. It'll be interesting to see what kind of role Dressler takes on in the locker room and on the sidelines... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope dressler can take the mantle of being the leader of our offense even though hes new to the fold. we definitely seemed to lack an identity on the offense. Willy and Dressler having previous history may make this transition easier. someone needs to step up regardless though on that side of the ball.

Huh...that's interesting. I personally don't remember seeing that, but maybe that's because by the end I was so apathetic about the Bombers that I missed it. Now that you say that though, I will be paying more attention to it this season. Adams has all of the tools to be great so hopefully this year he will be "encouraged" by a leader like Dressler to be more motivated because when motivated he can be a great weapon.

do or die Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Late in the year, Adams was dogging it on patterns and not fighting for the ball. That however is not a talent issue. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I remember the game where I believe both Moore and denmark were injured (maybe like week 5 or 6) and thinking Darvin who? as our go to guy and he stepped up huge in that win. the guy can be real good. But hes not the only one that took games off. last season was pretty deflatting both for the players and fans, especially those games we lost cuz of our kicker ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
