M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Did Thomas Miles played yesterday? I believe he is one of the MLB candidates earlier in TC. Edited June 16, 2017 by M.O.A.B.

Noeller Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 I don't think anyone is "enamoured" with starting Hurl, but he's certainly not worth getting upset about. Definitely very intelligent. Maybe not as physically imposing as some would like. SPuDS 1
wbbfan Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 I think the question here is not why cant we sign one. Its why cant we find / develop one. And idk. Maybe its our system. A guy who can plug up the run and do some pass rushing shouldnt be hard to find. god knows BC and other teams have managed. But then some teams struggle to find DBs while we find tons.

Tracker Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 I have not been a fan of Hurl. If he is standing in the right spot and the play comes to him, he can cope. He doesn't seem to be able to recognize the unfolding play in time to flow to the right spot. If Poop Johnson is as good as or better than Okapalaugo, there's money to saved there, and maybe we can trade him for a good MLB.

Tracker Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Just now, M.O.A.B. said: again they play different position. The point is that Okpalaugo is earning a big dollar and hasn't stood out for two games now. The money could be better spent elsewhere-ie: MLB.

Jeffcoat, yeah sure he showed pretty well the last 2 pre-season games but I've seen that before with the other DEs brought to camp the previous years - Hubbard, Cole to name a few - and where are they now? You have to pay for top-end talent. Edited June 16, 2017 by M.O.A.B. blue_gold_84, Mr Dee and CodyT 3

Not singing Okpaluago means we probably start an American at DE which means we're likely starting Hurl at MLB regardless.

The money could be better spent elsewhere-ie: MLB. Kinda too late now as these decisions are made in January & February when it comes to setting budgets for free agency at each position. Myself, I think if we have to rely on Hurl as our starter because of ratio &/or money then we entirely missed the boat as an organization. He never showed in 2015 he was capable of being a starting Mac lber. Why do they think he is capable now?

Arnold_Palmer Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Oops. I wonder why I thought he was Canadian. My bad.

M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 My guess what will happen... The DL will be Westerman/Corney | Nevis/Johnson | Thomas/Butcher | Okpalaugo I think Ekakitie will be at the 46 to start the season. The LB will be Wild/Briggs/Gauthier | Hurl/Knox/Thomas | Leggett I think the rotation will be... - If Thomas or Butcher is in the other DT spot, we see Knox (or any Intl MLB) in the middle. - If Johnson is in the other DT spot. Hurl will be in the middle.

I'd be shocked if he makes the roster and I really only think he sticks around if they think they can turn him around to OL. Doug Brown has expressed this as well, that Butcher "is an O-lineman."

It's a sixth rounder. Nothing to cry about. Anyways if he can switch to OL that is an intriguing prospect. Edited June 16, 2017 by Atomic SPuDS, CodyT, blitzmore and 1 other 4

A 6th round pick. Why do you think Butcher will be like Lattanzio? Lattanzio was a hell of a CIS player who is undersized, there wasn't much doubt he could play somewhere in the CFL, at least special teams. SPuDS and Nash00 2

M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 and ithink they also mentioned that hes being doubled team a lot.
Fatty Liver Posted June 17, 2017 Report Posted June 17, 2017 Another option the Bomber could have drafted either of the Herdman bros. in a later round if they were planning on using a Natl. MLB.

It' so happens that with Poop Johnson's play they are considering to start to International @ both DT position and a National @ MLB to alter the ratio. Mr Dee and Noeller 2
