rebusrankin Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 On the NI receiver front, any chance they try to add Demski and Jake Harty?
Floyd Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Yeah its not sounding like Reed or Woods will end up here... Dean only if he's a value-signing... at least from that presser Wild-JSK-Leggett is not bad at all... sure need some legit depth though - still holding out hope for Konar Four of our key starters haven't finished a season for a while... Wild, Dressler, Adams and Neufeld... risky. rebusrankin 1

WhenI listen to it, I'm hearing that Hurl is not in the mix for the MACK. Walters is saying that Wild and Santos-Knox are both capable of playing that position and that they think that with the people they have already signed, they have a good group. Of course, if someone should become available that would be an upgrade and come at the right price, I've no doubt that Walters pulls the trigger. I think Hurl hits free agency and if there are no takers, he might be back at a special teamer level contract. Edited February 10, 2018 by WBBFanWest

It's sounds that way. But maybe he doesn't want to give away any hint on what their plan is in free-agency. If Santos-Knox is the plan for MAC. I don't mind Bass back to rotate on both WIL and MAC position. It's a cheaper option. Edited February 10, 2018 by M.O.A.B.

They need to have options in the event he needs a few games off.

It's another thing for him to want the Bombers. It's necessary for those two things to meet. (ie. Bowman)

Wild, Dressler, Adams and Neufeld... risky. Santos-Knox was great last year, but he was our WLB. Wild is also a WLB that has never played a full season including just 5 last year, and the year before that he forgot how to tackle. I'd much rather sign a proven stud MLB like Dean or Reed as opposed to re-arranging our current LB's and hoping for the best. I'd actually be onboard with signing one of those guys and releasing Wild. Leggett/Dean or Reed/Santos-Knox would be amazing.
blueingreenland Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Santos-Knox played MLB in college. I'm wondering if the Bombers have thoughts for him there. Wild is versatile and can play any LB position if need be.

He and Knox were both pegged as hopeful MACK candidates last year and, by all accounts, were given every opportunity to take the job. Unfortunately everyone sucked, apparently, and Hurl was the most capable. Tracker 1

Absolutely there were better candidates in TC - but the Bombers had MLB pencilled in as NI basically from day one.
bb1 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Yeah Santos- Knox is great , but because of injuries and weak MLB we have to look at an upgrade here. Rolling with Wild and Legget is a big time gamble. And another year with Hurl at MLB is a recipe to really get Hall fired.? I'm sure Walters has something cookin...? Mark F 1
Dirty30 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Hopefully the scouts do their job this year and bring in a beast of a mlb. Mark F 1
Atomic Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 An interesting darkhorse candidate could be Reggie Northrup who is a pending free agent from the Alouettes. He only got into 4 games near the end of the season but had 22 tackles. 6'1", 231 lbs, 24 years old. 281 tackles in 49 games at FSU. Fred C Dobbs, Tracker, rebusrankin and 2 others 5

Was kind of worried when he said it was the whole defence's fault... and we have like 3 all-stars on the boundary side and Westerman/Leggett once removed from all-star status... If we blow up this D and somehow Hall and Hurl are left standing... ummm...
DR. CFL Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 If you look at the number of tackles that MLbs make in this league, yes 90 and 100 plus , how can you say this is not a priority?
DR. CFL Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 I am not sure that the one year contracts were the cash cow that the players thought FA would bring them. Too many players, looking for a pay day that is only really there for a limited number in the salary cap era.
Booch Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 If finally healthy Evan Gill woukd be better than thomas andcsteele..and cheaper JSK came to camp late last year..so had no time to grab the MLB spot..but was good enough to stick around..then make his way into starting line-up He played all the positions in college and excelled at all..id have no issues with him in the middle.. has the skill set to play it..and body wise is similar to Singletons so for you people enamoured with position based on body type he should do just fine. Hopefully we can land Dean..ibthink he would make biggest impact for us and a unit with him..Santos Knox and Leggett with Wild rotating in would be a nice group. That being said I am looking forward to seeing J.Jones in camp..could be a real sleeper Fred C Dobbs and Mark F 2
