BBlink Posted May 21, 2019 Report Posted May 21, 2019 Sounds like Matthews and Whitehead have been real standouts so far as far as newcomers. Any DBs standing out? I'm also worried they didn't bring in enough competition for the Wil spot. How is that looking?
Brandon Posted May 21, 2019 Report Posted May 21, 2019 In regards to rallying the team... last season it was night and day different between Streveler and Nichols. Nichols had moments but the offense fell into deep lulls with him being scared to make quick reads and doing a lot of safe dump offs. Streveler got the guys going big time, with his legs and with his quick strikes the team from a fans view looked way more energized and enthusiastic once he was in the game. Two seasons ago the guys rallied behind Nichols but last season not so much. It also didn't help that he sounded more whiny last season blaming everything else aside from his own poor play. I'm hoping this season it is not a repeat. Tracker and Bubba Zanetti 2

It will be a wicked battle for the returner spot. Maxx Forde came over and chatted with us and couldn’t stop raving about the city and the organization. There will be some really really tough cuts with this team. One of the vets even joked with us that teams like sask and bc will be patiently waiting to pick through our cuts and sign them. Saskatchewan does that for every team's cuts. Albertabomberguy, SPuDS and shadybob 1 2

He throws a damp towel over the Bomber enthusiasm. In my opinion, where he doesn’t merit too much attention is he does not balance the losses with the gains. This Bomber team, especially with the key additions, is strong with several 2nd year (and more) who have been on this team and who know the system. They’re good players. So, it’s his opinion..and he’s welcome to it, and that’s where it ends. shadybob, Tracker and bearpants 1 2

Booch Posted May 21, 2019 Report Posted May 21, 2019 Where Winnipeg is ahead of a lot of teams and will(should) be key early on is that with our continuity on both sides of ball we are already installing things above and beyond the basic stuff and the guys have already have the playbooks mastered more or less..especially on offence.. so we should hit field game 1 actually continuing on from last year SPuDS 1
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 21, 2019 Report Posted May 21, 2019 That Toronto preview is even worse. Argos stack up with any receiving corps in the league. Old Jimmy Ralph the 4th receiver with 70 yards last season. Floyd, Noeller and wbbfan 3

SpeedFlex27 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Posted May 21, 2019 I think we're all amazed at the fact Taylor Loffler has lived off his reputation of 2016. I think he was among the worst starting safeties in the CFL last season yet he was given the All Star nod. With free agency, every team has holes to fill. We're fortunate to only have a few. I'm confident that we'll be just fine. Better than fine. Bubba Zanetti and Tracker 1 1
Floyd Posted May 21, 2019 Report Posted May 21, 2019 Its a bit much jumping on Loffler... he was exactly what we needed when we didn't have a legit MLB... Bighill made his style of S redundant and he had to change his game - in the second half of the season, he was still very good And Mike Edem was the worst starting safety in the league... followed closely by Anthony Thompson Bigblue204 1
