Wonder who or if Walter's has talked to who is free from nfl...I'd like to hear he been in james vaughters ears about a playoff push...a rotation with the Jeff's and him would be lethal...

[Bubba Zanetti]

Bringing in bodies at random solves nothing and only adds to the frustration. Gotta be the right people, and I trust Walters and Co to do that.

The Bombers will announce some practice roster signings next week.

Some other teams have already added to their practice rosters. However, the PR only expand for 30 days. So the longer teams wait to add players the longer into the season you can keep them around.

Walters also brought in a vet FG kicker, last year....who helped us win another cup...

they are looking to make high quality moves not high quantity I’m sure.

We already signed a DB last week who has some upside. The guy who's missing a couple digits. It might be in the teams best interest though to move Alexender to halfback and stick with the Canadian safeties who were playing quite well. Is Houston done for the year?

I've noticed teams are following the Bombers lead and taking the run game a lot more seriously lately, quite a few teams have brought in fresh new RB's that run with power instead of recycling old worn out scat backs that mostly try to dodge tackles, as in years past.  A number of good ones have made their appearance this season including Hills in Hamilton.

Tuning up for the playoffs the Bombers are going to have to cut down on Bighill's other responsibilities so he can get back to MLB basics, shutting down RB's before they reach the secondary.

I'd be happy to see McRae and Olivera out there more 👍. My anxiety is always better when the ball isn't in the air.

The team has added three players to the practice roster:

• Raleigh Texada (DB) 
• Payton Muljo (OL)
• Liam Fornadel (OL)

Texada is an elite run jump athlete. Track guy in hs and college sounds like a high motor work ethic guy.

Not overly tall.  Hopefully he can make that up with smarts and jump skills.

Yeah his frequent description as stocky but listing as 5 10 and 188 leads me to think he’s likely a bit shorter than that. from what I saw he had excellent testing numbers though. 38” vert 10’+ broad 4.3-4.4 40. 
 I’m guessing we will see both new dbs get a shot this year.

He must be the younger brother of Ranthony Texada DB in Mtl., both born in Frisco Tx.

Would not be surprised.  Ranthony was in camp with us last year so the team was already familiar with him.

That's what I thought but couldn't quite remember.

[rebusrankin]

I'd like to see more DL and LB brought in.

I like seeing DBs come in, I’m good on Import OL

Clearly not 5’10.

Looks 5’8

I wonder if Houston is coming back by season’s end. 
 

Hopefully

Agree. We being in some imp ol every year at this point. I think it’s mostly early camp auditions though we are critically thin on ol depth right now. 
 

fornadel also isnt a guy brought in on a whim. He’s a bad dude. He was a part of one of the best pass blocking ols with the dukes. He has an incredibly strong upper body. Needs to be less reliant on it. But he does have good foot work too.  He’s quicker than he tests he can get down field and keep the pile moving  and he’s really nasty. Just how the mafia likes it. 
 He’s a blue chip tackle prospect. I think he could project much better to the cfl game vs the nfl. Won’t see the huge des that are crazy athletes the yard off the ball might play into his style as well.
