Kramdi has become a versatile ratio option on defence, he allows them to play one less Natl. on the D-line.

Too bad we didnt

Solid depth signing for teams and rotation...but if we can't do better for that position than not sure what our staff is doing other than standing pat and not striving to be our best team

He's also 27 next TC so is/was that his ceiling? If so...we def can be better

[Mike]

I thought Kramdi was a stud by the end of the year and I also thought he was a near lock to head home to Montreal so colour me super happy with this one

21 years experience.........They really need to hire me to host these damn things.... Just throwing that out there, Ed and Darren!  

I want to see @Noeller join the Winnipeg Blue Bombers media crew for those times DT says nice stuff about the Riders. I fully expect Noeller to pull one of these when it happens.

Why would he tho ..he wouldn't crack that starters lineup...he knows he has easy access to a starter spot here..whether earned/deserved or not

He puts him self in position to make a lot of plays. If he finishes better he could be an excellent starter.

Kramdi looked awful his first few games as a starter but he really rounded into form nicely and was playing some very good ball at the end of the year. Good signing by the Bombers, his trajectory appears to be going up.

What problems do you see with the week 1 depth chart?

dunno...it's not out yet so will get back to you if I see one...but if Jackson is on it eating up a DA spot thats an epic fail if we didnt draft, or find and actual Canadian guy to fill the role via free agency or already on the roster...And if Thomas is back taking reps...another fail....Same with Kolo at center....

Kramdi's signing is a good one....He certainly has improved his game and if he continues down that road we have a nice piece returning....Cadwallader also re-signed ....good move and another player on the rise....Walters slowly bringing things together

I wouldn’t say Cadwallader is a player on the rise. He’s a high quality special teams tackling crash test dummy. That’s about it.

I wouldn't say that.  He can play cornerback, strongside linebacker and safety.  Teams wanted his versatility.

Agreed...but every team has those and needs those. As long as we pay him accordingly.

He's not quite there yet, but he is certainly showing improvement and the ability to get there.

We need those guys, too. A tackling crash test dummy is good, also. That's what happens to most Canadian players. They forge their career on Special Teams.

Gauthier is older (31) but he played out of his mind in the gc. If he can maintain any kind of similar play level he’d be an all star next year. If we won he would’ve been a good candidate for mop/moc. 
 Bolo, woli, Lawson and the back up ol boys are our nis on the rise.

Probably right. Hopefully we will have ford back and can platoon those two to start a ni db.

Looking forward to what Max Charbonneau 6'-3" 225 lbs. Natl. LB can bring to the table, draft pick last year that did not look out of place in the pre-season games.

Nichols back on a two year deal. Great signing.

Best cover DB in the CFL as far as I’m concerned! Glad to have him for two more years.
