Not the smartest dude then.

Mike Posted December 12, 2023 Report Posted December 12, 2023 Farhan is going to blow smoke up any Canadian’s ass but Brady (and I say this as a HUGE fan who would love to see him in the NFL) has less than zero chance at making a NFL roster. What’s the appeal? He tests slower than defensive linemen, he’s not young for a rookie, he has no extensive experience contributing on special teams, he has a running style where the size won’t compute at the NFL level and on top of everything else, he’s a small school Canadian. If he wasn’t Canadian, we wouldn’t even be talking about this on this side of the border. JohnnyAbonny, JCon, Noeller and 2 others 3 2

SpeedFlex27 Posted December 12, 2023 Report Posted December 12, 2023 Gonna put this here rather than the RIP Thread so more posters will see it. One of the greatest Blue Bomber DE's who ever played died today. Jim Heighton played 13 seasons in the CFL from 1969 to 81. Including nine with the Bombers from 1970-78 where he was dominant. He was a CFL Western Conference All Star twice in 1972 & 74. He was 79 years of age. Stickem, HardCoreBlue, Tracker and 3 others 1 3 2

wbbfan Posted December 13, 2023 Report Posted December 13, 2023 Praise is an interesting guy likely to be in camp imo. Not the raw athletic type, more polished and a really good football player. A lot like Habba imo. Redmon is a dt not de. Buts he’s got elite athleticism for a de as a very lean 6’2 290. Fits in great with the second pass rushing dt like walker. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jalen-redmond/32005245-4461-3410-5102-5e80a97e82ca Ayers is a great prospect wil/smallish mlber. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/michael-ayers/32004159-4555-9722-5f4b-57ce957d05e3 Grownowski is an elite blue chip qb prospect in the cfl. I imagine it’ll take a while for him to work his way up if an nfl coach doesn’t fall in love with him. Witherstone is a big strong db, excellent tackler, big time play making potential, explosive first step and jumping. Not a guy who plays db because he’s small and can’t play wr. He’s got huge upside.

We don’t often have end up with our NL QBs here. The dl and dbs pretty high chance. I’d say very good chance we see two or more just of that list in this camp. Hart is gonna be 28 next year, hasn’t played at all this year after being a fringe guy for 3 years. Don’t see many fringe 5’8 180 guys pushing close to 30 in nfl tcs. I’d bet between 3-5 are signed for rookie camp. Redmon is a guy who could be down south a long time based on athleticism. I’m not betting on any of the QBs being here this coming season. Noeller 1
Mike Posted December 13, 2023 Report Posted December 13, 2023 Hart is the guy I think we can expect to see soonest for sure Noeller and wbbfan 1 1
rebusrankin Posted December 13, 2023 Report Posted December 13, 2023 Interesting piece in the Free Press about Brady. Apparently he wants to reset the market for running backs. I wonder how much he wants and how high Winnipeg would go?

No evidence to support that they wouldn't. We have had many rookies make our lineup over the past several years. Like any other player they will have to step up and grab a job. 22 minutes ago, Booch said: if he wants north of 185k....see ya....dont need to wreck our SMS when we can easily replace his production with an import back....his Canadian ratio spot there isn't a requirement or we fall apart....use part of his slary on an entry level RB...and funnel the rest to Schoen I can't see it being North of 185k.
