STs is where the loss is. Best of luck to a great guy and somebody who was a great Bomber. Blue-urns 1
Mike Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 I know it’s not a glamorous area for most guys but our already mediocre special teams depth got absolutely pillaged today. We’re going to have to hope guys like Jake Kelly, Bret McDougal and a few others are ready for those roles. JohnnyAbonny, Piggy 1 and Bigblue204 3

Noeller Posted February 13 Author Report Posted February 13 I assume that punter is staying because we need him as a global with Hansen gone. And we'll try and run 2 each game so that we can have the extra roster spot that comes with it...

The extra roster spot (45th player) can be eithera Global OR National. Noeller 1

By all accounts he can boom them, and has a more traditional style. I thought Jake Kelly was very good in his limited reps last year. I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t take over a larger ST role.

Secondly, Jared Beeksma linebacker, 2022 5th round pick by Hamilton, has a special teams background (snapper) has been in the Bomber camp since last summer. The Bombers have in house talent available, I believe.
sweep the leg Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Was our punt coverage bad? I can’t remember, but I know our kickoff coverage stunk.

For a Mike Oshea coached team it was embarrassing. And when Grant was out we had of hope of even keeping the field position game close via specials. Tracker, sweep the leg, Noeller and 2 others 4 1

bustamente Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 (edited) Not the same player after his injury, hardly noticed him last year when he finally made it back onto the field. Edited February 14 by bustamente Stickem, rebusrankin and Goalie 3
bluedawg Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Thiadric Hansen is probably cooked after the Achilles. Plus he's 31. Assuming Koromoko will compete with the 21st Canadian for a special teams type of role. Then maybe a battle for the punting job this year between the guy we had last year and another global? I will say, I see doom and gloom around here on the lack of signings but I think there's going to be A LOT of competition this year from young Canadians and Americans fighting for legitimate roles on the team. That should get people excited. Might be some growing pains but I'd think the plan would be coach the young guys up and let them get experience throughout the season and hope to gel by the time playoffs role around.
Goalie Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 (edited) The time to panic is after game 1 lol not now. Still gonna sign lots of intriguing prospects I’m sure with cool names. Still got the cdn draft and global draft. (Is that a thing still? ) we got 10 picks in the cdn draft no. That’s lots of potential special teams players lol. Ronnie Brown is an exciting prospect. Cruickshank looks interesting. Chris Smith looks to have some ability. Should be fun times. Hopefully see some DL prospects brought in. Wouldn’t surprise me if we in on a Kongbo type still. Time for our Scouts to find a couple dbs and a couple DT and DEs. Everything else looks ok to me. Edited February 14 by Goalie

Smith was looked at/projected as a legit NFL elite returner..so curious if he takes over the McRae role...but only being a huge return threat and way more effective on offence Piggy 1 1
Goalie Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Regarding the punter. I thought he boomed them quite often when they let him. I’m not sure he’s the guy out there kicking weird ****. They also fired the sp teams coordinator so…. have they named a new one yet or is OSH taking it on.
