We jumped the shark lol. Should we cut Evan Holm still? No Mike Kelly.......Yeah Jake Kelly....way more upside than both...already a better ST player...maybe on Par with Hallett....but thats his (Hallett's) ceiling....way better cover skills than Hallett too....wtf shark u yammering about? Never said cut Holm either....but he not the best option we could have at HB....But he is our best option for Safety tho and I bet its not even close....would love him to be there TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ironic that you **** on some guys who have huge and productive tenure based on pedigree but want someone who we've barely seen play who came from the least competitive conference in U Sports anointed.

I just think it’s weird that you want to start Jake Kelly or Miles Fox because they can “grow into” a role but you don’t want to let Kramdi “grow into” his role and you didn’t want to let Evan Holm “grow into” his role. The messaging is inconsistent and let’s be honest, it’s no different than the major beef you seem to have with O’Shea: he plays favourites. So do you, they just aren’t his favourites. At least admit it 😂 Goalie, Rex_Banner, Jesse and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among imps Cole would be my choice. Juan Lua was a college S among the rookies. Parker has a lot of the skills to excel at S. For ni, kramdi would be a top choice. Kelly has the speed and intangibles to be a good one if he develops. If Cole is much better at wil, I think kyrie would work there too. Biggie has played deep cover extensively and Id actually rather see him at S than getting eaten up by ol half the time but we won’t do that. Keep in mind some of the awful Ss we’ve run out when ba has been hurt and before he swapped. A lot of guys could fill in Better than that. 24 minutes ago, Mike said: I just think it’s weird that you want to start Jake Kelly or Miles Fox because they can “grow into” a role but you don’t want to let Kramdi “grow into” his role and you didn’t want to let Evan Holm “grow into” his role.

At least admit it 😂 Imo, Kramdi could grow into his role by being the extra db, platooning and subbing in for certain situations. Ill say it’s a big difference between expecting an imp dt to be able to play right away vs an ni to be able to cover. But young guys do need chances. And I think we need to take lumps right now and identify the next wave of impact players. Edited May 13 by wbbfan rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramdi already has far more starts. He’s a fringe starter, where as Augustine is a fringe roster guy. I think Kramdi in tc is kramdi last year in term of discussion. But I would be optimistic that his experience as a starter and the point in his career would lead to a step forward which likely makes it a none discussion. We’ve started some bad Ss and Sams. Kramdi is a lot better than that. Idk when the last time we had a bad starting rb with out better options (or injured) Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTonOB Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I've been trying to figure out the snaps where it looks like Kramdi is playing safety. I think it's actually Nichols who they're moving to safety. It's during the skeleton period so it's very tough to tell. The reps in question come when put Tyrique McGhee in at the boundary corner and move Parker into half. bearpants, Fred C Dobbs, JCon and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s serviceable at worst. Definitely deserves to be out there, just some of us think there’s some more talent to be had at that position. I wouldn’t lump Augustine in with guys like Jackson or Shmeckel either. Augustine and Kramdi are decent-solid. Fatty Liver and Brandon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 (edited) Think bighill might be my biggest concern at linebacker. Thought Kramdi played well and was noticeable in good ways during the later part of the season. I don’t think kramdi even is a top 3 to 5 concern of mine. 1. tackle 2 defensive tackle 3 defensive end opposite Jefferson 4 BA 5 Bighill Kick returner is a bigger concern also yeah not in my top 5 Schmekel not gonna be on game day roster he’s a cut or pr bound since we start a cdn DT Edited May 14 by Goalie wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I think Kramdi's development is right on track. I also don't think he would have started on any other team but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's good that the Bombers place greater trust in their young Canadians than most teams. That investment has often paid off. And at this point in his career... 27 years old, 4th year player... Kramdi should be hitting his prime. So let's see what he can do. Noeller, Brandon and wbbfan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these situations he likes to say something to the effect of "they learn all the positions". Some guys are a little more revealing, like Brian Cole talking about moving to DB and backing up Redha.

bluedawg Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Haven't been using this forum for long, but find it remarkable how hard-headed and negative a few of the folks on here are...... Having an opinion and voicing it on a forum like this is exactly what it's for but some of what I see on here crosses the line from supporting the team to arrogance and name-calling. It's really really weird to me. Shouldn't the discussion on here be about which new young rookies are stepping up from the ones on here that have come to practices to watch so far? This is supposed to be a time for excitement not dumping on Redha Kramdi (who seems to be a decent player coming into his own). Don't want to ruffle any feathers in here but golly where's the positivity in what should be a hopeful time of the year!!!!!!! martypants100 and Jesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one in particular is interesting as many of us were pleading to have Haba get more time last year... And hopefully he's on pace to break through this year....

Lber in general is my biggest lber concern. Kyrie isn’t a spring chicken and hasn’t been able to stay health either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
