17to85 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I noticed D'Abreau (or however he spells it) a bunch too, but if rivers is a guy they've been high on for a while he will naturally get more chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 All our imp dl played well. Thing is, playing well against starting rider ol vs 4th string riders ol is a big difference. JohnnyAbonny, Bigblue204 and HardCoreBlue 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Obviously based on more than just the games. Obviously rivers is more impressive in these practices nobody on here attends. BBlink, Fatty Liver, Pepper_Brooks and 1 other 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold_Palmer Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I really like what Walters and the team are doing with their DL so far, they’re really committed on getting a better, deeper unit this season. rebusrankin, wbbfan and Noeller 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet was on Ontaria Wilson to take the receiver spot, but if they're looking for a bit of Bailey grit, who knows. Maybe they can insert Clercius whenever grit is called for, and go with overall receiving skills other times. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFO, coachability, toughness, prep and off field work ethic. The stuff you don’t get as much of from scouts and conversations with coaches. That and how quick they pick things up.

Case, if he is willing, will almost certainly be brought back for the PR imo. 1 minute ago, wbbfan said: More than any thing I think they look at the less tangibles.

Goalie Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 (edited) I feel case will be back once healthy. Tait did a piece on him so I’m assuming once healthy. But also did one on Ronnie brown so who knows. Edited May 27 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, he’s an A++ get. D’abreau was maybe more a B+. The couple weeks a head isn’t critical at this point. 3 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Crazy when you think Bombers will have to make 35-40 cuts at once.

Tracker Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 16 hours ago, Fatty Liver said: In that case it might be wise to identify an import RB that can approximate Brady's running style and stick him on the PR for the season in case they need him. Augustine or Rosery aren't capable of sustaining a ground and pound running game and not sure MCI can fill that role either yet. The Riders found a poor man's version of Ouellette in Ratkovich to pound the ball if he goes down, I could see their running game being much improved this season. I do not see Chris Ike mentioned anywhere above, Its probably asking too much, but so far he looks like he could be another Oliviera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see that at all, to be honest. I don’t think the Bombers do either. MCI is a utility player, they’re hoping he fills a role like a Kalinic. His most productive college season was significantly less productive than Oliveira‘s least productive, his career YPC is not good and he caught exactly one pass in college. I think anyone who thinks he’s here to be a running back is fooling themselves. blue85gold, rebusrankin, Piggy 1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup he is here to allow us not to waste a DI spot this yr....and actually be a threat out of backfield if ignored.....and fill out the ST roster I think as well we will see at least 10 guys deleted prior to the game...they should know by now prety much who the fringe guys are that aren't gonna be kept 1 hour ago, wbbfan said: Exactly, agree with all that.
