He was decent on special teams just gave the team nothing on defense I think he's done with football completely. The fact it got to the physicals suggests he showed up in bad shape.

Bennett was an undersized pick that basically needed to get some muscle on his bones. I am thinking the Bombers gave him a timeline to do that or they were gonna cut bait and he didn't git er dun. rebusrankin 1
wbbfan Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 31 minutes ago, Bigblue204 said: If you watched Bennet play last year you'd know why that's a bad bet. He just doesn't belong in the CFL. He stood out in a bad way while on the field. Bennet was a low upside guy as well. He was like 26? When we drafted him. He had some bend and quickness that they hoped would translate to being an early rotational candidate and teams player. Only he wasn’t nearly good enough. This is a great cut. And a great sign for the team this year. Schmekel they probably want to have more inside bodies. Iirc mos talked in a video earlier this year about what they like about him. Big body Canadians are worth keeping around if you think you can develop them. Seems fine for a tc body but barring injury or mass improvement I would expect him to be cut at some point.

Bennett just got completely manhandled last year. I don't think his skill level was a problem but if you don't have the strength you don't have the strength. Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 2

Bad picks happen, the Bombers didn't hang onto him out of ego though.

The Bombers should not have rolled the dice that he would do so at his age. In fairness with all the covid effect on the draft, last year's draft class was abysmal all around. A guy like Bennett in any other year is maybe a late 3rd round pick. Edited May 12 by GCn20 wbbfan 1

I don't think his skill level was a problem but if you don't have the strength you don't have the strength. At end you’re on average giving up 70lbs. Not getting mangled is skill, it’s hand use, ability to maintain separation, moves to get an angle etc.

Mistake corrected. yup...good sign, and maybe we are shifting away from the loyalty/reward mind set, and theb"he practices hard" thing...if a guy isnt he shouldnt be here anyway...I could go into camp and practice hard...say the right things....take reps all over the field helping out other positions.....and if they rostered me and I took up a spot I would be disgusted and imagine the laugher on here! lol rebusrankin and wbbfan 2

He couldn't even do that.

Tbh I never saw the motor from him that you need to succeed at end, especially here. Guys who lack that don’t improve skills or put in the work to change their physique. The first time you do it is pretty easy and the benefits are great, idk if he’d done it in the past but it didn’t seem like it. bad player from bad draft cut in 2nd camp we’ve been here before. I’m excited to see our current guys and new picks. Tracker, Geebrr and Bigblue204 3

wbbfan Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 Feel like we will be in the market for more DEs right now. 6 ends vs 9 dts. Pretty happy with our off season ol work. Didn’t think Wallace would be in camp thought he’d get an nfl look. I expect a lot out of Vanterpool and Coleman. I would not be surprised if one is the starter to replace Hardrick. Keith is a good talent too, and while I’m not a fan of Lofton atleast he does bring experience and is very far from a default pick at rt. I wonder if we add another K now as well Fatty Liver, Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 3

Tracker Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 I do wonder what happened to Kongbo, though. Seems he has dropped out of football altogether. Pity. that. wbbfan 1

I think he’s in the same spot as grant and Jj. He probably wants top dollar and not to be on a crap team but the good teams that could use him won’t start him or pay him big bucks. Shame indeed. I’d love him back.

WinnipegGordo Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 2 hours ago, Mike said: Looks like you had the numbers more or less bang on, but they didn’t cut the four “no shows”, probably just suspended Fayad, DL Jordan Lewis, DL David Green, Randolph, WR Bryce Mitchell, WR Keontaye Thompson, K Jose Borregales and …. Anthony Bennett Yeah, I didnt think about suspednding those guys but thats a smart move. If they decided not to show up why give them the courtesy of cutting them so they can just sign with another team. I wouldnt be surprised though if Fayad is re-signed when he is able to practice again. wbbfan 1

Otherwise you are putting guys on the 6-game IL right now to open up spots and then they have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. Thanks, where did you get this info? Was that included in the last CBA?
