BigBlue Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 since we invested so much in pre season analysis, maybe we should start using all that stuff.... or are we to broke to pay for air tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBlink Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 (edited) I'd be tempted to put Bailey in for Demski at this point. He runs the sweeps a lot better. He run blocks better. He pass blocks better. He doesn't fumble the ball. He makes catches in the hard areas. He can make deep contested catches as much as Demski. I don't really see the downside.

Pete Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Demski is nonimport Hes better than Johnson and Clerius Hes a go to reciever for Zac Defences have to plan for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbles and interceptions when he's been the guy. I wouldn't say defenses necessarily have been worried about him. I don't think we should bench Demski but I think we can get a lot of production once Lawler is in for Johnson. Use Demski as more of an Andre Durie type. He will get his snaps. Have Bailey on the field is going to make everybody else better. Also our ratio doesn't matter. We start a million Canadians already.

Pete Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Demski is still the best receiver we have currently, but I agree Bailey would help us, especially starting instead of Clerius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Demski as a #1 is miscast. As a #3 (which he normally is) he's a dangerous weapon. Tracker, Blue-urns and JohnnyAbonny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Rasheed Bailey wears his emotions on his sleeve. As a football player, very dependable. Freep says Bombers are talking with his agent. Did Bombers ever explain why they didn't re-sign Bailey in the first place? Now they want to bring back a guy they deemed expendable in the first place. Can we get Janarion Grant back too while we're at it? As many, many others have said, the personnel blunders by Bombers braintrust ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlink Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Fair enough. I actually forgot we are currently starting Clercius. He should definitely be our extra receiver. I'm really down on Demski these days. But him being a 3rd or 4th option and not running as many plays down the field would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned down much bigger offers to stay last year but it's not realistic to expect a guy to keep doing that so they knew he wouldn't be back this year. I'm sure that if they had been able to make the numbers work, he would not have left. Rod Black and Blue-urns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 (edited) You sign Bailey and you go Lawler lucky Bailey Demski Woli. Until Kenny back, Wilson gets a chance still but 1 game does not make him more important than demski. Edited July 27 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only using Demski all the time is the issue. Its hard to disguise a sweep or the corner route when hes the same guy used every time for it.

Demski is also the fourth highest paid receiver in the league. We need to have a serious discussion here whether or not that’s money well spent. The sad thing is having three of the four highest paid receivers in the league and two of them are out for most of the season has really messed up our cap situation.

Nolby Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Bailey would plug in and play immediately. He could bring some emotional spark back to that miserable locker room right now. Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Bailey, I'd tell Walters to take a hike. We all know the Bombers won't sign him next season. If anyone has been disrespected by Walters over the years, it's Bailey.

When you have Schoen catching 26 tds in 2 years, Kenny Lawler, Woli, Demski and BO, Rasheed, unfortunately became the odd man out Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money & always thought to be replaceable. Always the odd man out no matter what he did. Expected he'd always take the cheaper contract no matter what. Sign for less or buh bye.
