wbbfan Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 https://3downnation.com/2024/03/21/2024-cfl-draft-profiles-western-db-lourenz-bowers-kane/ Meh testing numbers. I don’t really get this move. We’ve got both halletts, Kelly, plus karamoko all for depth. Even weitz is comparable size/athleticism roster filler. If we liked this kid a lot why not have had him in camp?

Booch Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Pretty bad that we have nobody on our PR which makes us have to grab guys off the street...like where is our depth Maybe Schmeck is taking Wallace roster spot...be a shame that we bump off a dline guy who actually is effective...guess we shall see what Osh does...Why Woli and Johnson can't be a one for one swap allowing us to still dress them all...we'd still have the same amount of receivers on roster...and if Schmeck is on for Wallace no reason he can't come in for a jumbo set...

I mean even for a guy off the streets it’s lacklustre. Zero cfl camps practices etc. could even go wheatfall for Jonson and woli on instead of schmeck. Woli starts and clercius is off the bench. Then for our heavy set clercius and woli both go on. Piggy 1, rebusrankin, Tracker and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Unger Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 (edited) Manu the offensive lineman that we drafted last year made the Detroit Lions 53 man roster. They will continue to develop him. Here’s an interesting film study on how he did in preseason games this year. Seems the be more of a pass then run blocker at this stage of things.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 4 hours ago, rebusrankin said: Manu is not coming for a long time, if ever. Yeah probably never. If you do get him he'll be an overpaid guy who is washed like Covington on BC. There's basically 400 OL spots in the NFL and they all pay more than he'd make in the CFL even practice roster. And there's no limit on PR time anymore. Could have a 40 year old guy with 18 years in the league on your PR. Piggy 1 and Blue-urns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know but anytime I hear about them it's usually getting stomped by some team. Our junior football scene just isn't as strong as the other western provinces and it shows on the field. Our best players often leave to play elsewhere (Banfield for example had been playing in BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea....the expanded PRs and the change to eligibility pretty much guarantee that NFL teams can keep their OL pipeline filled almost indefinitely. It was a smart move by the NFL to protect their QBs.

Booch Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 our addition of 2 Rifles to the PR does nothing to help us...gives us zero coverage/depth and are total non factors for this season....last yr as well we had a guy on roster for no purpose....sure...its nice and warm and fuzzy showing support to the local junior team, but nobody else does that....because it's pointless.....and if that is the best we can scrounge together for PR depth in lieu of injury or under performing...we are in a sad state of affairs A legit LB prospect...a Canadian Oline guy who actually has a chance of being on the roster....A legit return demon.....A actually punter....all things that would have served us well the last several weeks....but we seem to be more concerned with running some guys into the ground being not healthy, or just not good enough game in or game out....or playing guys out of positioon.....is that a characteristic of a well functioning team?....I think not...save the public relation and good vibes crap for training camp...or when the PR opens up for that several week window later in the yr....not when you are under seige with injury and lack luster performers...in the heat of a playoff positioning race SectionKBlackout, BigBlueFanatic, Piggy 1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think a cis kid who didn’t get a single cfl camp shot as an udfa is going to give us depth at Sam? Every cis school had a kid playing sam, and most all of them haven’t gotten a cfl look. We could’ve brought back nico McCarthy who was a Canadian db here in camp. Or gone digging through other teams cuts. A Canadian db who wasn’t drafted and wasn’t brought into any ones camp doesn’t provide mid season depth in the cfl. That guy has a 0% chance of stepping in at Sam and succeeding. But we don’t have a need for ni db depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
