Depth Chart

Anybody else worried about all the Import OL?

Where are you seeing an all import OL? At most we'll have 2 import OLs as starters.

All the import OL does not mean an all import OL

Sorry, what is worrying about that?  I like not going into camp with January, Boatman, and Taormina, and assuming we'll be fine.  Competition is good.

[Goalie]

how many oline are currently under contract? id suspect what? like 10 maybe 11 at most?

 

That means 2 teams of 5 plus an extra guy or 2, this is essential for some drills when the vets come to camp.

 

Just a total guess here but... i think all the import OL that we have signed are here because we lack canadian OL and you need to have a bunch there, in case of injury or even just fatigue. You cant just have 5 or 6 7 guys at main camp, gotta have enough for probably 2 groups of 5 just to get some different people on the field at times, otherwise you gonna kill your starters b4 the season even begins.

 

Id suspect a couple oline though are let go at the end of mini camp.

[James]

I suspect that the Imports in the interior are competing against each other. For example, Saulsberry(OC) is competing against Randy Richards(RG) and whoever is better wins a starting Spot, then Morely moves into the spot of the weaker American.

 

Then January will be LT. I'm kind of surprised they think that highly of Neufeld that they're just going to pencil him in right away like that... that's kind of exciting...

Thanks. I mis-read the post.

I think the high number of imports brought in to compete for o-line spots is a good thing. I especially like how they brought in some interior guys. In past years there wasn't as much pressure on our interior NI guys because there were no imports to push them.

[bearpants]

I don't put too much stock in the depth chart in May.... guys like Ian Wild and Zach Anderson are too good to be back-ups.... I think the one thing that sticks out to me is Neufeld at RT, I think that's where he'll be day one....

[Jpan85]

If Neufeld wins the job at RT that will help the team at many different other spots.

[Blueandgold]

I'm really not a fan of Kuale as our MLB, I hope we can find someone better than him.

Ever since the Mike Sellers era ended, we've never utlized our full back much, probably because we haven't found the necessary player (s). Any worth on the Bombers part to shore up that position more in efforts to utlize more? Or are the cupboards empty when it comes to that position?

[Dirty30]

The only spot that concerns me is receiver. I wonder how hard (if at all) the club would go after Matthews if he was released from the Seahawks.

We tried out a fullback at the Florida mini camp, his name eludes me right now but he was a LSU alumni with NFL experience. Just doesn't seem to be much use for them anymore.

There are guys in this camp who are likely to be just as good as Matthews

[M.O.A.B.]

Maybe but if Matthews becomes available I still want the Bombers to do their best to resign him.

The Bombers should learn from the past... I don't want Matthews to be the next Geroy Simon.

Bombers found him goes to the NFL then back to the CFL and made a HOF career for different team.

That's too bad I'd like to utilize that position more to keep the defense off balance.

In fairness we did make a healthy offer to Geroy when he came back to the CFL but BC offered more... so it was simple economics for him not lack of effort by us...

Wasn't just BC offered more - At the time he was coming back we had a dream team receiving corps.  ABIII, Stegall, and someone else

[Noeller]

Gordon and Stoddard...was just ridiculous how good they were. Still *tried* to get Simon back, but it didn't work out...

I think that's the real reason to it. We didn't offered more because we have a very very good receiving corps at the time he came back and the Bombers thought they have no room for him.

stoddard... The best adequate canadian receiever ever!

hands of glue no doubt but otherwise...?

I'm very surprised they don't have Anderson locked in beside Turner. Only reason I'm nervous about zach is because they're letting Etch have so much control over the personnel on defence.

Not sure why Etch wouldn't like Anderson though, he's got a crazy motor, and he's as fast as a LB'er! He can fly to the ball and is ridiculously athletic for his position

A potential victim of the ratio. They will probably have to start an NI there.

[Goalie]

I think anderson will make the team, pretty sure they will start a non import field corner and go 4 oline

just saying but shouldn't the defensive coordinator have control over the personnel on defence? if not the DC, then who? Not sure why everyone is so worried about anderson, he's a good player and will make the team. If he doesn't, it just means he got beat out by someone better. I doubt that happens tho as zach seems very motivated and definitely will make an impression. I think he's safe, just think maybe basing things on a depth chart which probably means very little right now is a little extreme.
