#Bombers have acquired LB Abraham Kromah from #Tiger-Cats for future considerations. #CFL

 

 

that should help our run D

[JuranBoldenRules]

Not happy with Kuale?

 

I'd be PO'd if they take Wild off for Kromah.

[Mike]

I'm very curious about this move. Seems like he'd be taking Kuale's spot, not Wild's. Kuale had a rough game last night, but I'm not sure what this could be about.

[James]

I don't mind him in Kuale's role, but Wild better not have less playing time because of this

[Floyd]

Wow - last move I thought we would make... but I sure like Kromah.

 

Kromah-Wild-Sears would be killer

 

Makes me believe Kuale is injured

Agreed.  I worry that Kuale is one of those guys that Etcheverry/O'Shea have an irrational love for though.

 

He can line up at defensive end too! 

[M.O.A.B.]

I believe he played as an OLB in Etch D before. So possibly for Dollar or Dime position?

 

How long will Leggett be out?

[Noeller]

I have never heard of this guy in my life...

I think 2012 was his first season in the CFL and he played absolutely awesome for Saskatchewan until he broke his leg. Been a victim of numbers/ratio since then.

Didn't play for Etcheverry before, he was in Sask for Chamblin's first year with Hall as DC.  Thinking he's a MLB.

[M.O.A.B.]

I'm thinking Leggett's injury is worse than expected. So Sears will stay on Safety and Kromah will start at the DimeBack vs the Esks.

 

Dunn-Wild-Kromah

 

 

I also hope Walters will do something about our OL problem.

Played 8 games, spent 28 on IR coming into this season.

Not what the Riders' 2012 Depth Chart said.

[rebusrankin]

Played well in 2012 for the Riders. Nice to see we're continually trying to upgrade.

Most of those have been a stash though.

[Noeller]

Hmmm...well hopefully he's healthy. Sounds like hes familiar with Etchs craziness which helps...

@BobIrvingCJOB: Bombers acquire l .b. Abraham Kromah from Hamilton for futures. Strictly a depth move.

[gbill2004]

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers landed a little more CFL experience today.

General manager Kyle Walters swung a deal with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, acquiring linebacker Abraham Kromah for future considerations.

The Bombers were interested in Kromah in free agency this year, but he ended up leaving the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the Tabbies. He became expendable when Simoni Lawrence returned from the NFL.

Kromah, who can play both the weak-side and middle linebacker positions, is a 6-foot, 227-pound native of Staten Island, N.Y., and was leading the Saskatchewan Roughriders in tackles when he broke his right leg in an August 2012 game.

The Duke product returned for the season finale that year but didn’t play during the entire 2013 season after the Riders signed Rey Williams.

Wild wasn't a MLB on our 2013 depth chart either.  Different schemes, different seasons.

[Jpan85]

When healthy this guy can play.

Dunn-Wild-Kromah

Kromah at SAM would be an epic disaster

He's a MLB

Actually, I think if we use him right he would be a huge upgrade on Kuale

[kelownabomberfan]

Can he return punts?

Wild has the additional benefit of being our long-snapper.  He isn't going anywhere.  I don't know who else can long snap, but we definitely don't have anyone who has done it in a game before.  Would be a super risky move to take off Wild.  Kuale is on the hot-seat.

I'm with Noeller - Floyd - I hope you have a really good job, because I never heard of this guy either yet you seem to know him like we know Ricky Ray lol. You have a fantastic memory

[M.O.A.B.]

if he's an MLB, maybe slide Wild back to WIL (starter, Dunn as backup) then... and Kromah/Kuale at MLB?
