Probably but why not play 3 there and start Canadians elsewhere. Your QB is the most important player. Why not protect him with better talent.

Harris and Shologan will relieve some of the pressure to somehow field national OL.  We could have 2 national OL starters along with 2 WR, 1 RB, 2 DL.

Or maybe we add an extra national like Bucknor or Waggoner on D and roll out four import receivers?

Our place kicking and punt have let us down the last few years something needed to be done, no way 300k for Laurent not by the Bombers anyways,Andrew Harris will help big time Shologan plugs the middle Canadian depth, so far so good

Agreed, Bourke to TO means the possibility of one on the Argo linemen coming available.

So we cant afford-dont need Harris but Ottawa signs him as a backup... Desjardin schooling Walters again.

Not the same situation:

Wily is South of 30 with many years ahead of him as franchise QB.

Burris is north of Methuselah's age, probably in his final year for Harris to Transition into Franchise QB.

 

So no, "Desjardin schooling Walters again" is a silly thing to say.

We say this about Hank every year, but I think this is the year that age will finally catch up with him, 2005 Damon Allen style.

You saying Hank will be MOP this season? Bold call.

Wow, some teams are signing some great FAs. They will have improved by leaps.

The Bombers? Some very good FA signings. Improvement? Leaps and bounds..

Have to say, I like what I've seen from today's signings.  Top tier K/P, RB, 2nd tier DL, WR and a unknown RB.  Now if the scouts can finally kick in and contribute a big receiver and o lineman, we might just have something to finally get excited about!

Key is keeping Willy healthy, and giving him a decent scheme to play in.  Do that and everything else including wins will fall into place.

Still would like to plug in a BIG receiver somewhere.........but like the playmaking potential we have picked up

Any particular receiver you think fits in well?

Seems like the current ratio breakdown will be 3 NI OL (Chungh, Goossen, Neufeld) along with RB (Harris), DE (Westerman), DT (Shologan), REC (Kohlert) and probably a third spot on defense. We'll continue starting 8 Canadians.

Good luck, Kyle Walters & Co. Very few success stories trying to build teams this way. Just sayin’.

Freaking guy is clueless.  Yes, free agency signings are not the backbone of a successful program, but when the talent tank's gauge is reading empty, you do what you've got to do.

Shologan is a second tier DL...???  He's a huge part of the reason Cappicotti had the success he did.  Second only to Laurent imo.
