Mr Dee Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Posted February 5, 2016 I guess the only small surprise for me would be Lirim and Washington. That indicates full on for Medlock and the expense-benefit ratio wasn't working on Washington?
iso_55 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Team moving on means they aren't going to sign. Who knows if it's the Bombers or players decisions on that?
Noeller Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 that really REALLY surprises me that Walters would outright say "we're moving on from..." Arugala and Washington. Christ... bigg jay 1
Mark F Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) so they let a db that quite a few people think is good, go, and sign one that 100% of posters think isn't good. #??? if they keep Shell, then what say you people? Edited February 5, 2016 by Mark F
Bomberfan85 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 To be fair, the only guy he said they're straight up "moving on from" is Pontbriand. He just said Lirim and Demond are going to free agency. MOBomberFan, SPuDS and sweep the leg 3
Noeller Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Other news outta the presser is that Bob Wylie is coming back for sure. I *think* that's good news...see what he can do with our OL as the young guys grow, and maybe Lapo's systems will be better.
iso_55 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 I figured Hajrullahu's days were numbered after his performance against Edmonton & Sergio Garcia took over the placekicking duties. Pro football is a harsh reality. The coaches clearly lost confidence in his ability to perform. When that happened his days were numbered. We don't know if the Bombers offered Lirim a contract or not. Or if he turned down an offer & wanted to try free agency. I'm certain another team CFL will sign him & bring him to camp but he won't get the big numbers I'm sure that he wanted in a second contract.
Goalie Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Not surprised about any of them really. To get better you need better players. I don't think Harris takes Washington's spot tho. I think he's the vet dB like Shell was. Not convinced Harris makes the team. So who so we go after... obviously medlock or waters. I think A Harris is a lock. Be nice to get Messam too. Gotta get another receiver... maybe smith from sask. And gotta go after some DL. Capicotti or Laurent would be huge.

He's all over the field and he does his job well. The trouble here is people will focus only on the plays where he got beat, but guess what, the top receivers (who Washington was always covering because that's how the coaches viewed him) will get open and make plays on everyone. If we lose Washington mark my words we will miss him. I know where he plays. And I understand that in that spot, you're going to get beat. I just don't think he's lived up to his potential. I don't think he's a shut down DB. I'd take him back, but I wouldn't mind moving on either. SPuDS and Dragon37 2
Fatty Liver Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Quality of that Periscope feed is terrible. Bombers have a new featured on their site called BomberTV but it's tag line must be "We're not live!" Mr Dee 1

Interesting to see how the OL grows & improves as a unit, Hopefully they can stay free of long term serious injuries this coming season.
GCn20 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Missed the presser. Any mention of Moore?

Goalie Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 It was mentioned in Walters last presser that b4 even signing Dressler they decided to move on from Moore. What I gather is the only FA they talking to right now is Newman

Maybe, since they can't seem to figure a good live broadcast out, they should tape the bloody thing, spend an hour figuring how to post it, then have it shown... How hard is it to film a live broadcast? iso_55 1
Fatty Liver Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 If Washington does not come back I can see Adams moving inside and Randle moving back to the corner with Waggoner starting at Safety. Macho is here for his versatility as a backup but will likely end up playing a lot when injuries strike.
Goalie Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I see 3 internationals on the oline. So let's just.. National Starters Goossen Chungh Kohlert Westerman A Harris Hurl but maybe not Bucknor but maybe not Waggoner but maybe not Get Laurent or Capicotti or even Shologan Could start 9 Canadians but I think 8 is more likely And here comes the why would you start 8 Canadians thing... simple. Because if a Canadian gets hurt it doesn't really mess with your ratio as much. Edited February 5, 2016 by Goalie
AKAChip Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 I am almost certain if we don't sign Lirim, we will regret it for the next 20 years. How quickly we forget the dark years of kickers and the value of having a good Canadian one. Give him a chance to bounce back. rebusrankin, Noeller, SPuDS and 3 others 6
Westy Sucks Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Yeah true, unless that 8th Canadian constantly costs us by not being good enough.

They see him everyday at practice as well as games so they're the better judge.
Floyd Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 Cant figure out how you let LH and Marshall walk... its not like they're asking for big $$
Westy Sucks Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 A kicker with zero confidence that buckles under pressure is useless to us.

This is not looking like a masterful performance on his part as more holes are opening up on the roster.
