wbbfan Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 In that case i imagine we are mostly done adding players till perhaps cut down days. (if other teams cut some one we are interested in) Id say we really won the off season, now if only we can translate that into a winning regular season.
wbbfan Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 Bombers add 6 and subtract 6. Released. Receiver Larry Pinkard Receiver Ernest Smith Running back B.J. Catalon Defensive lineman Jordan Stanton Defensive back Justin Green Defensive back Arthur Williams Added. receivers Gerrard Sheppard and Thomas Mayo, running back Carlos Anderson, defensive lineman Cameron Henderson, linebacker Duron Singleton, and defensive back Jarrid Bryant. All players are Internationals.
Bigblue204 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 glad to see Anderson back! Hopefully his knee has healed up nicely and he's good to go! wbbfan 1
Mike Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 I really like that we brought Carlos back - I'm also a big fan of the Singleton and Mayo signings. Singleton could factor in at safety.
Atomic Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 Jarrid Bryant was with the Bombers briefly last off-season but he didn't make it past mini-camp
Fred C Dobbs Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Hiring Ed Tait was a great off-field move for the Bombers this year: Euclid Cummings may not have drawn the giant headlines of other free-agent splashes made by the Bombers this winter, but he could be critical to what Winnipeg does in the trenches this season. He's a Minister of Sinister along the line of scrimmage and some believe the best tackle in the CFL. "Minister of Sinister", gotta love it. http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/05/25/positional-preview-defensive-line/ Tracker 1
Noeller Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Posted May 25, 2016 WINNIPEG, MB., May 25, 2016 – Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the addition of International running back Tim Flanders.

bigg jay Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Stupid sexy Flanders.... Umm I mean TCF? Brandon Blue&Gold, Noeller and pigseye 3
Noeller Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Posted May 25, 2016 Just think of all the lines we can use....it's going to be amazing. Brandon and bigg jay 2

wbbfan Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Flanders production was incredible. His nfl scout report is pretty messed up though. They say he has to break away speed, doesnt have strong moves, and goes down with first contact. 4.78 40 yard but a best of 4.65 Looks like a guy who isnt a josh ranek esq tackle breaker but not a guy who will go down with arm tackles. Maybe hes a guy who isnt a 40 runner but has football speed. Certainly doesnt look football slow in his highlights.

B-F-F-C Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 Highlight video? He looks just like a hundred other rb's that have played in the NCAA. Tracker 1

He looks just like a hundred other rb's that have played in the NCAA. Yeah it was a lot of what you see in mid level talent playing on low level teams. Didnt do any thing special hit holes and ran into tackles. Couple decent moves here or there not crazy speed or any great cuts. His 40 time was awful, but the first report from rookie camp was he looks quick. Its hard to tell some from video some times, how fast a guy is on the field. Guess we will see. But even if he isnt great im pretty excited to see the rest of our RBs in camp.
