a bit bigger in dimensions

Nothing mentioned about that but the supports would likely need replacing to support a bigger board.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Bomber starting WIL

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 01:40:05 PM

If in-game, and K.Wilson still here, then K.Wilson.  If Gauthier still here, Gauthier, maybe.  In a dire situation: Shay or Cadwall.

Nothing says we won't sign a decent MLB before week 1... We did in FA25 with J.Jones.

I don't think K. Wilson or Gauthier will be back. Yes we may find a rookie MLB type but then we have to get him on the roster as a DI. He'd have to replace someone.

An in game injury: depends on how much of the game remains and what impact the next man up causes. Ayers has been here the longest and I'd hope he can fill that need whether he starts at WIL or not. Being able to be an in game injury replacement would be an advantage.

That said he didn't seem to be a rotation player at either WIL or MLB.

Uh, don't we already have buckets of packages where Willie is off the field?  He hasn't been an every-down guy for a number of seasons.

None of them include another import DT or even DE. At best we have the global Munier Bailey that played the last game.

Lewis has already re-signed in Ottawa, and no way any ones paying White 275 k, but 200k isnt out of question for perennial 1000 yd receiver

Second game was great.

Darnold to the superbowl is a good story.

have you listened to Lawler or Lewis, every top reciever has an ego. If you look at the last 4 years I wouldnt be surprized if White has the most yards in receptions.

For sure.  But White didn't have the hands to back it up.  He can't do even 1/10th the circus Kenny can.  Most of White's stats are from home-run hits where he uses his speed, and gets some YAC.  Yes, that's valid and useful, but when you get fast DBs blanketing him he's proven to be less effective.  (What did White do against us in the '25 HAM games??)

Kenny sure talked smack, but that was just Kenny.  And his gumby body control and Burnham hands backed it up.  Excludes his injuries and he likely would out-do White in YDS too.

I've never heard smack from Gino.  He may say he's the best (I don't know) but he is 10X humbler than the above 2 guys, that's for sure.

If I had to pick one to offer $275+ to right now, it'd be Gino.  Dude can take punishment in the middle AND hit homeruns AND his hands are nearly as good as Kenny.  And I bet he's a better FIFO in WPG than the other 2 ever could hope to be.

The Neuf interview is interesting for his take on Wallace & Viebert.  He speaks highly of Viebert, meaning he could be the new dressed 6th or 7th.  He says he can snap, too.  Things may depend a bit on where we slot Eli, but as it stands right now maybe the plan is to start Eli at C and Viebert is our backup snapper.

I'd still rather see a monster IMP C, but that may be an impossible ask in an IMP's first year up here, given the C's responsibilities.

If it is Eli, I hope someone gets that guy some galaxy-sized balongas to fatten up big time.

Meh.  Prima donna.  Wanted to be the highest paid CFL REC.  Thought he was Kenny, then they were on the same team and we saw who was better.

Definitely not a team-first or FIFO guy.  Doesn't seem like a Mafia fit.

Also, he's another home-run hitter, and if we re-sign Wheatie we'll once again already have enough of these.  We need a short crosser guy, not another lanky slugger.

I also worry why HAM almost always chose to make him DNA, allowing him only 23/25 snaps, instead of just starting him legit like most teams would.  Is there something about him that makes him incapable of playing every down?

Also, don't rule Schoen out just yet.

Said Buono about AH33 in FA16.

[but I'd like to see a DI that takes some of his reps]

I'd like to know the number but I'd like to see a DI that takes some of his reps. We need to have a succession plan as well as spell him at times.
