Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: wr replacement
Last post by theaardvark - Today at 03:03:03 PMIf Mack waits for TC, and doesn't have an aversion to a medical exam, that's probably where he gets a payday.
After a team finds out they either didn't bring enough talent to camp, has a vet mot show up (literally, or mentally/physically) or loses someone to injury, he suddenly becomes a hot commodity.
So signing now for an incentive laden no bonus deal doesn't make a lot of sense.
Not saying a Pinball or Hervey that won't give him big bucks and bonuses right now, though. THAT is what he should grab onto. Otherwise, he should wait.

Last post by theaardvark - Today at 02:58:40 PMQuote from: Blueforlife on Today at 03:16:03 AMFord has many talents and skills. Hasn't been able to put it together. I think he still might but likely a decent #2 that might turn into a 3 if he can't improve. I have always liked him. Agree can't read a D.
#2 is a backup to go in if #1 gets injured, and eventually develop into the new #1.
#3 is SY and "in a pinch" can start.
Ford *might* be able to do the #2 role, although he's been pretty shite at it so far.
He is definitely not a #3, "will turn into #3" is not an option, really...

Some sloppy play early in game but some great passing, full out hustle and HellB playing really well gave us a nice result

Last post by Jesse - Today at 01:39:58 PMQuote from: Sir Blue and Gold on Today at 02:48:21 AMWill we be having a real training camp this year or will all our veterans be receiving helmets on day one and these guys are for future evaluation only?
We need leaders who can lead by being better than the man across from them this year. Not leaders who get washed out every play and go months without a tackle. The latter is an example of a coach in pads and the end result will be the same as last year if we take the same approach.
You would hope someone here could be about as athletic as some of the dinosaurs on our offensive line but will they be given an actual chance? And if someone is, are we committed enough to tell someone like Stanley no?
If not, we're in for 2025 2.0. We talked tough at the start of the off season but our actions have largely signalled the opposite of late.
Unfortunately they attempted a more intense training camp last year and immediately dealt with a bunch of injuries so I'm expecting more of a club style atmosphere this year.
