Blue Bombers Add Defensive Back Lamont

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Maybe in TC but I don't believe he saw any reps at corner in a preseason game. Safeties practice with the DBs, so sure he maybe got some practice reps.

His NFL profile explains why he isn't in the NFL. Makes sense since he is in the CFL.


Sure *hypothetically* it could work. But trying something 4 times with no success usually serves as a good barometer for what will happen that fifth time. We have a plethora of natural corners coming into TC, why waste our time trying to move a solid safety to corner?

As for Lamont, maybe he is the exception. Or maybe he also fits better at safety just like all those other guys.

Allen was a decent Safety but it wasn't like he was an allstar in his first season like Taylor Loffler, so he could be potentially upgraded and replaced or breakout in his second season.  Seems to have great mobility and looked good in coverage, but doesn't add much of a physical presence and had a tendency to get confused at times trying to cover multiple receivers.  At Safety it often seems the smartest player wins the job.
