Blue Bombers add to practice roster

Cam Bright: (25) 6'0" 222, 4.59/40, 33 reps on bench, 35.5 vert. Seems to be the type of LBs we are picking up lately. All around 25, with good speed, and very athletic.

Could mean something (ie: hidden injuries)...or mean little as just for depth late in the season. Minimal effect on the cap either way. Assuming too much here by some people I think.

as far as Taylor hes likely just insurance, we all know that in games that count O'Shea wants someone that he's familiar with and can trust. But for all we know it could be similar to signing Grimes in that once they get into practices it will determine if he is game ready if we need him
For Bright it just may be an opportunity to look at someone for next year.

Nic Taylor was a favourite of mine. Guy made massive plays in big games. Nice yo see him back!

Time off can cure things, if he's been keeping fit.

No doubt he knows this system, and that is hard to find, someone that can just plug in.

If he's healthy and fit, its a no brainer to have him available in case.

Quote from: TecnoGenius on October 21, 2024, 07:09:34 AMI've been a huge fan of Nick Taylor. He was one of the pivotal late pick-ups to get us the cups. Along with Maston.

Haven't heard that name in some time. A shame that injuries got the best of him; he was really fun to watch.

As for Taylor, he fits right back in. A good move, IMO.

Depends if hes in game shape, ussually takes a few games

Taylor is a good luck charm. The Bombers won both the Grey Cups that Taylor was playing in.

And then lost when he was out, right?

Another name fits that bill... dare I say it? ... Andrew Harris.

Nope, Streveler left after 2019.
