Bombers add LB, OL, extend Kyrie Wilson

If there is no bonus, this is not an issue, he could be insurance and TC fodder.  I have no issues with this signing, he's been a good player for us for years.

you're kidding yourself if you think MOS would bring back a vet like Wilson just to be fodder. And even if he is, all he's gonna do is eat into the reps for actual rookies or young players. If they want him as insurance, bring him in after you actually improve your team.

I more mean that we have multiple guys on the roster + a lot of draft capital invested in LBs and there's seemingly no way for them to get playing time.

For sure.  Blame Mafia for being obsessed with drafting LBers, especially in high picks.  They seem to do this a whack ton, and other than MOS being a LBer, no one can really say why.  Maybe LBers are the sweet spot (size/athleticism) for ST?

If Shay pans out into a Kramdi-style NAT MLB starter in year 2 or 3 it may be all worth it, though!

Now, if Mafia blows first to fourth RDP on some LBers again.... hoo boy is this place gonna get ugly!

Looks like the plan is "run it back" and get blown out in the East Division crossover again.

The core deserves it.

Ding, ding, ding, O'Shea would roster nothing but LB's on ST if he could, they're the best scrappers.

if we don't play Shay or Smith for that matter it won't matter. They'll leave for another team that will. Edmonton has developed Dublanko as a starter, Mtrl Arku and Richards, ly Hamilton Veresuk. Yet other than special teams did either Shay or Smith get on the field more than a few times.

I expect them to get a few more reps but with our depth and number of LBs yes could be a concern but not one I'm overally worried about (yet).

...We could be 0-17 and down 38 points in the forth quarter of the final week and you wouldn't be worried, to be fair.

I stand corrected. You once, about a decade ago, didn't like a coordinator coaching signing but concluded it went well shortly after. My bad.

Thanks for clarifying and reminding everyone for the 400th time that we should "talk ball" and not dispute any of your rosy outlooks even when yoi interject them in the middle of other people "taking ball".

I have been critical of the ball club, management, players and coaches when I deem necessary.  Just because you believe I'm only positive on here doesn't mean I am.  This place is here for us to focus in talking football, not about each other.  It's not a big ask.  My memory is poor, I can't think of any other times I was critical about our specific FA signings.

I provide a lot of content, analysis and opinions on here.  It's not simple rosy outlooks.  That's an incorrect statement and please stop painting me with the blue coloured brush.  When I "interject" I provide my take on the club or league.  We don't have to agree with our takes but not necessary to make it personal imo.

Dispute, debate, counter my opinions.  I never asked anyone to stop doing that.  That's whst makes this place great, space for everyone to post their two cents about football.  Just please don't make blanket,  untrue or personal statements about me.

I often provide a counter argument about the football club and that's allowed.  There is no reason to paint me as a positron over and over.  You have said you opinion on that.  Please let this go and we move on.

Your comments are not welcome, factual or fair at times, simply asking you to reflect on how you post about me.  I provided examples on how I have been critcal of the club and they are all documented and sprinkled in my thousands of comments.

That all said I enjoy your content on here if we can just stop the personal positron type stuff about me.

I really like this signing, believe he will be good this year and agree with others that have posted the same. 

Regarding Lapo, I was non supportive of him for awhile but has he found success I slowly changed my tune and admitting I was wrong.  It's not true what you posted about that.

I have found at times when I ask others to talk ball we can move on and its helps redirect the convo.  That's all I'm asking here.  Time to change the channel.
