Blue Bombers Transactions - July 29, 2023

I bet they liked that he was pretty thick, I suspect decent against the run but that's really a random guess / thought

[Ducky]

Wish they would bring in a LB.  That is our biggest weakness IMO (I am far from an expert though).  Biggie is getting old and the others are more or less fillers.

When healthy our LBs are pretty darn good.

Wilson is back, problem solved.

Great news, I was hoping we would bring in a DE over the bye...and we did. I would like one more also as we are still thin on the edge and IMO Bennet is not ready for the role we have him in.

Yup, none issue handled internally

Agree

Wilson is a big addition for sure.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

Wilson has recovered from a serious Achilles tendon injury....,we won't know how fully recovered that is until he gets through a few games.    He was a force until he was injured so haopefully he is close to the same level as he was earlier in his career.    If he is we should see some improvements in our LB core and he will help Biggie become more effective....fingers crossed

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I'm not sure what we'll get out of Wilson. It's a really bad injury for any football player but linebackers do a ton of lateral and directional movement. He also has played very little over the last three years, not all his fault. 2020 the season was cancelled. He played 7 games in the shortened season and then got hurt 3 games into 2022.

2020 - cancelled season
2021 - 7 games (plus 2 playoff games)
2022 - 3 games

12 pro football games in three years leaves a lot of question marks. Can he be 2019 good? That was a healthy Achilles and a really long time ago.

I'd take 2021 Wilson. He was solid when he returned and played well in the playoffs.

[pjrocksmb]

Wilson will be fine come fall time.  Needs reps.

Great he is well rested and should be a terror.

yup, this^

[gordo]

What is that supposed to mean?

He worked his way up to become one of the top guys in college.
Or not.
But glad we signed another American who can play rush end. Hope he gets to play.
