May 26, 20178 yr Author comment_264602 yeah I think that's basically what I meant...is he as good as Couture was last year. Interesting anyhow...a guy taken as late as he was, in what is considered a really weak draft.....wasn't sure where he'd fit in his first year. How much the learning curve would be for him....

Is 15th really that late though? Maybe I'm just biased because I liked Spooner throughout the entire lead-up to the draft. I had him figured for a first round selection, so I suppose in a sense, I'm treating my expectations for him like that of a first rounder.

I know Foketi and Hardrick both spent time there, but I don't remember Bond playing anywhere but LG.... Last year against Ottawa Hardrick went down in the first Q and we moved Bond over to RT and he played well. Hardrick returned in the 4th Q. I just watched it the other day. It's one of the only Bomber games still on youtube from last year. Edited May 26, 20178 yr by gcn11

May 26, 20178 yr comment_264619 Bond got lots of reps at left tackle in last year's TC and looked pretty good at it, for whatever that's worth.

He played right tackle in one pre-season game for sure. I wonder how many more years they can expect out of Bryant, 2 maybe 3 would be my guess.
May 26, 20178 yr comment_264626 Our O-Line was a huge part of success last year. I'd prefer that we stick with three imports for another year and find someplace else to start another Canadian if need be.

Intzandt might be on the PR. why? the other team would have to make a play for him... he would have to consent to go to said team AND we can block it simply by putting him on the active roster.. people worry too much about this perceived PR poaching. If someone is "stolen" off a PR, its because the team let it happen..

It is also my understanding that one spot is protected from poaching if it is filled by a draft pick from the current year

He was brought in to compete at OT and made the team at that position. His move to OG has been very successful, but in a pinch I think it's been clearly demonstrated he is a capable OT.

Having Bond, Spooner, and Chungh as your Junkyard dogs would scare the bejeezus out of other teams. However, at this point and time the reality is that Couture is ahead of Spooner.

I have looked over the CFL rules and cannot find any reference to that. Do you know what section and clause of the rules it is?

Not only is he a mountain of a man, he plays gritty and has shown to be pretty versatile.

He's just genuinely fun to watch. That mountain of a man has a set of wheels on him. When he run-blocks down the field it looks like he's swatting away children in pursuit of a speeding ice cream truck.

Needless to say, he's been one hell of an asset to the O-line. Super happy he's a Bomber.

Hes so full of energy and I get the impression he truly loves what he does. one of Walter's best finds to date imo. Hope hes in blue and gold for awhile.
May 26, 20178 yr comment_264669 Hardrick would be the easiest American talent wise along that online to replace, but boy he brings tons of energy and fun and I think we would miss that.
