  • Chris Jones is definitely a major DB.

  • Aaaaaaah Biguns, how I've missed you

  • Hmm, how should I put this? Well, In a very loose sense, Chris Jones is to GMs, what Donald Trump is to Presidents...?

I like Wolitarsky's potential but how can anybody suggest we go two NI at receiver including him when he's barely been here?

If he is able to play any receiver spot at all this season with any success... that would be a major win... to suggest he should be starting after his first day of his first CFL practice... is a tad premature...

I was looking for comparisons to current WRs in the CFL and I kept coming back to Esk's WR Brandon Zylstra who has become incredibly productive.  So I did some research and from a physical standpoint the two are very similar (pro day results):

Kind of a laugh - their respective team's CFL sites list them as 6.03 and 220 lbs but their pro day stats list them as 6.02 and 219 lbs.

Zylstra signed with Esks on May 30, 2016 so he had a whole TC to go through and he wasn't put on the active roster until week 14.  Using Zylstra as a model I wouldn't expect Wolitarsky to be on the Bombers active roster until well into the 2nd half of the season, and even then he would have to earn his reps playing ST's.  I like JFG but he is someone I feel more comfortable with as a backup, so hopefully Wolitarsky can take a Nat WR spot down the road.  He still has to learn the CFL game and earn his stripes but it gives him something to shoot for. 

One big advantage for Zylstra is QB play; Reilly is better than Nichols. Period.
