July 11, 20177 yr comment_275996 If Washington doesn't perform in the next couple games, I'd really start looking at two NI REC - JFG and Wolitarsky Then again, we have no LBs to replace Hurl anyway...

We have the Knox bros. But that seems a little quick to give up on Washington. He was fine in game 1.

Not giving up - maybe his next two games are great... but I'd definitely be looking at contingency plans for the ratio - team seems to be pretty set on Poop Johnson at DT

July 12, 20177 yr comment_276083 I watched Johnson all first half against Calgary and the guy is an absolute monster
July 12, 20177 yr comment_276091 Johnson and Nevis have added something.....much stouter job filling the A/B gaps and getting up the gut pressure. Problem is the lack of production at DE so far. Soft zone in back, doesn't help.

July 12, 20177 yr comment_276101 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...
July 12, 20177 yr comment_276120 People are putting WAY too much stock into a new guy who hasn't had any practice time, and missed all of pre-season and training camp. Seriously....is this just because he's American?

July 12, 20177 yr comment_276210 We damned well better win tomorrow night....or we will have a losing record and be 0-2 at home. This will not boost attendance one iota.
July 12, 20177 yr comment_276246 I think the only people who have hopes of him playing slotback are our lackluster reporters covering the team. Questions about the waggle? Try asking if he has good eye-sight because he's going to be standing 40 yards away from the qb.
July 17, 20177 yr comment_277199 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): http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=1016742&draftyear=2016&genpos=WR http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=128487&draftyear=2017&genpos=WR 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.
July 17, 20177 yr comment_277203 Zylstra is a legit stud receiver. If Wolitarsky can turn out to be half that good, I'll be happy.
October 5, 20177 yr comment_296203 Looks like he's finally gonna get a chance to display his talent. If Drew and Coates have a good game could possibly be a ratio breaker in the future with us being able to start 2 good Canadian receivers.
