May 4, 20187 yr comment_328734 Ed Tait@EdTaitWFC Kyle Walters announces that WR Matt Coates broke his foot in training recently and will be out a while. Part of why they used three picks on receivers in CFL Draft

Yeah ... not so much that as he liked what he saw enough to sign here. This wasn’t a guy that had no options. Very easily could’ve held out for a NFL opportunity.

May 4, 20187 yr comment_328741 Hopefully the kids can play because it looks like Wolitarsky, Simonise and Peterman are going to get playing time right out of the gate.

If two show reealllyy well maybe we keep one on the PR but it is very likely that one guy will be on the roster and two guys will be un employed. But then they will have virtually no shot at moving up from 3 this year.

Could see him rotating on packages - sometimes with Flanders subbing and Wolitarsky at Field WR I doubt we see much of any of these WR picks unless absolutely desperate - maybe Simonise by game 8-9...

I think it will be wait until camp. If one of these guys shows well it could mean bad things for Coates.

Love how you’re always trying to get creative here but I really doubt we’re going to be seeing LaFrance as a receiver. Sometimes the simple solution is the right one. We’ll be starting one of Wolitarsky, Simonise or Petermann.

I'd be shocked if LaFrance doesn't get a long hard look as a replacement for Flanders actually - maybe Dressler gets shifted out to field once in a while to give him a break from inside hits Pencilling in one of three raw rookies doesn't make a ton of sense to me - Simonise and Petermann both need work

Simonise not as pro ready as Chapman but he is at least worthy of a camp before we discuss whether or not he’s prepared to take regular season snaps. As for LaFrance taking Flanders’ spot ... that’s already what Demski is going to be doing ... so I guess prepare to be shocked. Dressler/Bowman/Demski are the guys we’re playing in the slot.

Part of why they used three picks on receivers in CFL Draft The Bombers have been at the receiving end of criticism for targeting so many receivers, and yet, it’s like they knew what they were doing..and we didn’t...again. We missed out on a couple of players defensively, but if the staff did their homework, and they did, then this draft will work out just fine.
May 4, 20187 yr comment_328755 Adams, Dressler, Bowman, Demski and *insert guy who probably isn't going to get the ball thrown their way a whole lot anyway*
May 4, 20187 yr comment_328758 1 hour ago, Mike said: Streveler is a guy they’ve wanted a look at for a while. I think he’s got a good shot. Very CFL style QB. Watching videos of him, he's got a crazy fast release.
May 4, 20187 yr comment_328759 I thought Wolitarsky was going to win the starting wr job in camp before Coates got injured.

Yeah, I'm not arguing that LaFrance will be our main SB - but I fully expect to see him as a RB/SB - the way we used Flanders... Wolitarsky has half a season and Simonise has been out of pro for almost a couple years... that's still 'raw' Don't get me wrong I have high high hopes for Wolitarsky/Demski/LaFrance
May 4, 20187 yr comment_328771 Not a heck of a lot of objective information out there on Steveler, but the size (6'2" and 209lb) is CFL sized.
May 4, 20187 yr Author comment_328780 With Lefevour gone our new 3rd string QB will have to be able to run the short yardage offense ... I don't see you know who running it ... he won't take the pounding required

A couple of years ago our Canadian receiver talent consisted of Kohlert and JFG. Those guys brought their lunch pails every day and gave us everything they had, but the upside was not super high. I have no issues with the resources we are throwing at improving our Canadian receiving depth, especially given the league-wide success rate of draft picks at that position.

I don't see you know who running it ... he won't take the pounding required Agree. I think in an ideal world you have a second string qb who can come in and run the offense, hold the clip board etc and a 3rd who can hold on kicks, run the short yardage and maybe an option package.
May 5, 20187 yr comment_328842 You can definitely project where are the NAT player will be slotted in the 44. and it's heavy on the Offense-side. Offence: 4 OL - Goossen, Chungh, Neufeld, Couture 4 REC - Demski, Wolitarsky, Simonise, Petermann 4 RB/FB - Harris, LaFrance, Miller, Rush *(poor Flanders but he'll have to wait for injuries to get playing time) Defence: 2 DL - Corney, Ekakitie 3 LB - Miles, Briggs, Gauthier 3 DB - Loffler, Jones, Branning INT DI could be: Medlock Roh a LB a DB Edited May 5, 20187 yr by M.O.A.B.
