That's why a veteran & successful left tackle from another team is more likely to take over. I don't see his signing as succession planning at all. It's all about free agency. I think any succession planning is going to involve having plan A, B, C, and D lined up. We don't know who's going to be in FA when the time comes after all. 13 hours ago, kelownabomberfan said: Kurtis Rourke (Nathan's younger bro) lighting it up today for Ohio. Is he eligible for the CFL draft next year?

He could play another year. Idk if he’s eligible for a Covid bonus redshirt year. His production to this point wasn’t strong. I would expect him to go another year unless his team is aging out or he really has a huge year and gets nfl interest

From what I have been able to read up on, his athleticism and combative attitude are excellent. He may be a project and he is a young man, experience may need to instilled- the hard way.

I think the Bombers will pursue all CFL FA opportunities or trade first before handing the LT position to any inexperienced rookie.

After seeing the way they have managed the OL for the past 6 - 8 years, I'm inclined to agree with you.

I agree, but I also doubt we're going to sign his replacement and get another 5+ year perennial all star. Also have to prepare for signing a stop gap while we develop our long term plan. Again - I'm sure we have plan A, B, and C we're pursuing.
September 26, 20222 yr comment_597635 Crazy thought, but does Hardrick slide over to the left when Bryant retires and is Gray an option at a tackle position?

I’ve heard Hardrick say multiple times that he is going to play until they rip the jersey off his back. That said, I’d expect he stays on his side. Why create two problems instead of one?

Keep in mind that we’ve also constantly tried to keep a good imp tackle with lots of up side on the pr. And have done soo pretty successfully over the great ol stretch. The difference is that since yoshi moved to tackle we have seldom needed a tackle or an imp ol. If we were going after a vet in the league it’d likely be a guy that has upside and not realized it yet. We actually have 4 imp ol on the pr plus Richmond. That’s a lot of us beef. I think the only way we see more come in this year is if one of them gets cut. 37 minutes ago, Jesse said: I’ve heard Hardrick say multiple times that he is going to play until they rip the jersey off his back.

I could see him being a guy who floats between ir and pr after the wheels have fallen off for his leadership a lone. I really hope the guy moves into coaching here after his career.

September 26, 20222 yr comment_597698 In fairness to the Riders (vomit), we had the exact thing happen last year and they seem to have handled it as swiftly as we did. Short of Dickenson opening his mouth and somehow making it worse, I don't think this incident alone can be held against them. Edited September 26, 20222 yr by Super Duper Negatron

If we want them to be more accountable in the future- I don't think shitting on them when they "FINALLY" do the right thing in a very quick manner, is going help. Whatever- good on them doing the right thing. uhg, feel so gross man- @Booch you gotta stop making me defend them... off to take a silkwood shower. Edited September 26, 20222 yr by Wanna-B-Fanboy

I love the spirit but at some point he'll need to think about the rest of his life.
