He kicked around here for 2 years and didn’t show much kinda glad he’s out of the way for the new batch of guys going into 2025. Add him to the growing list of ex-Bombers signings: Rutledge with Toronto Demetries Ford with Edmonton Jeremy Murphy with Ottawa Barrington Wade with Montreal Tre Thomas with Montreal

Just cuz McGhee wasn’t great or even good here doesn’t mean he doesn’t turn it around in Sask. it’s unlikely because he is what he is but nice to see guys getting chances. It also says the pool of talent willing to come up here isn’t as large as we all think it is. Very true. I do think that his struggle to fit under halls system then JYs is a bigger concern. He got two long hard looks under different systems, and some of the best defensive and db coaching you can find. I get why they’d want to take a look at him. Year on an nfl pr, 2 nfl camps, 2 cfl camps and two years on our pr as one of the best defensive back ends.

He’s already gone through a camp and sat on a pr so he should be well poised for camp in 25. Massive potential, dynamic athlete who cut his teeth in college as a teams guy. All those transfers look like a red flag. As do being cut before nfl camp and then cut quickly after one pre season game down there. Fits our wil mold to a T. Athletic tweener who should thrive on the big field. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/marvin-pierre/32005049-4557-7269-9aff-ef2c1fedfdb8 “At pro day, he measured 6-foot-1 1/2 and 222 pounds and demonstrated excellent athleticism with a 4.57 in the 40-yard dash and 40.5-inch vertical leap. That equated to a Relative Athletic Score of 9.08.”

At his size I’d like to see a little bit more bulk then he could rotate at dt, and end in the 30 more. I do like his ability to get off blocks and defend the run especially. Makes really good decisions too. Teds first scoop lol

December 31, 2024Dec 31 comment_741615 I wish we had kept the field intact from canad inns and Osborne stadium. Such a great link to the past and opportunity to boost grass level infrastructure. https://3downnation.com/2024/12/30/one-veteran-pending-free-agent-every-cfl-team-should-kick-to-the-curb-in-2025/ Wasnt sure what to expect from this article for us, but he nailed it. When the cfl media types are onto the fact that we’ve been running out guys who are toast, you know it’s bad.
December 31, 2024Dec 31 comment_741620 3DNation is bang on when it comes to who we should not bring back and they articulate their ideas well. Clearly the world is ending.

December 31, 2024Dec 31 comment_741626 Is 3DN "bang on" or are they just agreeing with the mob here? I sincerely don't know the answer.
December 31, 2024Dec 31 comment_741632 I feel tomorrow we get a Bighill has signed announcement tho. That would suck. Edited December 31, 2024Dec 31 by Goalie

Hodge is on here for sure... You just know him better as Mike But what I'm saying is that people FEEL like 3DN is "bang on" because it's saying what the angry mob wants to hear.
December 31, 2024Dec 31 comment_741669 I'm going to get this in before I forget, a Happy New Year to all. May 2025 bring us a Bomber Grey Cup win at PAS in November.
