February 24, 201411 yr comment_42044 Ted Laurent telling teams he won't make a decision until after the NFL Draft ... so 3 months. as long as, Walters is willing to engage in bidding when that happens, thats ok It will be tough ... he lives in Montreal, so they have a leg up. He'll have lots of interested teams.

February 24, 201411 yr comment_42062 Ted Laurent telling teams he won't make a decision until after the NFL Draft ... so 3 months. meh, he probably wouldn't come here one way or the other, so no big deal.

February 25, 201411 yr comment_42182 Just got an email saying the Bombers are about to make a player signing announcement. Any guesses who?
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42184 Officially confirmed as Alexander, I am pretty stoked. Nothing wrong with more Canadian competition, plus familiar with Etcheverry's defense.
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42186 Don't mind the additional competition at NI Safety, or a depth DB, but just wish Alexander was more of a special teams ace. Depth DB's need to be special teams aces.
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42188 Don't mind the additional competition at NI Safety, or a depth DB, but just wish Alexander was more of a special teams ace. Depth DB's need to be special teams aces. That's exactly my concern about it. How does he fit on the roster? I don't expect him to end up starting at safety for us and if he's not starting, why put him on the 42 if he's not a solid ST guy?
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42189 I'm interested to see what they do with the Canadian(s) in the secondary. They seem to be loading up to ensure some flexibility there.
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42190 A bit baffled by this one - we're loading up at Safety and still pretty thin everywhere else... Maybe the plan is for two NI DBs...??? I actually think Alexander has more of a chance to be our starting Safety than anyone - just wondering where Newman fits Kind of a shame we shipped Aprile for Bucknor imo

I actually think Alexander has more of a chance to be our starting Safety than anyone - just wondering where Newman fits Kind of a shame we shipped Aprile for Bucknor imo I agree on Aprile but on the other hand it didn't sound like he had much interest in playing in Winnipeg. He didn't even bother to show up at camp last year.

February 25, 201411 yr Author comment_42198 In the overall quest to find better pieces to fit our roster, I don't mind this signing. It'll be harder to find experienced NI personnel, so although this may be a lateral move, quality wise, it's got to be an upgrade overall. Sign him, let him compete in TC, no harm done.
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42201 I'm interested to see what they do with the Canadian(s) in the secondary. They seem to be loading up to ensure some flexibility there. I'm actually worried that we're stocking up on Non-Imports because we're weak in Non-Imports; with little regard for fit with our needs. Maybe Alexander will show up to TC with a gunner's mentality as his best chance to make this team, and I hope so. Just don't see his fit otherwise, with Muamba and Newman already rostered, and Newman being an ST ace. Unless this is the background work in a ploy to have Newman replace Sofa, have Alexander back him up, and release Sofa...
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42202 CFLDaily @CFLDaily 7m Alexander played corner under Etcheverry. #Riders had all-star James Patrick at S. Didn't play safety until going to Edmonton. #CFL #Bombers
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42203 I'm OK with adding an experienced NI DB, wondering like Mike where he fits however with the ST issue ...
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42207 as far as DI spots are concerned, i'm expecting the Bombers to use it for: (1) KR / PR - I'm expecting O'shea wants to have a dedicated guy on that. (2) Backup IMP RB - Marcel loves to utilize 2 RB sets, run game is the bread and butter of his offense. (3) one in D, im guessing it will be an imp LB who can play MLB or WIL this maybe the reason why they are loading more NI on the secondary since they are expecting NI backups there.
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42209 If I had to guess regarding DI spots, I'd guess we use one on a guy who can be an offensive skill player / returner, one on a DL and one on a hybrid LB/DB type.
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42214 Getting complicated either way - newman left sask because he wants to start... I can mb with an rb-kr DI moreso than another rec
February 25, 201411 yr comment_42218 CFLDaily @CFLDaily 7m Alexander played corner under Etcheverry. #Riders had all-star James Patrick at S. Didn't play safety until going to Edmonton. #CFL #Bombers Bucknor also is a natural corner, odd considering his size. Gives us some flexibility at least.
