January 15, 201510 yr comment_103525 Sears is 6'1 193 pounds so this guy is 3 inches taller and 2 pounds heavier... Sears makes it work. Light? Maybe but.. it's all about how athletic he is, I hear Bryant is a bit slow tho, not fast... not the quickest player in the world... That would be the more concerning part than how tall or how heavy he is. Needs to be able to keep up with these speedy receivers up here, can he? Benton seems like a beast tho. Definitely a MLB candidate there. Also interesting to note but on the Official Bomber site, Quinn Everett, OL is listed on the roster. Interesting on Everett. I'd say this definitely spells the end of Hinse with the Bombers...maybe even Morley. If it were up to me I'd keep Morley and stick him on the IR as insurance.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103532 The neg list has been expanded . Expect a bunch of signings to go to a mini camp and get weeded out. Too early to get excited about signings.....except a DC.
January 15, 201510 yr comment_103533 Benton's 40 time is 4.65. How does that compare to other MLB's? Seems a little slow but not sure how other LBs compare.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103535 Joe Lobendahn 5'11" 230 lb 4.67 40 time I'm totally stoked to see this kid perform.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103537 Benton's 40 time is 4.65. How does that compare to other MLB's? Seems a little slow but not sure how other LBs compare.His 40 time is better than the db we just signed.
January 16, 201510 yr Author comment_103538 Benton's 40 time is 4.65. How does that compare to other MLB's? Seems a little slow but not sure how other LBs compare. Eliminian runs a 4.6, Bighill around 4.55. Probably couldn't run those today, but at peak. MLB 40 yard times are not really all that important though, imo

I don't know if they're out there, but the more interesting numbers I'd like to see are his 10 yard split and his 3-cone.
January 16, 201510 yr Author comment_103542 k found this 10 yard split Benton - 1.64 Elimimian - 1.58 Bighill - 1.53 Bear Woods - 1.68 3-cone Benton - 7.12 Elimimian - 7.06 Bighill - 6.99 Woods - 7.2

So he's in the ballpark with the other elite CFL LBs. It'll come down to his instincts and the mental side of his game.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103624 I know Henoc was around a 4.72 and he was plenty fast for MLB. 34 inch vert and 34 bench reps is pretty crazy for a MLB. He could probably take on OL in this league... Unless of course he just focused on bench and vert for his pro day
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103635 Interesting note about Henoc in Darren Cameron's blog this week http://www.bluebombers.com/article/blog-darrens-world I remember when we offered Henoc Muamba a contract in 2013. He was going to be one of the league’s highest paid Canadians, and the highest paid linebacker
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103642 in that little interview someone posted he says he's loyal... that's a nice trait to have if he ends up being a keeper...
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103648 I thought this was another interesting bit from Darren Cameron's blog: To this day, I still text regularly with Henoc and with Receiver Chris Matthews (another example of this whole scenario), and even when I start the conversation about their latest game, they quickly turn it to how things are up here and how they just watched our last game. Both enjoyed their time in Winnipeg immensely, but their skills allowed them to play down south. We should commend that, and we do. Money may be the bottom line but if they do end up back in the CFL, it sounds like we'll have a head start on the other teams.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103685 @DarrinBauming: #Bombers add 5'10" 190lb International defensive back Sam Miller. The Florida International product spent parts of 2014 with Buffalo Bills.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103690 Looks like they are focusing at getting some talent for minicamps and tc; seems like they want to improve our defensive side of the ball in some areas. Hope to recruit the defensive side; and fix oline through FA/DRAFT? We could be heading into a good year if they manage both
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103698 Don't forget these dbs can probably play SAM.Sam Miller is 5'9" 182lbs.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103700 Don't forget these dbs can probably play SAM.Sam Miller is 5'9" 182lbs. 5'10" 190. Lots of SAM linebackers have played at a similar size.

Kent, Malveaux, both guys in that ball park. Nice to see some size being added. Kelly Malvaux was talented but very short- he had to roll his socks down to poop. You can teach technique but you can't teach height.

If you look back at guys who have played SAM, their size is probably exaggerated too. So the comparison still works. Unless you think Sam Miller is the first guy to be incorrectly listed.
