Posted June 22, 201510 yr comment_127358 Interesting - wonder if they view him as a veteran presence for what is a fairly young linebacking core.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127360 I don't mind this at all. Don't know tons about the guy but have heard his name lots.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127361 This should enable them to move Randle back to weakside CB. Shell plays on the SAM. I'm good with that.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127363 Not to sound like the others making comparisons with Addison Richards, etc, but this feels similar to the Romby Bryant move of last year...
June 22, 201510 yr Author comment_127364 The way I look at it - it's a veteran presence in the secondary / linebacking group. Not to mention even at 33, this guy brings it on special teams. I don't like a lot of these old age signings (such as Bryant last year) but I like Shell.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127369 I don't know if people remember the show that TSN did on the Argos behind the scenes a few years ago but on one show they focused on Lin J Shell for an episode and how much he does to help youth football in Florida and getting kids out of gangs and off the streets. I wish him all the best, and if he can help the Bombers this year, I hope he enjoys his one last year in the sun.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127370 Mixed feelings on this. Feels a little Kuale/Romyeque but given the greeness of our lb core, likely a good move.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127372 If he can play SAM I like the move. Sounds like he's an option at safety and DB too. I didn't watch him at all last year, but if he any better than Jovon/Banks were in their final year with the Bombers?
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127373 At his age it seems like a regressive move, unless he can be expected to instruct the starters on playing the position better.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127375 Shell's best days are behind him IMO. Don't think he's an upgrade over our current DB's.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127377 Meanwhile Vega signs in Toronto as does Whittaker and we talking about us signing a washed up player? Wow.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127380 Meanwhile Vega signs in Toronto as does Whittaker and we talking about us signing a washed up player? Wow. Vega and Whittaker are both washed up too.
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127386 Also of note, Malachi Freeman released to make room... Really? He seemed like a gamer to me...
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127388 Meanwhile Vega signs in Toronto as does Whittaker and we talking about us signing a washed up player? Wow. Vega and Whittaker are both washed up too. If Vega's healthy, he's far from washed up...
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127389 Also of note, Malachi Freeman released to make room... Really? He seemed like a gamer to me... Also thought it odd, as he's the most recent name brought in to camp...
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127391 Meanwhile Vega signs in Toronto as does Whittaker and we talking about us signing a washed up player? Wow. Vega and Whittaker are both washed up too. If Vega's healthy, he's far from washed up... We'll see...
June 22, 201510 yr comment_127398 What makes Shell washed up? How come when ancient Korey Banks was signed this was a smart move to add a veteran?
