February 9, 20169 yr comment_182122 Needed two things this year: Walters to dip into this particular deep FA pool to upgrade overall talent and starting Canuck lineup - this has been done. Stronger recruiting across the board, before and during season - we will see...

Pretty sure they were targetting Sholo or Laurent from the start... Hall's D needs strong interior push Cappicotti could still be an option - put all your $$ into DL and start imports on OL

February 9, 20169 yr comment_182130 I'm just glad they are finding a way to start 5 nationals on their lines, needing only two more elsewhere. They are better off than before with just that, never mind the actual upgrade in the talent level of the players.
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182131 what a frenzy so far. we've definitely put a dent in some of the holes on our roster today, thats for sure.
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182132 Who's left to target... OL - Keeping, Give Matt Norman another chance, Fulton should be cheap DL - Cummings, Cappicotti instead of Peach, maybe DonnyO for depth WR - Chambers is that big receiver we need... DB - Grymes LB - Reed, Plesius Edited February 9, 20169 yr by Floyd
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182134 JC sherritt, but scott mitchell was tweeting that calgary is going all out for him, so it might just be a matter of dotting i's and crossing t's

DB - Grymes LB - Reed, Plesius While I'm no fan of Norman at all, the Bombers only have 3 NI Olinemen on their roster. Even if they're planning to start 3 imports along the line it would be insane of them to not have 5 NI's somewhere on their roster, 4 of which are not projects. If we draft one decent development guy who's not ready now but we'd stick in as a backup for a game or two if fate frowns on us, we still need another guy who can be at least a game day backup for week 1. No real chance we'll find that in the draft. So while I'll hold my nose, signing Norman makes some sense for the Bombers. The biggest problem I have with him is I don't want him to start and don't think he's good enough to start, but the nature of free agency means we probably will have to offer him starter money to get him.

We already have the best NI defensive end in the league. Adding a starting calibre defensive tackle seems like a good route to go. While Jake Thomas has always exceeded my expectations, he's not at that level. Much like Harris has come home to Winnipeg and Lirim has returned home to Ontario, Cappiciotti looks likely to return home to BC. Sometimes we have to accept that our love (and money) will go unrequited.

I'd be more concerned if they hadn't signed one of the four NI options out there. Still gets a thumb up based on need.
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182144 Keeping is an upgrade over Picard so no problem for me with that signing
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182145 Keeping is a very serviceable o lineman, very good first day for the Bombers
February 9, 20169 yr comment_182147 Just now, Noeller said: How old is Keeping? He's pretty old, right? 33

I don't think they have to pay him starter's wages to continue his football career, he's nye the end.
