May 12, 20169 yr comment_196105 In that case i imagine we are mostly done adding players till perhaps cut down days. (if other teams cut some one we are interested in) Id say we really won the off season, now if only we can translate that into a winning regular season.
May 24, 20169 yr comment_197279 Bombers add 6 and subtract 6. Released. Receiver Larry Pinkard Receiver Ernest Smith Running back B.J. Catalon Defensive lineman Jordan Stanton Defensive back Justin Green Defensive back Arthur Williams Added. receivers Gerrard Sheppard and Thomas Mayo, running back Carlos Anderson, defensive lineman Cameron Henderson, linebacker Duron Singleton, and defensive back Jarrid Bryant. All players are Internationals.
May 24, 20169 yr comment_197280 glad to see Anderson back! Hopefully his knee has healed up nicely and he's good to go!
May 24, 20169 yr comment_197285 I really like that we brought Carlos back - I'm also a big fan of the Singleton and Mayo signings. Singleton could factor in at safety.
May 24, 20169 yr comment_197290 Jarrid Bryant was with the Bombers briefly last off-season but he didn't make it past mini-camp
May 25, 20169 yr comment_197341 Hiring Ed Tait was a great off-field move for the Bombers this year: Euclid Cummings may not have drawn the giant headlines of other free-agent splashes made by the Bombers this winter, but he could be critical to what Winnipeg does in the trenches this season. He's a Minister of Sinister along the line of scrimmage and some believe the best tackle in the CFL. "Minister of Sinister", gotta love it. http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/05/25/positional-preview-defensive-line/
May 25, 20169 yr Author comment_197367 WINNIPEG, MB., May 25, 2016 – Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the addition of International running back Tim Flanders. Flanders (5-9, 210, Sam Houston State, Sept. 29, 1991, in Midwest City, OK) played three seasons with the Bearkats. In those three years, Flanders rushed for over 4,200 yards and found the end zone 55 times. He holds 34 school records, including most touchdowns in a season (24), most touchdowns in a game (5), and most career all-purpose yards (4,800). Flanders spent the last part of the 2015 season with the B.C. Lions.
May 25, 20169 yr Author comment_197371 Just think of all the lines we can use....it's going to be amazing.

May 25, 20169 yr comment_197419 Flanders production was incredible. His nfl scout report is pretty messed up though. They say he has to break away speed, doesnt have strong moves, and goes down with first contact. 4.78 40 yard but a best of 4.65 Looks like a guy who isnt a josh ranek esq tackle breaker but not a guy who will go down with arm tackles. Maybe hes a guy who isnt a 40 runner but has football speed. Certainly doesnt look football slow in his highlights.

May 26, 20169 yr comment_197470 Highlight video? He looks just like a hundred other rb's that have played in the NCAA.

He looks just like a hundred other rb's that have played in the NCAA. Yeah it was a lot of what you see in mid level talent playing on low level teams. Didnt do any thing special hit holes and ran into tackles. Couple decent moves here or there not crazy speed or any great cuts. His 40 time was awful, but the first report from rookie camp was he looks quick. Its hard to tell some from video some times, how fast a guy is on the field. Guess we will see. But even if he isnt great im pretty excited to see the rest of our RBs in camp.
