June 27, 20169 yr comment_203917 Sad to see Louie cut but not totally unexpected. He's the kind of guy that will probably hang around Wpg. anyway, unless he gets an opportunity with another team. Edited June 27, 20169 yr by Throw Long Bannatyne
June 27, 20169 yr comment_203940 Isnt richardson hurt? With the amazing boom in young de's and lbers we have it would be tough for him to crack the roster. The db and the one we picked up the other day look like gooders though.
June 27, 20169 yr comment_203947 not sure where to put this, because I don't want to delve into the ranting and raving threads, and it's not worthy of a new one yet.......but Weston Dressler being held out of practice today. On the sidelines but not practicing. Thomas Mayo getting the reps.....
June 27, 20169 yr comment_203949 Why are we not looking at bringing in more oline help. That is are major concern.

Completely agree with you... he seems like a great team leader and an all around good person (based on my minimal interactions with him)... unfortunately (for him) there's more talent around now and we can't keep a roster spot for a guy just b/c he's a good teammate...
June 27, 20169 yr comment_203955 Good pick up. Fair amount of NFL experience. Pretty good considering the NFL is crazy for DB's over 6 feet. Seems like he held his own. Any chance to get better in every area is always a plus.

It's a major challenge when a team like Mtl. shows up with a swath of tall lanky receivers and they face an entire secondary of U6ers. DB's like Demond Washington and Bruce Johnson can play like demons and still get beat regularly if the QB has time to place the ball beyond their upper reaches.

If you're tall and you can cover. You're more then likely going to be in the NFL. A lot of talented players in the secondary here in the CFL but mostly due to the NFL over looking them because of their height.

June 27, 20169 yr comment_203965 Tall DB have their issues too. Look what Chris Williams did to Pat Watkins this past weekend.

They figure it's not that bad. Irving says he was throwing balls with receivers and running today, which he wouldn't be if it was serious and he'd be out awhile.

Irving says he was throwing balls with receivers and running today, which he wouldn't be if it was serious and he'd be out awhile. Hope for the best, plan for the worse. Didn't look good at all. Health #1, I'm sure the Bombers training staff are monitoring him closely for any effects that can surface sometimes well after the actual hit (dizziness, headaches, nauseousness, vision issues etc). Here's hoping Weston didn't suffer any effects and he's back on the field ready to go.
June 27, 20169 yr comment_203980 They're "hopeful" (didn't say expect him) he'll play this week. Jessie Briggs and Khalil Bass should be in Friday, but Johnny Adams still a ways out yet. Said they don't wanna rush him because "we want him ready for the long haul"...

Ummmm because good experienced Canadian Oline players are as rare as unicorns in this league. Sure we could bring in 1000 crappy ones but we won't be finding any good ones that can help. We can bring in some Americans but then we are messing up the ratio.

Kind of surprised the Bombers didn't pick up anyone from the cut lists but maybe Keeping isn't gone for too long and they think Couture can hold the fort until he returns.
