I think you'll be surprised by who we deploy in those screens/sweeps!

That would be good, but doesn’t seem the direction we are going. All our imps for that last spot are very wirey and don’t have that skill or reputation currently. If these guys don’t work out I could see us rolling the extra ni and doing just that.

Yup. Totally. I need to avoid falling into the old man trap of thinking it’s a bad get because it wasn’t what I was expecting. Big name. Tons of hits. Should put on a great show for the TV and live audience.

To be honest, 5th receiver isn't a position I expect a lot of production out of. What I do expect from that spot is someone who blocks well in both the pass and run game and be incredibly efficient with the touches he does get - he needs to buy in and play his role well.

Im excited to see how our new D cooridnator cooks things up. A younger view should be beneficial.

It will. His opportunities will improve, but his play making won't imo. He did a lot of catch and run stuff, the PA roll out screen, the jet sweep etc. He will have more room and get the ball in a better position but I think he will still get taken down by the first guy most of the time. I don't think he has that escapability, shifty, quick twitch style, or the power to break any tackles. He reminds me of a less stocky vinny sutherland. Straight line pretty decent wheels, down with first contact. We will see soon enough.

Scheme/plays/qb play will all improve.

Not my cup of tea but they'll bring eyes to the game.

A bit of a letdown.

Except well, 7 attempts to involve him, 5 touches, 25 yards. Maybe he will do better in real games, but it doesn’t often happen that guys play better vs starters than teams 2/3/4.

Come on Ambrose give me a break!

So they have a better show at the Lions home opener than they do for the GC? 😂

Kinda like Mitchell who did that last game.

Jonas brothers to perform at half time at the grey cup.

Wouldn’t mind if we’d grab one or two guys if they are willing to go to the pr while we sort out the secondary.

Either way, I think we will still be in the market for a wr. Probably see more nfl cuts cycle through. It’s not a high priority spot like RT imo, but finding some one who can bring some thing different would be great. A kr catch and run guy who can run the sweep would be nice.

Sheed was here from start of camp....got knicked....sat on the PR and eventually replaced Lucky....he didnt put in a yr before that seasoning on the PR

yea....seems odd, but I guess they like the others more....and nice to see a team go with new blood and not lean on the "vet" reasoning to roster who may be inferior.....

I am seeing some odd contradictory stats on various sites with 4,5 and 9 starts. I think what happened was he was here in tc, got hurt came back to the pr then the bouncing before locking in a spot around ld. At most he spent about a half season bouncing between the ir and pr, with about as much time on the ir. And yeah he was one of those odd guys who came to the cfl didn’t really play and got to the nfl then came back. Made good money down south too I think a couple mil. I would bet on him breaking it for sure

Will this be the year O’Shea ties/breaks Grants win record? O’Shea is at 96, Grant was 105. 9-9 season ties the record. Pretty incredible start to his coaching career.

You'll notice that the Jets are not mentioned! Now excuse me as I google flights to Edmonton for game 4!

See Roughriders, Saskatchewan.

Not sure where either of you are getting that info but looks like you are both wrong. He definitely did not spend a year and a half on the PR but he did bounce back and forth in 2019. According the CFL site, he was with the team from camp in 2019 as we added him to the roster in April. He only played 8 games that season - he was on the injured list from mid-June to mid-July and then bounced back and forth from the PR until September. He didn't record a single stat until week 13 (Banjo Bowl) at which time he stayed on the active roster. You can see the game logs and his transaction history pretty easily (like I had no idea that BC had briefly signed him way back in 2015). https://www.cfl.ca/players/rasheed-bailey/161788/

Ahhhhh excuse me, this is an exclusive Winnipeg Jet Winnipeg Blue Bomber club. It’s going to royally suck at the office today.

Mild shock about Tavarus McFadden and Maurice Carnell IV. Both were projected starters in our defensive backfield. A backfield that lost Stiggers, Peters and Pickett... so it's a big reset. The new defensive coordinatorS must be very confident in the new talent they brought in to drop two players who clearly play at starting CFL level.
