Yep, and given he is just returning to practice now, It might take a bit for him to get his cardio to 100% and the rust off. We will see. But I am confident he will get back to that point and be the guy he was previously. It might hamper his ability to take the next step forward this year though.

That brings value in keeping the return team off balance, too. Teams can't just run to a spot 40 yards downfield based on where their returner is set up / reading. Medlock was fantastic at recognizing when a KR was cheating to one side too much, then smashing a low screamer away from him, ending up with a massive punt bounce n roll for 70+ yards.

I do agree that imp wr is very talent deep. But it’s still really hit or miss among top talents. I think dbs are next most replaceable after RBs, then wrs. Imp guards would be really high but no one really uses them. I don’t like the crazy expensive wr core approach. I get keeping a guy like schoen, but after that to sustain success you really gotta find guys cheap and develop them. He was crazy green and played a lot as a rookie. 2nd year is big for Canadians and wrs. What I saw is he did a fantastic job of playing with in him self and not trying to do too much. Usually you see kids trying to cheat or look down field before the ball arrives. Clercius played like a seasoned pro and did every thing we could want. If he played a premium pass catcher spot he could be a volume guy. The fact we moved on from woli when he wasn’t even paid that much says a whole lot. Most loves woli. True, if they think they can turn guys around they will bring them in. There was a Time when Wj was considered problematic. If they didn’t believe in the guys ability to be a fit in the locker room and market they wouldn’t. They don’t just ignore guys with a past.

To be fair we haven’t had much competition at P. Evan’s is ridiculously good though. We drafted him I can’t imagine we won’t play him if he kills it in camp. Thing is he can kick for 45-50 with drastically better hang time than Sheahan. And with less shanks. I think Evan’s would have to really crap the bed to not make the team.

Case wasn’t in the first game, maybe he had to return home? Other wise we could’ve stuck some one on the ir who we know is gonna make it and doesn’t need the reps. Nah Lawson was taking equal reps with Thomas and more down the stretch before his injury. They paid him top tier money, he’s likely gonna play more snaps than Jake.

Thanks for sharing. That’s a good sign. I mean, it wouldn’t be like the mafia to bring in or keep around a toxic waste dump of a guy. Second chances are important, he doesn’t need to be tc mvp. But we badly need that no2/3 target. Weve got that all over possession guy who can do a bit of every thing in schoen, the catch and run guy in Demski, big reliable catchers in white and big Kev. Dmitch fits that last spot to a T of a deep threat who the D has to account for even when the ball doesn’t go his way.

That makes sense. He did start the season well, about half his production came in the first 4 games. 22 and 23 most of his production came in a similar chunk mid season.

Yep, when I broke down his total play off stats here I did the gcs too. It’s hideous.

Some times people kick addictions and pick up other problems, other times the addiction can be the side effect of another problem too. We all know he’s as talented as it gets, and we know he’s prone to saying stupid stuff. He might be out of football if we cut him, so he better have his head on straight now. tbh Lawler has a lot in common with him. Some stupid mistakes, dui/passport etc. struggled to be consistent/on the field. But lawler, is a hell of a competitor. He says the right things to media and does the right things on the field. Mitchell needs to find that dog, and keep it close all year.

I took it as a mental competitive drive thing. Some guys are slow starters even in pro sports. It isn’t good, you’re right. Might not be the end of the world, but I think he needs to go out and take a starting job from some one Friday. It’s also one of those things you shouldn’t publicly admit.

Yup, one of the best kr guys in cfl history and our best by a lot.

How many of those came from grants 4 seasons here though? He had 8 tds on punt and kick offs in his time here, not sure on missed fgs. But I bet him in those 4 years makes up about 90% of our scores in the last 10. We have had a very good cover team historically in that time range. Its not a curse or any thing, its kind of been an after thought where we settled for guys who played good enough. Outside of grant being big play dangerous hasn’t seemed like a priority for us from the kr game.

Yeah I think schmek will be out for Lawson, I also think he might start over old Jake when 100%. But that will be a big litmus test.

Yup, when that happens I got hugged by like 4 strangers in the stands. Every one knew what that play meant. It’s in the top tier of bomber plays and moments. Man Lawson back is huge hope he’s. Should be lots of time to get ready for game 1.

If he’s healthy, love to have him back. lmao no doubt. Insane that they are going for another year like that. I don’t think Lofton is gonna be ready, but we do still have a decent bit of time. Lber is what I worry about. I really don’t want use to give up on Ayers, especially for tjones.

Man I hope that’s not the case. Seems like it he played with 2nd unit on. Wallace also played a lot with his rt reps as did vibert.

Seems like the league told the ALs they would be held accountable to the rules and they tried to break it to the guy softly. Doesn’t matter how the horn works, if it’s mechanical or pneumatic etc it will be banned. If it’s out right too loud it’ll also be banned. They want the easy short cut to having a home field like the bombers and riders do with out nearly the attendance or stadium design. right? Or fly out 10-20 guys to sit around them with the same horn and beak it none stop when the ALs have the ball. See how fast they change tune.

He has a disproportionate amount of shanks from deep in our end that give instant field goal range. Yep, we need a kr stop gap. Logan will be an excellent kr when healthy. We need a guy who runs up, catches and every ball possible, goes north south and gets consistently decent yards. I think vaval should be that guy. I’m also not at all against using our by week and this week to try out guys for a worst case scenario. I think we need wr talent more than kr right now. Both ni and imp. We should be getting ready to go through other teams cuts really well. I haven’t seen any thing from the rookie imo wrs that even looks like in a year they might be good.

As it is I think we will be right up against it for starting Canadians with 3ol. I would still look hard at flipping wil to ni but we aren’t grooming to get that done this year.

I think white has just about won a job with his run game play and system fit.

Eli doesn’t work well with kola. Neuf tbh doesn’t either. It’s certainly sup optimal by a lot. Imp guard is a crutch. If you gotta do it, do it. I think we are best off sticking Wallace in and growing with him. Then one day swapping Eli in for the turnstile at c. vanterpool also had some really good plays at T. I’d like to continue to see him develop there and push Randolph. 100% agree. since we have a bye then a suspension week to Zach, I think he needs a decent few snaps this game to get the last rust off and try to keep it off.

I don’t expect all 4 QBs to play tbh. I think Wilson’s snaps will be limited even. Strevy and zach likely play a lot of the snaps unless injury, massive hits, or an extremely lopsided performance. From what I’ve seen and the reports so far I think punting is what it is and will continue to be. Sheahan has been shaky and Evan’s looks like a killer.

Off this performance I agree. Some one could play them self off next week though I really doubt it. With zach suspended game 1, chase is likely to dress for that game. Then off to the pr. If elgersma doesn’t stick down south we will have a tough decision to make. Best case scenario he sticks down south this year then is in camp next year. I’m a bit concerned that we will put Eli at G and have a lot of issues. I’d be ok with Wallace at G and Eli the 6th. Though vanterpool at g and Randolph at T is better, that’s a bunch of change too so it might not even make us better in the short term. Id di Cooley and vaval, with Sergio and a lber (jones jones Ayers) or a dl (adams woods person). I like vaval as a db and a return man. I’d have him return punts, and split ko returns with Cooley. Cooley would also be a sub pack guy and back up slot. Like we did with gmc and others previously. Cooley and bo in a 2 back set is a lot better option than the meh wr filler we have.

Yeah, could you imagine siting next to those two randomly though? Can’t imagine how annoying it is in person. I’m sure the league won’t let them do the same crap with another horn and continue to ruin broadcast.

yeah it’s gross. They’ve even been getting complaints from their own season ticket holders about those two. And still he’s trying to convince the ALs to let him use other similar horns.
