Harris also had his way with the cats d. And so did our ol. I feel like McKnight would be great in the slot. You don't often find diminutive wrs with such great quickness. I can't wait to see a few of these guys in game.

Nope

Could be darby either not starting or used as DI. He was traded for half way through camp and missed some time after he did arrive. They added him half way through last month. Wouldve been in camp with the RBs last year if it wasnt for covid. https://redblackshome.wordpress.com/2019/12/23/new-redblacks-receiver-james-tyrell-a-competitor-going-into-new-opportunity/ at the eastern combine his results were 5'11 185, 4.79 40, 32.5" vert, 10'3.5 broad jump, 4.4 shuttle and 8 reps of 225.

Yeah I mean whats that depth chart look like? 37 vet linebackers?

No, I think the surprises will be based on who is healthy to start out. Im betting we have guys on the pr/taxi who will be on the gameday roster. Theyre just giving a little extra time for vets to heal or make the decision and maybe protecting a couple vets from poachers aka the argos. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/receiver-mcknight-survives-bombers-cut-down-day-after-making-strong-impression-under-difficult-circumstances?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I think meredith on the PR is mostly based on his health and maybe needing a bit more practice time. Other wise not many surprises. James tyrell (ni), kelvin mcknight and ardarius stewart make the wr core. Im sure we will see agudosi and meredith at some point. Antigua and rocquemore both on the roster as imp lbers is interesting, I think some thing will give there. Casey sayles makes the roster, and im sure we will see rose and his speed at dt at some point. 12 dbs, 9 of which are imp im sure will see some movement there too. Probably going to be a couple guys on the IR to start.

https://www.argonauts.ca/2021/07/30/argos-add-pair-announce-final-training-camp-moves/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter can we officially call BS on them being under the cap?

Yeah they spent like drunk sailors and didnt pay any mind to who they had. Man I would still love to get judge here. Idk if hed want the role and pay hed get here but thatd be a great luxury for us.

Yeah that cut down is the biggest cut day mess ive seen in a long time. I cant imagine judge would be the odd man out. I wonder if the the argos are just going wild on the phones trying to cut a deal to get some value from vets they are about to cut right now. Gonna be interesting thats for sure.

The argos are busy today. I feel like its never a good sign when the team that "won" free agency is scooping other teams cuts on cut down day before making their own.

I heard he was having a good camp kinda surprised. I wouldn't mind him on our pr but I think we are locked in with crapinga

We def need to keep the 21 dbs though 😄

It would help if we did more off tackle stuff. I'd love to see a spray chart on his runs. Brady is pretty ideal to eat up some of the inside reps. Quickness to cut back or shake and bake and the 230 lbs of bowling ball to run through any arms and a bunch of bodies. I hope he pans out and stays healthy. I think you just figured out how it really got hurt in the first place!

Funny thing is medlock fell out of the NFL and ended up here because he got em down south. I wish they would've had him as a guest coach to work with him in camp. Oh man he looks like streveler rubbed off on him lol. Probably by next year at latest I imagine.

Grant also subbed in at wr some after lucky got benched and looked like he could end up being a good x factor guy

Qft. Also grant will roster as a wr and di. Was hoping orange would turn out to be solid but haven't heard a peep about him in camp. And all I've heard about borsa is he's gotten plenty of reps. If Harris is out and we do 2 wr for kr duty borsa would be nice to carry as a 3rd rb. I assume we will di a db a lber like antigha.

That's a good point too. A year like this is going to be hard on wr and db injuries as well.

Yeah I think at this point we will see Harris out for game one. And when he returns to see a reduced work load till late in the season when we will need him most. Heavy dose of multi back and Harris even at sb. If Harris is out I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 ni and 1 di rb.

That's what I was thinking. Always tough to make that call but a guy like that should've benefited the most from a year off. Similarly I'm happy it seems Zach has seemed healthy. That whole offense looks awful. Be interesting to see what Flanders does its kinda crazy he's hardly seen any action since 17. I think he's been in camp with 5 cfl teams and has less than 100 carries. Idk if that happens or not but I wouldn't be surprised to see him coaching.

In an article on 3dn its reported Nichols is taking starters reps but that's he's still fighting that shoulder injury and not 100 percent. I think ott is going to have a very rough go of it this year. They also seem to be all in on having Flanders as their starting rb.

The reports have been a bit sparse out of camp with out having posters able to attend and report but it seems like the competition at wr is as deep and closely fought as it has been in ages. By my count I see atleast 10 guys that they want to keep around. And it's likely more like 12.

We have 1 more db in camp than wrs. Most teams have a similar number of wrs and dbs right now. If any thing we have a disproportionately high number of rbs. I don't think we've cut any rbs but we've cut every other position short of kicker. If we were worried about wr we would've picked up one of the proven vets in free agency. The fact we haven't been linked at all sinks the theory we aren't happy with our wrs. If the mafia are worried about any thing it's rb and kicker. Harris has driven the teams yards gained and medlock set the record for fgs made not long ago plus his punting has been a big boost to field position with our offense leading in 2 and outs for a few years.

In baumings piece on bonfire sports he said deatrick Nichols the former xfl db had been our best db in camp so far and had played him self into a starting spot. He was a sneaky good pick up. He's quick and a yac guy. We are gonna see some tough cuts or a lot of guys hidden on the ir

It's normal around the league this year. Since you know 2 years of rookie recruiting.

Every team is looking for upgrades to every position at all times. Look at dt. For years we've had stellar play on the interior of the dl but we've also repeatedly replaced high end and star players with new guys and rookies. Most people expect our wr core to perform at a higher level due to addition by subtraction and maturity. The change from Nichols and plop means far more opportunities for wrs to catch the ball in a position to do damage and further down field. We have not been a catch and run team other than Harris out of the back field for years. And by maturity because wrs are almost never elite in year one and we had some stellar early career production.
