Jpan85 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Fogg was really good year one think he was little out of place at SAM. Think he would be fine as field side HB. O'Shea also mentioned that Fenner players faster than he test. Basically is able to play to the speed of the guy he is defending it was in today's media availability.

Kito Poblah was a training camp all-star too, if memory serves. June 1st is the first pre-season game...I think he ment he has earned some big playing time in that game to prove himself Nickthesizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you implying he might play for another team? If he's healthy enough to play he's way too good to not have a place for him. Or are you implying he won't be healthy enough to play or play like has has in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great at making big plays. Picks, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries and big returns. But his coverage was very spotty as a rookie too. Ideally imo we'd have him as an extra db not a starter.

Fogg/Lankford concerns me a bit but let’s wait and see. I kinda feel like lankford is the next hurl/kuale. He does flash a good play now and again but we have soo many better imp wrs on the roster right now its ridiculous. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Labour Day or Banjo Bowl is a realistic target. Let’s be real, if he’s healthy they don’t sign Fenner AND Gaitor, plus re-signing Fogg. They are counting on half his salary or maybe more being off the cap.

I feel bad for Lankford, as in an interview I heard last year about this time, he came across as humble, thoughtful and grateful for the chance to play a sport he loves. That aside, his skillset is just not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See guys like jackson jeffcoat, JSK, poop, an every ones favorite ex wr. this isnt a team where the most talented / best fits play. The most versatile guys play, and some random un seen factors apply (kuale factor) mostly most does seem to come around to the best players though.

Right before rookie camp we were hearing that he was feeling 100% and playing basketball etc... I wasn’t sure if he reaggravated things or there was some sort of set back. Hearing all about the hype regarding Fenner’s attitude and versatility had me wondering if Leggett would be our surprise cut. Not saying that Fenner is a better, but similar type of player and cheaper. Achilles injuries are ones that are difficult for football and basketball players to come back from. I like the idea of 6 gaming him right off the bat. Makes a lot of sense in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Leggett said last year that he was so taken by the different culture here, he brought his family up, he may well remain even if cut by the Bombers. He might be a good backup in case of emergency. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hard to see a guy like Leggett getting cut at this time of year. They would have paid out an off-season bonus and probably a roster bonus at the start of camp. Albertabomberguy, Atomic and SPuDS 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Sounds like some of the newcomers are starting to push for spots as both Marcus Sayles and Tyneil Cooper have had some reps wit the starting defence today in place of Fogg and Alexander.

BigBlue Posted May 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 For all the Lankford haters MOS has been singing his praises on multiple occasions .... perhaps he has learned a thing or two ... that being said he has intense competition at both returner and wideout ... I hope the preseason will show who will really stand out for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Couple of notes from today's practice, was able to attend: Defense was all over the offense today. Nichols had two interceptions and should have had a third. Streveler looked pretty poor. He had an interception where the DB undercut the RB's out route. Next play he scrambled left, tried to hit a receiver but put it in the turf. Seemed slow on his progressions but obviously hard to tell. The defense sacked him on a blitz and he had another ball batted down. Bighill blew up Harris on one run play that scared the heck out of me. Kyrie Wilson was still "starting" over JSK, who dressed today. Wilson had a really nice pick, reading Nichols' eyes on the 8-on-8 drill. Dropped back into coverage and just snagged it. They put the subs in for the next play and JSK picked off Nichols immediately too. Those were Nichols' two interceptions, as mentioned above. Gaitor almost had a third later on in the red zone. I know almost nothing about punting but Menard-Briere had some nice punts today. Medlock still had more hang time.
