BC at Edmonton

3 Areas To Watch

Number 2 Pivot: Who Steps Up?

BC - Ricky Lloyd and first-year Leos Austin Apodaca and Cole Sears will handle the quarterback reps in hopes of getting a leg up on sticking behind Reilly on the depth chart. 

Edmonton- Danny O’Brian, Logan Kilgore, Briscoe.

- One big observation in the first week of camp is the depth at receiver. Standouts at the position have included Joey Augustin, Marquis Bundy and Mexican additions Fernando Richarte and Gerardo Alvarez. All CFL clubs are required to keep one global player on their roster beyond training camp.

- Defensive Line: Calling On Another Bookend

With Odell Willis having another strong showing in camp, the big question remains who will line up as the other bookend.

- Linebacker Adam Konar gets to battle some of his own teammates after he was cut loose and quickly picked up by the Lions on day one of camp. He’ll start at MLB

Yeah, likely not. I doubt he has the impact Kongbo has

Ahh so Kongbo stepping up is an absolute coup for us - HUUUUGGEEE... but Betts rotating along with Boateng is just no big deal - Yawn.

Okey dokey ha

Betts can't play teams, lber, DT etc. It's hard for a back up rotational end to be exceptional just pass rushing. 

I'm a big fan of Betts, Kongbo isn't the same kind of prospect. Kongbo was the best talent in the league and a steal. Betts could be one of the better nis in the league in a few years. Where as Kongbo could be playing significant minutes in the NFL at that point.

Reminds me of when we dodged the bullet by not signing Messam because he couldn't play 'teams' haha

I would have taken Messam as a player in a heart beat. As a head case not so much. In this league as a back up Canadian you have to play teams. And you have to do it well. A starter doesn't need to. Messam was a starter Betts isn't yet.

Get back to me after Betts is actually rostered and we see if he plays 'teams' or not...

Can he throw?

I think that's Edmonton's not only but biggest issue right now.

Or you can follow up when he provides this huge boost...

Betts I think was a bit over hyped..but we will see..but he doeant have the same tool box Kongbo has..or the potential. 

Have to remember that Kongbo is still learning the Canadian game..and fresh off of ACL rebuild...he will be even more impressive next yr 2 years removed from surgery..speaking from experience btw

What I meant tho on he wont be much help to them is that de is not an issue for them..Dline in general isnt so even if he rotates in for Boateng..its insignificant really

Will do - same as when I said Boateng was the steal of his draft year

I just see it as opening up a DI spot for now

I wouldn't say its 'huge' for this season but its huge in the same sense that Geoff Gray was 'huge' for us even if he didn't play much that first season

Brett Jones is re-signing with Minnesota.

 

Longtime EDM sports columnist Terry Jones, even handed as they come, thinks Maas is on the edge of the proverbial cliff. Hard to argue otherwise.

Oh ok, what's the name of the former MTL running back in BC now? I always get those too confused.

Either way, solid signing. Is Mashall not getting it done?
