Adam's sets the tone for the receivers.. the grit and dirty yards and is a lethal blocker..which runs off on the others..I hope he is back..with some solid pieces around him..and our ryn game..he doesnt need to be a elite #1 guy..I think we have guys on roster now to be that guy..or one of the newbies..some inruiging guys coming to camp

Maybe with Harris as the focal point we don’t need an elite #1 receiver.

Why is everyone okay with letting Adams walk? He was still our most impactful receiver in playoffs

11-10	22	CGY	2	6	105	1	52.5	71
11-17	23	SSK	4	8	93	0	23.3	63

 60+ yard touchdown against Calgary.
60 yard reception against Sask when we were pinned at our goal line.
Quiet in the cup with 2 of 3 with one drop for 11 yards, but still.

We can't afford to lose our one international receiver who has actually shown he is capable of explosion plays. 

I never said I’m ok with him walking. He’s been our best wr for the past 3/4 years. I just don’t think he will get re-signed. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think they will pay him the 160k+ he deserves.

Interesting....

I think he isn't listening to any team not putting money up.

Sounds like it’s just a tryout, not a contract though 

O’Shea on Matt Nichols:

“I do think he’ll be ready to play. You don’t have to be around Matt for long to understand how tough he is, and how competitive, and how hard he’s going to work. It’s been well documented that he’s had some setbacks due to injury and I don’t know if that’s ever stopped him from doing anything, He rehabs his butt off and then he’s ready to go and perform at a high level again.”

 

 

O’Shea on Sean McGuire:

”We like Sean McGuire and we believe he’s going to be a good football player. We think he’s a good player now and he’s going to be a good pro. Where that leads us, how that roster shakes out, we’ll have to see.”

Stopped him from moving well in the pocket the last two years. 

Seems a foregone conclusion that they bring him back I just hope it's not at big money or as a defacto starter. 

O'Shea pretty much says the same thing every time about every player.

Exactly. Trying to take anything out of what MOS says about players is 100% a waste of time.

Adarius Bowman and Chris Matthews were also players that were 100% committed and once ready will make a big impact with the club as per O'Shea....  I don't read to much into this. 

What MOS was supposed to say, one supposes:

“I don't think he’ll be ready to play. It’s been well documented that his throwing shoulder is screwed, and since his last lower body injury, Matt has the mobility of a fence post.  He may never be able to perform at a high level ever again.”

The real goods and reality can escape us at times.....

He doesnt have to be blunt or brutal, but youve gotta be realistic and cant tether the team down.

The QB position has got to be the most demanding one on the team. Many an athlete has pronounced him/herself recovered and ready to roll, but the team found out that was not so. I would think that a good  athlete does not have to lose  high percentage of ability to become a so-so performer.  This may be so with Nichols- in the past, when he was injured but still able/willing to play, his performance dropped off a lot. And he is a year older now, so his being able to win and keep a starting role is iffy.

O'shea would be saying the same thing even if they were planning on moving on from him. 

Who was the last QB to start his pro career in Canada and subsequently signed as a QB in the NFL?  Jeff Garcia?

Farhan Lalji says as many at 8 NFL teams interested in Chris Streveler, sounds like he's as good as gone: https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/nfl-workout-watch-qb-chris-streveler~1873125

I’m taking a wait and see approach on this one.  The problem is he can’t work out for nfl teams.  The problem with Streveler playing in the NFL Is how he plays.  He takes on contact directly.  He’s very fast but doesn’t have finesse moves or presence of mind to get down and avoid contact. If he can’t stay healthy in the cfl with this style imagine how things will go for him against bigger defenders and a smaller field. Taysom Hill rarely throws the ball and is mostly used as a receiver. Last time I checked Streveler wasn’t a high end receiver before switching back to qb and downgraded schools. 

I don't see Strev making it down south....  it's not like he lit up the league up here with his passing.   He's to raw to play receiver / tight end....   I see him back and with a long CFL career. 

Streveler ran through and around Calgary's D in a playoff game with a broken foot.

He's going to the NFL.  Even before that he was going to the NFL.  They missed him and they are kicking themselves for it.  He has a place on a NFL team as a football player.  They don't need him to be a passer.

Hill never played receiver before he joined the Saints.

If you want to see Streveler avoid contact watch the highlights of the West Semi Final when he ran right past the entire Calgary D ON A BROKEN FOOT!

He will get some looks but what position is he gonna play down there? And I know you’ll say wherever they want to put him like taysom hill, but hill is listed as a qb, and I can’t see a team willing to take strev on as a backup qb.
