Noeller Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yeah, regarding that Safety spot....I really think Noah Hallett (he's supposed to be the better of the two) is going to be given every chance in the world to win that spot in camp. Just the way MOS loves his CIS success stories......he'd love to have a Canuck in there. Having said that, if he doesn't show well, I could definitely see one of the more veteran imports being slid over (Maston, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just worry about Lawler's position. I keep waiting & hoping we sign someone like Ricky Collins as the pickings are getting slim. I'd like us to sign a veteran DB & Janarion Grant. The other thing is with 8 veterans gone elsewhere & their salaries off the books, why is Edmonton the front runner to sign Sergio Castillo? I'm not criticizing Walters but I am wondering just what is going on? We have some holes to fill & what are we waiting for?

We ended the year with no concerns at kicker. kicker might be the easiest position to fill. Kicking in the CFL is more or less the same as other leagues.

Noeller Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 In Walters We Trust. He hasn't steered us wrong yet. As far as the kicking, I really think they believe in Mourtada and Leigghio, and are prepared to go that route for the time being. At some point, it's going to be Legs show.... Just a matter of time. The rest of it.... I have faith there's a plan, because they always have a plan. Walters is the best GM in the league by a mile.

We probably would have lost the Grey Cup relying on Mourtada to kick 5 field goals. You can't just dismiss kicking as no big deal. It's an integral part of any team's success.

Not sure luck has anything to do with it. We had a need and we filled that need. Mourtada was kicking at a high clip right before we replaced him with Castillo. We brought Castillo in so we werent taking any chances. Were starting this year better than we did last year from the kicking standpoint and Im not worried that we will be able to sign a capable kicker if Mourtada doesn't pan out.

What has he done to be excited about? What is he good at? Here is McKnight's highlight video, he's fast but too short to play receiver IMO. It looks like he could be a good return man if Grant doesn't return. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last year there were lots of question marks around DB, and they unearthed a couple of good ones. Thinking they'll be able to network a few surprises this year. Eli was another great example of unearthing some off the radar talent. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A league that has had Brandon Banks, Chad Owens and Weston Dressler as league leaders in receiving stats in the last 10 years. bearpants, coach17, Tracker and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
