At least TH said that there are 4 or 5 potential 1000 yard receivers... I took it as there are receivers capable of hitting 1k, not like KJ saying they can have 4 different 1k receivers in the same year...

The Riders definitely have 4 or 5 guys who can crack 1000 yards in career receiving.

watching Doug Brown hit him so incredibly hard.

I went to one of the games ricky played. The way I remember it, the entire bomber defence was tackling him all at once.  It was pretty funny. couldnt gain a yard.

I also remember watching 3 or 4 bombers crush him every time he got the ball.

at least that many

To be fair... you are much more likely to get a Ferrari.

Sure

I enjoyed watching Ricky get handled up here then go back down and have some very good years in the nfl, but all I remember of him was being very respectful and positive towards the cfl. Both before and after. Talking trash like that about how much production he’d put up isn’t very Ricky Williams. 

Yeah, same. Don't know why Noeller said what he did as Williams never trash talked the CFL. The guy was respectful when he played up here.

I'm not asking anything. I'm a bit confused on the mental gymnastics it takes to go from "player answering question about what he'd like to do" to "Player signing a contract based on producing all time stats" lol. I don't even know where to begin with that honestly.

Every single WR in the CFL should want the same thing and I suspect they all do. Mitchell was just the one asked a question.

He should focus on getting 1000 yards first. 
 

Been a lot of receivers who come up here and have a decent stretch of games and then drop off map. 
 

We will see where he lands. 

Big talk and a bridge too far coming out of this mans dreams......Begelton is a pretty good receiver .....but dreamin' it is a far stretch from reality....Someone has to remind Reggie that it happens on the field 

Reggie isn’t a 1000 yard receiver - they may have one in Henry

Another guy with lofty goals. Calgary's offence is going to be off the charts this year.

Carey is looking to keep rolling and has set some lofty goals for himself in 2023.

“1,500 yards, 15 touchdowns, (Most Outstanding Player) with the Grey Cup and Grey Cup MVP,” Carey told 3DownNation.

 

 

 

 

Over in Calgary, receiver Reggie Begelton is talking about having four players crack the 1,000-yard mark, something that has been done only four times in league history.

That raised an eyebrow or two in the Winnipeg camp.

“He can say it,” Lawler said. “Now it’s about doing it. So we’ll see. That’s what’s great about this group. No one cares about that. We don’t care who the 1,000-yard receivers are.”

This year he won’t be. And one of your circles isn’t 1000 yards is it? 

 

Jumal Rolle retired.

 

 

Kongbo to BC sucks real hard.

Well that sucks. 
 

Also, they’re already over paying for Canadian players there. Is he starting?

Unfortunate about Kongbo but not the end of the world. If it wasn't for his passport he'd be just another slightly above average pass rusher.

Ooooof that really sucks. I wonder if we just couldn't afford him or what. Curious how close to his level of play Anthony Bennett can be...
