We know what we have in Clements, Wade needs to show more next week Hard to make plays in the back field or at the line when the dl is being handled.

We seem to have a stacked WR core and he seems to be the odd man out. Yeah it’s only a half a pre-season game but it’s going to be curious on everyone take. Are there others on the chopping block? We need a backup cdn. That's Bolo. I think Agudosi is the odd man out. rebusrankin, wbbfan and bb1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know what we have in Clements, Wade needs to show more next week Not trying to single you out and tell you you’re wrong, but Wade was blitzing on almost every single instance that happened in the 2nd Q. I honestly think he’s showing just fine. Certainly better than Clements, imo. It looks like he’s trying to process a bit too much but his range/activity level were both impressive to me in the moments I was watching him.

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Parker and Holm are great looking CFL DB's. Can turn up the aggression and come down hill at ballcarriers, great ball skills, both can return kicks too. I don't see anyway that these two guys don't make the team, even if it means one of Rose or Lawrence are cut. Kelly noticeable in contain on punt cover, bet he's on the roster day 1 too. I'm hoping for a little more juice out of Brian Cole if he's there when he gets out there at WIL. wbbfan and Goalie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Augustine is a fine place holder and special teamer, but we 100% need an import on the practice roster ready to go if needed. Bigblue204, Noeller and BBlink 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Taits point about tackling in practice is solid. But it’s only more reason to push hawk tackling imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Solid first half. Bit surprised Collaros played for as long as he did, but all good. Gonna grab another beer and settle back in. And as a side note, Edmonton's mascot is ******* frightening. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Imagine if hockey players only wore skates on gamedays.

Rose is leader who wants to be here I think they’ll keep him one way or another but he might be our 7th best db. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlink Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Based on what I've heard about Agudosi's camp so far...I find it hard to believe we will be cutting him. As for BOLO...based on that first half we clearly have a guy with a lot of talent. The ones he didn't catch were largely forced throws. Sure, he could have made better plays on the ball, but I don't hold those against him. I have a feeling BOLO might be our top canadian receiver by years end if given the opportunity. I'm a bit more worried about our defense. Piggy 1, Bigblue204, wbbfan and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
