IIRC the PR maximum was increased from 12 to 13. That should account for Lawson and Eli returning to the AR. Houston will be added to the AR while Lawrence goes to 1 game IR. Or Daramy-Swaray gets bumped to PR. Jeffcoat probably bumps Jackson to PR. Ultimately there will be some further changes as the week progresses. So essentially, they cut Pigrome to accommodate DB Tyrique McGhee on the PR. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Pigrome was not progressing the way they wanted or perhaps he didn't want to sit on the PR. Either way, Prokup's addition made Pigrome expendable. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Zipp Posted June 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 From Derek Taylor: Day 2 of Bombers practice. Greg McCrae in for Carlton Agudosi again. Once again no Adam Bighill. And Redha Kramdi continues at DIME. Hopefully Bighill just needs to rest up. Noeller and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quite athletic at his size. Jackson just gets pushed aside when he's going to lead block on runs. I suppose Jackson is more useful on the special teams, but they have other nationals that can take his role as well. wbbfan and BigBlueFanatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having that extra DB...Say Mouhamed (who's also and experienced CFL guy) or get Cole back on the roster who next to Miller is prob one of our better ST guys would make way more sense rebusrankin and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue In BC Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 It seems fairly clear that Lawrence has some level of injury and will not play this week. Hopefully it's not too serious and only a 1 game IR situation. Oliveria didn't practice much last week either but I suspect he'll play and this is just allowing healing time. Bighill doesn't need reps either and there has been no indication he'll be unavailable to play. I'm not exactly sure what the deal is with Agudosi on 2nd team reps or whether this means McCrae replaces him on the roster? Or are we just adding McCrae on the AR in place of Jackson now that we have Eli back as an extra TE / blocker? That would give us McCrae as a receiver / RB for sweeps instead of Grant although we don't do that too much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Curious if Agudosi is actually being benched for performance reasons or what. Either way, not like he's done a TON out there and why not try out American Demski and see what he does.....? Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand1.5 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Agadosi and Mc Crae are very differently built receivers, but I like the versatility Mc Crae may be able to bring. It could be Mc Crae and that versatility are a better fit for what the coaches see against Mtrl? I also hope Lawson and Jeffcoat can spell in, Even if Jeffcoat only gets worked in slowly and only takes a handfull of snaps. The guy can't stay healthy but for a handfull of plays a game he can make a difference. He is like a NHRA drag car motor, you only get a few passes before they need a rebuild, but damn that pass they do is high level stuff Mark F, Tracker and ddanger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he isn't running the routes correctly, maybe too slow or maybe in the last game Zach didn't have enough time for the big man to get open. I don't know if Gary Peters was on him all game but he is a very good DB and can shut guys down. when Kenny comes back no doubt in my Agudosi is a rotational dude. we don't seem to post him up in the end zone when a smaller DB is on him. He is still learning the game though and if he has a good attitude about accepting coaching I think he can play an important role in our offense.

He is still learning the game though and if he has a good attitude about accepting coaching I think he can play an important role in our offense. Imo some of the biggest issues I’ve seen from him this year are separation or lack their of and crocodile catches. He isn’t being smart or sharp with his cuts or the concepts we are running. This is what makes schoen elite. And lawler too. They know when to burst when to cruise and how to play the game with dbs. I haven’t seen any of that from Agudosi. If we game plan and package specifically for him we can create opening but dbs figure this stuff out quick. He just doesn’t use his length to create extra cushion either. We waits too long for the ball to hit him in the numbers. He isn’t getting out and attacking the ball with his hands. this can change and improve. Bailey has had two rough starts to the season and bounced back in a big way both times. Agudosi just has to grind. That said idk how much more time he has left and at his age its tough to be that raw. Demski is a few months older than him. Woli and sheed are both a bit younger. Grant is a bit older. Lawler is a bit younger. (Grant Demski lawler sheed and Agudosi are all 29, woli is 28.) Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
