Sometimes Buck gets a little too cute on those gimmick plays. He was brought up by Lapo after all. 

I wonder who the best OC buck worked under up here was. Im imagining it wasn't a bunch of elite offensive minds calling the offence. I think he was mainly the starter when Dorazio had his stint as OC in BC.

Probably Lapo himself. I think we had Gary Crowton and Jamie Baressi here during Bucks time.

I'm guessing this has something to do with a TSN segment. But I'm not sure I like him taking reps from guys...it's not a huge deal sure... but still

He's making a comeback, BigBlue! The legend has returned.

 

But, I'm certain MOS wouldn't let Milt take any meaningful reps. I would hope he's just a positive influence for the rookies in camp.

Maybe he can tell them about how much he loves the Gappers. 
 

He talks about it enough on TSN.

kind of like O'Shea's son was in rookie camp last year.

I mean its rookie camp. We will probably cut 5+ of those guys by the end of mini camp. We've got 4 qbs plus buck could still toss as needed. Plus we have a converted QB-WR. Im not worried about touches. I don't get the point, though. Unless milt really is keen on a come back which I also cant imagine.

If memory serves both Buck and Danny Mac were chucking the ball around in camp last year.

I heard that Danny Mac still throws at the U.S. tryouts sometimes. And also helps Buck out with the QBs during camp? Awesome stuff

Knowing Milt and his confidence levels, I'm sure he thinks with a bit of game conditioning he could play but he chooses not to. 🙂

I mean skill wise if he is any where near sharp and not end up in a wheel chair after each game as a naturalized NI he probably could. But weve also rostered a couple wrs over the past 2 years whove not even seen the field.

It's a nice story. Got Milt!

Ya I'm sure it'll make a fun bit on TSN or something. Hard to believe he retired 15 years ago already!

I don't think Milt is thinking that this is some kind of stunt....He wants meaningful reps. ...Gotta give it to him and I'd like to see him take a long bomb to the house courtesy of the newbie Barriere.....Some guys just refuse to get old...lol

No such thing as bad publicity.

True short of Chad Kelly lol. Just doesn’t seem like what we’d do.

Yup like when I volunteered coaching and tried to sell a triple reverse flea flicker to the head coach that would require 38 seconds for the play to materialize. My goal was to make the middle vein of his head throb with frustration. Goal achieved!

Milt's 54. He's doing this as a TSN stunt. Might be fun to watch tho.

100% this on all counts.

Also, I stand by the fact that he'll still be able to play as long as there's no hitting. His hands will be there, his routes will be there, his fitness will be in the top half of the team. His speed won't be the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if he made some rookie DBs look like assholes out there...

Can only imagine the blank stares the budding football players would have as you tired to explain the play.

If he makes any DBs look like assholes out there then I will have concerns about our scouting department. No offense to Milt, but he is 54 and hasn't played in 15 years. Our DBs coming to camp should be the elite just out of the NFL recruits in their low-mid 20's.

This is fair, and you basically stole his quote from Tait's piece..... But he's also the greatest, smartest receiver to ever play the game.

There has never been a better receiver in the history of the CFL and I will never, ever be swayed in that opinion.  Milt was the only thing worth watching through many very lean years for our team.
