  • Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

  • Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

    Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

^^ the new kid, he means...

 

Think it'll come down to the pre season games. It's virtually impossible to unseat a veteran in Osh's Army, but if there's a clear difference between the two......

Osh likes placement and consistency from the punter. He said that in one of the daily pressers.

Qft.  
likely has to be able to out angle sheahan and have the depth control to optimize for shorter punts. 
 From the bit I’ve seen it’d be an easy decision based on the frequent shanks we saw last year. 
 
At the same time, with the incredible talent in Evans leg combined with having just turned 24 and just strived up here, he should at worst be guaranteed a pr spot for a while.

Tait says Schoen a full participant today for the first time. Huzzah.

Apply bubble wrap to him please and thank you.

Give him a body guard so no rookie dbs make a terrible mistake

Yep, those looking for more hang time ain't the boss.

Went to practice this morning. Nothing ground breaking to report. Thought the running back 36, smaller American guy looked solid. Really effective blocker in the one on ones.

Quinton Cooley.

They do want hang time, they don’t thing highly of deep punts. Accuracy and control are foremost. Then hang time. Depth/leg power is pretty much last.

Would be nice to see someone step up if Logan isn't ready.

Real good prospect as a rb, but i don’t think hes the kr/wr super sub guy

To be fair the new guy was imo just as good putting them between the numbers and the sideline as the vet.

I was really looking forward to a change of pace guy to pair off with Brady. But I guess it would be tough to have a DA without them playing that returner role.

got the build of Blo-De Dorzon, but hopefully the talent of Joe Smith

I do agree, it is a real small sample so far though. I look forward to seeing him in pre season. Tbh sheahan looks better when he isn’t being rushed at game speed too. I’m very optimistic, this could be our best global draft yet.

Early on but he’s got a big leg. 

Guy last yr had a better leg last yr too....huge hang time....out punted Punter guy every practice i went to until his eventualrelease....But...Osh just loved the weird guy we kept and thought it was cool...special...good???...who knows but thats all that mattered and we ended up with the worst punter in league due to it

and consistancy and placement we didnt get, and we just kept rying to make it work...Just cause Osg says so...doesnt make it right or true....see Donald Trump

Be nice to have the leg to lick yourself out of danger too tho....and any  coach who dosnt like hangtime combined with placement is...well a fool

hopefully we unearth someone because we all know if logan isnt ready Cody Case will be gifted the job....as returner/extra receiver and he is a big nothing burger and really offers us nothing other than a middling average player

I'm not ready to rule out Case entirely just yet....he showed a couple small flashes, he has what many, many players never get an extended look and opportunity....not anointing him the next great returner, but after a year on and off the roster last year to develop and learn the nuances and an offseason he now has the opportunity to prove he took it all in and has the ability and mindset to show he grew and improved and can do the job....many guys never get that shot, he is one of the lucky few, maybe he takes this opportunity and shines.....

One can hope I guess...Just dont see it in him...cant learn and automatically come up with explosion and ability ....with all the players out there....pretty sure we could find 10 guys with a better skillset than Case...and as a reciever...we already have enough Smurf types...Settling again....see no point to it...But if he rips off some big returns in pre-season....takes one to the house....or appears to be a threat to in more of his returns, than not....and shows ability to break away from the pack or out run coverage...will change my opinion, but he showed none of that last yr...tbd I guess

I want a guy returning who is a threat to rip off a big return or long TD every play. We didn't have that last year and If Logan is out, not sure we have that again.

Nobody looked good in the return dept. last year ...We need to stop screwing around with the returner position...Why the hell we ever parted ways with Grant still boggles my mind....Whitehead showed **** all last year and there was literally nobody behind him...Preseason better show we've turned up a decent prospect OR Case shows he belongs...Tired of watching a  guy field a punt and literally fall down...disheartening to say the least ...We can't give up field position continually and be successful.....Here's hopin we 'find' OR have found the guy

You have to have a returner that occasionally flips the field for you. PRing for an average 7.3 ypr is all nice and fine but I'll take 6 returns of 0 with a 7th of 50 yards over 7 of 7.3.

Yup. Not re-signing Grant was a rare blunder on Walters' part.

The Stamps had 3 new kick returners in the game yesterday who looked deadly dangerous, Horton, Vaughn and Choquette, all small stature speedsters who might not make it as receivers, but they could make their mark in the CFL as returners if nothing else. They can't keep them all, grab one upon release and stash him on the PR to backup Logan who is frequently enough injured.
