Would love to see what he's capable of in the CFL. smaller quicker back, doesn't have great break away speed and I'm not sure on his catching ability. But I don't think he's going to be in the NFL much longer honestly.

Great hands, excellent concentration in traffic and FAST! Hope he has his head screwed on properly.

He was just released by the Raiders so he'll probably be looking to catch on with another NFL team before he looks to come north (if at all).

Also really effective on jet sweep and motion hand offs on general.

@DTonOB Can you please share the snaps for the last game at DL, and shay/smith to date on D, please? Looked to me like our best use of rotation on the DL in a long time.

Key'shawn Smith, WR from SMU.

The account was having issues and reposted it like 30 times so I guess my repost was deleted in the clean-up.

Here's what I have:

Vs Toronto (63 defensive snaps)
Jefferson 58
Vaughters 54
Thomas 35
Lawson 34
Adams 26
Person 25
Kornelson 6

16 snaps with Vaughters as a stand-up player rushing from the interior. 20 snaps of him, Jefferson and Person on at the same time.

Season to date (6 games)
Vaughters 290
Jefferson 281
Lawson 205
Thomas 198
Adams 1768
Kornelson 45
Person 29

Still zero D snaps for both rookies.

Thanks! Yeah I thought they were still at 0.

Frustrating that Shay and Smith are at 0 defensive snaps. Person getting 25 last game is encouraging. That's actually using a DI.

Yep, and Thomas/Lawson/Adams being much closer than usual is a big win. I mean, we saw instant dividends from that as well, with the most pressure we've seen in a long while. I'd like to see Adams get some more snaps at DE, and the wj/vaughters numbers come back down a bit more still. And Thomas go to the lowest of the 3 dts. But that is good progress.

JY made adjustments. Pulling bridges, using the DI end, rotating the DL, even the Lber blitz useage is much better than we used to do. Once the Secondary has a couple of changes and adjustments, the D should be really good.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have brought back American defensive back Dexter Lawson Jr.

Not too surprising, he was the most game-ready of the cuts. I hope he doesn't jump over allen or woodbey on the depth chart.

Let's hope Younger keeps it up & isn't overruled by Osh.
