Corcoran is not a starting rec in the CFL....yet. hes a decent back up/emergency rec. There's just no justifying him starting if we have 5 other Cdns on O.

Preseason doesn't count, when the real bullets are flying hes been a liability. too slow , taking penalties, and hasn't shown good hands  3 strikes and ...

He’s a rookie we drafted this past year. 2025 draft. That would be silly since he’s not an Alford type talent. Dude prob needs development time. I mean. He does. So him having to play is on our poor depth. Corcoran looked solid in pre season, he should be getting part time reps, but shouldn’t be asked to start.  That’s crazy talk. He’s like Shay and smith on D, should be getting rotational reps. Should be. Maybe old Joey is a reminder that rookies do actually need time to develop and shouldn’t always be thrown to the wolves. But old Joey definitely a reminder that message boards are insane cuz lots of us complain about lack of reps for the rookies then we complain when 1 of them does get reps so really… does any of this matter lol.

We need bodies, the fact Sterns abd Demski are at least dressed while watching practice is some type of hope...

Sterns is out for sure this week O’Shea said. Not for sure any longer. Demski he was being coy about, I think Osh expects him to play.

Schoen is a mega needed boost too

[Goalie]

A healthy Schoen would be a game changer. I don’t think he’s fully healthy.

Shay and Smith were high draft picks with better pedigrees and measurables. Corcoran is a late round flyer, with a so so pedigree and fairly poor measurables for a receiver (4.8 40 time and a 27 inch vertical, for example).

yeah nothing about him screams successful long career....not sure the allure there to be honest for that pick,,,,havnt looked at draft results but I sure there was something more useful at that point in draft, tho in those rounds generally most are just a hope and dream pick and many never amount to spit

It'll be interesting to see both teams injury reports today.

He looks like he's on the Nik Lewis diet plan without the willingness to be a possession receiver.

Need to put this description on his football card.

Lauther out for personal reasons ... while there's another kicker in camp looking to take his job.  Hmm.  

No mention of Harris there either.

I think someone on Riderfans mentioned that Lauthers wife is imminently expecting. Maybe something to do with that

Personal reasons = removing a truckload of manure from his driveway.

well, best wishes for a smooth birth and a healthy baby and mom who can be a consolation to Lauther when he shits the bed in the LDC.

got his bell rung and showed signs on th field of beig in lala land right after

Then hurt his ankle/foot after they put him back in...I hope they play him...be a sitting duck and one good smack aay from being the lame QB he pretty much has been his whole career....and for them to have to rely on Lousy Lauther for filed goals ....well good luck there
