Two-time Grey Cup champion Rasheed Bailey officially retires from CFL - 3DownNation

There's that awesome career highlight diving freeze-frame TD that he scored against the Riders .... but this is the play when I first really noticed him.

Love how Howsare just pulls up and prepares to be hit when he sees Sheed coming across the formation. 88 got the key block on the first TD in Grey Cup 2019 and the rout was on.

(youtube clips are awesome but I wish they previewed)

We already saw it last year. When BO went down we went with Peterson initially but the change was made to IMP RB shortly after.

Due, no doubt, to the genius of our OC.

I thought Peterson played well when he was put in.

Yes and the American did not. Can’t remember his name. We all thought he was the stud in pre season but didn’t do much with his opportunity honestly

thats a big kid there

Cooley was the guy and he fumbled his way off the roster

You dont stick around the NFL at 5 foot 5 as a running back unless you got talent. Hopefully he comes motivated.

He can run under the legs of the guys in the trenches.

Then he was taken out rather than allowed to find his footing as a running back. Injuries are times when young players can gain valuable experience & he was just pulled.

Nice to see we've added a NT. As others have mentioned, been a need for awhile.

We've been lacking a true NT for a while. Not sure if this is our guy but it's a start.

I think @Mike mentioned it but the size of these DL they adding and signing is interesting. This dude is kinda short at 6 1 but 300 pounds. Lots of the others are 6 4 6 5. 6 7. Ya. 6 7.
