Any thoughts?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Woods. Other then that one great catch, the guy was useless. Could barely return balls. kept missing assignments. And no offence but way too short to be in that position as receiver as the defenders tower over him. The boy needs to go.

 

 

 

I simply find it hilarious how quickly people pile on players who have looked rock solid up to a preseason game and then boom they must be trash..

Banks, suber, pencer, January (dafuq?) and wild are all going nowhere unless they fawk up something serious in Calgary.. You guys DO realize we are working into a new offence, a new defence and a new HC coupled with crazy rotations all game long, right?

Smh.

Pencer has looked rock solid thus far in his career?

I thought this camp and his limited time last season all looked like they were progressions in where he was before.. Not leaps and bounds but not a wasted endeavour yet..

 

Swiston looks like he'll be on the 9 game IR as soon as the Bombers are allowed to put him on it, so Pencer isn't going anywhere in the short term.  Not unless Quinn Everett looks absolutely amazing.  Eight NI Olinemen on a CFL roster is pretty much the minimum.  Some teams carry ten.

 

He won't put together a 12 year career based on potential though.

 

It's lookin' like he's got another 12 months left.

Totally disagree...the guy was very good last year until he got injured. He catches virtually everything thrown at him coming out of the backfield and gets to his spots quickly. Yeah cut him based on one exhibition game where the special teams blockers are not in mid season form..that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, what are you talking about Duchkal?  Woods is a great returner.  Everyone here praises him.

Guess they're not too worried about the numbers.

I definitely was not a fan of woods in the preseason game; I'm interested in seeing him in the next matchup if he is still underperforming I think he's another player we should get rid of and replace with someone with more possible potential; this year I'm about potential I don't expect the win I want some players who over the season can learn to play together so that next year we have a better chance of succeeding; that starts with removing the players who have peaked and are still not good enough.

And how did you manage to assume he has peaked? And how do you know what his real potential is?

wood is versatile, can essentially line up at sb, rb, wr.. can return kicks, punts.. his versatility should keep him around for a bit.

A bit surprised that we haven't looked at a first team DB as our PR...  Garvin is not going to last, Washington seems to have fumbled his way out of that job...  maybe Unamba or Leggett...?

Id suspect.. cotton woods, garvin all still have chances to be the return man this season. 

I'd say Garvin showed the most as a returner in the game. Interested to see how he does in the second game.

yeah, the stats are surprising actually.

 

kick returns

 

cotton had 2 for 39, longest was 20

woods had 2 for 44. longest was 23

garvin had just 1 for 24

 

punt returns

 

woods had 3 for 18, 10 was the longest

cotton 2 for 36, 34 was longest

tarver 1 for 8

garvin 1 for 18

 

again... garvin, cotton, woods

I think we're going to have a solid return Game this year. But if it comes down to those three for a DI spot, I sure hope its Cotton... He adds the most value overall IMO

With the extra DI spot available to us this year, we could keep a guy solely for his return skills, especially if we use NI kickers.  Talent at his position could be nothing more than an afterthought.

I'm interested to see who will be the other teams cuts this weekend... especially NI's. Although some teams will probably hide their decent surplus NI's in the IR instead of outright releasing them. 

 

 

Any scoops who are rumored to fall from the other CFL trees ?
