- Khalil Bass 4th in the league in tackles (29), stepping into his new role with the Bombers nicely. Like him. Also ... what happened to him last night? He was out for awhile.
- Johnny (dangerous) Adams. Leads the league in int. and is right up there in tackles as well. Early outstanding rookie candidate.
- Darvin Adams, coming into his own in the last 3 weeks. Love his break away speed and elusiveness after the catch

- Cam Marshall, power and speed, great find.
Honourable mention: Justin Veltung, love what this guy can bring on both teams and as a receiver!

Bleacher report Steelers training camp, bit of good news for Ian Wild and his fans…

 

"We got a taste of an improved run defense during team drills on Thursday when the defense continually got the best of the offense. It was particularly encouraging considering a significant number of plays were run out of the nickel—an area in which the defense struggled last season.

The defensive coordinator got contributions from all levels of his defense. Shamarko Thomas and Ian Wild both stepped up to make tackles behind the line from the safety position, while AnthonyChickillo got around the edge on two occasions."

Boo on that from our interest but good on Ian. Big paydays likely coming for him.

 

 

 

I wasn't sure about Veltung but man he looks good. I agree with JBR, would rather see him on the roster than Stoudermire if it comes to that. Heck, I'd also like to see Denmark/Adams/Moore/Veltung all starting at receiver.

For sure. I was in favor of putting Veltung on the roster after Stouds disastrous debut in Calgary.

I think shamarko is one of their big signings, so Ian Wild being mentioned at the same time sounds good for Ian.
