Preseason 2 - Ottawa


Jpan85

Recommended Posts

A few surprises that might be explained by an updated injury list.

Louie Richardson, didn't expect to be recovered.

No Travis Bond.

No Veltung.

No Jake Thomas.

No Medlock.

No Alex Vitt, too bad but I doubt he has a chance to make the team with no game showings.  Hopefully he gets a spot on the PR.

3 starters on the D-line staying home, Westerman, Shologan and Cummings.

Excited to get a look at Jace Davis

As good as medlock is, I can't help but wonder if we would've been better off with Castillo and using that money elsewhere. 

I for one am glad we have Medlock.  Too many games blown over the years by crappy kicking.  Good to see this issue finally addressed.

I think I'd still rather have Medlock there just to get a bit more game time with a new holder... no biggie

Excited to see Corney-Butcher-Collins-Green start the game

Expected more import OL on the roster

Castillo has shown "promise" but you don't know if a cheque is good until you take it to the bank- in this case, full-contact games. Castillo might just develop a sudden mysterious injury which will keep him sidelined indefinitely but could heal spontaneously and abruptly.

What i take from this is... There are a few guys that they want to see more  from, some of these guys obviously impressed. Some might have done enough last game to get a spot, Hubbard is a guy that comes to mind as a guy who showed very strong last game, and yeah he's dressing this game but... i'd suspect he sees quite a bit of time to see if he can duplicate what he did last week. Green is another guy they are high on (DE's here obviously).  They are gonna get a bunch of time to show what they can do...

 

Receivers, you look at that group and Davis? Excited to see him play, Fred Williams is another one who showed well last week, Mayo is another guy... those are probably the front  runners to take some jobs with Davis probably being the front runner right now, Willy sure praised him a fair bit the other day. 

 

The OL... obviously Hardrick and Foketi are 2 guys that have stood out to them... they want to see them get more reps.

 

Also, this is our 2nd and if i'm not mistaken, this is Ottawas 1st pre-season game right? 

 

Man, there's lots of time until the season starts, lots of time to make decisions really.

Medlock's holder is Dressler who also isn't playing. Dressler and Medlock work on holding techniques at every practice. I'm sure they will be ok.

It's diagnosed as Polymyofascialitis.

It looks like they've already decided to keep Bond so cutting any of Foketi, Hardrick or Jace Daniels is going to be a tough decision as they've all shown some good stuff.  Aundrey Walker is not traveling to Ottawa so he might be injured or on the cut line.  He was on the depth chart against Mtl. but even at 6"-6" 315 lbs. I don't recall seeing him.

Well that list pretty much explains everything.  Where did you find it?

I made the list myself by going through the roster. As for the status of the players, the Wpg Sun has updates on lots of the guys and for the rest I just checked twitter for confirmation of their injuries.
