It sure looks like Richards is not going onto the starting team anytime soon, and JFG is languishing, so perhaps a trade for Demski is not out of the question. There were those who said that the signing of Andrew Harris was no big deal, but he has been nothing short of great so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of depends what the expectations are and what kind of role he's given IMO. I think as a receiver he tops out as a Anthony Parker type. Useful but just a touch above average. He's not a guy who is going to be able to get open in a bunch of different ways, he's just not that much of a technician. Demski became a "receiver" because the Bisons had 3 guys who were CFL quality players at tailback and they just needed to have him on the field all the time. He was so physically dominant at that level that he barely had to learn the position, he could run by and through everyone. He's the kind of guy you need to find ways to get the ball. He can play a huge role but it has to be crafted for him, he's not a conventional receiver. I'd use him as a guy who is more of an H-Back type, but with some carries too. He can block, he can play football, he'll be useful on special teams. Noeller, Bigblue204, wpgallday1960 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with the right coaching and proper usage I think he can fulfill his potential. I hope that is with the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would love to see players have to play in their home province, we have plenty of good ones coming out of Sask. Damm Quebec with all those good lineman however would be tough to deal with.

Maybe a bit on KR and PR, but not at receiving. Nic sometimes isn't sticking his nose in there to take a big hit to catch the ball. The dancing around is indecision IMO, the game is moving too fast for him. Not sure coaching straightens that out or not.

I don't think people are questioning signing him (if that's a possibility)... it's a matter of do we want to pay big NI money for him?... the answer is probably not... I'm not sure what an average NI player makes these days ($100k-ish?) but I think most people would be happy with that... 1 hour ago, Ripper said: If he's talking about Zack Evans he is from God's country.

From what I can remember Demski as a rookie was a decent player last year. He has regressed and i wonder if Jones has any time to coach a national that's not his choice. Mind you Chambers was his choice. Whatever Demski is doing, it beats Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I always thought a player like Demski you want closer to the ball not out at WR. Bigblue204 and MOBomberFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
