Floyd Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Derek Jones getting reps with first team this week, would love to see him out there... Thought he was a huge later round steal. Was he playing corner last game? I don't recall seeing him much (which is good for a DB...), was watching the DL/LB most of the time... If he starts, any chance bombers run five import REC with Mayo? Other practice updates from TEP (gbill) Adams, Hurl, Corney, Johnson, Thomas injured Bass and Briggs not practicing McDuffie knicked too - Macho/Leggett returning - not a fan of using DBs, will need all their energy against EDM Edited July 10, 2016 by Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Jones was Walters pick in his first draft as gm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Interesting. Hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I wonder if we'll see Dressler do some returning? IIRC he was pretty good when he returned kicks as a Rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Didn't Jones go in for awhile when they pulled Hawkins? I'm not sure if Hawkins was injured or pulled due to poor play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hawkins looked lost... I assume he was benched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Loffler got some reps back there too -- he was blitzing on the Leggett pick six and looks like he hurried the throw a bit. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Well he can't be any worse than Hawkins, and if the halfback is gonna suck regardless(not saying Jones will but if)I'd rather have a crappy Canadian than a crappy import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Sure would be nice if both Adams and Johnson returned this week for the Esks, reducing the rookies to one. If I had to chose one of the 4 options for the HB spot I would go with Posey at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 If we go with Jones, will we go with 5 import receivers or will MOS go with 8 NI starting ( 3 OL, 3 D, WR, RB)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Back to an all import secondary... Randle-Fogg-Harris-Posey-CJ Roberts So weird how DB seems to have gone from a position of strength to a big question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that too many had complete faith in the secondary- too many newbies for that. But, yes, the situation is a bit scary right now with more than one very good receivers in the Esks' lineup.

Mr Dee Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sigh.....Mike Reilly, Derek Walker, Adarius Bowman, Coehoorn, Getzlaf and Watson. And we have new Corner (CJ Roberts) playing, with a switch at halfback as Posey moves to field and Fogg goes to boundary. Sigh. And John White running like a man possessed. Sigh. Doesn't scare me at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle-Fogg-Harris-Posey-CJ Roberts So weird how DB seems to have gone from a position of strength to a big question mark. It`s tough to gauge the true ability of the unit until Johnny Adams is back and Bruce Johnson is healthy. Johnson had a rough first two weeks so we need to see if he can bounce back or if he continues to be the weak link in the secondary. I don`t mind having a Randle-Johnson-Harris-Posey-Adams secondary to see what we really have there. Like you and others have said, the typical cushion/bend don`t break Richie Hall defense also can factor into the perception of how our secondary is playing. However, if BJ continues to struggle and Adams takes a few weeks to get caught up we could be in real trouble. (Unless CJ Roberts is a diamond in the rough) Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
