blue_gold_84 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Well, fook. That's some shitty ass news. Here's hoping he's good to go for the playoffs. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Well we have 3 games now to integrate and go with the unknown's in Given's, White and Brown...no need to hamstring the offence with the Coates'.. and Lankfords who scare nobody and open up nothing for others on offence. Veteran NFL guys with significant reps can surely be coached up to be useful in our offence by now and have a lot more to offer than what others have...both are Givens and White are lightning quick and can bust things open in an instant...not too sure about Brown and could catch teams off guard with no film on them and what they can be successful at moving forward. If we have a Healthy Dressler , Denmark and JFG in their usual spots, we gotta at least try a game or two with Givens and either White or Brown filling in for Adams and Flanders and have Coates and Washington as the subs...at the very least it would eliminate teams focusing on Harris and taking him out of the gameplan rebusrankin, Stickem, Bigblue204 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap. Walters and O'Shea better have a good replacement for Adams in the bullpen. With Adams in the lineup, and with Denmark fading away, we were barely good enough. Now we're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Worst part is we have no one that really profiles to play that boundary WR spot at anywhere near Adams level. Washington is softer than a melted stick of butter. I wouldn’t mind seeing Wolitarsky taking some reps at boundary WR. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 What we hope to see: more Wolitarsky and some Givens and Brown. What we expect to see: More Lankford and Washington dishing out mediocrity. shadybob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABomberfan Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'll look at it this way ... so long as Edmonton loses just one more and we get that WSF homefield .... if he can get back in time for that I'll say all will be well again.

JuranBoldenRules Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Here’s a guy we should have on our neglist. Saw him play once each the last two seasons...total beast.

There’s no doubt about that, but are we optimistic that he’s ready to go in a month? Sounds like wishful thinking. aalgernon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was fat with that build he'd be playin TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal optimist Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I am optimistically donning my tinfoil hat that this is all part of O'Shea's cloak-and-dagger tactics and that Leggett, Adams and Westerman will all return for the Grey Cup run. Seriously though as long as he's back for the WSF I think we'll be alright... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like wishful thinking. Sadly, I think that is wishful thinking. He's probably done for the year, and we'll have to find a way to make do without him. shadybob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgallday1960 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I read this morning that Chris Givens was taking ( or is it given) some first team reps so maybe we will see him over Lankford or Washington.

Brandon Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Givens would be the guy who *should* replace Denmark/Dressler in the future... smaller guy with great speed. This team needs a taller deep threat... we currently do not have anyone on the roster who can do this. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he's a 'smaller' guy, he's 6-0 and 203, but I get what you're saying. shadybob and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like he hasn't figured out the CFL yet, where the spaces are and the timing of it all. His decisions don't always make sense. He hasn't played many games yet, so I still allow for the possibility that he can find his groove. Right now, it seems like he has a job by default. He has to earn it outright, and his chance won't last forever. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it takes some time to adjust but hes had time here and a cup of coffee in EDM. I like his intangibles but hes gotta put it together and show that he can bring more to the table in the next few weeks or onto the next one.
