Yeah we have a few new guys that could really use the reps. If he's been with the 1s all week I'm sure he will start. Especially with woli out. Because of that I'm sure adams would go if at all humanly possible. Adams and woli are next level blockers. We have been using trips and big sets more under buck than with plop. If woli is out Adams can be the wr who seals the edge like he normally does. If both are out that'd be rough.

Thatd be brutal. It'd be nice to see Stewart and agudosi in at some point. Hope woli is healthy soon.

It is odd. Their offense was all time bad. I'm waiting for a Brian Bennett Air lift.

Darvin is a perfect no2 wr in this era. And right now that's what he is with Lawler being the man. The big difference between Darvin and a lot of guys is he doesn't drop a lot of passes and is one of the best blocking wrs in the league. Other wise he'd be like Chris brazzell or the none elite years of bowman. He disappears at times but it's not like he has 2 3 4 bad drops in a game. And he never lets up. With Lawler being the go to adams can be our homerun hitter. Lawler adams woli and demski is as good a 4 man crew as it gets.

I swear to God if we see another Ricky ray esq bs trade of Reilly to tor I'm gonna die. That team with an elite qb would be scary. Part of me fears unknown back up qbs. Glad he isn't cutting his teeth on us. Another part of me worries that cal might still have some front office magic. But man I hope they are a dumpster fire this year.

I honestly think the next 2 closest MOP candidates were willy and medlock. Brady is a stud. You could ask for much more from a ni rb prospect. If he had top end speed he'd be on an NFL active roster. But Harris in the run pass game is some thing else. And he's about as powerful as you see a guy who can score from 50 yards out. Nelson has actually struggled more on ko returns. 20 yards is replacement level. He's been catching it near his goal line too which should give him extra yards. If he doesn't get it going vs regular ko legs the yards will drop off even more. Yeah I loved jj but in general I don't like db return men. He was stokes esq in that he only looked to break big ones. A great return man has to have balance. If it wasn't for the no yards we would have been in a big st yardage hole. I'm also not sold in legghio as a kick off guy. Maybe he's trying to kick it to coverage but the 15 is about as deep as he gets it. If we had medlock or similar elite kicker ko guy we put up 30 in each of the games this year.

You got that bit right. Nelson is just tentative. A North South guy gets the ball and goes straight down field. Nelson dances but Keith stokes like like a South guy lol. He ran backwards as soon as he caught the ball. Marvin Coleman in the end stages of his career is the quintessential north south saftey returner. He wasn't a td threat any more but he caught every thing in the air and ran straight down field. Security Is always tops. But a close 2nd for me is catching every ball in the air possible. 15 yard no yards is huge to tack on. 100 percent. 19 was actually really good for him for ball security but he still dropped it a couple times. The thing about dangerous return men in the cfl is you have to kick differently to them. A guy like Nelson you can kick the snot out of the ball right down the middle and cover to spots. A guy like Grant you have to kick to a side line and with in your coverage. When you see Nelson at maybe 10 yards per return and grant at say 15 it's not just a 5 yard difference. The way teams kick to a Grant makes it more of a 20 yard difference. Plus the danger of a big return. It also shortens the other teams fg range.

He isn't really a North South guy though. Not this year. This. I had high hopes for him but he's been soo indecisive and un effective. With Grant out the loss of lucky stings twice as much.

11 sacks yes but good no. Probably set a record for off sides and rtp that year. He wasn't terrible no. But he wasn't good either. Just gambling for sacks and playing on a bad d.

Edwards was apart of the last monster wr core we had with Armstrong and milt. If any thing he had better wrs around him. He was also here when Fred Reid was destroying the league. Te was an elite wr in the cfl for years. Maybe the whole league in 2010. Darvin has been a fringe Allstar twice. Tes first year here is still better than Darvins best too.

Hasn't been the been good since 14. Most people are surprised he didn't retire years ago lol.

Thatd be huge. Hope they leave Lawler and move woli to sb. Yeah I like Darvin but I don't see the comparison. 7 years 5 1k plus seasons. Darvin 5 years 2 years over 1k. With just over 1k and 1100.

Because he was flat footed after catching the ball. I rewatched today and he was constantly tentative with the ball. When he had blocks he wasn't decisive and that led to blockers running out of time. Idk he was flat and shaking left and right constantly. He ran up the middle mostly save for the one he broke. But even including the 30 ish yard big return he's been sub average.

Wasn't today his first day back full time

Adams worked a full practice with the offense. Which is a great sign. I suspect he may rotate in place of knight. Not full starter reps I think they'll ease him into it. He's missed a lot of reps and conditioning. Getting Darvin back and moving him into wolis wide out spot and moving woli to sb would be huge. Harris took offensive reps for the first time in weeks today. Yesterday he took 1 on 1 reps. Harris I think would be a ld or bjb return If all goes well.

With Grant on the 6 game I hope we look at another return man. Maybe activate devonte Williams. Nelson has had 1 good return but we've faced some big legs but Nelson is under 20yards per ko return. And a shade over 10 on punts.

Could be atrophy in his throwing arm. He may have recovered really late and never gotten his arm in shape. I don't see him over coming that in two weeks though.

I think the big question is what are they gonna do for a venue to play at.

I'd have to over bc and ham over cal.

He's had some block and release stuff but yeah not much for looks. When collaros scrambles or is pressured he looks to beat the d down field. He doesn't look for the short release valve. In the past that was our go to read. For sure. Brady as a lead blocker could do some damage. The misdirection and ability to stretch the defence out laterally could open a whole lot in the seams and down field.

Yeah Brady has to develop as a pass catcher. But he is excellent as a blocker. Still some decision making improvements to be made but he's a beast blocking.

He did. But that is a huge difference. I believe that it's for sale for sure. Maybe flutie gives up on that usfl thing and buys it. There's some big construction and oil guys with connections that aren't in cal any more that could be a candidate.

I don't believe the cfl would let a guy buy a team while also holding interest in a competing league. If he exits the xfl I can see it other wise I can't.

That plus the chippiness and lack of discipline. But they've gone from 1 year away from being 1 year away to being 1 year away.

Pressure is the primary way to counter qbing. You don't just out qb the pressure every time. No matter what qb. Good qbing can allow you to stand in against the rush and put up a pass if you have a quick release but if you don't have time to pin point a deep ball that isn't just gonna change. Mbts release was much slower than Masoli whose among the fastest at getting it out of his hand.
