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.

The thing the guys in the booth missed on those over throws was the pressure from our dl. Masoli did the same.

Brutal. They might be a player in the market if some former cfl guys shake loose in NFL tc this year. I'm curious as to how we will look into that market too. A high tier kicker would be huge for us. Would we make a move for a guy like Duke or zylstra? Would we bring back rose?

Corney played 37 games here lmao. He was really rounding into a good player till he got hurt in his 3rd year. I wouldn't be surprised if Meredith gets called back when he'd healthy later in the year. For now I think we are very high on agudosi stewart and McKnight. I can't wait to see the other two. But the wr core is probably gonna get tighter soon.

The option of having both on the field gives us much more than our back up ni wr too. Can't wait for Harris to be healthy. Adams would be huge to have back. I also hope stove and Darby are healthy soon. Us grabbing an imp lber makes it seem like both wils will be out a while.

His ol also had 230 to 250lbs guys. Different eras don't work to compare. Every state champion team for the past 20 years had decent size play books. Execution is important. But in the modern era you have a very hard time beating people with checkers strategy when they are using tri level chess moves.

Glad fmb is getting another chance. We beat 2 top half teams. We knocked the cats down several pegs that's better than beating a top team. Idk how people see the carcass that went to ssk as the same group that we beat. They went from super confident about to avenge the Grey Cup unbeatable monster super team to tame ole puddy tats. We didn't just beat them We broke them.
