I mean mid game but yeah theres that too.

Yeah if harris goes down at all we are up creek with out a paddle.

pretty much. Not to mention his first play time in the cfl also. usually a guy like that is groomed a year before you expect much. Which leads me to believe he might be problematic.

punted twice in the last preseason game. and some in TC. he also punted against TO last year. 8 times for 43.5 yard average.

They said in camp a couple times they would keep an extra QB. Last year given how far down the depth chart ended up starting its only smart imop.

the site currently has him listed as just a punter. I imagine they are going to keep him for insurance / punting till some one gets desperate to pay for him. Cant wait to see how the depth chart shapes up. Montreal cutting boyd. Im surprised with his talent and resume he is just gone. with how fast we got rid of him i wonder if he has a bad attitude.

flanders isnt a returner.

Glad we are keeping mayo around thats for sure. Isnt richardson injured?

true of the whole team. Another repeat of what we've seen the last couple years and the teams gonna get blown up top to bottom.

Not great certainly. I still would say he was better then our imp ol aside from bryant and bond. How many more cuts yet to come?

jace daniels? really? thats a big shock to me. Though I think bond is better i find that very surprising. perhaps the PR? Im not too surprised about veltung. He's shown some flashes here and there but far few and far between. No sergio either. No anderson is almost as big a surprise as jace.

With the depth of our young NI's i doubt we start 8 ni. We have flexibility is the quality of our depth.

broke his hand in the first pre season game out 6 weeks.

hurl isnt cracking our starting lber core.

id say more terry ray but yeah. I hope it doesnt last the whole season.

I wonder what if any thing we might be looking for from the scrap heap of other teams. NI ol maybe? Perhaps a wr for the PR to push some guys we have.

This year will be remember for a few really good cards and tilts. Especially up sets. Luckily it wont be remember for some of the the worst fights/decisions in history. This year there have been some awful awful decisions and fights. Just 1919 black sox level of bad.

By that definition sure. But thats not a pocket passer. Thats a mobile qb/ scrambler. But then drop back isnt really right either, as virtually all cfl teams run the massive amount of plays out of the gun/half gun formation and not under centre. Which is where you drop back from. A pocket passer plays inside the tackle box, steps up in the pocket or moves the pocket in response to pressure. A mobile qb who will break a run, roll out, plays mostly in gun formations, and doesnt require the added blocking schemes. Its also harder to distinguish in this era of the cfl as the majority of qbs sport the same skills currently. No ones starting a qb whose a threat to run for 1k in the season or running for negative yards over the course of the year. Pocket passer is really more of an american term now. Like the Lber/db sub terms we use here. The us doesnt use boundary or field corners, etc.

maybe you should re-read lol

how well has trump done in polls so far? Some times a majority means all the fools are on the same side. Go and watch real pure pocket passers like ive listed play then go watch glenn early-mid ac etc play and come back saying they are pure pocket passers. With the nature of how the cfl uses spread offense and the gun with lop sided pass pro and few rbs who pass block the days of this type of pass may be done for good. When FBs and 2 back sets and TEs were common with established pockets it was different. And is different in the US.

He showed great push up the middle and exceptional burst despite his weight. Hes raw, very raw. But he's got a very high level of physical tool set thats very desirable especially in a ni. They have to have some processing time some one could nab him. But its one of those un written football things. I dont think there is a risk of some one grabbing him and him decided to go to a PR and not back to school.

Your letting the final days of calvillo and glenn skew your view of them. Calvillo turned into a guy who stepped up into the pocket glenn is old but is still a guy who'd roll at the sight of pressure rather then step up. There isnt really any more in the cfl. Go watch some danny mac then glenn maybe that will help you see the difference. He would move to avoid the rush and roll a bit but wasnt much of a runner and turned into more of one as much as there is any more in the cfl. he wasnt danny mac levels of un mobile as people might believe but he is certainly the quintessential nfl pocket passer. Never a guy who failed to step up into the pocket when pressured. Not a guy to throw on the run etc. But the nfl pocket passer is different then the cfl as the pocket isnt the same when your under the center 90% of the time vs in the gun 90% of the time.

I am sure we will nl butcher. For a late pick he really shined in camp. cant wait to see him next year. I was kind of thinking he might be pr/teams guy this year too. But im not dissapointed to see him playing another year in the cis itll make him a lot better then teams/pr.

Those two are extreme cases of pocket passers, but a guy like nichols is even much more of a pure pocket passer. Glenn ac and ray all played with some designed qb run plays, and especially glenn has lived on the roll out. They are scramble to pass qbs. Guys who buy time with there feet. Which isnt what a pure pocket passer does. They stand in the pocket even while it collapses they just step up. This is by far the most popular type of qb in the cfl in this era, and the most widely sought after. With the size of the field you can easily run for a first down with a hook slide on a broken play as a mobile qb. But thats not a pocket passer. Idk that young qbs run more then old. Id say if any thing older qbs scramble for firsts selectively more then young qbs. Qbs who lack deep wr cores or a good OL tend to run more. Pocket qb isnt some thing that really applies to the cfl any more. There just arent really any. Mobile/scramble qbs is the order of the day. Willy is really not a guy whose well off throwing on the run at all. Un like glenn ac ray etc. He can scramble but if he tries to throw on the run hold your breathe.

AC and glenn cut their teeth as guys who could make things happen on the run. RR doesnt have that reputation but thats because his peak years in edm he had some pretty deep wr cores. Kinda like ac later in montreal. Or damon allen. Not to mention age catching up. Guys like danny mac, and kerwin bell were pure pocket passers.
