You do not have to look in the ranks of athletes for people who are damaged (in childhood mostly) and are the walking wounded among us. One statistic that I saw was that unresolved emotional trauma is responsible for 80-90% of illnesses in pretty much every population group. I have seen many such in my practice.
I would love to see Augustine catch on with the Bombers. He has all the right tools, but sometimes even that isn't enough. You have to be in the right place at the right time and have a horseshoe up your butt.
Some time back, our head coach was asking about the poor performance and early release of a "star" prospect. The coach replied that he thought the player only came to camp to get away from his mother for a few days. Maybe the same here.
It occurs to me that if Bryan Bennet could not beat out any of those sad-sack QBs that played against the Esks, what hope is there for him here? Unless....somehow...the Great and Wise Chris Jones has misjudged him. (Gasp) Heresy--heresy!!!
Since Leggett said last year that he was so taken by the different culture here, he brought his family up, he may well remain even if cut by the Bombers. He might be a good backup in case of emergency.
I would call that a 50-50 chance right now. I feel bad for Lankford, as in an interview I heard last year about this time, he came across as humble, thoughtful and grateful for the chance to play a sport he loves. That aside, his skillset is just not good enough.
