I'd consider mayo over Denmark but depending on Harris and the ratio.... perhaps JFG gets a start cuz I'd imagine if Harris can't go... Flanders will.

I get that Sheppard does well at other aspects of the game but man I can't understand why he plays and Mayo doesn't. Is the primary job of a receiver not to get open and catch the ball? Seems to me that Mayo is better at that then Sheppard.

I thought it was because of his special teams play?

He's a good blocker - better fit for Lapos dink & dunk gameplan

I suppose the logical answer is that his receiving skills aren't enough of an upgrade on Sheppard to make up for Sheppard's advantage in blocking and st's play.

this, and hes a big body whose good at blocking and doing the little things. Some thing we dont have much of at wr. Id like denmark to be on the roster but i guess its a good problem to have.

Maybe the Blue can trade a 5th round pick and get Nik Lewis from Montreal?  Big physical presence and veteran "leadership".

Sounds doable. Lewis is probably tired of Carter's hissy-fits and he could be valuable for the next couple of months.

would love to add lewis. I think he'd fit great with what we do on offense too. But id be some kind of shocked if any other deals of any level happen.

From the "In Case You Missed It" thread:

Quote

" Herb Zurkowsky Montreal Gazette
-Nik Lewis understood change was in the air. He just didn’t think it would be Kevin Glenn, the Alouettes’ starting quarterback.
“It’s the wrong change. I’ve told them what I thought about the change,” a defiant Lewis said following Wednesday’s practice at Stade Hébert. “I don’t like it, but they pay me to play, and that’s what I’m going to do. They don’t pay me to like things.”

Lawless tweeted out something today about how the Als might be having a fire sale right away. They're going to be cutting ties with expensive vets and using their younger, cheaper players to both get an idea what they have and also to shed some salary...

If we could get Lewis for a Grey Cup push that would be tremendous. A huge possession receiver who could possibly argue with that?

I have little doubt that someone will step up.

I know he's a ****** but I'd take carter over Lewis any day at this point.  

No. A big tank like Lewis would be a big help. We've got speed guys, but he's half RB and is great on screens etc. We don't need Carter.
