- Fogg present but not practising, (track suit but no walking boot)
- M. Harris present but not practising (track suit)
- Knox, Burnett and McDuffie all taking ST's reps..they're potentially DI's (other than Medlock)

what happened to Gurley??? sorry for my spelling. This that would be a major upgrade to Smith???

I only observed him getting work with the 2nd team unit...no reps with the 1st team...

At this point they both seem equally inept. Only reason I'd say its an upgrade is size.  Smith has been fn brutal on the long ball this year.  Other then his one bizarre TD catch (like a 5-10 yard pass) has he really caught anything over 15 yards?

Smith ain't dropping them, Nichols ain't hitting him.

Glad we are getting pretty healthy for the play offs. Hope fogg will be ready to return and back up DB. Thanks for the report.

I'm very happy to see Feoli-Gudino in place of Rory.  Rory has not been good enough this year.

None of our NI wrs have been good enough this year. Nor have we used them well.

I dont think its an upgrade. More of a side grade.. A guy who hasnt fit in or been well used here for a guy who hasnt been good here at all. Id make the switch for the variety in gurleys tool set. Gurley in TO was certainly better then smith here. Smith last year vs gurley in TO last year / this year IDK. My expectations for either this year are low.

Last couple of games we have been throwing the ball to Adams far too often IMO. Must spread it around. Glad to hear that Wild is back. It's too bad about Kohlert but what can you do, he is paid to catch the ball, and he's not. Kohlert has been money over the past few seasons, and hopefully he can rekindle that....

I wonder if the lack of performance is a result of not being thrown the ball enough. I know there are what 4 or 5 potential receivers but why is it that the other teams can distribute the ball whereas the bombers seem to focus on 1 receiver a game. One game it is Dressler, the next maybe Adams, then it is Denmarks turn (however that was long ago and again a forgot plug in this offense) and then to Harris. Seems to me if you design an offense with diversity not only with the run and pass but also with different receivers, it keeps the defense on their toes so they cannot focus on only one receiver. Case in point, what 3 or 4 1000 yard receivers for the second year in Ottawa, what about BC and Calgary as well. Just saying we don't throw the ball deep or intermediate and we seem to focus on one receiver at a time. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm sure stats will prove that but from a layman's eye it sure looks that way.
