Doublezero Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 I thought so too. But depth charts for the Als last season show K. Stafford and Nik Lewis platooned, with both lining up at at that same SB/DI spot. Pretty sure Stafford was a flanker with Esks though, IIRC.
wbbfan Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 I really look forward to seeing a good amount of time for the battle at qb2, the 2nd string ol (couple years ago that could have been our starting OL quality wise) hope fully lots of touches for the RBs, (would love to see normand get 5+ carries.) and of course the DL play. Soo little talk of the DL this camp. I really hope corney is improving. Plus butcher / ekakitie battle.

Does that mean he's on the team or is he going to be the Vet cut? Being that he's only got 2 or 3 games in him, they don't want to start the clock in the preseason. blue_gold_84, The Classic, JCon and 3 others 6
wbbfan Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 With 1 game done, 1 game to go and few days in between it seems like some of the position battles are still really muddy. Poop johnson seems to have really muddied things with his play. I could see us starting Hurl at MLB, johnson at the 2nd DT spot and using butcher/ekakitie to rotate an imp mlb or db in. Aside form hurl at mlb, knox and temple combined for some good pressure early. Though temple wasnt playing mlb. santos-knox had some good plays too. At the final wr spot, lankford seems like he'd be best as a DI to return and sub in. But like mlb it doesnt seem like any one is stepping up to take the job. It seems like itll be down to the wire, but walters also talked about doing some cuts early to focus reps on the heat of the positional battles. Loved mos talking about every guy having to go into every football activity with the mind set of keeping his job. Cept medlock. But hes a kicker any way. The rest of TC should be really intense now. Especially with how mos sounded post game about a tie. He seems to take the tie worse then a loss. Bigblue204 1

Oh i dont think we will carry all those DTs. I should have added jake thomas to that. If poop ends up on the roster, it probably spells the end for one of the three candian DTs. Namely butcher if some one is straight up cut. Maybe some one goes to the PR and some one hides on the IR though. And yeah jeffcoat looks like a keeper too. Some real long nights in store for the coaches, walters etc.
TBURGESS Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 I could see Jeffcoat getting a DI spot allowing him to backup both Westerman and Okpalaugo. Thomas, Butcher and/or Ekakitie should be able to hold down one DT spot and backup the other. That leaves Johnson as a PR guy and allows us to use an import MLB. bearpants 1
Mike Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 I think they want Johnson and a Canadian MLB because Johnson is that disruptive. Impossible to say without the luxury of watching but I'd say Jeffcoat, Liggins, Johnson and Santos-Knox are guys who helped their case last night. M.O.A.B., blue_gold_84, Bigblue204 and 2 others 5

Guys who can collapse the pocket and get after the qb up the middle with regularity are worth their weight in gold. And johnson seems to be that guy. Its what they hope ekakitie and butcher and evolve into.
Jpan85 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Wonder if they use 3DI on D or will that one on O.

Apodaca - thought he'd stick around on the PR... though that is still an option... Lowder - I had heard he was having a decent camp... plus a TD in the game... Frederick - started half (ish) games at field side corner last year... I guess it was his spot to lose... and he did just that...

Stickem Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Poop......something that is very necessary to our existence....Is that how we're going to characterize Johnson....maybe he's that good??lol

Taynted_Fayth Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 Poop Johnson can write his own jokes. When Poop hits the rider fan, they actually grow teeth... *rim shot* ok i'll see myself out...
