It almost seems that Dalton Schoen was a fluke. So kick returners and receivers are a weak spot despite us bringing in two of the best players at those positions that the league has seen in a decade?

Well...if you're busting their nuts on other guys who started in other CFL camps you might as well do it on Janarion Grant too. Started in Hamilton's camp. I believe it is a major weak spot. Aside from Grant and maybe Kevin Fogg this personnel department over a decade have struggled greatly to find/coach someone up who can perform the basic tasks of a punt returner....secure the ball and get 10 yards. In terms of receiver I don't really know what they were going for this year but we had a ton of the 5'11 190 guys in camp. And that's basically who we have left. Hopefully they are fast because Collaros only goes vertical. Probably should be looking more for the Lawler body types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be huge for stretching the field. 6 hours ago, Goalie said: I think his loss is a big one in the room. He always brought the fire. Without being there, I’d speculate the biggest loss to that room was Andrew. Edited June 10 by JohnnyAbonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking to the past, which I don't think they should be, Agudosi is currently a free agent and already knows the playbook.

They’ve brought in quite a few others that got the job done over the years, just not all top of the league or anything. Returners before Grant, we had some decent, some not. Troy Stoudermire, Charles Nelson, Ryan Lankford all had their moments. Again not spectacular, but average-solid. I’m still holding out for Chris Smith, guy looked really good and @Booch said he’s kicking around still. Piggy 1 and WildPath 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I look at a team like the Argos or Lions and envy their receiving depth .. they always seem to have someone new, each year, capable of stepping in and making an impact. I also think Buck isn't exactly an offensive mastermind (and is somewhat handicapped having cut his teeth under LaPo).

He’s 4 plays or less. Plus doesn’t check down. I’m curious also. He’s not Matt nichols dink n dunk but that’s not a bad thing when he’s on but when he’s not on, they need to sit him for a bit. Love Zach. Good dude. Wonder if hanging with T Swift went to his head. Probably but # me too. Edited June 12 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
