I have no idea how they'd evaluate returners in practice.  They can't really run special teams plays anywhere close to 100% in practice.

That's one spot as a coach you have to evaluate in live reps because a guy could look just great snapping down a punt with no pressure and jogging off while being useless in a real game.  Basically what we're seeing in real time with Mitchell.

Where is LaDarus Vann when you need him?

Agreed. He's stuck between two guys that are causing a lot of issues.

Which makes letting a known super star returner walk even more frustrating. I wasn't even against it...but it was 100% a mistake

Expand  

I don't disagree that it was time to move on from Grant.  He's just busted up, also lacking that burst consistently since he came back from the last round of injuries in 2023.

But surely to hell we can find someone (or multiple) useful guys.  Pretty sure Montreal and Calgary have run through about 5 each the last 3 or so years.

on a positive note with the loss....a crappy undeserved win would have glossed this over and 100 percent would have been reason enough to change absolutely nothing....so there is a silver lining there

I understand- must be maddening at times. 

I appreciate that you shared this.  (Sincerely- not in a condescending manner, just to be clear).

Mitchell doesn’t look natural back there. Looks uncomfortable getting under a ball that isn’t kicked right to him, doesn’t have great vision, and doesn’t seem to have the speed to make much happen.

Zack’s mobility looks like late stages nichols. 

Expand  

Very disheartening. Really doesn’t have the escapability anymore. Also happy feet. No need to panic and tuck the ball. What… are u protecting it on 3rd down with game on line? You’re gonna “take the sack” there? WTF

I know you love him, but Kongbo has made less impact as a CFL player than one of your whipping boys Kramdi. 

I'd take him on the roster, as a rotational piece he adds value but he's not going to fix all the problems. I'd start by apologizing to some of the DL/LBs from preseason and seeing if they'll come back and make merit based decisions on play time rather than who's been around a long time

He returned some kickoffs in college but don't see him having any punt returns there or in spring leagues.

It's kind of it's own thing.  Guys are returners or they aren't.  He ain't clearly.

They couldn't find someone when Grant was injured last year, and still can't find somebody. No way Mitchell should be out there next week.

You can extrapolate that across the last two years. MOS has shown he is a don't **** with it if its successful. And to be fair- the last 4 (five) years have been successful. So I hope he starts making some of the necessary changes to right the ship.

he made several impactful plays...big one in playoffs too....he also is yes...for rotation...Canadian depth on teams...and also allows us to work different fronts....and he's yhoung and in shape

Only impactfull play that Kramdi has really made was his whiff on Rhymes allowing the clock to run down and have Parker come out of nowhere and make the tackle

last 2 yrs have not been sucessfull...the 2 before that yup....no player I ever played with would see not getting a ring be any kind of success...not buying that

I am telling you, the offseason was prime time to sell high on Collaros and run with Brown/Streveller. Send Collaros to Ottawa for something useful and move on. Collaros made hay when he was able to play houdini in the backfield but he can't do that anymore and he struggles mightily unless you have an impenetrable OL.
