Yeah...maybe a yr of seasoning...another camp next yr...and he turns a corner

With how he performed as a kick returner, it would be the first corner he's turned in his professional career.

Yep.  It's easy to criticize a guy like Lawler who chased the money and regretted it but the flipside is a guy like Sheed.  He was loyal to the club but never made up the money he left on the table after the 2021 season, never got another ring and is (was?) now a PR player.  As much as I'd love to see all our top guys back every year, I don't fault anyone for taking the money while they can.

He was our leading receiver when we cut him.

That seemed weird and I am curious as to what actually happened there. I don't think the Argos actually had anyone coming back at that point? He was always came across as very... intense in all his social media. I wonder if something happened behind the scenes.

This is what Ben Grant (color guy for the Argos) had said when asked if it was a ratio issue or something else.  Sheed was just the odd man out it would seem.

It’s really tough. They’re very high on Polk, who is only 22 and on a rookie contract, and DaVaris and Coxie are DaVaris and Coxie. With Mital and Ungerer back and Edouard hurt, you have to start two Canadian WR, and the Americans vets aren’t going on the PR.

I love Woli but I hope not... this reeks of Dalton/Bighill last year.... Clercious is a great fill in, don't mess with it now

Why would he practice at all is they didn't think he had a chance to play. Noting we lose Kelly so we're down a Canadian at the moment.

[Booch]

you could stick Woli in for the Hallett who is always hurt...got hurt again...and really offers nothing to the roster

That would be a good move, just don’t want to see Clercius coming off, he’s been so solid at everything.

Especially if he's subbing in for Demski, who is also questionable.  I hope they're prepared to use Lucky as a receiver a lot more than they have been.

yeah...I don\t think you can take Clercius off, as he does a lot in the run game and has as solid a set of hands as we have....Woli tho is ZC safety blanket and they have unreal chemistry...so in key second downs and certain field positions...he will be huge for ZC overall success. NIce to have options....He was hurt with ribs....so he will be able to run and move normally out there...unlike in 2023 when 4 guys we played couldn't run

I have  feeling Lucky is gonna have a bigger role sunday...even with Demski playing...which he will...no fear of him not

[WinnipegGordo]

I think Lucky will have his best game of the year on Sunday.

He'll feel at home at BC Place and will have the Lions fans cheering for him.

Now we know why Griffin was pulled before the Toronto game.
