Cobb was with the #1 group all through training camp while Clercius was with the 2s. We never got to see if they were going to make the switch during the regular season.

Yea, but if we want a guy in that role he needs to be interchangeable with Eli, Chris-Ike, and Cobb. I get what you’re saying but if we’re using a TE, it needs to be Canadian. In the contact of this whole discussion, a 2nd round draft pick who’s getting developed (while the offence has looked pretty good), isn’t really landing the point for me.

I did not receive the error message this time!

They mentioned the blowing wind during the final drive when we were going for a TD, but I had no real concept about the weather until Zach talked about it postgame.

delete.

He was a pretty great returner for 3-4 years and 2.5 receiving seasons, like you said. But he had 4 separate seasons with multiple return TDs, it wasn’t just 2015. He returned 5 missed FGs for TDs in his career as well (rip endzones). Like a said earlier, there were 6 solid years where he was a household name. That meets my personal bar. It just looks bad if you only look at his receiving numbers, but that was only half the picture.

He was really good for a really short amount of time. Probably wouldn’t have got my vote. I take this back, actually. He had a solid 6 year run of being a top/elite player. That’s good enough for the nod, imo.

Anyone tried to go on cfl.ca to see stats? Not working for me.

Especially when they keep moving the season earlier. BUT - they don’t care. The league cited viewership numbers when making the change, not attendance numbers.

It’s not a slight on Brady, but if we want our offense to be successful, our best receivers need to catch the ball more than our RB. White, Wilson, and Demski should be some of our best players. The last 2 years - when our O has taken a huge step back- Brady has been our #3 and #2 receiver. It looks great during awards season for him but it’s not helping us put up points.

Well, one of the reason's TC is known for underutilizing the running game is because his RBs always have as many passing yards as they do rushing yards. That said, I'd argue we're already using Brady too much in that regard. He's great as an outlet when you need it, but I'd rather get the ball in the hands of White, Wilson, and Demski if we're putting the ball in the air. Brady should not be anywhere near our #2 receiver by design.

This morning seems good.

I don't think so. Feels like Smith is ahead of him and he's still buried behind all the Americans. Worth noting that Smith was their first round target because they didn't think Shay would be available and they picked him last minute.

Look at Demki's stats for the first 5 years of his career. Neild has done just as much with much less targets, to be honest.

Do you say that because of your assessment of Neild or because your love for Demski? Neild seems like he's increased his production each year he's been a pro and had over 500 yards last year in only 13 games as part of a crowded receiving core. Almost a 13 yard average, a long of 69. I think his production will be capped with us due to the fact that he's the #4 target, but if he is pushed into a larger role, I think he has the capacity for it. There's also the fact that this is the 2026 version of Demski who has clearly been struggling to stay healthy over the past couple of years and is now starting the year knicked. There's a chance Neild is going to be very critical for us.
