September 10, 20168 yr comment_222253 I'm not sure who is better between smith or Denmark as a reciever.. but smith really lays his body on the line and goes all out in blocking... he may be short but he's a strong tough little gaffer
September 11, 20168 yr comment_222461 He seems to get hurt a lot as well, alright ... back to Winnipeg, I mean Denmark
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223382 I'd consider mayo over Denmark but depending on Harris and the ratio.... perhaps JFG gets a start cuz I'd imagine if Harris can't go... Flanders will. Edited September 13, 20168 yr by Goalie
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223445 I get that Sheppard does well at other aspects of the game but man I can't understand why he plays and Mayo doesn't. Is the primary job of a receiver not to get open and catch the ball? Seems to me that Mayo is better at that then Sheppard.

September 13, 20168 yr comment_223468 We need more than a couple of guys to catch passes, each game...

I suppose the logical answer is that his receiving skills aren't enough of an upgrade on Sheppard to make up for Sheppard's advantage in blocking and st's play.
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223476 ...or D and ST can take plenty of credit for that. But, yeah...without Sheppard....not a lot of physicality in that R corps
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223477 so who is taking first team reps today in place of smith, anyone know

Some thing we dont have much of at wr. Id like denmark to be on the roster but i guess its a good problem to have.
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223556 Maybe the Blue can trade a 5th round pick and get Nik Lewis from Montreal? Big physical presence and veteran "leadership".

Sounds doable. Lewis is probably tired of Carter's hissy-fits and he could be valuable for the next couple of months.

Big physical presence and veteran "leadership". would love to add lewis. I think he'd fit great with what we do on offense too. But id be some kind of shocked if any other deals of any level happen.
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223576 From the "In Case You Missed It" thread: Quote " Herb Zurkowsky Montreal Gazette-Nik Lewis understood change was in the air. He just didn’t think it would be Kevin Glenn, the Alouettes’ starting quarterback.“It’s the wrong change. I’ve told them what I thought about the change,” a defiant Lewis said following Wednesday’s practice at Stade Hébert. “I don’t like it, but they pay me to play, and that’s what I’m going to do. They don’t pay me to like things.”
September 13, 20168 yr comment_223584 Lawless tweeted out something today about how the Als might be having a fire sale right away. They're going to be cutting ties with expensive vets and using their younger, cheaper players to both get an idea what they have and also to shed some salary...

September 13, 20168 yr comment_223643 If we could get Lewis for a Grey Cup push that would be tremendous. A huge possession receiver who could possibly argue with that?

The thought of dropping off a pass to Harris out of the backfield with Lewis blocking up front does sound pretty good.
September 14, 20168 yr comment_223709 I know he's a ****** but I'd take carter over Lewis any day at this point.
