Fogg made a lot of tackles but he also got burned quite often on coverage. +1 Fogg had some monster plays, but he also regularly got burned and was in chase mode a lot
June 12, 20178 yr comment_267673 Same can be said for Frederick tho. Fogg can also return kicks and punts. Frederick was good but he got beat quite often also.
June 12, 20178 yr comment_267675 I'm surprised by Frederick being in the first round of cuts. It's not likely that any of these would get a P.R. spot as there are more cuts to be made after this week's game.

Apodaca also but not really because basically i dont think cutting a 4th string qb is as surprising as cutting a starting DB. With that said, the one position the bombers have no problem finding guys is DB.

They must like what they see in one of the new guys.

June 12, 20178 yr comment_267680 On TSN last night interviewing 3 GMs Walters said he & MOS frequently have sharp disagreements that takes stuff to repair ... MOS seems very narrow minded tunnel visioned to me .... if you are not next up to bat in his mind you are excluded from his plans .... see Bryan Bennett & U of M QB Yantz a couple years back ... many promises were made to Yantz but he never got to play a single down (and like Apodaca he had the best arm in camp) ... he was better than some of the Cdn QBs we see around the CFL this year. Both Yantz and Apodaca were never given a chance and MOS never planned to give them a chance .... this is a major character flaw with MOS
June 12, 20178 yr comment_267681 we have a lot of dbs in camp, there are a few flying under the radar. They likely know all they need to about Frederick. Edited June 12, 20178 yr by Gotmilt

Walters never said what they disagree about, unless you have some other source, everything you have here is conjecture on what MOS is thinking and what they debate. He never said it "takes stuff to repair" either. What I heard is ... they have their discussion / disagreement, a decision is made, and once done, they move on. Seems more like healthy debate to me.

June 12, 20178 yr comment_267700 Just now, bearpants said: I ,too, always hoped Yantz would get a shot to make a CFL roster... but it's not like anyone else has signed him since his time here... True - but I'm not really a fan of the 'no one else signed him' argument... I just could never understand that complete lack of snaps - I think Brohm and Marve were the other guys in camp... Very fair to start questioning our QB scouting abilities

I would be concerned if they didn't. We don't need yes-men or cow-towing to the brass in this organization anymore. Like Rich said above, debate, decide, move on. Rinse repeat.
