He has looked okay at times, but at other times he's looked extremely raw, like the rookie that he is. He'll get better eventually, but he shouldn't be starting right now. he would start for more then a few teams first year. Its an investment thing. its not perfect but i bet he bounces back if he plays LD,

August 30, 20195 yr Author comment_421917 Talk about special! I did not know they were 1 - 2 in tackles. “Perhaps the most impressive player from the draft class has been Exume, who was the 70th player taken out of 73 total. He has a whopping 15 special teams tackles, just one behind the league leader, his teammate Mike Miller.” https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/bombers-draft-class-of-2019-making-strong-contribution-in-first-cfl-season#click=https://t.co/XDPi2uCXaE
August 30, 20195 yr comment_421920 https://www.cfl.ca/2019/08/28/nfl-cut-tracker-plenty-cfl-ties-south/ Zero guys in the NFL. Does that say anything about our team/scouting/recruiting? We are 8-2 so our team is good as a whole but we seem to have trouble finding the next all star that is so good they are destined for the NFL.

Normally I don't even listen to the entire thing. But I don't agree with him about the penalties. When you push an official, you better expect 15 yards - he should have gotten 25 for that - it's pathetic. an intentional push should be an automatic ejection.

Mike Kelly had like 5 guys from his 2009 team get a look in the NFL in the off-season. Wouldn't put too much stock into it.
August 30, 20195 yr comment_421978 Desjarlais just turned 22 this spring...give him some time and these early starts in is career are nothing but bebeficial for him...He's still really a kid playing against men...and holding his own quite well...being that age and going against guys in mid to late 20'2..30's is a big gap to close...and he isn't hurting us now..Imagine when he matures Neuf tho back would be huge...Bryant/Neuf/Couture/Gray/Hardrick with Speller as the 6th and Drew and ELI on PR is crazy assed depth..I wouldn't be surprised we see nNeuf as a full participant at practice ater this weekend. And I actually think ELI is gonna be the best out of all those 3 young interior guys who are starting right now... Edited August 30, 20195 yr by Booch

A guy we cut (Brandin Bryant) got a tryout with the Browns this year.

August 30, 20195 yr comment_422079 I believe McCalister was move to PR today. So Roh will be back to the other D-end spot.
August 30, 20195 yr comment_422083 If you're a CFL team is it better to sign a lot of guys who you have for a short time but lose to NFL opportunities or is it better to sign excellent CFLers who will not get NFL looks?

Basically what I expected out of him and am happy with it
August 31, 20195 yr comment_422116 He's gonna be good for sure, but he definitely shouldn't be starting right now. My only hope is that he isn't overwhelmed by all of it and it doesn't wreck him somehow. Seems like he's handling it okay but hopefully Neufeld is back soon to really shore things up.

The silver lining of Neufeld's long absence has been 3 young Natl. O-linemen fast tracking their careers with plenty of valuable game reps. they would not normally have received. This has provided the coaching staff with an abundance of game film which will help them make difficult roster decisions during the off-season which could determine the composition of the O-line for the next 3-4 years. I think they now have the confidence to move on without Paddy.

Chungh was up and down when he got thrown into the starting lineup too.
August 31, 20195 yr comment_422135 Actually crazy that we had Couture for three years and he barely saw the field but now Speller, Desjarlais, Gray, and Eli are all playing as essentially rookies. The strength and stability of the OL really transformed this team during 2016-2018 and the young guys now are carrying the torch.
August 31, 20195 yr comment_422140 Having Wylie for a bit and then a Wylie protégé now running things for the OL has been all the difference, Imo...
