February 9, 20223 yr Author comment_555387 Yeah, regarding that Safety spot....I really think Noah Hallett (he's supposed to be the better of the two) is going to be given every chance in the world to win that spot in camp. Just the way MOS loves his CIS success stories......he'd love to have a Canuck in there. Having said that, if he doesn't show well, I could definitely see one of the more veteran imports being slid over (Maston, etc...)

Nick was actaully listed as the back-up on the depth chart last season (not that it really means anything).

February 9, 20223 yr comment_555461 I think someone earlier said Liam Dobson was invited to NFL combine just took a look at the list and he is not on it.

I just worry about Lawler's position. I keep waiting & hoping we sign someone like Ricky Collins as the pickings are getting slim. I'd like us to sign a veteran DB & Janarion Grant. The other thing is with 8 veterans gone elsewhere & their salaries off the books, why is Edmonton the front runner to sign Sergio Castillo? I'm not criticizing Walters but I am wondering just what is going on? We have some holes to fill & what are we waiting for? Again, no criticism just a question I'm sure the fanbase is wondering the same thing. I didn't expect us to be crazy in free agency but I did think we'd be more active than this. Willie Jefferson was asking the same thing on twitter yesterday.

Willie Jefferson was asking the same thing on twitter yesterday. I wouldn't worry about kicker. Last year we went with Legghio as the guy for both jobs. We ended the year with no concerns at kicker. kicker might be the easiest position to fill. Kicking in the CFL is more or less the same as other leagues.
February 10, 20223 yr Author comment_555487 In Walters We Trust. He hasn't steered us wrong yet. As far as the kicking, I really think they believe in Mourtada and Leigghio, and are prepared to go that route for the time being. At some point, it's going to be Legs show.... Just a matter of time. The rest of it.... I have faith there's a plan, because they always have a plan. Walters is the best GM in the league by a mile.

We probably would have lost the Grey Cup relying on Mourtada to kick 5 field goals. You can't just dismiss kicking as no big deal. It's an integral part of any team's success.

February 10, 20223 yr comment_555508 Cunningham, Collins, Ambles any of the three would be a nice add at WR.

You can't just dismiss kicking as no big deal. It's an integral part of any team's success. Not sure luck has anything to do with it. We had a need and we filled that need. Mourtada was kicking at a high clip right before we replaced him with Castillo. We brought Castillo in so we werent taking any chances. Were starting this year better than we did last year from the kicking standpoint and Im not worried that we will be able to sign a capable kicker if Mourtada doesn't pan out.

What is he good at? Here is McKnight's highlight video, he's fast but too short to play receiver IMO. It looks like he could be a good return man if Grant doesn't return.

This time last year there were lots of question marks around DB, and they unearthed a couple of good ones. Thinking they'll be able to network a few surprises this year. Eli was another great example of unearthing some off the radar talent.

A league that has had Brandon Banks, Chad Owens and Weston Dressler as league leaders in receiving stats in the last 10 years.
