We seem to have a stacked WR core and he seems to be the odd man out. Yeah it’s only a half a pre-season game but it’s going to be curious on everyone take. Are there others on the chopping block? We need a backup cdn. That's Bolo. I think Agudosi is the odd man out.

He’s a shoe in. Our only back up ni wr for 2 starters. Just now, Goalie said: We need a backup cdn. That's Bolo. I think Agudosi is the odd man out. I think it’ll be mcg on the outs not agudosi. I also think Augustine is going to need a much better performance next week. Other wise we are gonna really need to sift through cuts for a better back up ni rb.

I honestly think he’s showing just fine. Certainly better than Clements, imo. It looks like he’s trying to process a bit too much but his range/activity level were both impressive to me in the moments I was watching him.
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631887 Parker and Holm are great looking CFL DB's. Can turn up the aggression and come down hill at ballcarriers, great ball skills, both can return kicks too. I don't see anyway that these two guys don't make the team, even if it means one of Rose or Lawrence are cut. Kelly noticeable in contain on punt cover, bet he's on the roster day 1 too. I'm hoping for a little more juice out of Brian Cole if he's there when he gets out there at WIL.

Augustine started last year poorly but got better as the season wore on. But, yeah. looked slow and indecisive.
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631891 Augustine doesn’t make much less than Brady either. Could be some savings there.
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631892 Augustine is a fine place holder and special teamer, but we 100% need an import on the practice roster ready to go if needed.

May 27, 20232 yr comment_631894 Taits point about tackling in practice is solid. But it’s only more reason to push hawk tackling imo.
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631895 Solid first half. Bit surprised Collaros played for as long as he did, but all good. Gonna grab another beer and settle back in. And as a side note, Edmonton's mascot is ******* frightening.
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631896 Imagine if hockey players only wore skates on gamedays. I think the pendulum will need to swing a bit back to more contact in practices even if it's not always full speed.

Rose is leader who wants to be here I think they’ll keep him one way or another but he might be our 7th best db.
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631898 Based on what I've heard about Agudosi's camp so far...I find it hard to believe we will be cutting him. As for BOLO...based on that first half we clearly have a guy with a lot of talent. The ones he didn't catch were largely forced throws. Sure, he could have made better plays on the ball, but I don't hold those against him. I have a feeling BOLO might be our top canadian receiver by years end if given the opportunity. I'm a bit more worried about our defense.

Even high school now we're about 1/3 practices in pads...but a lot of guys have never played before. They aren't getting much contact until they are out there for real. OK DL Coach...teach the guys about offside.

May 27, 20232 yr comment_631902 The only thing you can do to make Ford viable is to over pursue him. So let's try out best to not do that!
May 27, 20232 yr comment_631904 I wanna see some of these big receivers in the second half. Garner, Westfield, Beaulieu, etc Les Maruo has looked terrible so far
