Posted June 18, 201411 yr comment_57772 I'll be heading over this morning. I'll touch base every once in a while. When is cut down day?
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57785 Cut down day is Saturday, but apparently MOS said yesterday that they'd likely have everything decided Friday and might even make it public then...
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57813 Sounds like a bad one. Prolly occured when [Moore] got jammed by the Argo DB stretching for a catch. No word on how long he's out for but my estimate (back injuries) is minimum 2 games to as many as 10 games. Yes, Nate . Read on twitter that Nick Moore was back practicing yesterday. How's he looking today?
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57816 JWJ any early impression on the 2 new INTL players... Bolton and Dell ?
June 18, 201411 yr Author comment_57818 Moore is fine. Sears lookin like he's fully recovered too. Leggett, Suber, Markett and Alexander still out for DBs. Kolhert, Ford, Cotton out as well. They've been installing some trickery this morning.
June 18, 201411 yr Author comment_57823 I'm really starting to think Aaron Kelly should be starting over Urrutia. He's made some nice contested grabs today. Urrutia has never impressed me like he has others. I just don't see it in him. Kemp not practicing either I don't think I mentioned him.
June 18, 201411 yr Author comment_57824 Willy is making his throws count today. Aaron woods is getting a lot of looks as a SB, but the defense is easily making plays on the balls thrown to him. Two plays in particular would have been completions had a taller receiver been the target... He is just way too small.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57828 Keep it coming JWJ, and thanks. Perhaps I'll give it a turn tomorrow.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57832 if Kelly is on the roster it's a failure of the scouting staff. You can do better than that player.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57834 if Kelly is on the roster it's a failure of the scouting staff. You can do better than that player. I used to think that, but Kelly has impressed me this preseason and in practice. I think he deserves to make the team and will contribute this season.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57836 if Kelly is on the roster it's a failure of the scouting staff. You can do better than that player. I'm not crazy about Aaron Kelly but really all we need from that WR spot is a guy who can catch a few balls per game, and Kelly fits that persona. Denmark, Moore, and Watson will be the guys carrying the offence in terms of receivers.... that WR spot just needs to be a guy who can catch the damn ball when it comes to him. Kelly's not a gamebreaker but he makes tough catches to keep drives alive and that might be enough. It does seem odd with all the talk about our scouting staff that they haven't been able to bring in anyone better, though.

June 18, 201411 yr comment_57841 I don't mind Kelly... but he's like Renaud and Dunn - way better in practice than game situations.

It does seem odd with all the talk about our scouting staff that they haven't been able to bring in anyone better, though. What he has done best so far is bringing down the ball on plays he has little business making. Unless Urrutia steps up the job should be Kelly's. He is earning it this year. Usually the guy we have on the wide side is a NI we're stuffing over there in hopes of meeting the ratio and not hurting the team. Kelly on the wide side is actually a threat.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57860 Nobody has outplayed Aaron Kelly at the wideout position yet. Some people are saying that is a failure on recruiting…what if it's success by Kelly?
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57861 Nobody has outplayed Aaron Kelly at the wideout position yet. Some people are saying that is a failure on recruiting…what if it's success by Kelly? Kelly gets way too much flack here (beating a dead horse), being a guy that came in midway through the season last year and looked pretty decent (in bursts, of course). I say let the chips fall where they may. He will likely be the starting WR come the first game of the season. What I like about this management team is that they are constantly looking to get better, and that is for every position.

It does seem odd with all the talk about our scouting staff that they haven't been able to bring in anyone better, though. Haven't really seen that ability from Kelly, other than catching a deep ball every few games and basically bringing nothing to our offence otherwise. Given where he is (not getting any better), and where our team is (building for 2015), I don't see much of a point in giving him a lot of run. He'll always look great in practice, there's no threat of getting rocked, and he's an impressive looking athlete. The guy they brought in from Edmonton looks like he'll be a boundary WR candidate, and otherwise if they don't want to give Urrutia a shot I'd rather give it to Jaymar Johnson, even though he's older than Kelly, he's a CFL rookie and should have some mileage left if he shows he can play consistently.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57866 I would be inclined to agree with you about Jaymar JBR except Mike says he is a slot receiver. I don't know where the new guy lines up so I left him out of the debate.

What I like about this management team is that they are constantly looking to get better, and that is for every position. except he really didn't... he made like 3 really impressive looking catches and disappeared. He did about as much on a per game basis as Etienne did and you all couldn't wait to run Etienne out of town. Kelly making the team means the scouts failed to bring in anyone better and that is not a good thing.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57917 Kelly is a proven CFL receiver, he's not great but he's not as bad as some make him out to be, he's serviceable, he catches the ball which is more than some of our rookies can say. Fact is, kelly doesn't need to put up big numbers, he won't be the number 1 or even 2nd or 3rd option, heck it's likely he might even be the 5th option on plays. Anyways though, with o'shea letting wild lead the post practice yoga, it tells me they are high on wild and like what he brings, he's a leader and he will definitely be on the team.

Not liking what he did last year should not entirely invalidate all the good things he has done this year.
