June 18, 201411 yr comment_57829 Jaymar - unimpressive in the 1st game but much more effective in the 2nd game. Coach's decision for sure. Urrutia - does not meet fan expectations but what about the coach's? Kemp - as mentioned…flashes of good and meh Reed - still a ? Kelly - I'd be surprised if he isn't around after the 21st. Dell - I watched that wretched Esks. game and thought Edmonton's highlight was the play of Dell. Then I discover he was cut. Does not compute. Could be a good pickup.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57830 Kemp and Johnson both looked like they had a clue what they were doing.... but they both put a lot of balls on the turf over the course of the 2 games. I am always concerned about guys who drop passes because your #1 job as a receiver is to catch the ball when it comes to you.Â
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57831 Jaymar - unimpressive in the 1st game but much more effective in the 2nd game. Coach's decision for sure. He started game 1 poorly, but looked good in the later part of the game. It was nice to see he could carry it over into the next game.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_57833 Some smart signings.  I'd say Stephan is on the bubble now.  ehhhhhhhh I dunno. Any extra job security Stephan got from Newman's injury has now been removed.  The team needs lots of these types of players during the year. Stephan is still competing with Eisho for a job. If Cornell is still a gamer and Briggs' injury is soon resolved, then the numbers will start to work against him. Or Eisho. Unlikely they cut both. Stephan will be hurt in the first half of the first game and be gone for the year. So it really doesn't matter.

June 18, 201411 yr comment_58038 Some smart signings.  I'd say Stephan is on the bubble now.  O'shea spoke highly of stephan on the coaches show,, wouldn't be so quick to write him off even though i would sort of agree with you in thinking he should be on the bubble.  Looking at the linebacking depth in terms of Non Imports  Cornell, Stephan,Briggs,Aisho.  2 are rookies, of those 2 rookies, 1 is hurt.. Not much depth there. Stephan probably sticks around.Â

June 18, 201411 yr comment_58055 Stephan was never a bad player for this team, he just couldn't stay healthy. It kind of seems strange that everyone decided this year that he was a useless player rather than simply a guy who is made of glass... very strange indeed.

It kind of seems strange that everyone decided this year that he was a useless player rather than simply a guy who is made of glass... very strange indeed. Â He's almost never played, so I'm not sure what you're basing that assessment on. Â I'm not sure if you're confusing him with someone else. Â He's played 8 games in 2 years, hardly at all on D. Â He's missed more tackles than he's made this pre-season, that's what I'm basing my assessment on. Â I'd like to see a little more assertiveness out of a guy with LB after his name in terms of tackling a guy with the ball right in his area.
June 18, 201411 yr comment_58060 and in those 8 games he's played he was fine, yeah mostly on special teams sure but that's where your backups are supposed to shine right? The guys problem is that he breaks all the damned time not that he's got no skill.Â
