I was impressed with how Taylor Elgersma conducted himself in his media availability today. He was very careful not to give the answers that a couple of media members were hoping to capture.

Summary of media availability from Ed Tait

It has been a long time since the Blue Bombers have rostered a Canadian QB and even longer since one accomplished anything in a game. Here is a list of the last time it happened : Canadian QB for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers edition.

Another L, and another key player with an injury. I hope Varsho's injury isn't long term.

JT19 says, Winnipeg is the only place he will play.

352 total yards, 114 YAC.  Literally 1/3 of his yards came after the catch.

Ya, but wasn't he used as a screen target and wide-out-near-LOS-at-the-rail "wide open" guy?  Easy to get 5-7 YAC on every one of those.  Especially when you're the guy the D ignored because they were dealing with the "real" threats.

I guess we will see in camp.  There is no debating he showed he had the ability to get open and catch as a rookie under Buck.  Maybe it was just the sophomore jinx.

People keep saying this... but isn't year 2 the year these NAT DPs are supposed to "break out"?  A mediocre NAT REC has a limited time to prove himself...

Ajou has a career high of 300 yards?

He was still all potential at this point.

But Ajou was probably their best blocker and is a very big body out there.  That's the type SSK/Mace are interested in.

He was probably already better than Clercius, and with even more future potential.

Well, bye!

They are left with Bhel Duncan-Dusby, who looks to be the least talented of the 3, their equivalent of Joey Corcoran.

I was *just* about to post the same. 

However, I was going to say Busby isn't even a Corcoran (who has hands).  SSK in for some hurt with their "cheap big NAT" REC paradigm.  Someone could ruin their day by taking any big-body REC in the draft right before SSK can pick...

If charges were not laid or complaints made, I'm not sure how he can get suspended or released.

Kelly had zero charges against him as well.  No police report filed.  However, in that case there was a pretty quick complaint made.  Maybe this case, too.

I agree, though, that we must balance the response to complaints made by randos.  It's no like fake complaints aren't made all the time, especially against well-known (or rich) sports stars.

You wouldn't have those imports on the AR as DI's for an in game injury.

Mostly true (for us).  But not always.

In the recent past we've had McCrae types (Cooley(?) too, was that his name?) as backup RB slash gadget REC.

Other teams, of course, roster DI RECs and RBs all the time.  Many put a top-15 REC as DI and use them as DNA (25 snaps).  White was used that way more often than not the last 2 years in HAM.

Name a team that rosters an import OL as a DI? Doesn't happen.

Could have sworn we had 1-2 games the last 1-2 seasons where we started an IMP as backup hoggie?  (Usually when too many NAT hoggies were IR'd.)  Other than that, yes it's uber-rare.

You guys said he's tall right?  I assume has some beef too?  Then couldn't he be a Stevens type and be SY in week 1?  And learn the #2 role over the next 1-2 seasons...
