One thing I really like about this team. The injured vet players are always coach the young guys. Demski and Kramdi doing a lot of coaching today. Strev is another guy that's always helping new players.

Did you notice if Houston was on for Vaval or Lawson?

Mostly Lawson.

Bauming said Houston practised with the #1's, he didn't say who he replaced.

I'm not worried about our receivers at all. They haven't really been a strength all year and the drop off from Sterns to whomever plays there this week is very small. Demski out is an issue but the Riders are going to stop Brady at all costs so whomever is catching the ball is going to be ample chances to succeed.

Not a bad take but slightly understating the impact Sterns has. Has been coming on and gets TDs.  I also believe whoever starts will have reasonable chance at success but the drop off will be a little more than you have stated imo.

Cobb can fill Sterns role but he will need a couple games to do so imo.  I am high on Cobb but he isn't a slam dunk either.  I expect similar numbers from him as Sterns with a slightly lesser ability to catch in coverage on the medium routes.  Cobb also brings more versitlity so that might help the O down the road if he stays on the AR.

I believe the success our receivers have is based on the following:
1. OL - Zach needs time
2. Run game, without it make it very difficult
3. A new face or regular having a statement game
4. Play calling

I disagree with this a lot. Our receivers have not been a strength and we've struggled because of it. Without an upgrade, we're not going to be able to close the gap.

Sterns was turning into a great outlet and I'm not confident in a couple street scrubs to provide that to Zach.

Calling our backup receivers and new signings street scrubs shows little respect for the players and the organization.  I don't believe in name calling.  So easy to make a point without it.

Agree Sterns was turning from an average to great outlet quickly.

Let's say that's the plan. That gives us a ratio open spot for an import. Maybe Woods gets added. OTOH McLeod has been here for over a month as receiver depth on the PR.

Weitz had filled the 2nd global spot at the cost of Canadian. In theory that Canadian now added is Cobb, so Weitz gets bumped in theory.

Would be excited for Woods to come on.

Thanks for the updates. My guess is that Taylor Elgersma clears waivers and lands on the PR this year. Hopefully we'll see him next September.

My pleasure
So excited for him!

Today Cobb got a lot of reps with the #1 O unit. Corcoran mostly with 2nd. team. DS83 spending a lot of time with the #1 unit. Cobb looks a lot like Sterns.

I think Cobb was in for Demski who did not participate in scrimmage, wouldn't mind him getting a shot ahead of Corcoran to see if he can add another dimension.

I'd get the logic of wanting Vaval to be able to concentrate on return duties (IIRC he did PR and Logan did KRs, right?) but IMO Vaval is a much better corner than Lawson going by last game.

Vaval getting some reps off with Logan is more than enough rest for him.

I thinks he's clearly better/more upside than Lawson.

Now we have to worry about Kramdi not playing?  That would screw with the ratio and we'd see a lot more of Jake Kelly.

Kramdi return to the game last week, I'm sure he's just getting some extra rest.
