Throw Long Bannatyne

Quote from: Blue In BC on September 17, 2025, 03:35:37 PMHe played defence but like a rookie and got beaten too many times. In the past Logan has played well when used on offence and has more experience as a CFL player. We have others that can play defence and he was bumped from that role as a starter. In 2026 he may be competing to start but he's only an emergency fill in right now.

In 38 games Logan has provided 3200 return yards on punt and K/O's. On offence he's provided 1200 yards rushing or receiving as a rotational player.

He just hasn't shown it this year. Lingering injury issue or confidence lost.

If he isn't better now or perceived to be better before the end of the season they may as well release him. Five regular season games left counting this week.

He's no longer injured but collecting a game salary on 1 game IR. Echols is somewhat similar as a rotational player on offence that is also a returner.

Keeping both seems moot. Pick one and move on. Neither is likely to be on the roster next year.



I was excited when they signed him as I was a fan when he was in Calgary and considered him the second most explosive returner in the CFL next to Grant.

This return is from one year ago, hopefully he gets his knack back.

Nice to have both when injuries occur imo

You make some great points thanks for the insight

Bears noting, Jamal Parker returned to full practice participation today.

The daily IR report is fairly positive. Griffin looks like he's definitely out this week which is too bad. I hope we get Sterns and Parker back for this game. Parker could start and push Lawson to a DI spot replacing Griffin as an option.
One game at a time.

unlikely we see Sterns if he still limited but Parker may replace Griffin but I'd still rather see Vanderpool or Woods/Adams. I dont think wed see Lawson come out hes been better each game.
I guess based on OSheas track history we might see Parker replace Allen but I hope not

Waffler

Neither Parker or Sterns are likely. They have been off for extended periods.

Sterns has only missed 3 games. Parker has missed 5 games. That's about a month and 6 weeks respectively.  We'll see but it's not out of the question since neither required surgery.

Lawson is a Canadian so no need to take him out whether we add an import DT or not. Lawson has been the weakest link in the secondary, so I wouldn't expect Parker to replace Allen if he's added to the roster.

If Parker isn't added then I expect J. Jones to be added with Griffin coming out.

Sterns would replace Mitchell and he might be the most probable to play of the 2 on IR.

We're guessing on the " limited " status but that's the same for Collaros. None of them is also possible.

Dexter Lawson is an American, Cam Lawson is a Canadian.

I know.

I thought you were suggesting that to get Woods or Adams on the roster.

Oh, we need Woods/Adams on the DL, but it's not Lawson who is the weak link.

if Parker goes in a db will come out as we don't need a backup with Vaval as returner so the likely man out would either be Lawson Jr or Allen. Sterns has been limited while at least Parker is listed as full participant in practices
Adding Jones doesn't do a whole lot as he's not a cover lb and we supposed have Ayers as backup for Wilson.
But I've given up on OShea doing the logical move vs his gut

I don't expect too many lineup changes, not reason to rush guys but replacing Griffin if necessary is important

The way Younger was talking today, I expect to see Parker back at CB.  He also spoke very highly of Griffin, saying he was a rare player that can play all 3 levels of the defence and will be difficult to replace.  My guess would be Ayers sees a lot more reps this game in his place, allowing room to bring Jon Jones on as well.
