Receivers

[Blue In BC]

Our recieving corps is just fine. Too much talk about Bailey, IMO. He moved on, everyone else should too. Rotting on Ottawa's practice roster...goes to show you the grass isn't always greener someplace else and you didn't realize who good you had it when you had it!!

If Woli was healthy I might say we're fine. We have 3 rookies starting. Wheatfall was in his 3rd game. All 3 of the rookies look promising however a veteran presence can never be discounted.

If we had not lost Wallace and Feltmate to injuries, then maybe our protection would be better. Bailey played a role in that previously. We aren't sure how the rookies are adapting to the CFL game in that sense.

Discussing Bailey has some merit. We may have chosen to move on from him rather than the other way around. Doesn't mean that situations / needs can't change.

I think our receiving group is just fine honestly.

Clercius is no Woli yet, but has been pretty sure handed and looked solid when called upon

Lawler has made some miscues, hopefully he can turn that around. He still makes some insane catches.

Demski might have lost a step but is still very reliable as long as he doesn't fumble.

Wilson has imo established himself as a superstar in the making. I see a lot of similar qualities in Wheatfall too despite limited action.

I like our receiver group also. I think Wilson is a lock for 1000 yards this year as a rookie, and Wheatfall actually looked better than him to begin the season. Its certainly possible we will move on from either Schoen or Lawler next year to save cap space, although if Schoen comes back later in the season next year, we may be able to fit his salary in, especially in a home Grey Cup year, assuming a full injury recovery. I think he brings something different to the table than the other American receivers we have. Receiver is a position where injuries seem to be common, so ideally, we find some way to hang on to all 4 next season. I can't see us paying Lawler anywhere near what he made this year though.
