Also, when Couture is back, will he replace Gray? I feel like Kolankowski has been a nice fit on the O-Line for us

I would expect Couture back at C when he's healthy. Gray has been improving but we'll see how that goes this week.

2 problems:
1. Has Couture ever done other than C for us?  Don't think so?
2. Gray has improved and he seems to be trying to make his mark on the team.  I think he may have had an attitude change recently.

But you make a good point: Ko-man has been been solid at C.  HOWEVER, DTs are still taking advantage of our left A-gap and that gap is half Ko-man's responsibility.  The Gray A-gap troubles might not be all on Gray...

To be honest, I have a hard time paying attention to the OL on consecutive plays lol but you could be right! I have slowly started to see a drop in holding calls which is the most important thing.

I'll try and go back in the depth charts from 2 years ago, but I think Couture played guard for is as well. Just trying to remember who played center for us at that point...

Agudosi is a very intriguing player. He seems to be a solid deep threat, pretty fast, with big strong hands. Kind of the BC reciever prototype! He also plays hard on special teams. He played for Rutgers at the same time as Jenarian Grant

I'm not sure how fast Agudosi is but I can't imagine a 6'6" receiver going down field on ST's. Our St's are playing well and there isn't really a reason to change that up IMO.

If he plays well at receiver, that's really all he needs to do this week.

M. Goossen played center before Couture.

A former second overall pick, Goossen has made 64 starts for the Bombers at centre, including all 18 games last season. The pending free agent topped all offensive linemen in CFL.ca?s top 30 pending free agents, ranking eighth overall.

Retired in January 2019.

He ran 4.60+ during his pro-day. I looked at his highlights, he remind me of Carr when he runs. It's deceivingly fast, because of those long steps.

Reportedly is that he has soft hands and he'll be a big target for Collaros. However that's only 2" taller than O'Leary-Orange. I never did see when or how he got injured or exactly how we replaced him afterwards. Several players had some catches but that seemed a by committee result?

While that's not a bad thing I don't know whether Agudosi will be targeted more as a direct replacement for Demski. I can imagine he could see a role blocking and as a decoy as well.

Looking forward to seeing him have some success. He may only have a couple of games before we change our ratio in some way.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have brought back American receiver Kelvin McKnight.

The 25-year-old McKnight was released by the team in June after playing eight games for the blue and gold in 2021, recording 15 receptions for 96 yards. He made his CFL debut, and first start, against the Toronto Argonauts on Friday, August 13 last year.

Steveler signed with the Jets today.  That was probably our last chance to establish a real running game...

So a Canadian needs to be activated. If any of our 6-gamers are not ready yet, then it would be either DB Rene or WR McMillan (Rifles guy). I'm guessing it would be the latter.
