Blue In BC

GOLDMEMBER

Likely to preview him for next year?

Really hard to crack the lineup. We still have Agudosi so I got to think he would be behind Agudosi on the depth chart.

Pete

a lot will depend on if we are able to resign Shoen next year as he becomes a free agent thats likely to draw a lot of offers

M.O.A.B.

Agree. Unless he can crack the team in return game. He hasn't done much in return game in college.

I wish we can get that Tyler Snead from the Als.

Snead is Dressler 2.0, unfortunately they don't have much use for a shifty little guy that can't block.

He is also a good kick returner in college.

Pigskin

From what I saw yesterday, OM77 will take awhile to get up to speed on the CFL rules. So, I am thinking the Bombers didn't bring him in as a punt returner. But, he does have good hands, and good speed, mite be the next gem at WR.

Like an extended training camp for him for next year. We seem to do this every year with a couple players.

What did you think of Ronnie Blackmon, any chance he gets a shot at returns?
