Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on August 11, 2026, 06:43:04 PMI know you know this but passing plays aren't called based on the receiver depth chart. Singer's speed would add another dimension and you'd be able to call plays with him being the first read that you can't with Cobb or Corcoran or whatever. I get it that we do have three good receivers on the field most downs but I still like giving Condell more options. He's sure boxed into a corner this year and does the defense reallllllly need another rotational piece?

I guess I just don't know if he's that guy. We haven't been successful at deep shots and I'm not sure if the reason is Wilson or White aren't fast enough.
My wife is amazing!

Wilson and White are great and if had one more of them on the game day roster I think it would make a difference. We need to score points because if JY can't stop BCs third stringer he's not going to stop anyone.  The game that Wilson went down basically tied us in knots and the defense isn't going to win us anything this year. We can't afford to play the position on a razers edge at 4-4.

Quote from: dd on August 11, 2026, 06:57:06 PMThe only way Singer see's the field is if either Wilson or White get injured.

At worst he could be used in rotation. It doesn't take an injury to have that happen.

Whether he's added to the roster we'll see, but I'm guessing an import gets added on defence.

The 5th receiver comes out when Clercius, Daniels or MC take the field, that could be Singer or Cobb.

How is it we are the only team that hasn't signed a play released from another cfl team this year?
  Walters and OShea doing their Ostrich impressions?

Pretty sure we added Dru Brown...

Dru wasnt released or cut, in terms of players we should have had interest in include
Martez Ivey, Mcgloster on the oline Ruffin Houston or Henderson are candidates as well

Ivey's currently sitting on the Lions' practice roster and McGloster's been a free agent since February began. Do you seriously think either would help on the O-line?
Houston was here for part of last season; we all saw how that went. He's now a year older. He was released by the winless RedBlacks along with Henderson. Would either of them be a difference maker in the secondary?

I'm all for upgrading talent but it could be argued the players you listed don't actually accomplish that goal.
It's craptacular.

I don't see how cast offs from other teams can help move our team forward, they've been cut for a reason.  Players have to know your system and playbook to help you, and those of marginal talent aren't worth the investment of time and possible disruption within your own clubhouse bringing in castoffs.

No one releases any player of value.  OTT has cut some vets because their season is over.  And I'd look at Gino, but I bet he has a high ask and is waiting for a big player to go down to get it.

PR or never signeds are not going to improve our team.

That's what scouts are for, and why we have players on the PR developing.

Any unsigned players we have already considered and passed on.

Trading for Dru made sense, and bore fruit.

Trading with an OTT for another player they can't resign might be an option.

According to the BB Facebook page, Kornelson was just released, along with American DB Matthew Jackson.

Oliveria didn't practice much again this week!!! 

We moved Novak to the PR which suggests Clark will be added to the AR from the 6 game IR. Hazen added to the AR. O'Shea loves his LB's. OTOH, he didn't have many other choices.

Yeah thought Clark would come on.  Anyone watch to see how much reps he gets on D or teams? Making plays?

thats assuming that the cast offs arent better than what we have. The way Bryant has played Im not sure that getting someone that another team has released isnt a better option.
Its an issue that we dont bring in some options when we are struggling at various positions. BC signed Ivy for insurance, could Amari Henderson help us, who knows but continuing to stand pat isnt the answer
