Player Awards

[Sir Blue and Gold]

It's too bad that Singer was shelved for Corcoran and Cobb and the merry band of super duper (exciting!) Canadian receivers for half the season or he'd be in contention and probably is the most talented new player we've got, with Williams not far behind.

Otherwise for me it's something like this:

Outstanding player- Evan Holm
Canadian- Jaylen Smith
Special teams- Trey Vaval
Defensive Player- Evan Holm
Offensive lineman- Broxton
Rookie-Major Williams

Sounds like TSN cutting back further on their commitment to promoting the CFL.

Nah, it's just the Johnston factor. They did it already with the hof inductees. It's to make the whole process more social media like with short clips of the gotcha moments.

People like the awkwardness and spontaneity of some buddy telling the guy they won, on camera of course.

Meh. I think it cheapens it all, but I get it. It's ok. Gotta put on MORE Show! And draw in the kidz theze dayz...

Clearly Castillo and Williams will get some votes.

Williams appears to be relatively unknown around the rest of the league, more commonly mentioned for MOR are Argos receiver Tyler Kahmann or BC WIL Parker McKenna as the leading candidates.

Castillo is hot butt this season.  2 makeable misses in just this game?  And several kickers now looking better even on the 50+ range.

If I can get a K tomorrow, it's that EDM guy.  That guy is the next Money Medlock.

You're complaining about missing 55 and 56 yard FG's?

Doesn't the coach ask Castillo after the warm ups what distance he is good from? Up to Castillo to be honest and up to MOS if he believes him. I would start believing him less.

Anything over 50 is a 50/50 FG. Catillo is better than most at that distance, but he's not infallable.

Well, yes, when it costs us TDs or huge returns against.  And Castillo missed a 50 or under in this game, I'm pretty sure.  Cost us huge.

He was the best once you factored in big-distance do-or-die kicks, but not anymore.  That EDM guy and Maltos and heck even short-only Parades are now better.  If Castillo wants to kick for us next year, he needs to take a cut.  He's up there with Whyte for $$$ when he needs to be lower like Maltos and the EDM guy.

The 'Edmonton guy" is Vincent Blanchard, a NAT kicker no less !!

I agree. I also question the coaching decisions to try these long FG's. It's great when you make them but IIRC we've given up 2 missed FG returns for TD's?

Improve the offence so you can continue drives and not need to kick so many FG's.

O'Shea has become more reliant on those long FG's, 3 years ago he rarely gambled on the +55 mainly because the offence was more effective. He should at least have Holm somewhere on the field when kicking 50+ FG's.
