Now we really need Schram and Riley to step up and be our depth...

They were all rated by 3DownNation in their top 25 & 2 of them were in the top 20 Final Rankings by the CFL. Only 1 other OL made that list & he went 4th. With the sudden retirement of Jake Bennett who cost us a 3rd rounder this year, we are again desperately thin at backup Nationals. Schram has never started & St John has been rejected 3 times in his career & is back for a 2nd go round here. That DB we got is probably not beating out Edem or Bouka & certainly not the imports there. ST at best.

My beef with really tall players is this - generally @ 6'5" you gotta be a good receiver because they're generally not good on ST's. That's the reason Bailey was kicked out of Edmonton - one trick pony. A lot of good returners are smaller, have a lower centre of gravity. Rainey, Terry Williams, Charles Nelson are all in the 5'8" range. So they have an advantage against tall guys because of leverage. Not to mention unlike LB,'s who everyone wants on ST's, know how to tackle. So, if you don't make it as a receiver you're likely moving down the road. Don't be surprised if one of the tall guys we selected on our 1st 2 picks last year are gone this year. That's assuming we have a season. SeeSeeRidernoreply@blogger.com
