Some of us, myself included, are starting to feel a little better about the Als QB situation. While perhaps a little early to get too excited, let’s assume it will no longer be the major issue with the team.
Nevertheless we are still far removed from being an elite CFL team. In my humble opinion the following are still required for us to hope to get there. Kavis’ interview with the Edmonton reporter has to be taken with a huge grain of salt.
2 WRs - at least one being a burner
1 DE - perhaps 2 as Bowman is winding down
2DBs - guys who can play man coverage and challenge receivers
1 SAM LB - despite his best efforts it is not hard to see Chip Cox has reached the end of the line
1 Returner
These are Internationals, which really should be easier to find than Nationals.
Whether Kavis, Mack, Lande can find these guys is a whole other topic.
You left out head coach. If we get a new GM over him, and two new coordinators under him, he’d have to go as well.
I’m increasing coming to the opinion that it’s the scouting (read lack thereof) that is the central problem here. Looking at how weak our D line is, how mediocre our receiving corps is, and how poor the secondary is, it is clear that we are deficient in this area. Whatever possessed Reed into thinking that hiring Joe Mack was a good idea is beyond me.
DE is on my shopping list, but I don`t think Knapton is an answer. He has now had 2 mediocre seasons in a row. My personal observation is that he lacks agility.
Herb Zurkowsky?
