VANCOUVER — The BC Lions announced on Wednesday that they have acquired National running back Jeshrun Antwi in a trade deadline deal with the Montreal Alouettes. In exchange, Montreal will receive the Lions’ third-round pick in next year’s CFL Draft.
So does this mean Thomas Erlington is now Fletcher’s main back up or do we see Scott or Herzog up from the practice roster? Dicey move to make. Antwi was also a bonus on special teams.
He was also a liability on coverage teams. He has the most penalties + penalty yards for a special teams player (outside of punters)
| Team | Player Name (#) | Pen. | Pen. Yrd. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edmonton Elks | Jake Julien (#9) | 6 | 45 | 2x Punt OoB / 2x Time Count Violation / Blocking Below The Waist |
| Montreal Alouettes | Jeshrun Antwi (#20) | 4 | 45 | Offside on Punt / Ill. Block on Ret. / Unnecessary Rougness / No Yards |
| Hamilton Tiger Cats | Carthell Flowers-Lloyd #43) | 4 | 40 | Penalty removed a ST Tackle / 3x Holding on Ret. / Objectionable Content |
| Calgary Stampeders | George Idoko (#47) | 3 | 40 | 2 x No Yards / Hold on Return |
| Ottawa Redblacks | Alonzo Addae (#20) | 3 | 40 | Illegal Interference on Loose Ball / 2x No Yards |
| Saskatchewan Roughriders | Melique Straker (#28) | 3 | 38 | Unnecessary Roughness / No Yards / Hold on Return |
| Saskatchewan Roughriders | Adam Korsak (#10) | 3 | 35 | 2 Punt OoB / Facemask |
Not dicey at all. STE was already Fletcher’s main backup in recent weeks. Not really any point dressing two Canadian running backs when we start an American at the position. Herzog may dress, but most likely, Theo Grant will be activated from the PR to provide an additional backup OL. Scott will stay put, I’m pretty sure.
Their big problem is at qb because they don’t really know which one to play. It wasn’t broken so they decided to fix it…
