Drew Edwards ?@scratchingpost 5m5 minutes ago #TIcats move @Mr513RicoMurray to boundary corner, Johnny Sears to halfback. Ed Gainey out. #Als#CFL
Drew Edwards ?@scratchingpost 4m4 minutes ago #Ticats@CButler28 back on the roster but @DalyNews8 gets start at safety. Likely easing Butler back in (& Daly has played great.) #Als#CFL
Drew Edwards ?@scratchingpost 4m4 minutes ago #Ticats DE @AGN45 back on the roster as well. Omara, Ellefsen & Gainey off. #Als#CFL
I think it's a good move. Gainey wasn't terribly effective on the corner, Sears is good as a HB when healthy, and heck Rico Murray can probably play every position well (okay, maybe not QB or kicker. . . )
Murray and Stewart matched up probably (someone can correct me if I’m wrong) against their top receiver Green. Murray should be okay but I think Green got the best of Stewart a time or two last season.
Breaux Show has mostly been replaced (so far this season) by committee although Washington certainly did a great job before he was injured.
With Butler, Sears Jr. and Gascon Nadon coming in and Gainey, Omara and Ellefesen coming out,
We are fielding a much deeper and better Defensive lineup than last game! :thup:
In the words of the modern philosopher Obie, "Better is Better"
Mike Daly is having an impressive season, and has a LOT of promise, but Craig Butler is the true QB of the Defence. He is better in coverage (better DB skills), plays multiple positions (dropped down to SAM LB for a game or 2), and simply has more experience reading Offences.
When Daly gets that experience, he WILL become an EXTREMELY dangerous Safety. He’s “only” VERY dangerous right now… lol
