Where is our #1 draft pick? Let the kid play already.

He remains the Riders’ DC.

Maybe a better question should be, will he play this season?

It is reasonable to assume Chris will hit the field
at some point real soon to prove his surehandedness
as he has been on the active roster the last 2 games.

He is not on the active roster to play Special Teams.
He is not known for his downfield tackling abilities.

I don't think the coaching staff thinks Chris's height
and leaping ability alone create 'unstopppableness.'

They must feel, though, that his route running
has developed adequately enough to back up
at wide receiver and he could play if needed.

If you would listen to the coach for a change , he said Bauman hasnt played special teams before and thats what he would have to do to play . Taffe said hes getting better but needs more time .

I think he`d be very good at sideline patterns where a DB would have to get around that huge frame to get to the ball .

I hope our 1st overall next year gets to start :frowning:

As for our number 1 pick he is not even dressing. According to a recent Spec article Bauman has to work on catching the ball, excellerating after the catch and running proper routes( his own words)

Marcel says he is not built for special teams. Seems we are getting nothing out of this pick.

Well DAMN :?

We have 2 "Ticat licence plates" in our household...

One is ...06 TC 17 (Williams ?)

the other is...07 TC 87 (Bauman ?)

"Luck of the draw" when you buy your plates :roll:

…by making this statement you must think Chang will be playing at this point? :roll:

…I know, that was a horrible shot…but how many of you are either smiling or thinking about the reality?

:cowboy:

Andy Fantuz didn't start last season on the Saskatchewan roster either.

Yeah, he did. He was often used a 5th or 4th receiver and showed alot of upside, and greatly helped out the Canadian - American ratio.

Wasn’t that later in the season?
Wait, I’ll check the 'Riders website.

Okay, he dressed for all games, but didn’t start until week 10, and didn’t have his first catch until week 5.
I stand somewhat corrected.
