Thanks, CardiacKid. I don't want a press pass. This is my vacation.CardiacKid wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 9:56 amHey BC Fan,
Many thanks for the in-depth reporting, do you have a press pass? If you don't, you should.
I am very curious as to how camp has gone for AJ Orange and Marcel Young. Do you think Orange will turn out to be a shut-down corner as you say? The guy had a good year with the Argos in 2016 but just atrocious in Ottawa in 2017. Maybe the name change is a reflection of a change in his play?!?!
I got to admit I thought his signing was essentially that of a guy brought in to compete and ultimately be let go in the final round of cuts. I would be very happy to see him have a season of redemption.
I knew very little of Marcel Young and still do, I know some EE fans were not especially sad to see him go but you got take that with a grain of salt.
I am trying to shake that "glass half empty" side of my personality when it comes to the secondary. Not having the easiest time of it so any positive feedback from a Lionbacker in the know is great.
I didn't know much about Orange and Young before camp but they've been impressive. The first-team secondary has done a great job shutting down the first-team offence and not allowing Manny Arceneaux or Bryan Burnham to get open over the middle. Most completions in scrimmages have been within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Shaq Johnson and Tyler Davis have had success on the outside but for the most part the corners have been quick to break on the ball.
It's great to see the defence play tight coverage and not drop into soft zones. There is a lot of size and talent on that side of the ball.
