Re: 2013 Season - Official Transactions Thread

Looking at the Esks stats page, I notice that we avg. 9.2 yards per punt return and only give up 8.5 per opposition return. Likewise with kickoffs, we average 21.9 yards per return and only give up 20.3. Our net punting & kickoffs are about the same as teams we oppose. We are not giving up any field position via special teams.

Fair enough...but that also depends on how deep the kicks are going. I haven't seen Shaw boom those kickoffs as much as he did before.

I think they see O'Donnell as a longer term solution at RT, and decided to keep Louis as Coleman's backup. With Lang coming off IR, Brown was expendable

I think they are still looking for someone to supplant Henry, or at least have added depth in case of injury

I am not sure why they want to replace Henry. All the guy does is anything the team asks of him He is a very good blocker and has deceptive speed and decent hands. A reliable receiver and from what I have heard a great team mate.

I think they would like someone more explosive
