Is this a joke: Cory Boyd Released

[AngeloV]

I wanted to keep Boyd too, but the problem was he was a poor blocker and supposedly not very good receiving out of the backfield (which I disagree with). It seems with the success of the Als under Trestman, other teams started going with the "all around" scatback types. Hence why Hugh Charles was even starting over Boyd and Messam in Edmonton.

Boyd had good hands, but was slow in making his first move after catching the ball. If you hit him on the move he was dangerous, but from a stand still position, not as good as most backs.

Cornish and Messam are the same when it comes to receiving IMO, and they've had some pretty solid careers. Boyd's issue IMO is that he struggled with blocks.
