Glad McAdoo is back to coach this group!

Great hearing what the Position Coaches are saying about their own groups.

Great insight, that many teams won't even allow for. The position coaches opinions are held as deal breakers/makers when it comes to the makeup of any team with good coaches.

I think Coach Mac will be great for the young guys, and he can grow this group.

As it stands, Blake is likely the Center; especially if Bladek or Shane Richards show up ready, but it seems they'd rather get a Center and play Blake at his comfortable spot inside at guard.

You can hear how under-rated Blake has been in the CFL, after likely being a little over-rated out of college.

Maybe they can get an American that will stabilize that line at Center, but you want a vet (or a really savvy rook) to go in there with confidence and a great knowledge of Canadian ball.

They are calling the defences, so they have to recognize them. As it stands, I predict Blake is the Center this year.

I wonder if there is any chance that the team is really high on Karlos Williams, for example, and run blocking ability becomes a major consideration for the OL. McAdoo's summary emphasizes body type / position fit over skill set, so it's hard to tell.
