I'd have to say Gore as well.

Johnson was released last year shortly after coming back from his arm injury. The Lions liked the size of Ernest Jackson better. Johnson was picked up by Saskatchewan. He's still on their roster heading into training camp.

Threw my vote at Moore. Sliding into Geroy's short side slot position. Gets the most looks IMO.

No votes thus far for Andrew Harris.

Interesting.

Not sure I expected him to get some votes or necessarily want him to get votes (as it means we're not stretching the field), but he was only 2 yards behind Shawn Gore last year who had the most receiving yards on the club.

It could be argued that Harris leading the team in receiving means that Travis isn't getting the protection he needs, as the dump pass in some cases becomes his only hope for positive yardage.

Seems a good time to bring up this early poll as we can now see how it all panned out and see how off or on the predictions were .

Thanks, pennw. Here are the final team receiving stats (receptions and yards). I got Moore right but I would not have predicted that Anton McKenzie would have more receiving yards as a Lion than Akeem Foster, who was catching everything in training camp.

MOORE 73 1105
ARCENEAUX 51 885
TAYLOR 61 774
GORE 47 552
HARRIS, A 61 513
IANNUZZI 24 244
WILLIAMS 7 112
JACKSON 10 97
HAIDARA 4 40
JACKSON 4 32
LOGAN 2 17
BROWN 2 15
MCKENZIE 1 12
FOSTER 1 11
LUMBALA 2 -1

Stats sort of show how the season went on for this offence.

So, Lumbala had two catches for minus one yard! OUCH!

Manny had some exciting catches but they didn't add up to as many yards as I thought they would.....

Thanks pennw for resurrecting this thread. I actually dug it up yesterday, but got distracted and had to abandon my post.

Congratulations to the 3(!) Lionbackers who picked Nick Moore. Kudos to Blitz who's had faith in Moore from the get-go.

I hope we can re-sign him.
