WitP: RGM

The BC Lions take on the Edmonton Eskimos at 3pm HST today. However, Ryan Grice-Mullen will not be starting.

...and Rufus Skillern substituting for slippery-fingered wideout Ryan Grice-Mullen. In the case of Stith and Grice-Mullen, the changes represent a complete reversal of the party line espoused in training camp.

Grice-Mullen was lauded as the speed merchant who could relieve the coverage pressure on Geroy Simon. But the Dreadhead’s slow recovery from a hamstring injury was a red flag that Grice-Mullen’s hands, as well as his hammies, weren’t yet up to game speed.

He should see some playing time regardless, and he may even get his starting job back next week.

As for the speedy Grice-Mullen, Buono said: “Our expectations of Ryan are high. We want him to be a big player for us. Right now, it’s a one-week thing. We want to put on the field players we have confidence in.”
