Neufeld is a huge weak link. He is a natural tackle miscast as a guard. Some guys make that transition, many don't. This is a huge pet peeve of mine in the CFL, the draft/sign/trade for the guy with the tackle build/skills, if he struggles at tackle he can play guard. That's a 50-50 play IMO and pretty ignorant in regards to the requirements of the different spots on the line. Not a lot of former OL in front offices. Neufeld's shown little in terms of being able to play at any kind of reasonable level consistently. His best stretch of games was at the start of 2014 at right tackle with an American at right guard.
At least the other guys are young. Anyone who can snap the ball to the QB in a timely fashion and at least get in somebody's way is better than Picard. I wasn't a big fan of Bryant's play last season either. I was mildly surprised when he was extended, but it's likely they cut his base pay in exchange for some upfront money tacked onto the 2015 cap. Our OL needs help badly. I'll be disappointed if they don't start the season with 3 imports on the line. There aren't any Canadians available in free agency who are anything but jersey fillers and no one really in the draft that will be available right away on the line.
Also, "QB without great arm strength" Willy?
You thought Marve had a gun, but Willy is lacking?
Willy can drop a pass 60 yards down the field right into a spot. Even Burris can't do that. Willy's got about as good of an arm on both sides of the coin, strength and accuracy, that you're going to find in the CFL. Hopefully he gets a chance to make some reads this year without having to pick snaps off his cleats and then scramble away from a 3 technique or nose who walked through Picard and Neufeld untouched.
