Nearing the end of the CFL off-season, will the Ottawa Redblacks bring back Canadian receiver Nate Behar?

This past CFL season was tough for the Ottawa Redblacks on all cylinders and in the down year the players didn’t exactly put up the big numbers their used to. Among the players that were found struggling in 2019 was Nate Behar, a Canadian receiver born and raised in London, Ontario.

The London native was drafted 5th overall in the 2017 CFL draft to the Edmonton Eskimos where he was able to spend 2 seasons before coming back to where his career started.

When he was initially drafted into the CFL he was drafted out of Carleton University in Ottawa. As a Raven, Behar made a name for himself in the streets of Ottawa most famously for his hail-mary catch to win the 2014 Panda Game over the Ottawa Gee-Gees. In total, Nate Behar caught 187 passes for 2,577 yards and 21 touchdowns. As mentioned, these numbers earned Behar a ticket to Edmonton to play for the Eskimos.

In Edmonton, the Canadian receiver played 12 games in his rookie year mostly playing special teams getting 4 special teams tackles and no catches. Going without a catch isn’t the best of things for a receiver and was rare for a player drafted in the first round, although after playing with the team for a full season, Behar was put into the offensive system.

After a somewhat disappointing season in 2017, Behar bounced back in his second year in the CFL. He came back to play a full 18 game season, catching 27 passes for 257 yards and his first career touchdown. This season opened eyes as Behar wen into the free agency market unsigned by the Eskimos.

Going un-signed by Edmonton wasn’t the worst thing that could happen for Behar as he was signed by the Ottawa Redblacks where he’d be able to re-unite with his University roommate Justin Howell. Along with coming back to Howell, Behar was back in the city that his professional career started when he played University at Carleton.

As mentioned, the 2019 season didn’t go as planned for both the Redblacks nor Behar. In the 3-15 season, Behar touched the ball just 16 times gaining 169 yards and no touchdowns. Sure, he had a down year but so did the Ottawa Redblacks as a group and you can’t define Nate Behar from that season.

At 25 years old, Behar brings incredible Canadian talent which is great depth behind both Brad Sinopoli and Anthony Coombs. Even-though he had just 169 yards a year ago, I don’t see why he doesn’t come back to Ottawa to bounce back in 2020 with the Ottawa Redblacks.

Ottawa Redblacks sign 3, release George Uko and 5 others

Following the free agency splash the Ottawa Redblacks made by signing a group of talented players on the defensive side of the ball, the front office has slowed down their transactions. Although they haven’t made too many moves, the front office led my general manager Marcel Desjardins have been making moves with an impact this off-season. Of the moves made, the Ottawa Redblacks most recently announced the signing of 3 players as well as releasing of 6 players from last years roster.

Mentioned last week, the Ottawa Redblacks released J.C Beaulieu. In the same group of players Beaulieu was released with was George Uko, Nick McBeath, Julien Laurent, Stephane Nembot, and Kishawn McClain.

Among the group released, George Uko is the most notable.Spending 2 seasons in Ottawa, he was able to rack up 35 defensive tackles, sack the quarterback 3 times and get an interception. Uko will be missed at the defensive tackle position although with the signing of Cleyon Laing the team should be fine on the defensive line.

With the list of cuts, the team also signed a trio of defensive players, one on the defensive line along with a duo of defensive backs. At defensive back they signed, Corey Moore and Lashard Durr while at the defensive line the team added Connor Flagel.

Ottawa Redblacks and Jean-Christophe Beaulieu part ways, Redblacks cut fullback J.C Beaulieu

After hitting free-agency and coming close to the cap, the Ottawa Redblacks cut fullback J.C Beaulieu to create space on the roster as well as free cap space. The long-time CFLer has been a part of two teams, having a 4 year career with the Alouettes and of course a 2 year tenure in Ottawa.

Beaulieu was traded for with Pat Lavoie in the 2018 off-season and has been with the Redblacks since. In the two years he spent here for the Redblacks he carried the ball once for 4 yards as well as catching 33 of 47 targets for 371 yards and 2 touchdowns.

This move made by the Redblacks shouldn’t make too much of an impact on the team as in past seasons Paul LaPolice hasn’t used a fullback in his offensive system, although if he does need or ant one he has both Anthony Gosselin and Gabriel Polan on the roster going into 2020.

The only impact the move could make is what it can do long term, if the Redblacks did this to create cap space; the team could make a move on a free agent in the next days as there is still loads of talent left on the market.

Ottawa Redblacks Joe Walker looks to go from University QB to starting receiver in CFL

In 2019, the Ottawa Redblacks fell to 3-15 and showed clear struggle in the passing game, but with all considered it should be improved come June 12th when the Redblacks face off against the Toronto Argonauts for the season opener.

Since the end of the regular season last year, the Ottawa Redblacks front office led by Marcel Desjardins made sure to fix all of the problems from a year ago. The biggest moves he’s made thus far have been getting an offensive mastermind in Paul LaPolice at head coach, as well as getting Nick Arbuckle at quarterback.

With those two moves, the offense already looks great but the big question for most Redblacks fans is who is our starting receivers. This may be a big worry for most fans, but if you take a look at who we have on our Redblacks roster, there’s not too much to worry about. The 3 big receivers will be R.J Harris, Brad Sinopoli and Anthony Coombs, and behind that you can expect DeVonte Dedmon, and Jerminic Smith to take a bigger roles on the offense as well as some younger guys that we’ve been able to get a hold of this off-season.

Among the young guys the Ottawa Redblacks scouting team have been able to get this off-season is Joe Walker. Walker is a 6 foot 3, 205 pound quarterback turned receiver with a big underdog story, but he may not be an underdog getting a starting position with the Redblacks in the future.

Delaware receiver Joe Walker: WILLIAM BRETZGER, The News Journal

Joe Walker went to the University of Delaware in 2014, started his career strictly as a student. After sitting out 2014, he was back to football the following year in 2015 where he had his freshman eligibility. Listed down as a freshman in 2015, Walker started the season as the backup quarterback behind Blake Rankin although when he got into play i week 2 against Jacksonville he was given the starting position for the remainder of the season. In his freshman season at QB, Walker had 10 starts along with the second half he played in week 2, finishing with over 600 yards on 70 completions; one going for a touchdown. The run first offense didn’t get Walker to throw the ball too often in his freshman year, but he used his athleticism to rush for 400 plus yards and 3 touchdowns.

Using his athleticism is just what he did in University, and that’s why he moved to receiver. After playing quarterback for Delaware for 2 seasons in 2015 and 2016, the coaches were using him as a threat at QB, running back and receiver as in 2017 he was able to complete 51 of 93 passing attempts for over 600 yards and 4 touchdowns which was when he was also running for 276 yards and receiving for 152 yards. The numbers he put up at all 3 spots on the field were awesome and gave the Delaware coaches a decision to make on where he’d play in 2018, but standing at 6 foot 3 they had to put him out wide at receiver.

In 2018, Walker grew into his new position very smoothly catching 34 passes for 670 yards and 4 touchdowns. Joe Walker may have been at receiver but it didn’t stop him from using his football I.Q to throw 2 for 2 along with 120 rushing yards as a dual threat wide receiver.

Unfortunately for Walker’s professional career, he wasn’t drafted to any NFL team; although he was brought in to Chicago for the Chicago Bears training camp last year where he was able to play in a few pre-season games catching 4 passes for 23 yards. He got action in the pre-season but his play wasn’t enough for the Bears to keep so he was cut shortly after the pre-season. This stint with the Bears was his only professional opportunity other than a few practices with the XFL’s D.C Defenders where he was cut on January 22nd. He may have been cut by NFL and XFL teams, but that didn’t give a reason for the Redblacks not to give him a chance going into the CFL season in June.

Joe Walker at Bears training camp: Chicago Bears

On February 18th, the Redblacks signed a list of 10 players, on the list was 24 year old receiver from Delaware Joe Walker. With a clear opening at the receiver position in Ottawa, Walker will have the chance to play on their 46- man roster come June 12th when they play the Toronto Argonauts at home for the CFL season opener. Before he can do that, he has to go through the Ottawa Redblacks training camp where he has to prove what he’s all about. With that being said, if you’re planning on coming to Ottawa during training camp, look out for Joe Walker at receiver.

Ottawa Redblacks reveal final names on coaching staff

After tough seasons in the CFL, it’s important to get rid of the old and get with the new so you can have a fresh start for the next season. Having a fresh start is exactly what the Ottawa Redblacks have done following their 3-15 season a year ago. All starting with head coach Rick Campbell leaving, and Paul LaPolice coming in, general manager Marcel Desjardins made sure to have the best coaching staff heading into 2020.

Up to CFL free agency, the Ottawa Redblacks had on their staff head coach (offensive coordinator) Paul LaPolice, defensive coordinator Mike Benevides, returning special teams coach Bob Dyce, offensive line coach Bob Wylie, defensive backs coach Greg Knox, running backs coach Charlie Eger, wide receivers coach Alex Suber, and quarterbacks coach Steve Walsh but just 2 weeks following the opening of CFL free agency when things started to slow down, the team announced a few more additions to the staff.

As most coaches do when building a coaching staff, Paul LaPolice was admit on bringing in coaches with familiarity like Alex Suber, who played for LaPolice, Charlie Eger who has helped coach LaPolice in Blue Bomber training camps, Bob Wylie who was the offensive line coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders as well as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers where he was coaching on the same staff as Paul LaPolice, and all of the coaches staying with the Redblacks. Creating familiarity around the staff is what has continued for Paul LaPolice and Marcel Desjardins as they add three to the coaching staff this week, one being Patrick Bourgon who has with the Redblacks from 2013-2015 as the Defensive/Offensive assistant. In 2020, Bourgon will come back to TD Place to help coach both Bob Dyce and Greg Knox as the special teams and defensive back assistant coach.

As well as adding Patrick Bourgon back to the Ottawa Redblacks coaching staff, the team also brought in Carey Bailey and Chris Tormey to help coach the defensive side of the football. By coaching the defense, Bailey will be coaching the defensive line while Tormey coaches the linebacking core.

Of the two coaches, Tormey has the most CFL experience, given that Bailey has just the 2019 season with the Argonauts behind him. With the experience behind him, Chris Tormey has been able to coach in the CFL for Montreal Alouettes, B.C Lions and most recently the Saskatchewan Roughriders coaching the linebackers, which is what he’ll be going into with the Ottawa Redblacks in 2020.

Like mentioned before, Tormey has the most CFL experience of the newcomers, although Carey Bailey did spend the 2019 CFL season with the Toronto Argonauts coaching the defensive line. In Toronto last season, Bailey coached Cleyon Laing, who is the most advertised signing for the Ottawa Redblacks this off-season, and considering Laing got his hands on CFL quarterbacks 7 times in 2019, Bailey could have a great season coaching the Redblacks defensive line.

Now that free agency is now behind us, and the coaching staff has been named things will be coming together fairly quick, and the Redblacks will have all eyes on training camp where the Ottawa Redblacks will have competition at all positions.

A look in on the 2020 Ottawa Redblacks defense, does Ottawa have the best front 7 in the CFL?

Last season, the Ottawa Redblacks struggled on both sides of the football, only generating 3 wins, but out of all of the struggles, getting to the QB wasn’t at the top of the list. In 2019’s CFL season, the Ottawa Redblacks totaled for 32 sacks, and that was all done in a down year.

After the season concluded the Redblacks made sure to bring back the key pieces to the defensive front 7. They re-signed Avery Williams, Danny Mason, Michael Wakefield, George Uko, Avery Ellis, Kevin Brown and Ettore Lattanzio as they did sign Cleyon Laing, Don Unamba, and Christophe Mulamba.

With the Redblacks re-signing and bringing back all of these big names to the Redblacks defense, they will also be getting some big pieces back from injuries they faced last season.

In the 2019 season, the Redblacks found out just how good their linebacking core could be with Avery Williams leading the pack and last year’s rookie Jerod Fernandez showed to have the same potential. The linebackers from a year ago went straight to the offensive backfield everytime they played together, but this year with a few veteran additions, they could be at the top of the league going after quarterbacks.

  • Unamba hit a career-high in tackles with 59 in 2018 (Johany Jutras/CFL.ca)

Here below is the estimated defensive depth chart for the Redblacks come pre-season, and seen on it is a lot of talent, staring Avery Ellis, Michael Wakefield, Cleyon Laing, Danny Mason and Avery Williams. The talent will come together and produce a better season than the past season, and stay tuned for big plays coming from the defensive line and linebackers in 2020.

Who on the Ottawa Redblacks offense and defense will surprise you in 2020?

In 2019, the Redblacks struggled on both sides of the football and in a consequence, they finished 3-15 and at the bottom of the CFL’s standings. Since the final regular season game on November 1st, the Redblacks front office has been able to bring in a solid number of players and coaches, although seen from a year ago, there is plenty of talent in Ottawa. The talent that has been brought in and the talent that has already been in Ottawa will be set to work this coming May for training camp, but ahead of camp you have the chance to look over the roster and look at who can turn the record around from a year ago.

Coming off a 3-15 season, there isn’t too much to smile about, although in the 2019 CFL season, the Ottawa Redblacks did surprisingly have a lot of bright spots. Not only did the team find a few bright spots from a year ago, the spots will only get brighter as the future comes.

DeVonte Dedmon

Dedmon was mostly used as the Ottawa Redblacks’ return specialist, although in 2020 his role is set to expand.

https://twitter.com/DeVonte_Dedmon/status/1225596481828159490

In 2019, Dedmon played just 5 games for the Redblacks, but before his first career game in week 6 at Winnipeg, DeVonte Dedmon took the field at TD Place in the pre-season.

As one of the players Marcel Desjardins and the front office discovered, Dedmon took special teams and offensive snaps in Ottawa’s pre-season opener vs Hamilton. Unlike a lot of the others playing in the game, Dedmon proved to the Redblacks that he was worth sticking around. Dedmon made the whole city of Ottawa cheer for him as he ran down the sidelines at TD Place for a 100 yard kick-off return touchdown. Other than the touchdown scored, Dedmon had just one catch for 38 yards. His pre-season stint unfortunately was cut short due to significant injuries which are still in his presence.

He didn’t get to finish up the pre-season with the Redblacks, nor did he play the first 4 games of the 2019 season, but the Ottawa Redblacks brought Dedmon back as soon as he was healthy. On July 19th, Dedmon took the field at Investors group field in Winnipeg where he helped the struggle full Redblacks offense get good field position. In his CFL debut, Dedmon returned 7 punts and 5 kick-offs for a total of 191 yards with a long of a 34 yard kick return. Although he averaged just 15 yards a return, his debut wasn’t even close to what he was able to accomplish throughout the season.

His 12 returns in his CFL debut are just a small piece to his 42 career touches worth 929 all-purpose yards along with 2 return touchdowns from his week 8 monster game in Montreal.

At just 23 years old, Dedmon showed Redblacks fans all that in a span of just 5 games, now in 2020, R-Nation will be able to see 24 year old DeVonte Dedmon showcase his talent on offense and special teams in 18 games. Stay tuned…

DeAndre Farris

DeAndre Farris, who played 14 games for the Ottawa Redblacks a year ago is around the top of the list of guys coming back to the defense in 2020, and at 23 years old the best is yet to come for him.

Last year the Redblacks defense were fought by the injury bug, and one key piece to the defense in Jonathan Rose, but the team didn’t lose a beat having DeAndre Farris in their defensive backfield.

23 year old Farris has so much potential in being a top cornerback in the CFL, although he may need a season or two more to be proven.

In 2019 Farris made 45 tackles, while getting his first career interception. The interception from a year ago is proven to be the first of many as in the 14 games he put together multiple pass breakups. Looking into 2020, the Ottawa Redblacks are set to see what Farris has in store for the future as he sits at 23 years old, there is much day light left in his career and the Redblacks could have the next big name defensive back on the team right now!

Ottawa Redblacks receiver situation, Wesley Lewis taking on bigger role?

Last season, the Ottawa Redblacks went 3-15 and showed struggle in the pass game. Going through three starting quarterbacks throwing for a total of just 4,310 yards. Many believe the quarterbacks struggled last season because they didn’t have good enough receivers, although with Marcel Desjardins being asked about his receivers during free agency and responding with, “We’re not going to invest a lot of money in receivers, (Paul LaPolice) hasn’t done that in other places he’s been. We have invested enough (in Brad Sinopoli and RJ Harris) and we added a piece with Anthony Coombs who is brought in as a receiver not a running back. We also can’t forget a guy like DeVonte Dedmon who showed a small window of what he can do and could be a key piece moving forward as can be a few young pieces we have on the roster.” (Marcel Desjardins on TSN 1200 on February 12th)

Of the young receivers Desjardins had spoke about is Wesley Lewis, a wide receiver that spent the 2019 season here with the Redblacks and is set to prove himself on the professional level.

Sitting at 25 years old, Lewis has just the one season with the Redblacks behind him, but ahead of his professional days, he has a lot of University football experience in his background.

The now 25 year old played 5 seasons of NCAA football between both Angelo State University (2017) and Houston Baptist University (2013-16). In the 5 seasons, Lewis used his height to win 50/50 balls over defensive backs and safeties. Standing tall at 6’6 225 lbs, Lewis got the chance to catch the football 89 times over 5 years for a grand total of 1,185 yards and 8 touchdowns.

Unfortunately, Lewis’ numbers in University didn’t get him into any NFL training camps, although one year past his draft year, he was signed by the Ottawa Redblacks. With this being his only opportunity in his professional career thus far, he was admit on making a good first impression. Making a first impression was tough for him as he was only thrown the ball twice the whole pre-season and he caught one of the two passes for 30 yards. The one catch showed Redblacks coaches and scouts enough to keep him around on the practice squad and thats what they had done.

Lewis spent the majority of the 2019 CFL season on the Redblacks practice squad, although he was also able to dress 6 games, making 2 receptions for 17 yards.

He may not have the prettiest numbers thus far in his CFL career, but standing at 6’6 Wesley Lewis has the opportunity to be a big piece to the Ottawa Redblacks offensive system in 2020.

Dominique Rhymes and Caleb Holley sign with Lions, is SFU’s Rysen John the Ottawa Redblacks’ top draft prospect?

The Ottawa Redblacks in 2019 had one receiver go over 1,000 yards, and for the Redblacks, that is below expectations. In years 2015 and 2016 the team had 4 receivers go over 1,000 yards and in 2018 they had 3 go over the one-thousand yard mark. That receiver to go over 1,000 yards in 2019 was Dominique Rhymes. Yesterday, Dominique Rhymes was signed by the B.C Lions, as they did with Redblacks receiver Caleb Holley.

Holley and Rhymes combined for over 1,500 yards a year ago on the Ottawa Redblacks offense and in the down year were big pieces to the offensive system. With Holley and Rhymes now out of the city, Ottawa is left with both R.J Harris and Brad Sinopoli who have been huge for the team in the past two seasons along with DeVonte Dedmon, Jerminic Smith, Rafael Araujo-Lopes, Wesley Lewis and free agent signee Anthony Coombs. Outside of both Harris and Sinopoli, the other Redblacks listed totaled for 219 yards on 20 receptions.

Although the group didn’t have much production a year ago, theres a good possibility they come together and put on a show in 2020 with Paul LaPolice as the offensive coordiantor.

Yes they can have good seasons in 2020, but them having 1,000 yard seasons isn’t expected, and with Redblacks GM Marcel Desjardins already speaking out about the situation at the receiver position, it sounds and looks like the team will not go out and sign another receiver through free agency. When you look at the ways to get a receiver, the only 3 options are trades, free agency and draft. With the CFL not being the biggest league of trades and the Redblacks practically giving up on free agency, it looks like the Ottawa Redblacks have all eyes on the CFL draft coming up on April 30th.

April 30th is still a long ways away, but it’s not early enough to look at Rysen John who cold be the next big name in Ottawa. With the Redblacks biggest need on paper sitting at the receiver position, it wouldn’t be such a bad idea for the team to draft one in the early rounds of the draft. The CFL isn’t exactly known for having the best prospects in the drafts, although the pieces added in the first few rounds of the CFL drafts typically become big pieces to each team’s puzzles for years to come.

Once the month of April comes, the Redblacks should have their eyes on wide receiver Rysen John from Simon Fraser University. SFU is the only NCAA division 2 school in Canada in British Columbia, and Rysen John from Vancouver, BC was able to play at the NCAA level just 30 minutes from home.

Playing at the NCAA level has been a difficult place to get to for many Canadian athletes, but for John his 6’7 height advantage in unbelievable for the receiver position. Standing at 6’7 he has had a huge height advantage over all defensive backs in his university days.

Wide receiver Rysen John had two touchdown catches on the day. (Photo courtesy of SFU Athletics)

In his senior season at SFU, Rysen John caught 53 passes for 861 yards and 10 touchdowns in just 9 games. These stats earned himself a spot in the Hula Bowl NCAA all star game in Honolulu Hawaii. Ahead of the all-star game, he was able to talk to NFL scouts and he is now being looked at by NFL and CFL teams. If Rysen John doesn’t get picked up by an NFL team, I would not be surprised if Marcel Desjardins and the Ottawa Redblacks end up drafting him at 6th overall in this years CFL draft on April 30th.
