Anecdote instead of data, but Brett Keisel played special teams before he was a starter, including kickoff coverage, think he was largely busting wedge and the like. But hey, a defensive end on teams other than field goal block.Bosoxen said:I'm not sure that I recall a whole lot of defensive ends playing special teams.

He was too small to play DE and too slow to switch to LB. I'm not sure he was slow for a defensive lineman.reggiecleveland said:Wasn't he kind of slow for the NFL? I am not sure how that will translate to the CFL.
A source told Zurkowsky that Sam left the team after "pouting" due to his poor play in camp. Another source said the chances of Sam returning to Montreal were "nonexistent." Details for the reasoning behind those comments were vague but focused largely on Sam being ill-prepared for camp and taking issue with comments from a teammate about his disappointing play.
