All Activity

You aren’t going to get what I’d call a fair shake here, they’re looking for something beyond or in addition to “can you play football at a high level” and I don’t really know if we can say what it is at this point.

No doubt we’re getting a reputation, sure we have a good team, great fans, but if you were a young baller and you had the chance to go to Winnipeg or another team that’s won multiple grey cups like Toronto, which team do you choose? Probably the team that will give you the opportunity to make the roster and make a name for yourself.

Wait did Zach Davis make the team?

Plus Trey Vaval made the club, who looked pretty good on returns, and ... cool neck tattoos

Yeah that was my point. Weitz didn't make it over Munier Bailey. He will be put on IR

Well they signed a pretty big number of free agents. Although all of those guys probably don’t deserve to make the team, like Stearns I personally don’t see a need/fit for. Mitchell has a track record so you’re hoping he can be the 1300 yard pace guy. White looked good to me in the home game. Also pretty good number of guys going into year 2. Like say a Wheatfall. I hope his pre-season dominance carries over…QBs seem to love him. I don’t think we want a pile of rookies starting…really searching for the depth to fill in when needed and take spots maybe next year when some others need to get paid. It’s easy for the rookies to look good because it’s like meeting someone for the first time…you see all the good and upside. We know the warts on the old guys and the excitement is gone. But not the best barometer for long-term success.

Shockingly, K. Carey was released by the Argos. If I may, I would like to change my pick to T. White (Ham.)

There’s definitely some shuffling to be done, injured lists will come out at some point … gotta imagine one of, if not both, of Person/Bailey are on the roster week 2.

The best rookies from camp may not have made the active roster but Cooley, Woodbey, Cam Allen, and Jay Person were our best new players and they all stuck around on the PR. They'll probably get their shot on the active roster at some point.

Last time we had a week 1 bye we swapped out half our DL and receivers of the guys who “made the team.”

One rookie cracked the lineup? Moose players are in awe of that stat 🤣

Won’t make changes for injured lists until later in the week.

I would genuinely love for someone in the media to ask why we spend all offseason recruiting American players to have one rookie crack our active roster. I know that’s an oversimplification but man … it’s gotta be frustrating for the front office. Backup DB/returner is all you see from all your efforts during the offseason? Sure, things will change as the season goes on but woof.

Does Osh use that.

Aren't we able to play an American over Lawson and crew for 49% of the snaps with Willie Jefferson qualifying as a Nationalized American?

No receivers really stood out tho. Perhaps recruiting sucks. Sterns if nothing else has cfl experience. The scouting budget took a hit no and we lost a few of our regulars. Perhaps it showed there.

Thanks I hate it

Sterns is going into his third year and is a jag. I see no upside there. Why are we see wedded to shifty Canadian DTs?

So… Brady Demski Clercius 2 OL Kramdi Lawson and or but you know it’s and at this point Jake. Makes it 8. Id start Wallace so Lawson doesn’t have to

Honestly I thought increasing the PR pay would be really beneficial.

MOS dream roster. Just 52 Canadian linebackers

The thing we don't know is which players were offered PR spots and turned them down. As it stands right now it looks like we are in fact going with 3 americans on the offensive line to start the season.

The roster numbers indicate there will still be some shuffling before game 1. 23 Canadians 24 Americans 3 Quarterbacks 2 Global That's 52 players total, plus 3 in the IR and Collaros suspended. It's likely they will move 4 Americans and 3 Canadians to the IR. I think Makonzo and Lofton are both hurt but not officially on IR so they will probably be moved there. I suspect they will also stash Kornelson and Novak. 3 more Americans have to go to the IR. I don't know of anyone being hurt. Candidates could be Ayers, one of the Jones LBs, Griffin, or an American receiver such as Mitchell or Sterns. They could also stash an American OL on the IR and start 3 Canadians.

Dandy was way better in the games. I expect we will see him again here or somewhere else.

Yes I forgot Wheatfall. I’m not even sure who you are upset got cut here? Nobody likes the Cdn DTs beyond Lawson, but it’s not like they cut a bunch of Cdn DTs that showed better. The American dlineman cut would have been nice to keep but Willie, Woods, Adams, Vaughters, Person for the American 3 dline spots looks good. They kept a the American LBs in Ayers and JJones. No American rookie receiver jumped off the page.
