I agree with some of that. Our guys in house are not going to fix anything. Adams has had more reps than JT and done absolutely zero with them. Scrap heaping and air lifting isn't my favorite way to build a team because it shows your offseason was a bust, but a GM needs to do this once in a while when it is apparent that it needs to happen. So far bupkus. Garbutt, Fox, and now Adams had ample time to show their worth. They failed to do so. Are there some guys we ripen on the vine too long....maybe, but that is not the problem with our DL right now.

we dont lnow if we have...as nobody really got a shot....so you cant know really.....if any guys brought in and cut were actually worse than what we kept.....yikes Snd looking at our current roster...who is tops in the league in their position...BO obviously...Nichols perhaps....after that.....nobody I can see Every player starts as an unknown...no experience....no history...we rarely allow that to occur but stand pat with players who we had success with in the past...which doesnt necessarily mean they gonna continue at that

Two roster moves to fix one is not using your roster to its maximum potential. Winner winner chicken dinner. The problem lies with us settling on mediocrity for far too long.

My guess is: Case, Bridges, Peterson, Kornelson OFF Cooley, Mitchell, Cobb, Schmekel ON And of course Artopoeus for Collaros

Exactly right. We can criticize our NAT guys, but we sure don't have the IMPs to make a noticeable difference if we were to change that up. Our DL is a mess and it doesn't predicate at all on how many reps Jake Thomas is getting. That is a symptom of the problem not the cause. Vaughters has underperformed his contract as well. RIght now we are not getting reliable play from anyone on our DL and a good portion of our secondary. Exactly. The problem isn't that we are sitting massively talented players and refusing to play them. The problem is we lack talent across the board on the DL.

Hopefully they get J. Jones on. Then we can start clamouring for Woodbey, he’s the main PR guy I think could make an impact.

I believe the indoor facilities are in use by northern fire evacuees, so not available for the team.

Exactly right. If someone wants to criticize moves made where we lost real impact players like Stove, or Lawler I can't argue but grousing about how Garbutt and Fox moved on because they were treated unfairly is a real head shaker to me. We haven't brought in anyone worth a snot since Stove and Casey. The interior of our DL is a giant mess because we haven't recruited a lick of talent there in 4 years. We haven't recruited anyone worth a snot since Casey.

sneaky lil feeling we may actually be somewhat impressed with the depth chart...............

Halls D did not rely on pressure. It developed the ability to get pressure with just 4 guys late. Check out the old fire Richie hall thread. It’s all too deep zone not enough pressure talk. It ran through Harris because he was our 2nd/3rd target as a pass catcher and the run game. Harris’ career high Carrie’s was 239 in 18, then 225 in 19. Brady had 260 carries in 2023, and 239 in 24. His average carries are right in line as a starter here with Harris, a bit higher.

Par for the course in the Pacific Ring of Fire. We just hope the West Coast of Canada & the US remain safe for a few more hundred to a thousand years hence from "the big one" that will eventually occur.

Couldn't they have just moved indoors?

No, the D has changed. Richie Hall's D relied a lot more on pressure. Younger's is more coverage based. The change is not as recent, but the O no longer runs primarily through the RB, both passing and running, the way it did when Andrew Harris was starting.

Adding Cooley was the last thing I was expecting. Case still has to be removed from the AR to IR so there is still an opening for another import. As mentioned, if Mitchell isn't added this week in some capacity, then why are we keeping him around? Good chance we see Kelly and or Makonzo added to replace Canadians moved to PR.

One's in Hamilton, one is in NY, one is hurt and one is the last man standing.

Be fair, they are all cfl receivers... just where's the top end guys.

Plus Demski and Chris-Ike. It's what they should've done last week. Toronto defence 2nd worst in CFL defending against the rush.

Lawler

We do this most every year at db with one guy.

Makes the reads easy lol

Strange eh? Chris seemed a little banged up which could be it, but mos also seemed to turn on Strev in the post. Be wild if we see Wilson start. Don’t see any thing good out of not committing to strevy but we will see. That’s what we did last year. Zach couldn’t play but stayed on the ar to be on the side line in dress. Hate that move but we probably do the same again. Peterson to the pr is odd. Guys done every thing you can ask. If I’m a few teams around the league I’d try to claim him. He’s legit. I like Cooley, but we are struggling to get enough touches for Brady and not showing the ability to use the weapons we have. idk. We aren’t flipping bridges for a Canadian. Maybe we start Trey and have him kr to clear up a spot. But I don’t feel like this increases Mitchell’s chance to play. I hope it does, that’d be great. One thing’s for sure, this ar is going to be interesting to see. It’s gonna be a far cry from the last couple of no change rosters. Throw in Cobb too lol
