Adding Tim White and a full year of Ontaria Wilson makes our offense miles better than last years. Not to mention the addition by subtraction of Kolankowski.

Does any of our brain trust realize how limiting it is to have a lack of playmakers on offense in any sport?

Cilantros on Gateway is solid. Like dude said tho, dozens and I’ll add you can’t really go wrong.

Hmm. Here’s the thing. What if Elsbury is actually better than Eli? I would think Job 1 of Oline.. keep Zach healthy. I’d start 4 Americans if it means Zach is healthy. 2 DIs on LBs is annoying.

Younger really doesn't want to play any Canadians or rookies on D. And our roster has been built around that for 2 seasons. But that's an offense that would do well to be top 6 in the league IMO. D better start taking the ball away and scoring points or we'll be battling Edmonton for 4th in the West.

Interesting Six players have also hit the six-game injured list, including Canadian receiver Kevens Clercius, American offensive lineman Micah Vanterpool, Canadian defensive lineman Tanner Schmekel, Canadian linebacker Lane Novak, American linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox, American defensive back Cam Allen, and Canadian defensive back Ethan Ball.

Ron Hainsey won a cup. As did Nate Schmidt.

yup...lean in depth and shallow in real game breakers....Who knows Demski's status as well and if he is actually 100 percent...or lasts Imagine if one of Pokey/Demski/White goes down...means we running every play with Corcorran and Cobb as 2 of our receivers....If 2 go down....yikes Why not dress that canadian receiver we felt the need to grab after other teams cuts and have him rostered for one of Stuart or Clark? Or as mentioned dont go Import at center...dress an import receiver and replace one of Stuart or Clark with Vibert

I don't think Singer would make a difference, but the depth is ridiculous. Just shows how poor our recent drafts have been and US scouting too. We literally have two guys on the O side of that depth chart that can play special teams. Our backups for all the skill positions are Chris-Ike, Corcoran and Daniels. So like if Tim White blows his achilles in the 1st quarter, those guys are playing the whole game. We use 2 DI's on LB's when we never have more than 4 of them on the field. Like I get that it's nice, but it's a major luxury when you look across at the O and one injury could leave us basically useless for the rest of a game.

Calgary’s rec group isn’t the best I’ve ever seen. Nice to see a couple starting dl missing from their depth chart too. I think Collaros should have time to throw.

what I really like about our depth chart on the dline...we will not have any sets with a dead weight guy on the field...and some case we had 2 together No Korn..No Thomas....so if we get owned it's more a case we got outplayed and outschemed and easily fixeable...as opposed to out classed like previous yr...2 👍's up in my books we all expected it tho...and all know it wasnt a "need" to do thing either....dumb decision but at least for 1st depth chart of yr we only have one head scratcher and wasted spot....I guess that can be considered a win for now

If you are downtown, then I'd recommend the buffet at East India Company on 349 York Ave. A wide variety and the coconut NAAN is really good. Otherwise the city has dozens of great East Indian restaurants, it really depends on what area that you will be hanging out in.

TC loves the 11/21 formation. Both for max protect and passing. Looks like we might catch a bit of a break there too. Calgary isn't listing Flo, or Hutchins on the AR. Flo as the reserve tells me hes probably a GTD and not 100%. https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/260605-vsWPG-position-chart.pdf

y0u would think we would have learned that by now eh? The art of maximizing the roster as opposed to just soothing a personal bias That being said we could have replaced Elsbury with Singer....Added Vibert for Corcorran and been just fine too Cobb as the back-end depth guy if we had 3 imports...And then MCI and Daniels on roster until Clercius gets back is workable...he does serve multiple purposes...not elite world beater at any of them..but good enough he wont hurt/hamper you...aka perfect for back end multi role Canadian depth

I'd much rather use the American at Center than as the 5th WR but as mentioned before, if we were actually using the rules to our advantage we wouldn't have to choose

Could just start Eli, add Vibert for Elsbury. Take Corcoran off, add Singer. Start Singer over Cobb. Or just take Ayers off unless he's actually going to play D this year.

I don't mind cobb as an end roster canadian. Even forced into action isn't the worst guy on the roster. I do feel like he is a poor fit and field wr though. If you're gonna use him I think it should be in the slot. In order to put singer in, they would've had to use the nat american. Its 8 NIs, 1 of which can be a NA. Because we refuse to use it, we start 8 canadians. That would make us soo much better. And fit right in with our canadian by committee on D.

AND he did utilize that big global Robinson as a true TE in Hamilton...and included him in passing game...5 TD's over 2 yrs there

Some really curious tweaks on the D. Tony jones at wil, does that mean he will be rotating with Woodbey? That would be fantastic. Flipping shay for smith is also interesting. Idk why we wouldn't have tried smith at sam, but idk if hes really a sam either. That might just be for sake of roster balance just like when ayers was a DE. A bit thin at DL, only 6 guys. But atleast all 6 guys can go get after it. No real back up DT would be a bit of a concern, but then both Dixon and Jenkins can play inside out. Which is tremendous luxury. Love that we are using a DI on the DL, and with no canadian back up to lawson at DT, they must be really comfortable with Smith and maybe Gatkuoth.

I actually agree with you on this. I think if Condell is thinking outside the box with the personnel at his disposal he could really set up an offence that is very hard to defend and to prepare for. I haven't looked at it yet, have to do that ASAP.

Tough test for the O-line against Calgary's front 4. But in a way, this is really good to see what they are made of early. Not unhappy with the line-up and really eager to see how Condell can make use of our talent. Go Blue!

Is this going to be another game where a receiver or two goes down early and Zach has trash to throw to all game?
