So what’s their rationalization on being lean in depth on O? Or do they believe depth on O is where it needs to be at this juncture of the season?

Gotta love how Osh is so against using a freaking rule properly to make our team better. He's actually come out and said so. Drives me nuts.

I hope our remade O Line opens some holes for Brady...Big dif maker right there...Get behind Broxton and blow these cowboys up.....

They have to have 8 no? Unless god forbid they use the nationalized American rule?

Could, but ELi isn't close to 100% ready. I think being the 6th is the most he's ready for given his recovery from injury and lack of PT. Take his STs soldiers from MOs' cold dead hands. For game 1, I don't think we have a better option at C. I think Eli is pretty well short of being 100%. When he's at 100%, right now Id say Elsbury might be better in pass pro, but I didn't love what I saw from him in run blocking. He has elite tools, though, and he was here for part of last year, so he shouldn't be rookie green. He should be able to execute Marty's schemes. That will be the big litmus test for week 1. How the OL plays, especially if we are able to establish the run. IF we can get the run game going to a point where we aren't holding back Brady, it won't matter who the worst WR on the field is. Zach has a few targets in Demski, Wilson, and White who he is very comfortable with. A strong running game, good OL and those targets will bring a massive improvement with a proper OC. Yeah, it is, that's the MO here, though.

Pretty sure in the last 15 years the Jets lead all NHL teams in ex-players who went on to win cups. Oduya, Hainsey, Bogosian, Schmidt, Kulikov, Stenlund & Coghlan/Ehler. Think I’m leaving out a couple more.

excited for what JY has to work with this yr...I can see them being a good take away unit and providing somescores too...may need it looking at that offence If he is he needs to be like really....reeeeally better to justify the ratio implications...and didn't see that by any stretch. Also he's gonna see fronts and looks he has never seen...under the pressure of live bullets..is he gonna have the ability to make the proper blocking calls? Vet's can be fooled, so an rookie...An American at that is prime for the pickens....One bad blown call and ZC could be done for the yr Is a marginally better import giving us a better over all roster than a National...with the ripple effect across roster...heck no....Guess we shall see tho...HOpefully it's a matter ELI isnt 100 percent, as him at center gives us a better overall roster

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.
