he favors Canadians...its abundantly clear....what does Thomas offer over Fox..Adams...Woods...Kramdi over Cole....why he refuses to Nationalize and American...do explain People used to chirp before that some merican coaches favoured Imports and that some Canadians didnt get a fair shot due to that...wekll it does go both ways you know...whether you wanna believe it or not

As a guy who has never really been a fan of Kramdi, I'm OK with him starting. He's not who I'd have out there but he's nowhere near the biggest liability on the field. I look at this depth chart and just see a giant hole right up the middle of our defence. Same old same old.

This is hilarious, even from you.

Adams as a TE would work, has the speed to run some short routes in the endzone too!

yup...some people just dont get it...understand it...or see it...hey see wins in previous seasons....but fail to see the other stuff...failure in playoffs due to exactly what we are seeing...again....hate to wish for injuries...but man o man... We have no reason to start 3 extra canadians...we do it because Osh is at times Anti American...it's obviously clear....and the fact he wont use a nationlized American to take snaops for a inferior Canadian backup is proof....deny it all you want but its clear as day

And being schooled by opposition who have.

things I don't like... Thomas, Gauthier and Kramdi listed as starters... things I do like... the number of DL and LB players we have rostered... I am hoping to see a lot of rotation and lots of players getting on the field... I'm really hoping the Thomas/Schmekel is not a set spot on the depth chart... because Cgy basically couldn't run with their starters against Woods/Fox in the middle to start the game last week

My one hope looking at this depth chart is that we come out of this first game healthy. There are a lot of bodies in there who haven't taken a single (game) snap all preseason and that's a prime recipe for soft tissue injuries.

I did not know Karamoko played WIL, thought he was a DB, are they required to roster 2 Globals now or has he earned his spot?

Great point. Who says the GC half time show has to be music? There's other high end entertainment that draws attention.

tenure shouldnt trump talent....nor should passport if you have no ratio issues....weak

I don’t really want to get into this argument because it opens up a whole other can of worms BUT the team really shouldn’t be giving out “recognition” in the depth chart. The presumption is that these players are going to start the game and take a strong share of the snaps, the teams owe it to fans to be accurate and not purposely misleading with these depth charts since the CFL wants to throw gambling in everyone’s face at every turn these days. If they’re just giving Thomas and Gauthier lifetime achievement awards and a honorary first snap, that’s also a problem that needs to be addressed. What teams should be forced to disclose prior to kickoff (not today) is their ratio declaration on each side of the ball.

not shocked in the least...predictable and sad....hopefully as the game progresses our mighty HC will see that starting 10 Canadians...1 of whom shouldnt be even dressed and the other 2 should only sub in will make us a weaker club over all. Thomas and gauthier as "starters" is basically a joke and pretty sad that's the best we could come up with knowing since start of camp that we needed a MLB and a DT ....Well 2 Dt's Hope to god this just a paper thing and we see mostly all import dline and front 7 work....but I think we gonna have to witness game after game of avaerage to inadequate play from some parts before Osh smartens up...and again...No Nationlized American used...like really?.... at least we have Adams..Fox and Woods on the roster....there is one plus...and like the defensive backfield and whom we rostered.....but after all that went on in camp...what we saw...and what potential we have...this is a semi fail...as expected

This just in. Players that have been on the team for 2 weeks are not listed as the "starters" over the vets. It's the first game. This is not at all unexpected. It is exciting to see Woods and Adams draw in on the D-Line. Shows we are committed to more of a rotation this year.

Looks like Alexander and Demski swapped passports?

100 percent.....if the timing was switched, and Osh had Lapo's tenure...Lapo had Osh....be a different story...That being said lapo would have had to put in place quality co-ordinators to make things work and let go of the micro managing...Osh had next to no success when he had to hire crap co-ordinators....wasn't until quality ones were in place that the ball started rolling...I will always say a HC is only as good as the staff around him, as they are the guys who create the system the team plays within...HC obvioulsy can have some say and over rule things, but then thats the slippery slope you get on...and trouble brews In all honesty if a HC has the right support...they will be succesful unless they are just a complete moron and dictator who wants to control everything...

I don't care how much we rotate, the fact that they are even listed as starters is a huge L as far as I am concerned. The "starting" front 7 is worse than what we had last year. Prediction: Ayers doesn't play a snap barring injury.

lol I will just say this because at the end of the day, I’m just excited to go watch meaningful football tomorrow and the games are played between the lines not on the depth charts. If we had a genuine open training camp with spots to be won and the best we could do at MLB, knowing Bighill was injured all along, is Shayne Gauthier … and the best we could do at DT was Jake Thomas … just fire our scouts I guess now, I’m assuming we’ll see a lot of Woods. And Cole. Probably not a lot of Ayers. But still … sheesh .. come on

Cue full site melt down

Gauthier at MLB tomorrow according to the depth chart

Good. Run the ball a bunch, get the new look OL pushing guys around.

Plus 15 with a low of plus 9 and windy tomorrow = more fall like game probably
