Big factor in both being Canadian, not brought up thinking football is their only option or escape and maybe took the free education segment of their scholarship more seriously.

whats the tweets other than the thing with McAfferty speed comparison?

Brown seems like a clown If that’s him and I get why the cut him. Reality prob is smith and cruickshank are prob just better and bring more options to the field.

And got exactly the positions we needed to fill as well. I'd love to see samson break out as well and become platoon partners with Lawson in side.

Love all 3 our first picks....and we got what we want character wise....but aso scored big time on physical attributes and huge upside to contribute...and actually contribute now

Mos made a great comment in the presser yesterday. He said that they all really value both CMI and Clercius going into their last ncaa season knowing they weren't going to get the reps that they wanted, but sticking it out with their teams any way and finding new roles to support their teams. Its some thing you dont see in the transfer portal era. Guys hit it and quit it soo fast now. I mean we have lots of guys who transferred multiple times on the roster. It takes a special mind set for guys like that, especially soo talented and athletic to choose loyalty to their program even if their program doesn't choose it to them. Really makes me think both those guys are gonna overachieve here.

That is 100% true. Though he struggled blocking guys who crossed his face or played nose last year. Did hodge get a single pick in his mock draft right, out side of us drafting the 3 fbs of course. He was the ultimate FIFO guy, First in first out, LOL. Smith is an ideal fit. Kr, RB, but also played multiple WR spots, ran Jet motion, the whole package. He could back up multiple positions and be a super sub. He's a lot like grant in that he is compact (though a good bit heavier,) strong, tough, and an aggressive north south runner. He's got a full kit of cuts, with the full spectrum of speed no gears lacking. He does a great job of using his small stature to his advantage as well hitting through the smallest holes for big gains. I feel like out side of grant we have made strange strange choices at KR, but smith sure should be a front runner. Probably the fastest guy on the field in camp too. Gotta love that every one is wearing the guardian helmet, but in the first clip two guys run facemask first into each other.

I don't put much thought into what the media says....

But according to Hodge he was out best

Farewell, Reacher... We hardly knew ye. And man, Alston was first man up in Bailey's spot to open camp... Then among the first cuts. Definitely curious how many of these are injury related and might be back at some point yet...

exactly...and in games more times than not he got abused on any move..stunt...if he wasnt involved on a chip or 50 block...he was a weak spot...and cant count how many times he just got bull rushed into the pocket...

Hopefully we got Fox+Lawson as the starters at DT and Jake is just rotational. Would be great if we could DI 2 DL (a DT and a DE).

Say what you want about Kolo (I'm a firm believer this is Eli's year) but a spin move during one on ones is very different than a spin move inside during a game. I know most know that.

been saying all along...Chris Smith....learn the name....guy has the skill set to be an impact guy in the CFL....Crazy returner and bust it speed at the RB spot.....Kolo getting owned...flailing like usual....If Eli isn't manning center something is seriously wrong with our coaching staff....put the best guys on the field... 100 percent....I have the sick feeling same is gonna happen on oline with Kolo...I think it time for my to go Tanya Harding on Thomas..Kolo and Schpackel to eliminate them out of the equation....Schpackel owning Kolo prob just secued his roster spot sadly over someone like Kelly...or Charbaneau

Yep, I also think that the ability to roll out MCI, and clercius amongst other good blockers will help allow us to transition away from carrying the extra OL. Fox is another head scratcher from last year. One of my biggest roster worries right now is that we are again going to try to have Thomas play the most reps of any DT. Lawson and Fox should be penciled in as DT starters right now.

Using it as a hotspot is the only thing it's been good for so far.

Yeah....JA isn't going anywhere...he has become a valuable foot soldier....Cutting him on roster for whom?....makes zero sense MCI was the smartest pick of our draft as it finally allows us to roster an impactful DI on defence now, and have a fullback who is an actual threat out of the backfield, as well be a key piece in a grind em out drive in 4th qi=uarter working with BO Interesting to hear Osh's comments re: Fox, and highlightiong all the traits he brings in the middle..most of which we were lacking last year...He didn't miracously learn that the last 4 months of the off-season...was there already in B.C....and just an example of a wasted opportunity, and a guy stuck behind another player in the reward system...or the we gotta play a pointless fullback

Same. Miserable experience. It's like a toy for a two-year-old. You can't do anything with it. It mostly collects dust on my desk.

Either way we've dodged a bullet. I feel like guys who are healthy cuts in the first wave of camp never come back, especially imps.

I really don’t think so. If it were him, he’d be referring to himself in the third person near constantly. Plus that profile is for “Ron Brown” and reads like an over 40.

They wish they were the TC legend that was duane slays! lol. Imagine the jersey potential though. Oh, the all time best name team from TC would be soo entertaining.

Of the list Alston surprises me because he was here last year. The rest were just Duane Slays.

Agree and Kevens is replacing bolo. With all 3 we just have a bit more NI depth and better roster balance.

It's definitely Ronnie... When you look at his Shepherd football bio where it lists parents, it only lists his mother, meaning his dad is out of the picture one way or another

And usually guys who end on our PR and come back the next TC get more time. I'm just saying in general, more time to evaluate might be good. Rookie camp isn't really a strong evaluation tool. Though like I also said, these guys might just be failing at a basic level that they'd be cut any way.
