  1. Maybe we sign Curran or Peters at linebacker; perhaps Walters does a little more magic in free agency… He seems to be very good at unearthing quality Canadians that no one has really noticed or cared about.

     

    We have three top picks in the upcoming CIS draft. We might get one of those three to start but the rest of the draft picks will be doing well just to fit in and add some depth. This year’s draft picks are two or perhaps three seasons away from having an impact on our team.

     

    So in terms of bringing in new talent, what we really have left is “mini camps”. Barring a major trade, the only place we are going to find impact players beyond what we already have is through our scouting system.

     

    Will we find a Milt Steagall, Charles Roberts or Chris Williams that can make all the difference in the world to our franchise? Will we find a terrorist to patrol our defensive line? Our line-backing looks thin. What import rookie had a real impact on our team last year?

     

    I guess what I’m asking is what is our American scouting personnel going to do for us this year?

    Milt Steagall? Steagall? Seriously?

  2. The reality is that we don't have a single Canadian worth being a full time starter on defense right now.

     

    What we have is a stockpile of Canadians who can take a limited and controlled amount of reps in order to manage the ratio via committee.

     

    I'm sure we'll see Newman at WILL, Hurl at MAC, Thomas at DT, Sherman at S, Bucknor and Jones at the corner all taking meaningful reps this year. But not a single one of them will likely be asked (outside of MAYBE Bucknor) to be an every down player.

    I would say Bucknor proved he can start.

    Would be nice to get one or more of our draft picks to come up here from the NFL.
