I agree, though Evan’s didn’t shank any and has astronomical leg talent and potential and is just 23/24.

agree

Thanks for the tidbits. I kind of suspected evans refused a pr spot. Sucks he is sask bound but not surprised. Cooley is to much not to love lol.

722/727 yards is the career high between all 3, in 15 and 18 games. Whites was before a disastrous injury, and Mitchell has been a fraction of what he showed in his rookie half year. I don't think any of those 3 are highly projectable. And like I said, they haven't been excellent. Our wr core is a mile wide and an inch deep. That inch, is mostly schoen. He said they've been excellent here in camp and pre-season. haha right? I don't know any football fans that do any more tbh.

Hey now he made 1 none stamps pick in rourke for moc! lmao

Woah that’s awful

Does he qualify? good point. Pass rushing is one of the hardest jobs in the cfl to succeed at. Up there with fixing the culture in Saskatchewan.

Ohh that’s some spicy picks I like it. Id love to see every team in the play off picture going into the last week.

Imo, the change happened because holding has become extremely rare on the ol. Ols have adjusted and mug freely, so defences aren’t playing for quick pressures because it just doesn’t happen consistently enough. It’s only a matter of time before teams adjust pressure tactics though.

The early roster from I think dt? Didn’t have Kelly on the ir but it could’ve been an over sight. He was transferred to the 6 back on the 11th I think? Probably won’t get ir/ar updates till next week. Lawson might need a week or two, played a decent bit in week two but not a ton. Same here.

We don't, but Mos is married to the heavy set packages, where Schmek shines. And I think he's married to schmek anyway in general. I'd be happy with just 1 on the roster. But that would be one of the biggest surprises to me. I think kelly will be ready for game 1, but Makonzo seems to be a bit out. When we have both, with shay as well, I think we can go with out the DI DB for the dime set. If vaughters faulters, I think Person will be quick to get pulled in. I'd love to have taht line with person in. I'm not holding my breath though. Bailey I think is going to be Hansen 2.0, but better. Im really excited to see him get in and contribute for us.

Same boat here. I think Calgary and Ottawa will be in a similar situation. Very good Qbing, good offence, not a lot of support. But I think both will be better than Hamilton was last year.

I think it was a crutch, though it will remain an extremely good option for various situations. I don't think that will be our base or pass D base this year. I think we will see a lot of 40 fronts, and more blitzing than we've seen in a while. Hopefully not too much, but some situational blitz packages. Not just feed a lber to the centre/guard either, but blitzes actually designed to get a fast backer to the QB.

Awards, standings, the team, whatever your pleasure. Standings : Winnipeg Bc SSk Cal Edm I see us winning in the 12 +/-1 game range again in a tight western race. I think Calgary is in the playoff race and will go right down to the wire. I think SSK and bc jockey for 2nd in the west, and bc wins by 1 game. Montreal Toronto Ottawa Hamilton Toronto's season losses slow them down at the start of the year, but their endless spring of dynamic import talent at DL helps them peak at the right time, yet again. Montreal, I think, will start out well and then close the season on a low note. Dru brown might be in the MOP race when he puts Ottawa on his back again and drags them to the playoffs. Hamilton is in a rebuilding year that they still won't commit to. For us, I think we will flash brilliance early on, but not protect the QB as we need to, until after LD. I think our D will top the league and be even better than last year. I think some people in BC will wish they hired Hogan, not Buck, before the year is out. I think Vaval will be our MOR, and most of the rest of the awards candidates for us will be repeats. Schoen leads the league in receiving and TDs again, Brady in rushing yards. I think BC comes to regret the major decisions they made this off-season, namely in Buck and letting Vaj go.

Very much agree. That was one of my biggest concerns with cut time. I'm fine with seeing if tony jones can grow. He flashed better range in camp and the first game. It's nice to have a young athletic LB core. Agree for sure. If we can rotate Adams for some snaps on the edge and Bailey for some as well, that will let us keep WJ and Vaughters both healthy and rested. It's also going to be a big advantage to have Cam back for half+ the defensive snaps at one DT spot, and woods/adams in year 2 at the other. Teams are not going to be able to double WJ a lot this year.

Yeah. the difference between having schmek, as the 3rd canadian Dt and 5th DT over all vs having a 2nd DE is huge. Schmek can do some heavy set stuff, but bailey has some value for teams as well.

he looked really good in the 2nd game yeah.

Yeah, Logan and Hogan will take us far imo. I think we over achieved a good bit in the 2nd half of last year, carried heavily by the play of our secondary. I think our overall level of play will be similar but with a higher floor and potential to be better moving forward. Zach seems healthy and sharp, which is a pleasant surprise. I was ready for the worst case scenario with him. I think our primary limiting factor early on is going to be our OL and how it gels. Plus how often it changes between now and LDC. I'm not looking too hard at the AR or the PR right now as It's gonna change a good bit still for game 1. But it is the best combination we've broken camp with in out of the last 3 ish years. I'm overall optimistic, while still not expecting ideal ARs in the first few weeks of the year. There is a mild to moderate chance we do some thing wild like roster all the Lbers, and roll into game 1 with 10 guys and 4 imports for 2 spots. but we will see.

First, I'll say I don't see a lot to bash in this set of cuts either. The NI wr depth is a side effect of us trying to draft just teams guys for a couple years. But you are basically always in a situation of needing to restock NI depth at at least one position in the CFL. That said, If you look at the argos of the dinwiddie time or the stamps previous dynasty, both teams would've had the last 3 years of roster turn over in vets in one year, and then some. Guys like kyrie and thomas would've been gone long ago. We aren't stuck on a lot of old vets any more. It's just a couple under achievers that get penned in now. I also don't see considerable discourse. Last year was much more controversial. And the year before that. I see people discussing the cuts and questioning some moves, which is the point here yeah? The current roster isn't a sign of much imo. A lot is going to change before week 1, and yeah Bailey will be the 2nd global by then if not fairly shortly after imo. He was banged up to start camp and is a little be further behind, though he did show well in the 2nd game. They may even keep weitz on just because of his familiarity with the teams system. We have a good bit of turn over in the depth of special teams. They might want a bit of extra continuity for now.

Yeah, He probably fits our system better, and as good as he could ever want as a pro. If he has any thing to give as a pass catcher we would get it here. And as an emergency contingency guy, I don't think he'd be worse than corcoran or cobb. Cobb has some versatility but he has fought his hands pretty hard at times.

Very likey yeah. Also woods played edge in the 30. I’d think we see Wj Lawson woods vaughters start with Jake adams Bailey and schmek on the bench. Adam’s taking heavy reps at dt and de, Jake splitting more than he should with Lawson and schmek playing fairly few reps. Maybe we di Ayers and da kyrie. Then di vaval to kr and db. Offence is gonna be thin for imp talent.

If it was me, I might take a look at a guys like hakunavanhu, rysen john, and maybe Sénécal as a project. Our ni wr depth is paper thin. I’d also give hollins tires a kick.
