Pretty much. And one is out of position. I think it is a good chance for Wilson to take another step forward like booch said. I'd love to see him do a better job of progressing from his pre snap read, picking up the blitz and moving the pocket or ball quickly to beat it. I'd also love to see a bit more of him using his legs. Liked what he showed in game one, hope he can build off it. Like every one is saying, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what the D brings. Mcghee and Ford seem locked in on the corner spots, Like to see more of them. Seeing what kelly can do at S in some extended reps. The Imp Lbers is the juiciest, who will separate them self? They all looked good last week, but don't have near as much DL talent in front of them this week. Some one is gonna grab a starting job this week. Schmekel can he continue to grow in this big step forward and be a legit rotational piece for us? Samson I thought would be head and shoudlers above schemkel but he's gotta play his way on to the PR imo. Adams, I want to see lots of snaps, and at multiple alignments including some DE. Guy is such a freak athlete if he has a half decent head on his shoulders I'd keep him on the PR at the least for sure. But he could make a big case for carrying 2 imp DTs, and I hope he does. Dobson looked real good at both G and C last week. I look forward to seeing him get a bunch more snaps at C. Wallace was the best interior OL we had last week, super excited to see if he can keep it going. Lofton, hopefully he isn't tipping, and improves when it comes to handling speed. He looked fine when some one tried to bull rush him. Coleman at LT I thought had the best chance to beat out lofton, didn't shine last week be great if he did this week. Really need one of the imp OL to step up this week even if lofton is locked in at RT, we need a back up or two. Smith at RB and KR, I hope he gets lots of touches. Could be a super sub and KR as a DI which would add even more depth to an incredible offense. Clercius and MCI, one starting and should get a decent amount of reps hopefully mci gets some decent time to carry the ball and block.

It's how most of the remaining intact teeth in the province look.

Agree with all that. yep. I think the drop off and inconsistency we see from wj, is largely not having a strong pass rusher or even consistent guy across from him, having a force inside that demands a double/can push the pocket, and that when he’s the only decent dl on the AR he ends up playing way too many snaps. He’s a guy who really needs his snaps and assignments managed. When he’s on too much he tends to coast backwards to play for knock downs too much especially when tired. With the depth of de and the imp dts we have I’m optimistic that will all improve.

Probably right with that. Wilson would be sick with Moses and petrishen.

Very much so yeah. maybe as a the naturalized American as a role guy and mentor.

That’d be nice.

The whole defence is gonna be great to watch. Lots of dbs the imp lbers and dts. Atleast the offence likely won’t be on the field too long lool

Agree with all that. Wondering if other hallett is healthy, if neuf/brady will be ready. I think we will see a couple vets play week 1 who by way of age diminishing and injury are significantly lessened. Like big Jake. I hope Samson gets a good look, as well as some more carries for mci, some passes for clercius and lots of kick returns.

Certainly true. And the worst pass pro he’s had since he came here. Does that make him more of a product of the system? The advantage nfl camps have is their skirmishes are close to the value of a pre season game. If you could reason with people like that rf would be boring. he isn’t worth your effort. We will know the extent of the injury position once the week 1 roster is announced. Till then Lawson is hurt and every one is questionable. I think with it we will see just how shallow tc/team injury reporting is. I think we are going to see two plus vet starters sitting on the ir for 6+ weeks with a week to week maybe they’ll be ok status.

A broken doomsday clock is right only once.

Just meeting the quota for the day of posts on the forum about self loathing for being a fan on a forum. The off season quota this year has seemingly been pretty high but I think it’s going down with actual football going on.

I agree with that. We badly need an injection of qb talent in this league. Some team, needs to take a risk. No ones gonna though. That’s true. Play offs every one was banged up. Despite all the light work weeks at the end. Or even in Hamilton before sask. that was ugly. Talent wise that team turned it around though Imo, Zach wouldn’t haven’t lasted the year in bc last year. I think he’s a retired. Brady, would’ve been just as good in to as here. Aj here would’ve been a beast too. Vaj here is real interesting. He’s the only qb more boom or bust than Zach last year. But instantly better pass pro, drastically less expectation with support from the running game and wrs, plus buck being able to game plan for vaj feet. I think vaj would’ve been better here than bc with less terrible games, and would’ve flashed some nutty upside. IF he could fifo. Idk if he could though. Strevy being back and able to sub in when the offence is stagnant with out a full qb change and controversy. But it’s also a double edged sword. If we do it when the O has momentum it can kill zachs groove. Which is fickle as all qb groves are. We saw that in the past with plop, buck has a big threat added but has to carefully balance the use of that set.

People say fairly often here that brown was a product of the system. Does any one say that of Zach? If Zach was in bc would he be in the mop race? Would Brady be less of a candidate if he was in Toronto last year?

True, but I mean even in the regular season he was feast or famine. It was td every drive or games like edm with multiple picks / pick 6 streak.

It’s going to be interesting to see how brown does in ott. I was firmly in the position to deal away Zach, bring in strevy and let he and brown battle to lead us into the future. Build for next year, but then also spend a couple hundred thousand on a big vet fa or two.

You surely have to admit he was feast or famine last year, and sure wasn’t feast mode in the playoffs.

Qft. that’d be great too. As long as those guys aren’t sent packing. 100%. Clearly no concern with assessing our O. Really makes me wonder at wr. I bet they are 90% sure already who will start.

I think it was back and forth but rbs, no matter how elite, don’t beat out top level qbs for mop/mvp. Zach had a couple bananas Games last year that are classic mop stuff the rest was kind of so so. (Which is still top tier qbing in the cfl right now) Brady was full on beast mode the whole season. My vote, hands down goes to Brady.

It’s very clear now why we didn’t cut guys heavily in the last week. We are starting those guys this year. I hope that part of starting the replacements team isn’t because a bunch of the vet projected starters are nursing injuries. Happens more with older guys, I really don’t want to see us roll out a bunch of old guys who are rusty and 70% healthy. I love Willy j, but mid to late season it’d be smart to have him rotate with both those guys. He’s soo much better when fresh, and even more effective when hes able to move around and force the other team to adjust playing off edge. Kongbo used to play nearly as many snaps. We could throw him in for a dt, use him as a jack all kinds of stuff.

Yep. We sent kramdi some but in the db blitz package not as a jack lber. Honestly I’d rather Kramdi learn S in pre season and start over Hallett too. That’s what it looks like to me as well with habba. I think garbutt is better and more well rounded but they might end up in that role swap with time. Yeah thatd be great im pulling for Adams hard. Good point I forgot he was here the year prior. Again I would use this chance to get guys like him looks at S and out of position work if they don’t need chemistry work with other guys. But building that chemistry would be vital. Especially with the cut team.

I think barring a catastrophe in pre season game part 2, we will see Cole and an imp lber at mac and Sam. With Thomas I have no hope. I think our week 1 starting D will be mcghee Nichols hallett holm ford kyrie moses cole Habba thomas fox wj Not how I’d go, but I think that happens. I’d say petrishen and garbutt as DIs with that roster. It’s also strange we haven’t been playing holm in the pre season. I don’t get it second year guys need reps.

Cole is like Kramdi but better at every thing. I dont hate kramdi, I think he’s a perfect guy to have as the extra db. Rather than carrying a career sts guy who rosters as a S and can’t cover, we have a guy who can slide in and cover as well as play in the box.

I honestly laughed soo hard when I saw the offensive depth chart. For the most part we are starting team 3, and guys who will be cut. Idr ever seeing a team go from half starters to one quarter from ps1 to ps game 2. This is the most preseason roster I’ve seen in a long time. It’s an odd choice to go full pre season in both games. I guess it’s to give the biggest chance to play to the guys battling for spots on the ar and pr. I feel bad for those wrs though. That’s going to be the hardest position to evaluate fairly. defense isn’t as bad. Only dressing 3 ends but I’m guessing we will see both Adams and schmekel in the edge some. Soo strange not to give garbutt and habba snaps. I don’t get that. They’ve locked up the two de spots that’s cool, but both need reps imo. I like how the lbers are listed. Glad cole ford mcghee. Only two S is strange but maybe they’ll slide some one else back for some reps. Especially with one being mccarthy. Idk if he’s got much of a chance to be a cfl player out side of maybe a teams guy. He’s a fringe tc pre cut roster guy. No Hallett is strange if they are actually gonna start him.

Check the play by play, he was in for the 2nd Q of both those games and they were closed out by other qbs lol

Youre looking at the end of the quarter, not the start. He lead TD drives in the 2nd quarter of pre season games both those years.
