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

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.

Yep. One of the most amazing facets of our WR core, only one guy on the entire roster at WR is 30 years old. Demski is the oldest and still has plenty of time left. Best WR core and a young prime group too. It's really going to be interesting to see who wins the last spot and why.

Little surprised about Waggoner. Brown was a kr and rb. We are thin at rb, but might just be the reality that no imp rb is gonna make it if they aren’t a full time kr. Alston was starting day one of tc which shows all you need to know about how important that is. Im guessing most of these guys failed fifo/adaptability to the league checks. I wonder if the league would be better off having the first cut after a week of practices.

Looks like cuts include beeksma, Ronnie brown, ravi Alston, waggoner, Siegel and texada.

Augustine did improve a lot on teams over last year as well. I cant see an out right cut of him. He might end up being a scratch some or end up on the pr.

Especially with Kelly out, they have a huge leg up in the east division. Hamilton is still stuck with the corpse of blm, and ott is likely still a year away from being a year away.

That is certainly a big factor as well. Not only is winnipeg sandwiching steinbach, multiple predominantly french towns are in different directions as well. I believe Loewen blvd overlaps upwards of 4 or 5 different RMs. Which is why it is such a mess as soon as you leave steinbach. Physical distance from the next major city will lead to a larger area, as well as diversity in the surrounding area it self. Morris is in this situation (though not being close to a city) because it falls pretty evenly between winkler/morden, steinbach, and winnipeg. The RM is over 1000km2, with a population that leaves it with less than 2 people per km2. As a fun fact, 25 countries in the world have a smaller km2 foot print than the RM of morris.

haha! That would make a lot of sense. He might also be gunning for a HOF spot. I think every one else above 100 sacks in their career has made it in.

Thats a good point. Has a player in any league beaten a gambling rap yet? Doesn't seem like it.

Wonder if hes tryin to get some make the roster or show up to camp type bonus lol

Kelly also has to complete a program before he returns, and lemon has appealed the suspension which freezes it out until the appeal process is completed.

Population density isn't a pre requisite for being a city in any dictionary definition or civil engineering standard. Density is only used to separate for economic survey data. Federal, and provincial standards are what's applicable. Manitoba has some really interesting/odd outliers in terms of economic per capita zones, that are perfect examples of why the standard is used but only in statistical evaluation.

Yeah, They've had one since 2009. They've had a bar at the edge of town since 76, literally as close to town physically as they can be while being in another RM, called the Edge lol.

Don't know about what is usual, but I walked into the steinbach one a week and a half ago and didn't see any employees till I got to the till lol. Just googled it, thinking maybe this was some failure to follow protocol thing. But it looks like the ID to enter is just in winnipeg, done in response to those passive theft/raids that were happening a ways back. Doesn't seem like it's the case in rural MB.

Yep right before.

I was buying a gift at the LC, and had my ID in hand. The casher didn't ask to see it, which made me wonder when the last time I actually was ID'd was. It made my brain hurt trying to think back that far, and I still don't have an idea when I was last ID'd.

People who hold positions that aren’t based on fact or logic won’t give up those position due to arguments based on facts and logic. Any topic should be open for discussion, but facts should only be debated by qualified people. In general debates swing people who are on the fence. How do you get people off wrong headed, disgusting, or extremist views? Figure that out and we are on the verge of world peace.

He was real banged up last year. If he’s taking full reps in the first days of tc, you can expect he’s recovered. I think it’s a good sign as well that we have Moses and Petrishen in camp this year. Some of the past tcs we haven’t brought in any competition. I think Cole will flow to the first opening. Be it by injury, suckage combination of those or what ever else. It makes sense to give him reps at S now, even if we plan to have him at lber. It doesn’t cost us any thing and it bakes in some positional flexibility. Though Cole at S would be terrifying for opposition wrs. yep. And they are very high on Charbonneau indeed. Plus gauthier played out of his mind in the gc.

Agree with all of that. Lber in general is my biggest lber concern. Kyrie isn’t a spring chicken and hasn’t been able to stay health either.

Kramdi already has far more starts. He’s a fringe starter, where as Augustine is a fringe roster guy. I think Kramdi in tc is kramdi last year in term of discussion. But I would be optimistic that his experience as a starter and the point in his career would lead to a step forward which likely makes it a none discussion. We’ve started some bad Ss and Sams. Kramdi is a lot better than that. Idk when the last time we had a bad starting rb with out better options (or injured)

Among imps Cole would be my choice. Juan Lua was a college S among the rookies. Parker has a lot of the skills to excel at S. For ni, kramdi would be a top choice. Kelly has the speed and intangibles to be a good one if he develops. If Cole is much better at wil, I think kyrie would work there too. Biggie has played deep cover extensively and Id actually rather see him at S than getting eaten up by ol half the time but we won’t do that. Keep in mind some of the awful Ss we’ve run out when ba has been hurt and before he swapped. A lot of guys could fill in Better than that. Imo, Kramdi could grow into his role by being the extra db, platooning and subbing in for certain situations. Ill say it’s a big difference between expecting an imp dt to be able to play right away vs an ni to be able to cover. But young guys do need chances. And I think we need to take lumps right now and identify the next wave of impact players.

And the only way for him to make meaningful improvements at this point is to have meaningful reps.

Yeah, mad rash of injuries. Too bad, but my expectations are real low. BA as the nat american would be dope. With Cole as DI, we could rotate and slide guys around to give a ton of different looks. Pepperidge farm always seems to be talking about pepperidge farm.

Wilson and biggies aged combined this year will tick up to 68. Cole could succeed at a few spots, and would be amazing at S especially. But I think he will be needed this year, it's just a matter of time. If any thing pressing happens on D for an NI, I think Gauthier should have earned more of a look though. He was one of our best defensive players in the GC.
