It would be awesome if they played on the wider field but still at 100 yards long.

I think we will easily dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. cant wait to see him in game action.

One might say hes a stealth bomber... Foketi IS ironman!

Yeah, the snap to the pistol is a lot easier then to the full gun but yeah It all depends on who can snap.

I dont think any of them can be. Maybe Desjarlais? But I dont think so.

Imo, for the vast majority of teams its the next best OL. The drop off after that is steep. Since they get primarily used on the edge in short yardage packages I would think someone with the ability to play T would be a premium. Versatility is always huge in the cfl though. Especially for both NIs, and linemen. Since its generally "easier" to play guard, Ideally your 6th would be someone who can play Tackle, and you have to have someone who can snap in an emergency even if you have to shift guys around to make the replacement work. Shifting someone over and bringing in a back up on the OL is begging for struggle though.

Pretty much. Though we could always have some hidden on the IR as well. I think speller, kozcwara, and ODC could sit on the PR safely. Desjarlais would be a good fit as the 6th ol. Maybe gray even slides out to the TE spot on goal line packages and Desjarlais moves inside. Eli could be a dark horse for the 6th man as well since he is our other center. A pancake machine like eli is also extremely valuable in short yardage packages.

I wonder when we can expect an update on foketi.

dont sleep on Eli as well. The depth of young NI OL talent is insane this year.

Goff or not, he made a ton of amazing catches in that clip. Constantly high pointing the ball and catching with his hands. Great body control too.

I dont think we will either. But thats how it is. If we dont live up, even if we win the sky will be falling. It's Kyrie though, right? Poor guy really can't take anything for granted. I hope he can make the most out of his potential. Hes a great athlete and playing next to bighill will allow him a great amount of margin for error. I feel more and more comfortable with that spot each day. Though I still dream of an NFL returnee.

Depends on how we do early on.

New starters doesnt mean inferior. How many new starters at wr this year would be better then starters that had been around the team last year with more experience?

Last time we had a vet NI ol banged up and not practicing in camp but were told not to worry, he didn't end up dressing all season. Imo, I expected Hardrick will be fine. I think we are just being very cautious because we don't have imp ot depth, especially with foketi MIA. Neufeld I don't see him needing a lot of guard reps. But he's a guy who has had some injury issues in the past. As is he's the weak link in our projected starting group imo. Foketi is a tough one. The fact he has been on the PR here soo long and now isn't in camp but hasn't been cut tells me he hasn't just flown the coop. Hope everything is well with him. At the same time, does he need the reps? Imo yeah he does. While he has been the extra man for a long time, he hasn't been a go-to before. IMO the OL is will probably end up being Bryant, gray, couture, Neufeld and Hardrick. But with Neufeld having a lot of questions about health and shape. Desjarlais probably the 6th OL and Eli on the IR or 2 man active list. We could easily see some changes to the OL into the first few weeks of the season.

Wouldnt be TC if we didn't have some shenanigans going on on the forums.

Love this one soo much. The supporting roles really stole a TON of scenes in GOT. The hound was one of the very best in the whole series.

I need to get to doing this, cold showers help though. especially after training. Id love to try the full-on cryotherapy too.

Its gonna be tough. Between Nelson, lucky and santiago 2 guys will probably remain. 1 on the active roster and 1 on the PR/IR. Nelson and Santiago are soo young Id love to see them stick around and in camp again next year no matter what happens. Its nice to have a variety of dynamic, quick, versatile return guys in camp this year. I fully believe all 3 are talented to the point they should be in the cfl.

Harris, can't count how many times he's put the bombers on his back and carried the team. Stanley bryant the cornerstone of the line and first step in our rebuild. Medlock. Won us soo many games with crazy amounts of field goals and great punts. Hardrick. Allways down field on run plays never quits. Bighill. completely changed our front 7 and Ds performance. A shout out to the under dog guys, JFG when he was here, chad remple, wade miller (on STs) Mo, could have been our MOP every year he was here. Randle island.

great point.

iirc didnt they cut him in camp?

Which one? oleary?

Soo bad, I have soo many memories of DD committing horrible PI and UR fouls and getting scorched.

Yep. There was talk about him "just being a guard" prior to the end of the season and bond said he could do both, and had played some T in the past but never here.

The riders tried it and it failed miserably. Hardrick struggled at guard early on before bond came onto the roster at guard and hardrick slid over.
