Jones made a bunch of tackles... grabbing at guys legs after they blew by him.

Ceresna the GOAT

To me it’s pretty obvious what their plan is on offence this year. It’s going to be a package/committee 12th man. 5OL (Bryant, Wallace, Ellsbury, Neufeld, Broxton) 1QB (Collaros) 1RB (Oliveria) 2 American Receivers (Pokey, White) 2 Canadian Receivers (Demski, Nield) and then 12 is going to be one of Chris-Ike (RB/FB), Daniels (TE/FB), Clercius (Receiver) or Cobb (Receiver) depending on the situation and play call.

Yeah looks like exactly what we hope(d) Perkins could be...

I think Major Williams looks ok too, but hard to tell who is blowing coverages from the wild zoomed in camera angles and shots of the crowd during play.

Well on your list of backups you have Peterson twice so one of him for sure

traded up for Jon Oosterhuis 2.0

I think it's more like for the last 5 seasons after the years of making a splash with Harris/Jefferson/Bighill in free agency, we've mostly been a wagon and just spent most of the payroll on retaining the guys we have. Although we've slowly lost 1-2 guys per year and are back to where we can afford to spend big again.

similar vein but less restrictive. The CFL as a whole could benefit from trying to develop QBs. Next time the cap is going up, the league should look at adding an extra roster spot for a developmental QB that is on the roster but is a gameday scratch. Can be American or Canadian. Then teams designate 1 player as their developmental QB. Ideally it's the same player all season, but if you set the salary to say 200k and then just divide it up by the season duration, you'll maybe entice some decent QB prospects who want to continue their career and not make CFL practice squad money.

Not to mention a positional coach running some drills in camp and practice and breaking down some film is a far cry from drawing up schemes and roster management that a coordinator or HC would be responsible for. A lot of hand wringing over what should be minimal impact.

That would actually make a bunch of sense based on what OShea said in the interview yesterday about a couple of options and it's TBD that Jackson is back. They probably want 1 of them in the mix as an offensive QC coach type and they want to figure out who it's going to be.

Is it just me or does it seem counterintuitive to pay up for the "ratio breakers" with the way O'Shea uses his roster? Don't get me wrong, I know the CFL is all about how good your Canadian talent is, but part of me thinks there's no point paying 250k+ for a star Canadian RB/DB/WR/whatever because we aren't maximizing our roster with the ratio to play the most American talent anyways. With the way MOS just plays 8-9+ marginal Canadian starters and rotates in 3-4 more, we'd almost be better off with 10-12 good but not great Canadians and save our money overpaying for the Canadian starter at a non-traditional position. I wish we would utilize the fact that we have the luxury of a Canadian RB by using the extra American on the DL or OL, but instead most games we just trot out 7+ more Canadians at the regular spots too...

Glass half full view is that maybe O'Shea having one foot halfway out the door this offseason is very positive for the next few season(s). If we had just quietly re-signed him and Walters to extensions, they probably just happily carry on with the status quo and continue the decline. I'm hoping that O'Shea going out and interviewing and getting some input from other teams lit a fire under his ass to come back here and do a serious re-load with a fresh outlook and new ideas.

Absolutely maddening depth chart. If we're so high on Canadian talent, why are our 2 talented rookie Canadian LBers not sufficient backups? It's to the point where we're rostering 2 DI LBs as backups along with them and once again completely nerfing the pass rush. Seems like we actually generated some pressure last week with the young DL on the roster. We'd better get them swapped off quick to get as many reps as we can for weary Willy, and tepid Thomas. Our DL is so washed up they don't even need to shower after the game.
