I guess maybe, but … this feels like a decision you could understand in week 11. We broke camp knowing Garbutt was hurt and this was plan B?

I do find it mildly confusing that it’s literally week ******* one and we’re already “in a pinch” and sliding a DT out to play on the edge.

I mean, we all know you’re going to push the pro Canadian thing no matter what

I mean, aren’t they all dressing? It’s been so long since I’ve paid attention to this - what’s the difference at this point? All 45 guys listed are dressing so is there a limit on how they can sub in for any of them?

I don’t really want to get into this argument because it opens up a whole other can of worms BUT the team really shouldn’t be giving out “recognition” in the depth chart. The presumption is that these players are going to start the game and take a strong share of the snaps, the teams owe it to fans to be accurate and not purposely misleading with these depth charts since the CFL wants to throw gambling in everyone’s face at every turn these days. If they’re just giving Thomas and Gauthier lifetime achievement awards and a honorary first snap, that’s also a problem that needs to be addressed. What teams should be forced to disclose prior to kickoff (not today) is their ratio declaration on each side of the ball.

lol I will just say this because at the end of the day, I’m just excited to go watch meaningful football tomorrow and the games are played between the lines not on the depth charts. If we had a genuine open training camp with spots to be won and the best we could do at MLB, knowing Bighill was injured all along, is Shayne Gauthier … and the best we could do at DT was Jake Thomas … just fire our scouts I guess now, I’m assuming we’ll see a lot of Woods. And Cole. Probably not a lot of Ayers. But still … sheesh .. come on

Gauthier at MLB tomorrow according to the depth chart

Yes

Bighill/Sankey being on a top 50 list while Evan Holm, Dewayne Hendrix, Ben Hladik, Nyles Morgan, etc are not is wild

The bottom half of the list is atrocious

TSN’s top 50 players list yet again shows how low the level of intelligence is amongst our overall media

I should’ve phoned in and asked how dare they cut Dylan Moses

Agreed wholeheartedly. I genuinely think he’s so competitive he doesn’t want to put anything out there for the masses that he doesn’t have to

I don’t think anyone’s complaining necessarily I think we’re just running out of things to talk about. let’s go back to talking about how negative TBURGESS is all the time for four pages of this thread

There shouldn’t be a barrier of entry based on the wording of questions for fans to get information from a show promoted to fans

It’s one of the things people would never stop talking about if not for us being such a good team. It’s the same level of disrespect directed towards the fans as what Mike Kelly used to deliver, it’s just dressed up differently

Fatigue

Marshall Ferguson’s write up on Bennett potentially heading to the Bombers is funny too. He cautions readers that we could make it work as long as we do some ratio juggling. Last I checked, you don’t have to do anything ratio wise to let a Canadian play. What kind of garbage is this lol

Props to the Bombers

I don’t know why the local media hasn’t picked up on this yet but Ontaria goes by Pokey and has since college lol

Pokey gonna get a touchdown

First drive touchdown, no red zone activity after that until late in the second quarter

I’m curious about their choice to not keep any extra edge guys if Garbutt is hurt Seems like a poor choice to me … even with Bennett possibly (probably?) on his way here

Jonas Brothers are a big deal the halftime show isn’t for the people who are already watching the game. It’s for the people who now may.
