Apparently Ford is going to play. Looking at that roster, I see a lot of potential. Few holes. Few question marks. Really don't like Dunn or Kuale. Other than that, I'm optimistic.

Silly complaint, who cares what the roster on a website says. Unamba and Dunn have been linebackers all throughout camp. 3 of those guys are Canadian special teamers. Suddenly 11 is 6, right where it should be.

On defense maybe. On offense? Not so much.

I'd look at Lawrence. Competition for Dunn maybe.

My preference ... Leggett at nickel, Sears at safety, Johnson at half.

Regarding what?

Ottawa gonna Ottawa.

Patrick Neufeld, Jesse Briggs and Drew Willy for Kris Bastien, Dylan Ainsworth and Johnny Mark. Interesting. Take it any day without thinking twice. Oh, 100%

God I hope we sign Jade. So much.

Bastien accepted a PR spot with Saskatchewan. Logic would dictate Etienne would not be offered a PR spot. Nor would he take one.

JFG plays special teams. Etienne doesn't. Worth mentioning ... he actually did play special teams last year. And oddly enough, he wasn't awful at it.

Thank god the Bombers didn't end up signing him. There was a point during the offseason where we were very interested.

Agreed. Etienne could start for Ottawa if you ask me.

Iso would have a stroke.

Maybe it's just because we are so thin ... but I can't remember this much Canadian talent hitting the streets on cut down day in a while.

I'd take a look at Travis Bent too. He's somebody I'd prefer to have over Stephan.

Obviously they haven't announced their PR but that's a lot of talent to look at. BRING BACK JADE

I certainly wouldn't start with that. You hold all the leverage

Yep. If you're a guy like Peach though, you'd be stupid to stay if you have any plans on starting in this league.

Peach would be more what we need than Hinse anyways. Depth at guard. He's good enough to be on our 46. Actually, I think he's good enough to be on a lot of 46 man rosters.

Rather than go after Hinse, I'd claim Billy Peach immediately. At least force Calgary's hand.

The more I think about it ... Gord Hinse is a big name, but realistically, without knowing the situation, it seems as if he got beat out by Justin Sorenson for a job. ^^ wizard above me

I don't want him, but Sands is an interesting cut. He had Edmonton staffers thinking they had the second coming of Pat Watkins on their hands .... until he played in a game.
