Mike

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

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

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

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. 

This is the first season in a long time where I can honestly say we don't have the worst starting QB situation in the league.

The list I'm interested to see is Toronto's.
 
They have a lot of edge rushers, I'd be interested in taking a look to see who shakes loose there.

I won't say completely devoid. There are a handful of talented rookie imports that I am excited about. Bruce Johnson, Maurice Leggett and Paris Cotton. That being said, one is injured and one probably isn't a starter so where does that leave us?
 
I'm just really, really disappointed at the level of defensive line prospects and receiving prospects we brought in. Look at our rush end depth. The backup is Louie Richardson. No offense to Louie Richardson, but that's sad.

Good to see you did your research.

Troy Smith is not good. Everyone will fawn over him because once every 15 snaps he makes a play where you go "wow" but he's inconsistent, inaccurate and really just not good.

Any time you go into the offseason with Desia Dunn, Aaron Kelly and Greg Peach as projected starters and come out of the following training camp with it being the exact same, you've done a bad job.

I can't possibly see how this fails.

He's been playing almost entirely against the starting D.
I'm sorry but Troy Smith sucks.

I literally don't think you could handpick a more mediocre group.

Thanks again to EVERYONE who contributed reports during camp.

There aren't many things worse than a Rusty Johnson.

Those other guys didn't fit into my argument.

I liked Dumas all TC and pre-season and thought he was very solid in coverage.
 
Cannot say I'm not completely disappointed by this though. Not that we cut the wrong guys, but that guys that really had no business even being on the team last year are still here. I really don't like settling for status quo veterans and that just seems like what we are doing due to poor scouting. The players that everyone thought were on the bubble this year as starters or role players were Morley, Kelly, Ford, Peach, Renaud, Suber and maybe Markett. Aside from Ford, no one has really been replaced or even pushed by a replacement and only Markett has absolutely deserved it due to his play. How hard is it to find a high quality international receiver? Joe Mack could do it.
 
I also agree that it made no sense to play Jaymar Johnson so much in the second pre-season because while I hate the idea of a mediocre 30 year old starting SB, what more could he have done?
 
In the end, I hate to lay any praise on any team but look at the rookie talent the Argos have brought in. Thaddeus Gibson was a very effective college player and just didn't have a position in the NFL. Greg Romeus was at one point a potential number one draft choice before injuries set him back. Vince Agnew was a Joe Mack find who most of us were super high on before he got another NFL shot and I wouldn't be surprised if he rips it up. Maybe it's the scheme that prevented good players from finding a place but it did seem like this was a camp devoid of real quality talent.
 
Joe Mack did a lot of things wrong, probably less than most people admit but that's not really the point. He always brought in rookie talent that got people excited. No one can deny that.
