And he knows Todd Krenbrink

Not sure if people realize it's 8 Canadians now....you can use the nationalized for one of those.

You want the best players but you're fixated on cutting a guy just because he's played in the CFL before and is 26? Like I said....steaming.

Steamy hot take on a guy who is 26 talking like he is 36. Should cut Cam Allen because he's played a CFL game before too. Who the **** cares if a guy is a "vet" because he's played before or a rookie? Put the best team on the field to win the next game.

If Vaval is an every down player on D you basically need to dress a DI to cover that spot anyways because we don't have a Canadian who can play corner and punt returner is the most likely player on the whole team to get injured.

He has a QBR in the 70s without Lapo and a QBR around 100 with Lapo. I'm no fan of Lapo, but I live in reality. Lapo made the guy's career. He was a limited QB. When he was gunslinging he was almost 1:2 TD to turnover ratio with significant fumbling issues on top of INTs. Having a QB who could threaten teams vertically gave us the win in 19 behind that, Harris and the D. We don't beat Calgary and Sask on the road without that.

Yeah Matt Nichols lit the world on fire with other OC's.

I truly don't believe MOS is deciding who is on the field in which packages on O or D. I don't believe that is how the team is run from everything we've seen and heard from everyone involved right up through Walters and Wade Miller. I believe he wields strong influence on who is on the bottom 1/3 of the roster for special teams purposes, Canadians and DI's. But of the guys on the roster, I believe from basically everything we've seen that his coordinators are designing the packages including WHO is on the field. I think if you want to glean something from our deployment on D the past few years it's that Younger doesn't trust rookies. Even most of the guys we've brought in off the street into camp or due to injury and rostered had extensive experience in the CFL. Younger will only reluctantly put a rookie on the field.

I think we're really built to use 4 American OL if that's the best option....and a "backup" American at receiver that can be out there most of the game if we want based on using the roster rules. Also ALL our OL depth is American. Like if Neufeld or Eli say "sorry I'm done" tomorrow or someone tears their bicep, all we have to go with are Americans. Ultimately not going to matter how many American receivers out there if the interior OL is getting driven back and not letting QB eyes get downfield. Not that it isn't always but I think the lesson learned the last couple years is the offense relies on controlling the line of scrimmage. We saw that slide a little bit and really struggled to find any consistency pass or run.

Well JSK blowing his achilles running laps thins the field at LB and gets him paid through November.

Imagine having 16 OL in camp and only 5 being Canadian. If you told someone 20 years ago the league would shift that drastically toward having Canadians play at LB/DB and receiver/RB vs OL/DL they wouldn't have believed you.

I think really 3 spots. Don't really want Vaval starting even if you are going to give him some D reps, and probably want a DI on offense (receiver) or DL. But I think this team is really built to start 4 American OL if the Canadians at receiver and RB are healthy. Griffin can basically count as a DB too so that gives him a pretty big leg up. I think he's basically on the roster. Kind of fluid in terms of position. Wonder if they might use Allen more at boundary corner and Kramdi/Griffin at safety/SAM as a base.

Hopefully. They only have Taylor down as 17, Singer not even on the roster but listed as 72 in Tait's article.

FWIW every rep they showed in that video was against a Rifles player and he had zero separation on all of them. On one the Rifles LB switched onto him late and caught him. Guess if you're hoping the other team is in man and they send the WIL to follow him out there instead of just adjusting to a corner he'll give that. Every single player on a CFL defense will be more athletic than him other than maybe a nose tackle. Otherwise going to be a little rope and dope if his blocking is up to snuff to hope teams get locked on run and he can leak out and make use of the physicality to get some YAC. Doesn't look like he's going to get away from anyone. Nice clip of Elgersma throwing a INT.

Collaros worst seasons have higher QBR and higher YPA than someone like Khari Jones best years. If you graft Khari Jones into this era hard to know how that would look. Lot more on QB plate. Either way need to protect them. And that's been a big problem for us of late.
