Our entire defense aside from Jefferson Gauthier and Thomas has turned over since 2022. Kickers, receivers. Not sure the emotional reaction to cut down day is warranted. But I guess football is too boring.

How many CFL rookies did the Argos keep on their roster post cutdown?

Well they signed a pretty big number of free agents. Although all of those guys probably don’t deserve to make the team, like Stearns I personally don’t see a need/fit for. Mitchell has a track record so you’re hoping he can be the 1300 yard pace guy. White looked good to me in the home game. Also pretty good number of guys going into year 2. Like say a Wheatfall. I hope his pre-season dominance carries over…QBs seem to love him. I don’t think we want a pile of rookies starting…really searching for the depth to fill in when needed and take spots maybe next year when some others need to get paid. It’s easy for the rookies to look good because it’s like meeting someone for the first time…you see all the good and upside. We know the warts on the old guys and the excitement is gone. But not the best barometer for long-term success.

Last time we had a week 1 bye we swapped out half our DL and receivers of the guys who “made the team.”

Won’t make changes for injured lists until later in the week.

Dandy was way better in the games. I expect we will see him again here or somewhere else.

Released Kevin Brown too.

If you’re at this depth of worry, time to take a break. There’s plenty of long snappers around including Leroux. If they kept him you’d be complaining they kept a roster spot for a long snapper and cut someone else.

Wheatfall

My biggest wtf is Sterns. Guy was ass in both games. Hasn’t returned. He’s the kind of receiver our QBs don’t work well with…Zach loves the catch radius guys. Must have had an amazing camp

This won’t be close to game roster and won’t for any team. Week 1 shuffle then Week 2 because that’s when we play finally.

Honestly can’t believe Robustelli didn’t make Sask active roster. And for all the lack of Canadian OL…Erik Anderson goes back to school.

But have you thought about Right Tackle? If he turns his shoulders completely toward our end zone after the snap he’s eligible to receive a hand off off of the line. Could easily run that play 8-9 times a game.

Well there’s basically no one that’s went from the Rifles to the CFL who isn’t a long snapper. He can also play for the Rifles and be on Bombers PR.

Saskatchewan needs them if they are Canadian. They have 3 Americans they like.

Keep in mind he was getting reps vs similar level players in the 2nd half.

More accurately they have a Canadian taking 90% of the reps at the spot. So it’s never going to be efficient to slot an American who isn’t a returner for the other 10%. Especially when we’re a little light on healthy Canadians at the moment.

I think basically impossible with all our Canadian DBs injured at the moment. Otherwise that’s where you could make it work. Have all your backup DBs be Canadian.

Dandy would be real hard to cut.

Literally impossible to be a fumble. Either a non-catch or catch down by contact.

I think we’re probably going to cut 3 guys who are better than him…and him. White vs Wheatfall is a tough one. Wheatfall more of an outside guy, White more inside. Sterns to me is a pretty easy cut.

Enough to win a roster spot when we don’t have a returner.

He’s been the only returner who doesn’t stop his feet coming into first contact. And he looks pretty comfortable handling punts.

The CFL is contractually obligated to not show field goals apparently.

Well…Woodbey is all over the field. D Mitchell vs Vaval for returner. Might come down to overall roster issues for who wins out. Wheatfall looking great from the outside. White hasn’t got in until the 3rd and 4th QBs. Think Sterns made the decision on himself with drops in each game.
