Who cares about the playbook? What he calls and when he calls it is what matters.

If this was the 2010-11 offseason we'd be complaining about having to hire a guy who is the head coach of the Grey Cup champions in 2013. Chamblin wasn't a DC until 2011. I'm happy to have some younger blood in our coaching ranks, and Barron Miles is a guy on the way up.

Are you sure they don't hate it? Very limited options.

Mediocre OC with a terrible track record for developing QB's. Better hire a solid QB coach.

At least it's not Kabongo...

Is it possible he could have improved after going to Hamilton? I didn't pay attention to him myself so I'm honestly not that sure. O'Neill is a good centre, average OL overall as he can play all interior spots. Hage is also a good centre.

Another guy with a checkered injury history though.

Didn't he miss most of the season with PCS? Ottawa didn't get many guys who are without pretty major question marks, although the talent level isn't bad.

Only if you're in some kind of bizzaro world. They have one starting quality NI in Shologan. Almost all of their OL are damaged goods or failed prospects, a couple are still prospects. Hage and Eppele would stroll into the Bomber O-Line. Hage is done with the knee injury. Eppele will have a long career in a 9 team league, but is he anything more than an average guard. Not yet. You could put Morley in Eppele's jersey and Eppelle in Morley's and you wouldn't know the difference aside from Morley's gut. Hage (when available) is better than anything NI Wpg has on the line. So is Eppele and he's still improving. Equating him with Morley is baffling. Total disservice to Eppele. to wit: a guy who was behind Eppele on our O-Line depth chart (Parenteau) strolled into your line... and you think Eppele wouldn't?? Morley and Swiston were injured when Parenteau dressed as our 6th OL in Edmonton.

Gotta get Butler signed first. Rumour is he'd like to follow Fantuz footsteps back home.

They have depth anyways. Deane wasn't going to start for them and has a titanium rod in his leg, they'd obviously had enough of Fraser as well to leave him exposed behind 14 guys with MacDougall in reserve. Saskatchewan lost both of their interior NI DL. with Foley still with the team, I think they are going import on that DT position. If Foley has to play a majority of the snaps, his effectiveness is going to plummet.

Calgary or Saskatchewan. Hard to believe that Fraser and Capiciotti were available in the 3rd round. Kinda wish we would have made some trade offers on guys like that before the freeze. Is Hage going to report to Ottawa? Ottawa will have the best 2 TE sets in the league anyways. Can never have enough fullbacks.

I only saw two training camp sessions last season, but DiCroce was horrible in both of them. Dropping everything even in the warmup drills. The day after the second one they announced the foot injury. He certainly didn't look like a guy with CFL potential hands-wise.

My thought through this whole "process" as well. If they don't take free agents, they'll have a roster full of crap. Even if they can't get some guys signed, they can cause a whole lot of chaos and end up with some extra draft picks or neg listers by drafting pending free agents. Also doesn't make sense to proclaim the lack of interest in free agents if true, because you just skewed everyone's protection list against you.

Bellefeuille's a worse OC than head coach.

Calgary would be crazy to not protect both kickers IMO. Harder to replace than anyone else they could lose in the second round.

I would say he has gotten better in the last couple of years, but before that there always seemed to be questionable call against the Bombers when we played Montreal. When a game doesn't involve Montreal, I have no problems with him as a ref. Perception, or reality? Most of the botched Montreal-Winnipeg games have been officiated by Murray Clarke.

Griggs didn't show enough to deserve to be protected. I'd protect Anderson and McAdoo ahead of him, Anderson is the most valuable of the 3, finding import pure pass rushers is easier than finding running backs now.

I'd be shocked if Etienne is available in round 3. We literally have no one to protect.

They have Curran. Sherritt has a wonky thumb that limited him or had him out of the lineup most of last season and a huge contract. Would be a risk from Walters perspective, but Neufeld missed nearly an entire season from a broken leg that hasn't healed and was reinjured when he tried to return. I don't believe Ottawa will select him for that reason, and I think they will be starting two import tackles anyways.

Here's my mock protected lists. They assume that what everyone around the league is saying is true, that Ottawa won't select free agents. I didn't bother going to round 3 because quite frankly the players that will be left are not that good. Some of Ottawa's picks in the first two rounds will be marginal players if they truly avoid free agents.
