Yeah for sure.  As I've said, the "starting" thing is a red herring.
All teams declare is: The game roster, the QB's, the 4 DI's (to me 2 of ours are obvious...Castillo and Mitchell, I'd guess Ayers then it's between 1 DL or Bridges) and how many Canadians on each side of the ball (7 across O and D...doesn't matter if you "start 10" this doesn't change).

American "backups" who aren't DI's can sub for anyone.
So say Adams isn't marked as a DI.  He can sub for Thomas/Gauthier etc.
If he's a DI when he comes on the field an American has to come off.
But ultimately they only need 1 Canadian on the field any given down on D.
Just a bit nuanced as to who can sub for who.

Lapo is in the mix with people like Jim Daley as a head coach.
His play not to lose decision making style results in a lot of 4-14 type seasons.
And he's never developed a QB.
He needs an O'Shea or Ken Miller to make sure he is aggressive.

They should have to list who the DI's are.
Big difference if it's one of the DL or Bridges.  Castillo and Mitchell for sure.  Ayers likely.  4th would be DL or Bridges.

Sounds to me like people are aching more for actual football analysis from media here rather than narrative analysis.  It's a problem with all sports coverage in this town going on a couple decades.
Nothing stopping CJOB from having that show, or putting together a podcast.  They have a decent podcast with Mackling and Doug Brown.  Could put that on the air.
You can really expect a coach to go on air and breakdown his own team or the next opponent etc.

We might have a silly looking DL for this game.
Surprised they didn't keep a Canadian LB/DB type around.

I disagree.  Kelly would be willing to tear guys down and go into depth on why what he was doing was great.
O'Shea isn't going to talk about personnel as a full boundary.  He isn't going to dissect players in public.  And that's fine.  Whenever he is engaged on intelligent football discussion about tactics, schemes etc he will go into great depth and engage.  It's just that we don't really have media who can engage that way.

Stanback is kind of a one dimensional player.  They will have to commit to the run.  He's pretty useless from pass sets as both a runner and receiver.

It's too bad 3Down has lost the insider kind of edge it started with.  At least 7 of the 9 people making those predictions contribute nothing journalistically.  Abbott fawns over BC and Hodge's basic knowledge of the sport is lacking.

Blitzing in general is a bad strategy.  Teams on O and QB's are prepared for it generally.  Need to be able to get pressure with 4 which was a deficiency last season.

All I know of the Jonas bros.

IMO BC's Canadian depth on D and OL is worse than ours minus Betts.
They need a lot from Bemiy, Cherry, Hladik, Beaulieu, Greene.  And they are hoping Covington isn't cooked.
We need to stay healthy though.
