Well for me the issues is that Kornelson is your depth... now maybe the guy is some hidden gem, but I doubt it, and I doubt he was the absolute beat option for that spot. An injury happens and he is it for depth on the DL and that's a concern.

Personally I'd have gone white as the vet receiver, but that is minor IMO. The big issue, as it was last year is decisions in the front 7 on D, defensive line in particular. Basically they are saying "we are OK with Thomas playing the whole game if we need and we don't need depth there". Which is ludicrous when you look at the ages of the starters....

Players play better we win... maybe better roster usage nets those few plays needed... -
Because the DL depth sucks on the depth chart... they've got a linebacker listed as the only backup DE... they've got 3 Canadian DTs for some reason instead of proper DE depth. We can quibble about whether they made the right choices in terms of players at db or lb but what they did with the DL is a god damned disgrace from a positional perspective.

Thomas is more like the old dude who's been there forever who is just running down the clock until retirement. The younger more productive people roll their eyes at how useless they are. -
Well pick the correct Jones at least... Osh gotta get over this incumbent bias.

Stats without context don't mean a hell of a lot... What were the situations in which those stats were accumulated? The bulk of strevelers starts came in his first year as a complete raw rookie early in the year or in year 2 when the team was in the midst of battling for playoff positions... and last year he played more fullback that qb for whatever reason.. When did Ford play? Was it when the elks were already out of contention?

Wilson is a good player, just always injured. It's not that he is starting so much as it's using a roster spot on a guy you’re unlikely to be able to rely on all season at the expense of someone you might be able to. -
Stats without context are just the best...

Bottom line Ford was serving up suicide passes to his receivers... he better figure his **** out before he gets someone killed.

Bronze: Two Pillars Dark Strong - Two Pillars Brewery I tell you what, that beer will knock you on your ass. If you like Belgian beers and are in Calgary that's the place to go. Their Belgian pale is tremendous.

Wait so you're telling me breweries in winnipeg don't do water adjustments? That's also a bullshit argument too. Calgary has hard water as well. I don't know what winnipeg is like but I know Calgary is comparable to Munich and I think the Germans managed to brew ok... Hard water does lend itself better to malt forward beers where as soft water does make the hop character shine through more but even a ton of people who home brew adjust their water to the style they're making.

So for me moving from woogie to clercius is just identifying a young guy who is quickly surpassing the vet and moving on... which is what good teams do.... so what the **** is the excuse on defense at a couple positions? -
let's be totally honest, most of the new IPAs these days are just dump a **** ton of hops in and make it taste like juice. bring back more of the classic west coast IPAs I say. The hazy ones have their place, but too many beers these days are neglecting the malt aspect of a beer.

What like 15 years ago? Bulldog was a fine option when options were limited but the style has progressed since then.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers made a move that surprised some fans during their post-training camp cuts, keeping veteran receiver Dillon Mitchell while releasing second-year target Myron Mitchell. Really? Fans were surprised? Which ones? We kept the vet free agent over a 1nd year guy who underwhelmed in year 1... this is a shocker! -

Yeah this is the thing for me... you only need 2 Canadian dts. If injuries happen you shift things around to compensate but there is absolutely no need for 3 of them, especially when they don't do anything special.
