    It is what it is.  Training camp and offseason in general just built no depth on a team that is relying on a lot of tenured players.  At this point if we have a couple Canadians go down we'll be really scrambling just to fill the roster.

    The rosters are pretty limited. Nobody is deep in Canadian players. We start OL, RB, DT and receivers and we have multiple backups at all those spots except RB. I don't see anyone carrying more than 2 or 3 Canadians on their practice rosters.

    The thing to me about the lbing core is yeah the young imps didn’t show well enough to stick around. But clements was as bad as any lber and you can’t expect him to get much better now 3 ish camps into his career. 
     

     

    It's honestly bizarre to me. Bringing in so few LB prospects and playing Maruo so much is indefensible.

    It's hard to complain too much when our leadership is so successful but it really feels like they are losing their edge this year. I liked the comment earlier in this thread about Wally Buono cutting players at this point in their careers and we haven't seen O'Shea cut one of "his guys" in awhile. 

    Coming off a 15-3 season it's impossible not to predict a regression but the question is whether this is a 12-6 team or a 9-9 team. Injuries will play a role.

    I share some of the same worries and I think there's some validity to it. O'Shea has a veteran bias but I personally still trust him to make the right call. The LB recruitment crop was weak. Cole and Clements aren't good enough. We know this. Couple this with Bighill being old and unable to practice and we have some trouble in the LB corps. Yes Biggie is a vet but he needs to practice. Briggs isn't a starter. I do really like Gauthier however.

    The DL should be fine. I have no concerns with Jefferson and Jeffcoat. Ricky Walker deserves a shot at starting but Caleb Thomas is right there ready to take his spot. I look at that as a scouting win. Haba won the 3rd DE spot and I have no reason to hate on that. He came in late and played well. He won the job we all knew was available.

    One spot I echo some concerns is with the RB situation. I don't like that Oliveira already gets the country club treatment in camp and Augustine clearly isn't a starter so we have some weakness there. In some ways I feel like we're dictating our rosters based on Andrew Harris being our RB but we could let go...there are options in that spot.

    Overall I look at our roster and see a dominant lineup. The OL is strong unless Bryant and Neufeld really fall off a cliff. The receiving corps is dynamite. I'm not sold on BOLO yet but as a backup Canadian he is well above average. The defence is going to have trouble getting off the field when Willie and Jeffcoat can't get to the QB but I'm feeling pretty good about the roster.
