    They got Buck in 2010, all you have to do is pick 3 more in the next three years......

     

    And again, I don't care how they find the replacements, the fact is they haven't been prepared for the departures that have occurred.

    Parker was the preparation in case Bowman left, why would they keep Parker around than for a full year if he could not slot up into the starting lineup. Greaves was also groomed to go in the Labatte spot. I don't think you grab the concept of player development and the role of the practice squad.

    Guys with NFL experience....really, I'd take as many as those as Mack can convince to come North, unfortunately most are just prospects not professionals.

    I could also spit out three former NFLers that the CFL has swallowed and spit back out for everyone that's worked.

    Apparently it wasn't as obvious to some but, it should be common knowledge for football fans that when you replace a proven player at a position with a prospect there is usually a learning curve and drop off at the position before any real progress is made. Thinking you can just 'plug in' a prospect (even a sophomore) at the professional level without a drop off initially, is just foolish.

     

    Now a team that goes from GC finalist to out of the playoffs the following year (in spectacular fashion too boot) should be enough proof of the kind of drop off you can have if you go too far.

  9. Esks Didn't Announce Roster Until 10 Am This Morning

    Media & fans are not happy up  in Edmonchuk as Ed Hervery & those silly Eskimos waited 14 hours before announcing their team cuts & PR. Didn't post anything on their website until 10 am this morning. I see this as a PR slap in the face when all other 7 teams announced their rosters on time & yet Edmonton kept their fanbase in the dark for so long. Some fans are saying Hervey did this to pay back the Edmonton media for ignoring the team when it came to coverage compared to the Oilers. Some fans thought it was great. Some fans thought it was bush league & won't help the team relationship wise with the local media. Me, I think it's the  height of arrogance to ignore their fanbase like that. Hoping the CFL can fine Edmonton for their actions. What's the point of having a deadline if it isn't followed?

    I don't think they can fine them because they did submit to league before deadline.

    Younger, cheaper again, it's the mantra of this regime, so no, there hasn't been any change.

     

    Change would have been going out and plugging the holes in the team with veteran free agents who could make an impact immediately without the growing pains.

    starting line up is actually older and more experienced this year than last.
