LET MY PEOPLE GO

Overall there's a lot to be excited about with the team going into the season. Offensively this team was going to be good. Basically one receiver spot to fill and that's it. Defensively we had a bit more uncertainty and spots to fill. We now have so many options there for LB and DT/DE. The CB spot is the only one that I'm not confident in. We got burnt a tonne at that position. Special teams you can imagine there will be some improvement by going with some younger guys that can run. Chris Smith with a 109 yard return. Let's go.

Somewhat frustrating as a fan going to a home game and being presented with the 3rd string team as the starters. I'll start with that. But we kind of knew that going in. Calgary was still running Peyton Logan at the end of the game. So good for you Calgary. You won 😂. O'Shea says he doesn't like to lose, but just like the first preseason game, there was almost zero chance of winning given the roster. We tried running the ball but not with a lot of success. Our o-line was not opening up much. They were almost as bad in pass pro. Wilson didn't have much of chance tonight. Sure he hopped a couple but to me it didn't look like he had a lot of opportunity to make plays. Offensively we were offensive top to bottom. But again, we had almost nothing to work with. Defensively there was a lot to like. Adams, Gemmel, Fuller stood out to me. Jake Kelly was pretty good for the time he was in there. Not sure about Demetrius Ford. Seems like you guys were seeing something but to me always ended up not making the plays. Bill Hackett stood out to me as a very speedy guy, not that he was great either. Tre Thomas, not sure if he has the ability to play SAM. I don't think he's big enough to play the more traditional LB spots

Preseason gonna preseason

Scheduled start is 9:40

Upper. Row 1. I was annoyed enough by the cable. My normal seats are row 8. Elite

A sweep and your DT is making thst play. Dear god

Grainger has a cannon

My camera is my face but I'm more interested in drinking beer than watching what the receivers are running. Sorry

I sat in that first row for a game last year and I hated it. Can't imagine how bad it is now

Wilson may not be pushing the ball downfield. But he has the ability. Just needs time. Looks good to me

Maybe they'll actually run the ball this week and give Chris Smith a chance to show his skills

I wonder if Darren Grainger is getting a reasonable opportunity to unseat Terry Wilson as the 3rd string QB going into the season. With Collaros and Strev out he should get his fair share of snaps.

No surprises there. Adams stands out as the guy that led our team in receiving yards in preseason. But that doesn't really mean much.

I think you'd have to be watching very closely to figure out who has the inside track to take that last receiver position. They are pretty much trying everyone. The other day it was Ronnie Blackmon

I guess Wilson has officially won the job as #3 (for the mean time). Now they have a new QB to start evaluating and taking reps. Interesting that the other adds are defensive linemen

Interview with Josh Johnson. Obviously not going to give much insight into his skills but he seems pretty excited to be here.

Oh sweet! Should be heading out for fan fest Sunday and will be picking that up

Kody Case sure seems like one of those guys that can be "multiple" on offense...playing Demskis spot. Liked his returns in Sask too.

@DTonOB noted on Twitter that Josh Johnson was working with the 1s yesterday too. That kind of came out of left field for me.

Fair points for not keeping 3 QBs on the AR. You could replace the 3rd QB with a Canadian or Global player. Might be a good call if the 3rd QB isn't going to be doing anything.

Isn't the active roster built for 3 QBs though? It would be 3 on AR and 1 on PR

Sucks for Lawson but not particularly concerned unless it's long term. We need to be good at the end of the year and we are still a great team that will win football games.
