I’d love to see Durant return and be given the starting assignment for game 1.   First play on offence the oline moves aside and let’s Edmontons front seven nail him. That would definitely get a better cheer than the one when Austin got hurt and Slingin Sammy came in. I believe Austin gave the crowd the finger while leaving the feild as the crowd chanted “Sammy Sammy”. This oline would get a standing ovation if they let Durant get pasted. 
To be honest Durant is so fat and out of shape I’d be surprised if he even beat out Bennett for the number 3 spot.

I'll be genuinely disappointed if they go out and trade for a QB at this point.  Roll with the guys we have.

Based on how O'Shea has handled injuries in the past, are we going to get anything more than "day-to-day" no matter what the actual injury is?

Matt is in the queue, only another 48 hours till he gets his turn!

Yeah this isn't true at all. I tore my ACL mcl and meniscus and after laying on the field for a while I tried to get in on the next play before noping out of the game. Then I walked to my car, drove to a party and then home. And I'm no professional athlete

McDonald did my reconstructions at Pan Am. Burnell has about a year waiting list but took a look at my X-rays and promised to get me in 4months.  Rehab sucks but nothing near the discomfort before. I work out regularly and have no issues with it. Don’t put it off man. You are losing valuable days of pain free time. 
Now...given the crap that I have gone through (concussions, broken noses, stitches etc and never having any aspirations of going pro in sport....I would not have given up my years of football and hockey. I developed many close and important relationships that I values still to this day. Sport helped me communicate and work with others.  I learned to respect others importantly my own abilities, but also kept me humble. I encourage my 3 boys to play whatever team sport they want because those times being on a team help shape who you are. Two are committed and playing high school football(RiverEast and West K) and the other hockey (RiverEast Royals). All three train all year round for their respected teams and plan to play in University.  It keeps them away from a lot of negative influences and focussed on their grades as they realize that is going to be a big part of continuing towards their goals.  Life is about being part of a team and life is competitive. You compete in the work force, our health/wellbeing, and sometimes even love lol. It’s made me a better professional in my career and a better family member.  Injuries can happen anywhere at anytime doing almost anything, but the personal traits you develop through sport help you fight through a lot personal battles that are much more challenging.

I can relate Booch. I had the same amount of knee surgeries minus one on the second knee. Tore all the ligaments twice in the right knee. First time was at age 17 and the second time I was 19. They had to take tendons from the left to use to graft the ligaments in the right. Meniscus was eventually taken out at 24 because you can only shave it down so many times. The pain from arthritis throughout my late 20s and and 30’s was torture. It was to the point I was chewing up percs like they were coming out of pez dispensers. Finally and thankfully in 2015 at the age of 42, I got my knee replaced and i have zero pain. Dr Burnell from Concordia hip and knee clinic is absolutely amazing. I don’t even need to take an Advil anymore. Right hip needs to eventually be replaced, but cordisone shots every 6-9months are doing the job for now. I totally recommend getting a replacement if one is required. I can’t begin to tell you how much of a difference it makes and the improvement of quality of life.

I think someone was asking about this:
 

Thought I did, to be honest. Had the mobile window open and apparently didn’t hit post reply. Don’t visit either forum much anymore unfortunately so didn’t notice until just now. PS I don’t run this site at all and I’d say it’s unfair to Rich and the moderation team to suggest I participate in the day-to-day operations of this place whatsoever.
 
Here are my camp thoughts so far based on the odd times I've stopped in at practice:

Chris Streveler plays a lot like Mike Reilly without the polish of the veteran experience. Threat to run, threat to beat you over the top with a good deep ball and he is slowly picking up on the timing routes in the middle parts of the field. I haven't watched him a ton but I have noticed he's improved day by day that I've been there. I think he's our number 2 by September, if not out of camp.

Myles White might be the best receiver in camp ... think Weston Dressler with a bit more size. His moves in the middle of the field and ability to make guys miss is something that this roster could really benefit from. I don't know if there's a day one spot for him at this point, but his return abilities and an ongoing performance in camp/pre-season games could push one of our three out the door or put him on the roster some other way.

Kembrell (I think?) Thompkins wears really short shorts. He looks like the kind of deep threat that I would liken to a guy like Brandon Banks, but a little bigger ... he's never going to catch 90 passes, but I could see him grabbing 50 for 800-1000 yards in the right offence. I just don't know if that's here. They've had him on the neg list for a while so he's going to get a chance, but he's not the future (already older than Darvin) and so I really can't say for sure that the timing is right with him. Rueben Randle is another one ... I just don't know how these NFL guys crack the roster. Could be something to watch though.

Forgotten about has been the linebacker battle now that we signed Bighill, but honestly I'm putting JSK on my roster over Wild at this point. Do they both make it? Who knows but if you're looking for cap savings, Wild could be a candidate ... then again, so could Drake Nevis because Brandin Bryant looks like a force at DT and compliments Poop Johnson well in terms of skill set.

Marcus Sayles ... we always go out and scout all these big bodied defensive backs and then of course it's a little fella who lights up the camp. His nose for the ball is incredible, but I want to see how he plays with the lights on. So far, going against the same guys with the same playbook and the same tendencies every day has served him very very well but let's see how he does with a different opponent. Also been impressed by Seisay (until he got nicked) and I've seen flashes from Humes (who is built like a mack truck)

Rashaun Simonise and Daniel Petermann ... jesus christ... these two guys are solid. Simonise is going to be a day one starter for us, he's left Wolitarsky behind if you ask me - even if DW is healthy. All three will be on the roster though.

Week One Roster Prediction?

QB - Nichols, Streveler, Ross
RB - Harris*, LaFrance
FB - Rush, Miller
OL - Bryant, Neufeld*, Goossen*, Chungh*, Hardrick, Couture
REC - Bowman, Adams, Dressler, Simonise*, Demski*, Petermann, Wolitarsky, White (DI)

DL - Jeffcoat, Okpalaugo, B. Bryant, Poop, Roh (DI), Corney, Ekakitie
LB - Santos-Knox, Bighill, Fenner, Wild (DI), Miles, Briggs, Gauthier
DB - Randle, Leggett, Loffler*, Gaitor, Alexander, Jones, Firlotte

K - Medlock (DI)
LS - Rempel

As much as I like Flanders, I just don't see him on the squad even if they part ways with a guy like Ian Wild and use Wilson/Gause instead. What do we need him for? He played a hybrid slot/tailback combo and Demski looks like he can very clearly fill a very similar role in our offence. There's only one football and I'd rather they look at ways to integrate a guy like Myles White into the offence instead so that when we go deeper into the season and have some injuries, he's not going to go all deer-in-the-headlights on us. Bowman/Adams/Dressler/Harris/Demski/White/Simonise/LaFrance is a ridiculous amount of weapons on offence and Flanders just loses the numbers game in my opinion. I also see them getting creative on defense with the ratio ... we'll "start" two there since I expect we'll have rotations that put two Canadians on the field all the time anyways - makes it easier to get Myles White on the field in certain packages if we want to give Harris a breather, throw Demski in the backfield and roll 4 imports on offence at times
