Ford at CB and Kramdi at LB = 2 Canadian starters = we don't have to start a Canadian DT.

So has Mrs. KBF...

Yeah, obviously it’s one pre season game, things could change. But the riders ran starting dl and they have a decent unit. 
 I wouldn’t be surprised if Wallace gets nfl looks after a year starting here and kick around a bit like desjarlais. Dude is clearly far better than was commonly believed. 

I’m hopeful. There’s a lot of guys on D that I would like to see them keep around and I’m hoping we don’t just hand the spot over to the second-year guy because they’re a “veteran” (see: Tyrique McGhee) when there are better options in the rookie class (see: Marquise Bridges)
Between Bridges, D’Abreu, Thomas, Moses and a few other guys, I see a lot of talent on the recruiting class on D this year and I hope it sticks around 

Anybody who has followed the club the past number of years can see MOS values hardworking Canadian foot soldiers and guys he locks in on as key despite obvious drawbacks (See Jake starting, Briggs getting defensive reps last year, Sam Hurl, Kuale, Roc Carmichel, Hecht, Jackson)

I am now having the same hunch unfortunately
That...or we may keep some....but won't see the roster due to the afore mentioned hard trying foot soldiers...who have no business as starters or heavy use rotation pieces...

Has nothing to do with any of that. I’m sensing I’ll be frustrated with the cuts because they’ll lean heavily ignorant of the issues plaguing our roster. We’ll lose some talented players who could develop into impact starters in order to keep good foot soldiers who try hard.
 
Again, just the hunch I have

Could go either way on Collaros.  Think he wants lots of reps so might go a series or two into 3rd Q.  Probably smarter to give him like 3-4 series, Streveler about the same then Wilson and maybe a series or two for Barriere.
I don't think MOS views playing Collaros as much as he wants as a risk like most of us probably do.

I woud think he just does short yardage plays to get in sync with the line...

I’d be sad if they cut Wilson though.  Have rarely seen a guy show up as a CFL rookie who looks to have legit potential as a passer..not a thrower or scrambler.

I would suggest Collaros is 1 hit away from being finished. He’s not a spring chicken so if they think Barry can be the future, perhaps it’s best to let him develop on the PR. 5 years on the neg list to me means they gonna give him a chance to develop unless he truly is just a systems QB. 
 
Next game id give Zach and the starters 2 series. Strev can have the rest of the first half then Wilson and Barry can finish it off. 
 
maybe even give Barry and Wilson a series with the starters also. 

I thought Barriere stunk and I won’t be surprised if they cut him, but I also won’t be surprised or upset if they PR him.
The most valuable position, the toughest to learn and we as fans have the quickest trigger finger? They believed in him enough to wait 5+ years, if their evaluation is that there’s more to work with than what one half of preseason football suggests, I’m okay with that.

how does playing 2 import DT's negate continuity?...with whom?....You play WJ/HABA/lets say Garbutt..Fox/Lets say Woods....and toss in Schmeckle as he the only viable Canadian available to us now who has possible upside and isnt a dead weight with none (Jake) how is that not continuity if you roll with that?
There is no reason for us to possibly start 3 Nats on defence now, with 6 on offence when we dont...or wont roster anyone to take advantage of the flexibility?...We should not start any more than 8 Canadians at most right now....even that isn't really doing anything to make us better in all truthfuness
I can't think of one player in this regime in last 4..5 yrs who came in and pushed a vet out of his starting spot, and off the roster...even our pluggers who only saw work on teams were never really ousted either....corret me if I am wrong, but save for when there was absolutely nobody returning at a position nobody new has ever been rewarded with a spot...
well...that right there is reason enough to use his and Biggies cashola on Kongbo....fits a need...can play inside in certain sets....we all know he can play....and I bet a return here would totally be the thing that gets him back to where he was....Throw Jakes salary at him too and park his fat buttocks on the PR just in case....and let Schemck see if he can amount to anything against other teams starters while in rotation...Jake will offer us nothing next yr...so why even go down that road...Kingbo and possibly Schmeck could tho....so the time is now to find out...forward thinking and planning is what keeps you on top of the mountain....not relying on past glory and players in their golden yrs

Darrin Bauming  @DarrinBauming · 1h Mike O’Shea says Cam Lawson may return later this season. He’s likely to miss more than six games.

Anyone know the nature of all of these injuries? I would assume the new turf isn't to blame since a bunch seemed to happen before camp, and Lawson's happened on the road.

People like to point to the Jeffcoats or Schoens as evidence that this regime isn't afraid to insert rookies when they show well enough. I often wonder though, if either of those guys had been blocked by an aging veteran (or inferior Canadian) instead of competing for a spot that happened to be open, would we have ever uncovered them? Like if Walters had re-signed Adams, does Dalton end up lighting it up for another team after being cut in training camp?

I am worried about the start of the season given how injuries are piling up. I expect to be frustrated about some of the cuts. I suspect to be mad about roster decisions. I'd like this on file now for future reference.

I think Kramdi likely rotates in and out with Cole starting as well.

Don’t think Kramdi will start. I think it’ll be Cole at Sam. But with ford, 3 ol, rb, 2 wrs we will be ok. As long as Brady is ok

The conspiracy theorist in me would like to believe that we 6 gamed Miller to be an assistant coach last year, and that we are doing the same with Biggie this year, but there is that little pesky rule that 6 gamed players can only attend the building for the purposes of medical and are not allowed to be on the practice field or in team meetings during that time. Naturally there are some pretty easy ways to circumvent some of that, but unfortunately not a whole lot.

I'd also like on file, 'Just make the damn playoffs, make the damn show then damn well win it!'

and we dont even have to start both....personally I would let Clericus be the 5th WR and start 7 on offence, and go all import on defense.....start Ford as I believe he a baller but not declre an Nat on the defensive side
