I can't believe they cut (insert names). Its outrageous. 

I hope we don't start 10 Canadians, heck don't go over 8. MOS needs to get over his fetish.

I'm really hoping that Jordan Younger, given the extra responsibilities, will have a lot more say in how the defense is set up and that he will be pushing this group to reach its full potential. I mean, it's his job. O'Shea has been pretty clear in the past that he gives his assistants a lot of leash. So now it's time for a Younger guy to put his stamp on this team.

I mean … I genuinely don’t really know what people are upset about. We got what we all asked for, didn’t we?
Bridges, Bonds, Ayers, Adams, Woods, Wilson and Mitchell. 7 new guys on the roster, we didn’t keep McGhee, we found a new linebacker, the roster seems set up to have a strong rotation on the DL.
Ayers over Gemmel or Moses doesn’t wow me, but it’s not enough to get me upset either. I liked Ayers, I like that we get younger there and that we kept Gemmel on the PR too.
Bridges and Bonds are two names I’m super happy to see kept in the secondary.
We spent all camp talking about how nobody seems to have a clear idea of who should win the WR5 spot and now we’re mad about who won it? In fairness to both Pokey and Mitchell, they had to work with mostly chicken **** in the preseason so how fair is it to judge? 
 
We all wanted Adams kept and they didn’t mess that up at all.
Overall, I’m happy with how this ended up.

Odd use of the PR right now....which kinda isnt a shock, but it's early
That taylor depth chart...is that hgis assumption.....cause if it's actually what he was told then not as happy with how I originally saw things.
Smith will be around till healthy, thinking Moses too for part of the yr to see how he comes along, but happy with Gemmel and Ayers...if you look way back to posts before TCI diud say I liked At=yers and he could be the darkhorse to be rostered.
Thik we kept the right recievers, tho the pecking order/PR spots may change...I see what they might like in Mitchell...the twitchyshit he has and his playing well above his weight class, but still think Johnson is the most roster ready guy...he's the most polished and has that look of a typical CFL reciever
Like the DL deph and guys....and leads me to think that we go primarily import up front with I hope Schmeckleas the rotational Canadian...Thomas serves no purpose or upside/future so end that sad experiment now....Also Mason BenneTTI am 100 percent will be here in the mix and basically was a numbers/cash/ratio thing there....and if he lands here then we are set up well with who we kept.
I'm guessing sine we parted ways with Petrishen , and Moses is hurt (curious if he lingers around here) that means....and what I thought all along and camp ws basiclly just a waste of time here but Gauthier is pencilled in as Biggies replaement, and I fine with that if Ford is at corner, as we start 8 canadians then and only declare 1 on defence and he can be rotated out freely for one of Gemmel or Ayers. And if that keeps Thoimas off the field I am all for that, and startiung anymore than 8 Canadians is pointless....Cole needs to be on the field 80 percent of the snaps, and not habving him out there at SAMis a diservice to the defence in general.
BA also I 100 percent will be starting day 1 from some discussions I have had, and again I am 100 percent good with that...especially if he has tossed away the brace...if he hasn't time for transition during the season
McGhee on PR is the right decision....shockingly....and the guys they kept I think will be possibly an ongoing audition till we get it right, but with Nichols..Holm..Ford....we solid, so we can groom a guy on the fly
I'm very interested tho with the DI's how they work it, and if the 5th reciever is gonna pull return duties and we use that extra DI on defense.....which would give us a heck of a depth on that side of the ball...we have the ability to do it, and have 2019 style 7 man front just eating teams up...And I think thats what Younger wants....balls in Osheas court to do it
 

🤢
If that’s our starting roster for game 1, then we deserve a loss. Imagine if ba isn’t able to go (doubt he will be ready) and we start 11 Canadians lmao 
We seldom pick up cuts and plug them in. But we do dive through the rummage bin like every other team. No one does it particularly well though imo. 
 
He wasn’t terrible by any means. But jumping up and chirping guys after 1 yard gains isn’t fifo it’s jones/dickenson 

Yeah we frequently look through other teams cuts 

They will only need 1 Canadian on the field at a given time on D.
I wouldn't read too much into where guys are on "depth" chart.  They'll probably have snaps with 1 Canadian out there and snaps with 3 or 4 depending on set for D.  They can run sets with only Ford out there for instance and American LB/DL group.

Just a couple of quick thoughts because with so many bodies and so few quality game reps it’s hard for me to be too invested:
Based on how our roster is constructed, and where we have invested heavily on NIs, cutting Rosery is somewhat baffling.  Can’t ask a guy to do much more than what he did and it’s not like Augustine has every really done anything of note.
How McGhee is still here is beyond me.  I joked in another thread, asking if he could potentially play himself off the roster and he did nothing to alleviate any concerns I might have.  We had nobody better / willing to stick around? Yikes.
i don’t get the Mitchell love (from the staff).  Feels like Greg McCrae with worse hands.

I might have kept both of them over 3 import OL on the PR....but I guess they are covering 3 OL spots there....one interior guy (Vanterpool played a ton of guard in both games), one guy to develop as LT (Coleman) and one guy to continue competing at RT (Randolph).  Not sure we needed to keep two import receivers either.  More pressing roster need will be if we get a Canadian or two dinged on O.
Hamilton ratio changed a lot with DL departures too.  I'd much rather have him than the other Bennett sneak back onto the roster.

There are quite possibly extenuating circumstances behind his Hamilton release. He took less money to stay in Hamilton because he wanted an opportunity to start, but he still got paid “starter” calibre money. Not Lawson dollars, but close to it. With that kind of price tag and a whole mess of Canadian defensive linemen, it looks like they decided to cut bait on the price tag just as much as anything.
 

Cutting Rosery after he did every thing we could ask of him makes no sense. It makes even less sense to have wasted soo many reps and snaps on a guy who if he did what we wanted we still wouldn’t keep around. They could’ve used mci in those snaps. 
 Hopefully it’s just some roster shuffle stuff and he’s brought back already for the pr. I wouldn’t have cut Murphy but I would’ve kept rosery over Murphy. 

Just cleaned up some unnecessary walls of text.

There's talk of him performing in that role.  He has no experience with it and didn't hit the field in preseason.
Guess we'll see what the plan is.
In any event cutting Rosery feels like a bad move to me given the overall makeup of our roster and commitment to using 6-7-8 Canadians regularly on O.  If we lose a Canadian OL to injury our roster will be in significant flux.  Sounds like Eli might be down for awhile and there's some durability concerns there so Wallace is likely our 6th OL Day 1.

The league changed from the 4 man reserve (game day scratches) a number of years ago.
Teams now can have 1 game day scratch but it doesnt seem like the Bombers have utilized it for the last couple of years. (They used to annouce the game day scratch 1 hour before kick off).
They just put players on the 1 game injured list.
Maybe @DTonOB can provide some insight as he would be given the finalized rosters each game. 

Certainly didn't look that way.
He was taking carries as a primary back behind 3rd string OL and running hard.  He's taken regular reps at 2 receivers spots throughout camp.
MCI did squat and showed up late.  If he's on the roster it's to cover kicks.  Hopefully he knows what he's doing in that regard.
The MCI hype is just hopeful at the moment.

And when I talk about Rosery I'm not saying they'd cut Augustine....just that Rosery appears to be a useful player and we need more of those especially Canadian ones.
Chris-Ike didn't get on the field much for pre-season so really interested to see what happens in real games.

This.

Booch seemingly not upset with the cuts + Mason Bennett hopefully on the way has me breathing a sigh of relief. I don't know enough to know enough but am intrigued to see week 1 depth chart ...

Even our online roster management is shaky lol

Hallett can’t play anywhere any more than Jake Thomas can. He can play S, or be a severe coverage liability. 
 
If Brady isn’t close to 100% our run game is screwed. 
 
we do have a decent bit of flexibility through out the D. Guys who can play inside or out on the line, multiple guys who can play nose, db who can mostly slide around. 
 IMO Cole’s best position would be S. 
I think vanterpool only played guard here. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a revolving door of imp ol on the pr for a while. 

Interesting cut down...will offer my perspective in a bit...just at the gym working the steel out with the devil...some you may be shocked with my take haha...I expect Mason here within the week...

When you start 43 Canadians, you don’t need Canadian backups.
