Booch

we didnt declare 2 on defence last yr....when we started 8...and if they tried that again this yr, hopefully we have the bodies that we can freely sub an import wherever...

exactly...never happening....But ....If BO isnt good to go to start the season I hope they go with Chris Smith as the RB and not Auggie.....and then yeah declare 2 National on defence...Lawson and Ford being the actual starters...

he should be immediately turfed by TSN for that comment....wow is all I can say...way to show zero support for woman and work place harrasment....idiot

Let alone start him...what SAM in the league would any other team in the CFL sat for him?? Fox...Randel if healthy and rostered...Davis if rostered would give better use in a heavy set with Lawson that Thomas And generally we got roasted and gutted with that....the bolded part

we will have Neuf...Dobson...Eli...Kolo dressed for 3 spots...so one goes down..the other steps in...same with most every other team..all in same bnoat..we dressed 7 last yr which I hope we dont this yr...and if they choose to keep throwing Fatboi out there..well thats your 7th We are set up just fine to declare 6 on offence...and have adequate coverage...and again....adequate guys to be a Nationlized Canadian in case of injury..which many here seem to forget about since our coach is to hard headed to use it We are not set up currently to declare 2 national starters on defence without a major drop off in talent to cover injury, as well as what e like to do scheme wise...unless...we utilize that aformentioned rule...which we all know we wont..

in what world...or what reason would at this point...want Thomas and Lawson both out there?....not being a prick...just curious?

we will have Augustine...drafted kid....Clericus, filling in who will be fine...also will have a DI returner who will have offensive chops this year...be it Cruickshank or I hope Smith...plus we rolled tht way for ;last 4 yrs..5 yrs?...with lesser talent and hey..there is a Nationized American rule....use the effing thing and dont be a stubborn ol bugger...only reason we arent using it cause Osh don't like it.....so really we don't have to play 2 Canadians on the field on defence...we as it stands barely have the depth right bnow to field one with a quality backup ouch

Agreed....Lawson is starter and impact quality....but who backs him up if he goes down?...Thomas?...pffft...no...if he is on the roster it's only to give Lawson a piss break and a drink of gatorade...and until we see if Samson is legit and capable...we have nothing behind him...Korneslson and Schmeckle wont amount to anything other than bottom teir roster guys at best and thats not good enough...I doubt either would make a roster elsewhere... If we declare 1 National as one of our Canadian starters on defence, then we can use 1 guy for snaps at either DT...SAM as a rotation piece (Ford/Kramdi) or have Kelly or Ford spell of BA to meet the ratio on any given play....and hey...maybe use the Nationalized American for reps 29 times too...wow theres a thought...We have BA..Biggie...Wilson...WJ...Nichols...many guys to throw that tag on....playing an extra Canadian is good sense/use if you have the horses to do it...and the back-ups...we dont and doing it because the Coach is a proud Canadian and is giving rewards for the position and really no other reason, at the expense of better talent, and an all around better defence is plain dumb...

versatile backup/rotation piece....good on teams...definately valuable to roster.... that being said no way he should be starting here tho....

6 on Offence...only 1 required for defence....and hopefully we go that route

cant see that happening....as we would be weak as hell....I would assume Lawson will be the main guy...or better be.....that posting of Thomas yesterday with the assumed for now #1's is enough to make a fan vomit...and hints of the same ol same ol Depending where we decide to use the Canadian on defence, and I hope we only declare 1 spot...we may not evebn have to have a National actually starting on the dline....but a solid rotation of Lawson in the middle would be a very good interior

No way Cole should be beat out there if it's based on skill...talent...upside..body type...so hopefully it's reversed by season opener...things like that...playing inferior guys ahead of more talented guys is too common here...

I would say SAM

Good due diligence before signing him..clown show just continues there And as for the injury...well deserved justice done legally for the cheap head shot he took earlier in the game on Woli...u know 100 percent it was on Sheeds mind and when he saw a chance to bury him ...he did

Exactly from that...

Yeah I feel for Sheed going there...I sure he be a good influence but man I bet he not gonna be a happy sheed

nope....With Clericus here now.....doing stuff Sheed did...I can see KJ Hill as the front runner now.....as they have cut Thompson.....and he can return as well which bodes well as a back up if we DI a dedicated returner/part time offensive snaps guy which we likely do

yup...good sign, and maybe we are shifting away from the loyalty/reward mind set, and theb"he practices hard" thing...if a guy isnt he shouldnt be here anyway...I could go into camp and practice hard...say the right things....take reps all over the field helping out other positions.....and if they rostered me and I took up a spot I would be disgusted and imagine the laugher on here! lol

and skill....drafting a guy who is 26 that was good...but not dominant vs 18..19...and 20 yr olds is a stupid stupid draft pick...plain and simpole...and this outcome was obvious

Rider's cut Edwards Cooper as well...thought he was a big signing??....and assume he got a signing bonus?....savvy SMS move there Oday u dolt!

Not a shock to me....and I even said way back that he shouldnt even be in camp taking reps from someone else....piss poor draft pick...lesson learned I cant see any of Scmeckle...Kornelson on the roster....even on depth chart...Ideally I'd like to see Lawson and Samson on roster as the cnadian DT depth if we chose to roster 2, and Fatboi on the 6 game or PR...those other 2 will amount to diddly, neither will surpass Lawson or Samson and are just dead weight Gut tells me we may go....and should go import heavy on the dline surrounding Lawson and if Ford....or god help us Kramdi are starting at SAM or Ford atcorner for 8 canadians we see a lot of all import fronts...

player refusing was more so to not lose face with teamates...which isn't right by any means but I getit...as I know they have likely all talked and know things to be true....and doesn't want to blackball himself....tho I would think in most rooms in the league, players would hold no bias against him based on what was done....That being said...If supeoned for court....he will have to come forward...or risk purgery, as he won't know who else may be witness to it.....none the less...he should be kicked from league...text messages alone....proving it...and witness testimoney supporting it....and fact he lied about it right outta the gate should be enough

He's definately north of 340...and has gotten bigger the last few yrs in succesion, and his play and durability has shown from it Last yr when I was next to him....he dwarfed me in mass....I'm 245 pounds...and not a fat 245....at just over 6 feet tall....no way in hell he is only 80 pounds more than me...not buying that one bit when he half a foot taller to boot

yeah....some of the higer paid guys is almost laughable for sure.....We getting damn good value for Big Stan and Neuf....and with a rookie deal for a new Tackle most likely..Eli not in top 15 and Dobson still on entry deal...we doing good for likely again the best line in the league....But the Rider money paid for crap is funny...And you would assume Blake is in top 20....and last yr they paid Johnson over 100k as well
