yup...lean in depth and shallow in real game breakers....Who knows Demski's status as well and if he is actually 100 percent...or lasts Imagine if one of Pokey/Demski/White goes down...means we running every play with Corcorran and Cobb as 2 of our receivers....If 2 go down....yikes Why not dress that canadian receiver we felt the need to grab after other teams cuts and have him rostered for one of Stuart or Clark? Or as mentioned dont go Import at center...dress an import receiver and replace one of Stuart or Clark with Vibert

what I really like about our depth chart on the dline...we will not have any sets with a dead weight guy on the field...and some case we had 2 together No Korn..No Thomas....so if we get owned it's more a case we got outplayed and outschemed and easily fixeable...as opposed to out classed like previous yr...2 👍's up in my books we all expected it tho...and all know it wasnt a "need" to do thing either....dumb decision but at least for 1st depth chart of yr we only have one head scratcher and wasted spot....I guess that can be considered a win for now

y0u would think we would have learned that by now eh? The art of maximizing the roster as opposed to just soothing a personal bias That being said we could have replaced Elsbury with Singer....Added Vibert for Corcorran and been just fine too Cobb as the back-end depth guy if we had 3 imports...And then MCI and Daniels on roster until Clercius gets back is workable...he does serve multiple purposes...not elite world beater at any of them..but good enough he wont hurt/hamper you...aka perfect for back end multi role Canadian depth

AND he did utilize that big global Robinson as a true TE in Hamilton...and included him in passing game...5 TD's over 2 yrs there

yeah possible too....and I think he'd excell at WIL....Interesting that the depth chart has Jones at Wil and Wilson at MIKE

Pleasantly surprised...especially on defensive side of the ball....lotsa versatile and interchangeable guys, and an actual defensive line that should be active and aggressive That outside WR spot tho....just a wasted poor allocation of guys and really....not even needed to make ratio...But I guess if 1 dumb decision is the norm as opposed to multiple then I guess thats some progress from previous yrs I hope/assume Eli isnt 100 percent and the reason to 3 import it, cause its a bit of a dub move too when that import spot coulda been used on Singer or another guy like Fletcher on defence I guess in a way extended TC for Elsbury to see if he has the chops against actual CFL players

but you still want a guy who can do something with those snaps, and or take the attention of a db and not be ignored essentially....opens up things elsewhere yeah hard to say...Before Clercius got hurt we have a lot of diff options/looks we could give with him and MCI...still not sold on Danials yet unless they have some stuff they kept hidden hey are gonna unleash. As I saw nothing to lead one to believe he gonna be basically doing what Eli did....and if that the case let Eli do it as he is better at it in the blocking aspect

Lord help us no.....Lord help ZC if that the case

i agree....it was a gut punch for sure from a quality vet like that yeah...we need to let him play his natural spots...we dont need him at SAM...Griffin..Woodbey..Smith and kramdi have that more than covered Yup...WIL or MLB....he isnt fluid and greasy hipped enough for SAM....he is built thon to work nicely in the box...say....In Jones role 😁

yes...go with retro Harris lol

BO

I could see that....and If Maier retains job outside of all that...I could see a deadline day deal for Dru regardless...especially if ZC isn't showing any renaissance

yup....subbed...that play shpuld be outlawed too yeah...we need to try guys in rotation and if anything just see...serviceable is fine if your lights out in other areas....we don't know yet who/where we may be lights out other than halfback...Likely Ceresna and cause of that hopefully WJ...And Griffin and Kramdi ....lotta unknowns currently Yup...is a arsebag...and a known criminal in the pile, and elsewhere.....Lanier too...2 guys I would never want on our roster...Hard pass and would offer us nothing really And if Clercius cant go...no way in hell we should be starting 3 canadian receivers then...we shouldt even if he was 100percent....Those 3 are perfect depth/rotation while starting 2....outside of that...we would be a hampered offence

yeah...Anyone you wanna keep ...or not risk losing I'd 1 game..all yr if need be

yeah true...there was lotsa suck that game tho too that had a big impact in outcome...and most that suckage is still here too....lol But his season as a whole had nothing wrong with it was all I saying...If we were to cut guys who chockd a play or 2 in playoffs ZC would been gone 3 yrs ago now

exactly....we draft and accumulate talent and go against the grain with how we dont use them

there was nothing wrong with Kyries play last yr...none at all Watch Jone's drops in coverage...rarely right spot...and always to slow to react...I said he be a good situational guy but he shouldn't be a player we settle with And why couldn't woodbey play in the middle?...And asking legitimately and want your take as to why....not to be a ****. I see no reason as to why he couldnt and a lot of reasons why he would excel

Jones got released for a rookie...thats how we got him...so that blows your theory right outta the water....they kept the unproven upside rookie over the vet, and he got R.O.Y And yes coaches have input and say in final roster anyone can agree on that, but in the end of the day the HC picks who he feels is right and the Coordinators deal with it...and if they dont like it...tough titties...thats how it goes and how it always will go. whether you wanna believe it or not, Its the HC ass on the line in the end and he is gonna fail and be canned on his own accord....as would anyone in charge of anything Woodbey, and or Ayers can play MLB....Same body type as Jones basically and way more athletic and can actually work well in coverage...Kyrie could too. You say nobody stepped up...what did you see Jones do?...Do explain the reason behind your opinion. Did you take in all the practices to base this on? Go to both games and watch something other than a scoreboard feed? How many snaps did Jones play to beat anyone out....did you count? And shows how much you were watching as Clinton for example made more than 1 play...but whateves....Guess its dumb to turn over parts of roster when an opportunity is there with younger upside guys and pooching an older vet who has plateaud or is on the downswing Keeping a new LB and dumping a Jones or Wilson basically allows the proven guys we already have who been here now 2..3 yrs to step in and a younger guy fills that role they were doing for 1 to 2 yrs...basically effective roster turnover in phases as opposed to having to deal with a team full of old assed broken down guys...we seen how that worked 3 yrs running now...and its at a downward tilt

was it said what Vaval's injury is...he seems fine moving about...no brace/cast/...or bandaide lol we start 3 oline guys...BO...2 receivers and we only need 1 Canadian on defense any given snap which would be the way to go. And if you Nationalized WJ or Ceresna then you could get away from having any true Canadians on the filed for a snap technically We dont need to have mote than 1 listed on defence, if we have 6 on offense which we easily can without going 3 National receivers

yup Same with what we may do at center...Does an import center which would take away from a import from defense as well as make us start 3 Canadian receivers when he isn't really any better than a Canadian center make us a better team than starting a Canadian center, allowing for 3 import receivers, and having that extra American on defense, like you say at DT and allowing us to replace Lawson on reps with a stud DT as Smith and Kramdi make the Canadian quota on defence. And really if we go 3 Canadian Oline, BO...2 receivers and have the Nationalized American on defence we could take out a Canadian on any play and freely bring in an American whenever we wanted....so which option makes us a better overall team? It's amazing how one dumb move could affect the totality of the roster and make you weaker

yeah thats my take too as the games are not choosable anymore

Yup....context is key with his stats...He is good depth...but we can do better for sure if we being real with ourselves...we could cut either..or ...or even both....or DA one and start one of Woodbey/SMith/ayers in those spots and not see any drop off...prob see increase in impact plays...not tackles after yards were gained or in chase mode Prime Bighills come once in a while...But also run of Mill Jone's come often...and settling for that when you can do better....we have better...is just spinning wheels and delaying roster transition another yr. We do that a lot. People forget Jones came to us from the scrap heap cause Edm had the wherewithal to see a rookie was better and had oodles of upside....and he ended up as ROY....Not like he was a guy teams were all chasing. We ride giys right into a bloody knub and have zero behind them...or rarely allow a guy to get reps/experience and then we scuffle trying to find a replacement...its a cycle with this group that happens too much....Clinging worked in 2019 thru 2022....but that was an anomoly of having a real good group in prime...and top guys at their position in the league, and we don't have that now...for a while yet we seem to think we do and havn't deviated from that mindset unless forced to, either by player defection or career/season ending injury How long has it been since we addressed the dline issues once we had no more Nevis...Stove..Jeffcoat..Kongbo?...we were more than happy to run out inferior guys cause they were either A) here already B) a old in tooth vet or C) some coaches fatuation what did you see him do to win it tho? and did he even play?...MIKE has changed I agree and Jones skillset, and holes in his game doesnt suit the new MIKE Being givin the job doesnt always translate into earning/winning it yeah he is horrid...and doesnt fit the real requirements of the spot now. The 3 spots were set in stone before the first player even stepped on field in TC They finally got it right with Griffin at SAM but if we wanted our best, and group most likely to get really lethal as season went on we would run combo's of Woodbey/Smith/Ayers along with Griffin and situationaly use one of Wilson or Jones I still willing to be open minded and not pessimistic about roster yet, as we havnt seen anything to indicate whats what in practice yet, and there gonna be guys moving on and off...and onto the IR But the first depth chart is gonna be a good indicator again of what we are....same ol same ol handcuffing ourselves and quationable guys just standing around game in and game out with nobody getting any development reps....or we are gonna field our best all around athletes and versatile players and kick some butt...guess it is TBD i think the discussion is that we arent playing the best option...or giving thebest options the bulk of reps...I've said Jones could be a good depth/situational guy as a DA....As would Wilson...but both blocking the younger playmakers, is redundant and serves zero purpose....6game or 1 game one of em and allow them full pay and there is your insurance if a younger guy huts the wall...or gets hurt...simple roster logic really to get your best players playing and growing...

i got error too
