add to it the big replacement..Johnson doesn't have the supporting cast that he had in CGY...so he certainly will have lesser numbers...and who knows what Hughes has left...he burns out by mid season last 2 years and being a year older..can't see that trend reversing Jefferson allowed that defense to do a lot of different things, and truthfully Eguavoen was probably their best all around defender too..so AC Leonard and whoever replaces Eguavoen is a major downgrade from last year...

Strevler

Yeah shocked on that one actually..

That's why I'd bring in Johnson. Or MTl draft pick Osie Kusi that they cut..big target.. fast..hands need work but would be a nice addition to groom non the less

As well as bennet and Bridge to be honest..if collaros goes down..which he will they are screwed

Seeing as bc dumped shaq Johnson.. a national receiver I'd be all over that

I doubt an over 31 Johnson is gonna put up the same type numbers without the supporting cast like he had in CGY...that supporting cast in SSK is gonna leave him doing all the heavy lifting there..plus looking at your offence the defense gonna ge on field...a lot..and wear down..Hughes will dissapear sooner than he has the last 2 yrs

I hope tho that the release of Bryant and Mcalister doeant indicate we are starting a national at DT..though with Jake only national on active roster it would seen Richardson won out the spot with Jake as rotation which I fine with. Richardson was a true beast and lined up with Nevis who is unsung hero we will get some major push for our ends to clean up and have Biggie come clean on blitz.. I wouldn't be surprised to see double digit or close to it sack totals for him I do like how we allocated our or PR too..and glad it looks to be Baikey as the 5th I bet and Lucky rotating in as a DI Bailey wasnt targeted much in preseason but staff knows what they have there..just watch that once the real bullits start flying with the starting offence he's gonna shine

gaga over a 33 year old thigpen...soon to be 32 yr old Powell and a yet unknown as to who rookie import as a backup...yup..best in league by far lol like over half their projected starters are 31 and above..thats an old arsed team who will be pouncing on table scrap cuts trying to get depth..or younger i dont think i even heard Hughes or AC Leonards name called all game....not a good sign either

No shocks there other than Boynton...for a 22 yr old I thought he showed well

isnt Streveler listed at #3 at $8692? thats what my roster selections show me

Riders ran a lot last year..second only to us, and wasn't an issue as to why offence sucked...it was QB'ing and Coordinating...and having to work fast behind a weak o-line...So swapping in Powell for Mason/Marshall/Thigpen and having same QB..O.C and arguably a weaker receiving corp and O-line...can't see that offence lighting things up

even the starting lineup was lean with guys with any experience...a Reilly...BLM...even Harris and Nichols would have carved that up working with their projected offensive starters..wins and losses mean jack in the pre-season but losing at home...with most your starters against bubble guys and never were gonna make it guys...has to be troublesome. I know if that was reversed and we lost a similar game..I'd be very bothered and not too optimistic

Best scenario is to keep it as status quo...and put McGuire on the PR as we normally have a QB there so that would be the obvious choice..Bennet offers more at this point not just as a QB and is also more familiar with the league..teams..and offence

Bryant and Fenner were only guys who will have starter reps and had any signficant playing time before...so the optimism there should be tempered...but false sense of security is a good thing hahaha

EXACTLY...Plus people over look the fact the right read was made and the ball went to the right "open" guy...no wind those are both caught

find it interesting that the Sask media thinks their offence will be fine and that Collaros looks like the real deal after that performance, against a group of guys who largely will be cuts and PR guys..that false sense of calm and happiness will turn into dire reality in Hamilton...I don't see it and when that Ol-ine couldnt keep our D-line at bay from pressure with all our subs...imagine when the starters are in there with Biggie

The Panzer ....lol

Nichols will be fine...has regained mobility so isn't a stationary duck and that wind last night was tough to gauge....once settled in with his o-line..his regular skill guys, and the whole playbook...I'm not too concerned

mentioned many times..has best arm..throws tightest spiral...just doesn't get the reps

Well we usually pr a QB so most likely lands there

Well not a good sign for riders not being able to beat our cuts..riderfans gonna lose their minds lol

I said way back..Walker was my dark horse.. smooth..fast in open field..nice hands...Denmarkesque

Cant see Augustine not making roster..seems like he always gains good yards..plays teams

Yeah those stats against nobodies ain't that impressive
