Booch

that I agree on...and from experience...a lot of times doing that leads to guys getting hurt..or knicked in that first game...

I was talking on offense mainly...as we were discussing the QB situation..and them not being on the filed much at all in pre-season is somewhat questionable as well...not sure why they held them off

doesn't look like it...we have 21 Canadians on the depth chart...and with deletion of Foketti and Bryant that leaves us our 20 imports...

he's good....not that good...

That last game against CGY was all your starters...or were to be the starters...so not sure how you say playing with your back-ups On the flip side all our back-ups...and pretty much 80 percent of the guys who were cut or PR'd were beating the BC starters into the 3rd quarter...so yeah...feel pretty good actually

if you go by pre-season results...yeah...they appear to be

we have 3 QB's just like everyone else...plain and simple...and all 3 of ours looked better i pre-season than your 3. And if you use the excuse it's just pre-season and thats why our rookies looked good then you should be really worried when your "2 starting calibre guys" looked like for a lack of a better word....crap

That's what I think it looks like. That defense of EDM doesn't look impressive at all...even with a Rookie at QB i can see several areas we can exploit...Hoover at DB should get eaten up by our wideouts and I can see Harris/Augustine/Demski really casuing trouble in the middle/flats....much like Harris did last year If we can keep Reilly unsettled...I actually see a pretty easy win here

Couldn't have described it any better myself. we also have the best kicker in league...and the riders now are going with a basically unproven rookie...certainly to cost a game or two when the pressure is on The most bizzarre thing there is they have no depth at all behind any o-lineman..Canadian or American and are looking to start 2 unproven new Americans for whatever reason and truthfully sounds like a cap hell reason...so they had to jettison their best "proven" American....If you are buying Chris Jones's B.S about Bond being not better than who replaced him so doesn't justify keeping him then you are just plain stupid. All the greeinie fans there were raving about him..saying how he was clearly the best...couldn't stop using the term "roadgrader" but all of sudden he was sub par...what a joke If they suffer any injury to any Canadian they are in a world of trouble...not to mention multiple ones...They are so weak on the defensive and offensive lines with Canadians that it's almost comical...

Yeah I don't see a lot of holes in that lineup...Fogg as a punt and kick returner...does that mean no Lankford...and if so...why even have him on the 46?

well....Sask media....nuff said

I actually like Sanchez on the panel..

I think his ranking is a bit high regardless of what or where he plays...he is way overhyped for what he provides...and the threats of problems he can...and has caused

so technically he is our tenth as this was based on previous play...hahaha

How it works is you declare before the game that you will use X amount of National starters on offense...and X amount of National starters on defense, and this has to be maintained throughout the game. You don't have to declare "who" they are...you just need to maintain the number you declared. So if the offense is sucking you would have to remove an import o-lineman with your Canadian back-up to get in an extra import receiver And as said above...a DI can come in only for another American...unless you are staring more than the required Nationals...then he can come for whomever

the o-line will get it done...no issues there...same unit as last 2 years now basically save for Bond and the loss of him isn't going to be hardly noticeable..Christ if he got cut from the sad sack O-line that is Sask then he must have really regressed...nobody on their current o-line could displace anyone on ours..I'd go as far to say that our back-ups (Fokketti/Couture/Spooner) are all guys who could slot in and start there and make that team better....man sure is nice to be where we are with O-line depth and talent then it is there eh?

James Wilder

nobody is willing to negotiate the way Jones tries...thats the bigger issue there...plus he has no idea how to manage a SMS system...and it has shown the last few years...keep believing it is a "didn't fit the system" thang...whereas it's more of a "oh crap we in SMS trouble and gotta shave $$" He rob's Peter to pay Paul...now are in a very serious depth and Canadian talent predicament..and sadly it can't be fixed this year ...well because he has his assets all piled up in a couple spots and can't address the glaring issues....He is a horrible G.M and evaluator of talent and how to build a team. His sucess before as a H.C was mainly due to him having things all set up for him and he just reaped the rewards from it...plain and sim[ple

And going against an experienced Argo dline..should be fun to watch..

Interesting that Leggett is on field at practice with helmet on....possibly he was just held back for 3 extra weeks of rest for safe measure and allow us to see the other candidates more thoroughly? We know what he can do on the field and he knows the defense...not like he needed reps to get acclimated. If he is good to go at his Sam position game one...this defense just got even better...Moe..Randle..Loffler..Fenner..most likely Gaitor and Alexander and Fogg in some capacity looks pretty good to me with Bighill and JSK roaming around with them

sign him just for the fact that Sask can't and let them flounder around looking to find National depth

hahahah.....thanks...I think

Actually if Hardrick and Foketti can't go..and we have to dress 4 national O-lineman to start the game we conceivably don't have to start 2 national receivers and one of Tompkins/Flanders wouldn't have to even be a DI. I truly hope we 46 Lankford to start the season and see what Demski/Augustine/Fogg do on kick-offs and utilize Tompkins or Washington (if ready to go) as the 4th American receiver. They offer you way more than Lankford as a receiver, and really...not having Lankford on roster as a return guy isn't going to be the reason we lose a game...but a big bodied stud receiver could be a reason you win a game

Medlock could play for at least 3-5 more years if he so chooses too..

I wouldn't be concerned with Opo as a health risk...Last yr was an abberation and could be the result of not really playing a full season of ball since 2015. His 2 years in the league prior to being here he played all 18 games in a season
