that's like the healthiest roster i can remember in recent memory where there is 0 starters missing from the line up

 

**edit: except maybe B. Johnson out for The Roc

Edited June 30, 20178 yr by Taynted_Fayth

Bruce Johnson is missing ... but whatever. I think Carmichael may take his job in the end anyways.

Looks like either Flanders or Lankford gets the final DI spot. I'm hoping Flanders but I know it's going to be Lankford.

7 Oline on gameday roster cant remember last time they did that.

I have some faith in Carmichael but two rookies on the field side does have me a little worried...

I guess they saw Jake Thomas filling in on the OL one too many times and have decided to not let that happen again.

Walker, Richards and Jeffcoat on the 1-game IR, Gauthier and Bruce Johnson on the 6-game.

At the same time our DL is looking a little thin.  Ekakitie didn't look all that good and we don't have a DI there.  Corney and Thomas need to play big roles.

Would you feel better with Frederick and Carmichael? I had the same thought but Alexander was much better than Frederick in pre-season and just happens to be a rookie.  So you can look at it that way...

I think we have to dress 7 OL just to get the minimum number of Canadians on the roster.

I'm just a worrier I guess.  That's why my friends call me Whiskers.

Pretty much. I'm not sure how we managed to do this.

I didn't really like the idea of dressing the 7th OL, but then I thought he'd be just as productive as Richards, if he was on the roster... 

Neufeld has played some TE during preseason game I believe

I hope The Roc and Alexander emerge as ROY candidates.

I'll admit I haven't  paid much attention to Poop Johnson, but from the praise of both fans and MOS, I hope he and Nevis destroy that Rider interior.  If Westerman can eat up most of Dennis and Labbatte's attention,  Johnson/Nevis/Okpalaugo vs Clark/Dyakowski/Coleman is a dream match up

Thought Jeffcoat might get some time because he looked so good in preseason, but I trust management. Frig am I stoked for tomorrow! 

I sure do hope its Flanders will be the DI instead of Lankford. Man weneed to exploit the middle if Muamba cant go.

We're just starting 7 Oline to show off to the Riders.

I want Corney to make a big jump this year.

Feel real good for Rush making the opening game roster. He is going to develop into one of those special teams beasts.

Riders depth chart is up, although I can't get on the twitters here to post it

 

Needless to say, it looks gross. Muamba isn't playing and they've only got 6 starting Canadians listed.

We should dress Flanders and run the ball 30 times between him and Harris. Their linebackers and 3/4 of their dl don't look very good.

Holy cow. Muamba is out and there is still 5 guys listed as MLB. The safe house must be full of linebackers.

Eguavoen has looked decent when healthy but he hasn't been healthy much.
