The first Preseason game is May 31 .... the regular season starts June 14 ... everything will start to move very quickly now .... I am not used to the CFL in May  but you know what? I am very glad for it

Thank you Mr Ambroise but please be advised I still want a November Grey Cup ... mid November is Ok but no sooner

Stanley Cup and Grey Cup in the same year ... it would probably kill me !

Linebacker, IMO, is the place we don't need to use a DI.

I don’t see a healthy Wild or JSK being sat though. My guess is that Oko will end up being a cap causality and we’ll use Corney instead of an import there.

Our best defensive games last season were with 7 DL.  Struggled huge against the run with 6 dressed.  We have lots of NI DB’s and LB’s who can fill in.  If we had one DI to use on D I’d use it on a DL.

How many of those 6 dl games where when we were refusing to use our best line up and forcing thomas in, not starting jeffcoat etc though. 

We struggled against the run vs every team that wanted to run, for idk 3 years? Any time a team has decided to focus on the run theyve had their way with our D for far too long. The hurl effect.

May be right, but we all know mos loves to roll with a crazy amount of Lbers. 

I think we will see a lot less rotation of the front 7 this year, and smaller numbers of players at both positions. 

Hey who is competing for your back up QB position?  Any word on progress?

Alex Ross and Chris Streveler (rookie).  Sounds like it is pretty tight but Streveler won the day today.

My surprise cuts..   

 

Opo - 2 much cash for a backup. 

Nevis - Bryant looks legit

Wild - joins the team in a coaching role

Hope we try to trade Nevis.

Okpalaugo might be a challenge since he got a big contract.

When's the last time an import DT got traded?  Just wondering...

My surprise cut is Weston Dressler.

Never, he's one of the untouchables.  When his time comes, he will be given the off-season to announce his retirement on his own terms. 

It must be preseason. Everyone is already cutting vets to keep the shiny new toys. Love this time of year.

There will be injuries just don't see anyone too big named cut.

shawn lemon maybe? Joe flemming for sure...  I would suspect a lack of DL trades stem from teams hoarding linemen.

 We gotta show him we aren’t the rough riders organization.

Plus, he’s still a good player.  When he’s healthy he is still a 1000 yards per 18 guys and a great leader.  Hopefully he doesn’t have to take as many hits this year with Bowman and Demski on the team.

would be nice if we stopped running him on those sweep plays. We have the depth at wr we should be able to help him stay healthy especially late in the season.

So we’re going to rotate receivers? We’re not going to sit Adams/Dressler/Bowman to get a rookie receiver in the game. 

Flanders will play. The Harris/Flanders backfield package was one of our most dangerous weapons last year. I don’t see them giving that up. Not to mention Flanders has proved he’s an adequate starting receiver. 

Randle, and Thompkins were legitimate NFL starters.

Well that's why it would be a surprise...

Any Adam Bighill sightings yet?... I have yet to hear if he has arrived in town or suited up at TC...

Big-arm Bry, that's what they call him

I thought this might be a good idea. The coaches obviously liked him, and he just went where he thought he had a good chance of playing. Had a horrible time in SSK but hopefully can learn from that and produce in a new system. I like that he's being brought back however this can't reflect too well on Ross or Streveler.

Why?  Maybe they're planning on dumping Mahoney.  It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how Ross and Streveler are performing.

Or they're just exploring every option they can and making sure they have the best possible team on the field every week. 

The day you stop trying to get better is the day you instantly get worse.

So, if they bring in someone, the only explanation can be that they're not happy with the ones they already have?

Not the only explanation, just one of the most likely possibilities.
