Yahoo we won .... we had multiple individual victories ... now the rookies have a week to unseat the incumbents:

I count 12 major battles for a starter spot (there are even more for backup spots)

DE: Roh

DT: Bryant

FB: Augustine

3rd QB: Bennett

RG: Spooner

P: Menard Briere

SB: Petermann

WR: Wolitarsky

DI: Lankford

DI/R: White

DI: Washington

DB: Gaitor

DB: Seisay

WILL: Wilson

We are not taking 70 players on the flight .... just the battlers ... MOS won't know who until he sees the film ... the O-line also needs to develop some cohesion and harmony ... Nichols may want a little tuneup time to get ready for the opener ... there is much to be settled next Friday

 

Personally, I hope Streveler starts. I'd like to see how he fares against BC's 1's and 2's.

I bet the do the rotation they did last game after Nichols left game. Two series then the next guy comes in does two and so forth.

I agree... but he might be tough to evaluate with our B-team O-line...

I don't mind taking that lineup. I do fear the over reaction if both Ross and Streveler look like garbage.

Not to mention Bennett who may surprise us all.

With only two evaluation games, Streveler has to be considered the incumbent, but we will see if anyone else is brought in.

Hopefully the Lions start the artist formerly known as AJ Jefferson at cornerback all season.

I have always complained, we have never had a template to figure out if backup QB's can play.  Won't be a problem, to start this season, anyways........

Would rather have our main OL starting his one - need to see what the QBs can do...

briggs at SAM and walker at WIL.. would have flipped those

 A third pre season game and TC inter team scrimmages would be nice. You dont really know if a back up can play till hes been the starter for two years though.

My best budz was Goodtime Charlie....great guy but always had the blues

can we really evaluate our QBs if we put this lineup out against BC's starters?

No, we can't.  The coaches however, can because that's part of what they do for a living.

exactly, fans won't be able to really. Unless of course they just completely light it up. Mistakes fans perceive to be the fault of the QB might end being a RB or WR or OL issue that the film shows.

Which is why I'm going to do my best to not come on here saturday morning. 

If the QB's can still do some good things behind the o-line they field tomorrow then that would give me some hope.  We should get to see their scrambling abilities, and their abilities to throw while running scared lol........ seriously if they do enough good things then I would hope they can do more behind the #1 starters on the o-line.....plus having all the #1 starters should help whichever QB starts next week even more...

We need to play our interim 'starter' against BC's starters now to get a handle on what they will look like when it counts. Fair to them? Yup. They'll want to play against the starters if they're any good to us.

The depth chart is just wrong.  They started doing this last year.  Randle and Heath were always on the field side on the depth chart but obviously played boundary.  Looks like they have mixed up the LBs now.  I don't know why it is so difficult for them to put out an accurate chart.

Pretty surprising that Ekakitie is not on this depth chart...  would think he needs another look

Maybe they've seen enough...

The CFL should really consider going down to one pre-season game or getting rid of the games altogether.  They are trending more and more toward glorified scrimmages.  Clearly teams place zero value on the games for prepping their actual team.

I count 55 names .... that is a number close to a game day roster
