I'm not sure what to think of the Ticats this year. This should, in theory, be our toughest test so far. Going east, facing a good team on the road, and so on and so on.

Really hoping to get Matthews or Bighill or both back, but don't want them rushed.

There's our Depth Chart. Just what I thought... Matthews in, Warren out. 

Edited July 25, 20196 yr by M.O.A.B.

Matthews is the game day scratch likely...?

and there's the ticats' depth chart

big difference with our's and ticat's depth chart... we carry more LBs, they carry more DL.

Bighill definitely playing - no DI linebacker...

Must be Matthews and Hallet as the scratches

Not Hallet. Teams need 21 Canadians in the lineup.. and only 1 guy will be a scratch (1-man reserve)

It will be between Matthews and Walker. Most likely it's Matthews.

Miles is available so they could just roll with the LBs from last week

Warren is now off the lineup. Bighill is definitely playing tomorrow.

Probably

I wouldn't be upset if they scratched Walker and let Whitehead and Demski handle the returns. Peterman could probably return punts too. Get Matthews into some offensive plays, work him back into the lineup. 

Yeah, Bighill starting and Matthews scratched really seems like the situation...

Same here. I would like to see Matthews back. We don't know if he practiced with the 1's yesterday. It's a guessing game for us and the TI-cats D (they need to consider every possible scenario). 

I would probably prefer Walker be scratched as well.  Humes could be an option too.  We've had games without a DI DB before.  We also have Wright in the lineup which is a change from weeks past.

as much as I love the potential of Chris Matthews, I really think they're doing the right thing now. The speed Walker brings is too important. 

Also, here's Ham's chart...

Yeah could see us slotting in Matthews in Humes spot...Wright has and can play in the backfield if need be and come in as the extra db...and as mentioned..we have played games with no DB as one of th DI's this year

22 Canadians on this roster...  I thought we still scratched two guys - this is a change because of the Global?

Not enough DIs to dress Matthews anyway...

Did not even see that......that's what I get for ignoring you most of the time. Crazy...

11 on O : Speller, Couture, Gray, Desjarlais, Demski, Woli, Peterman, Harris, Augustine, Miller, Rush 
9 on D : Thomas, Miles, Lalama, Gauthier, Wright, Hecht, Jones, Hallet, Exume
1 on ST: Rempel 
= 21 Canadians. 

I corrected myself in my previous post, we need 21 Canadians. 20 Americans. 1 Global, max of 3 QBs (some teams only carry 2) and 1-man reserve.

Yeah there are 46 players on the roster and 45 are active now because of the global player.  Used to be 44.

Ugh ha - counted Hansen...  I need more coffee.

Do like the idea of sitting Hume though - doubt it happens

I blame the Globalists.
