Could very well be, say there is 20 non counters that still leaves us at 90. We gotta be at 75 for camp so a good 15 guys are getting a plane ticket home after rookie camp.

More like getting a road map and an apple...lol...

Yea....and if he does make the team the media is going to make this a distraction imo. He would probably set a world record for tweets, questions, and analysis about a fringe STer. God forbid he gets a start or is promoted/demoted. It would be a media frenzy.

Shoot once we cut the punters/kickers not named legs or Castillo we are half way there!

I am not in love with it - but it is ok.

there's just no need for it.... and I still don't like the alternate kits they introduced last year. They're not HORRIBLE, but the ones we have are just so perfect, anything else is going to be a step down.

I dunno, the alternates were a mixed bag... the whole uni, sucked- but those jerseys... they are pretty nice.

Go with the helm, jersey and gold and white pants with blue trim and you got a ******* winner.

I liked the uni as a whole, but dislike the jersey by itself. Lol.

NOTHING is better than what we currently wear as our full time home and away's........ the alternate kit is just tolerable. And the jerseys, in particular, are nothing special. 

I like the big assed "W" on the front. Don't really care is that is the normal hockey jersey layout.

Agreed, our home uniforms are the absolute best. You will hear no argument from on that.

The jersey was by far the worst part of the uniform.

The rest was just ok.

100% this.

We need to go back to the true whites without that blue shoulder color...those were sweet away unis

Personally really liked our usual home and away uni’s plus the helmets with the enhanced stripe.  Not a huge change just a subtle update to the best uniforms in the league.

Tony Bennett sounds like a good pick.  Good job Kyle!

good read on Abu....also wonder if Management picked Thiadric's brain about him...sounds like he could be this yr's Parker

Happy that Bennett is looking solid. A Canadian rotating in at DE this year would be a huge help.

I wonder if Karamoko works his way in as an extra db and our second global. Would allow us to DI a DE and a LB.

Yes we never really replaced Kongbo last year, was definitely a hole that needed to be filled.

Glaring hole....and be nice if Bennett can carry the load of 15 to 20 reps a game...seems legit enough....and opening that extra spot up DI wise would be huge...

I do think the alts were pretty horrible. 

There needs to be alternates, I guess. But I hate it.

With our wr depth it doesn’t much matter imo. We saw a few guys like whop last year have great camps and just have no room for them. The back up ni wr spot is more going to come down to how many pr spots we hold for it and if every one stays healthy. We don’t have a lot of bodies for ni wr, and are very top heavy in what we do have. 

he would be an extreme long shot to make the team as a wr... but what about the possibility of being a special teamer?... no one is unseating Janarion just yet but wasn't MOS Jr a dynamic returner in the BC jr league?

Amen. I hate the blue shoulders, it’s the only thing I would change on our uniforms other than maybe just thinning out the number set a tiny, tiny sliver.

He’s nowhere near fast enough to be a returner in this league. To put his athleticism into perspective, his 40 time would’ve been dead last at the NFL combine for receivers by almost .2 seconds. Would’ve only beat one tight end. No linebackers. No corners. No safeties. Even the punter who ran the 40 this year was faster than him.
