Questions re Lawler situation:

1. Him being suspended... Does this help us with the cap?

2. Why did he only plead in April? Was wondering if maybe this is whu he didnt play against us last year (to prevent being arraigned in MB)

Also imagine if he had clean snaps going back to him...

Yeah...both games he has had to deal with craptacular snaps...messing up timing and vision

He doesn't get paid until he's on the roster.

Courts in Manitoba are that far behind.

Sometimes either the Crown or the defence will ask for continuances due to either having a weak case (and hope for a plea deal) or the defendant has personal circumstances that present reasonable grounds for a remand.

Fwiw, Bauming says don't expect cuts to be announced today and maybe not tomorrow either. They do have to be in by 10pm to the league but might not announce til Monday.

Tait seems to think otherwise. But I do understand where Bauming is coming from. The team doesn't rush these things.

Ya just saw that. Osh will not release a thing until he's absolutely forced to, because **** everyone else.

Which is honestly ridiculous at the league level.

Post the cuts and rosters once the are submitted.  Why is it up to the individual teams?

I'm pretty sure MOS just wants to make sure he tells each guy first. Some guys are cool with just leaving a voice mail or letting guys find out on social media with everyone else.

yeah, I don't remember that hit being some kind of Ed Philion situation ... just bad luck and an awkward landing.

The weirdest thing about the play was that Lemon got past Stanley to whack Nichols.

Liegghio is out. No other real surprises, Salima and Adamson maybe?

Salima would be the closest thing to a surprise

I was surprised about Adamson, covert the guy from Dline to Oline and not at least keep him around on practice roster?

So who's our punter?

I never learned their names. I see Stanton was cut and Schmitz added to the PR.

Sheahan won the job on paper. But it looks like Schmitz is still in the mix

Too bad about Salima but as I was saying in the GDT, just don't see how you can keep him given the ratio.

No way.

McCrae was kept because he doubles in that pass catching/receiver role when we need him, but Salima looked like a classic RB. Needed to change the ratio to fit him and he wasn't THAT impressive. 

Leggs is a bit of a surprise....but also not really. 

Harrison being cut after getting re-signed earlier this week is kinda odd.

Adamson is a complete surprise to me. Thought hed be a PR player forsure. But must have flopped i guess.

Did anyone new other than Pigrome make the team? Looks like a real wet fart of a recruiting year.

Yup. Who was it that always said "if you're not getting better, you're getting worse"?

Honestly, this seems like a precursor to the current run of success ending.

Lieghhio lost the trust of the coaching staff. They may have seen an improvement in Leggs at TC but... memories are long. They were probably afraid to give him another chance as he could struggle again as a kicker/punter. We all know once that trust is gone it's real hard to earn back. Especially froma  specialist who isn't an every down player.

So much for In The Canadian Mafia We Trust. C'mon so now the sky is falling?

I don't think they lost trust in him as a punter. As a kicker, yes. They brought in Castillo. And then these globals were that good.

Looks like there are 5 new players on the practice roster who I really like and could make an impact given the chance. I think they recruited really well, gave the big names a chance to prove themselves during the 2 preseasons and kept the 5 who did impress. We will be alright!
