I’m sure it’ll be that time soon, but let’s at least have a dedicated thread to discuss (scream) about the cuts (Moses)

If Shayne gauthier is our starting middle line backer, someone needs to explain things. 

Most likely to be Wilson with Cole moving to WIL, nothing wrong with that.

Some of you live in fantasy land. It will be gauthier.  It was gauthier the minute bighill got hurt.  Just like pretending smith will be brought back. It’s just fantasy land. He was cut. Gauthier is our middle linebacker guaranteed.

Well at least our problems with linebackers got worse than last year. Huzzah!

Keeping McGhee at all is a head scratcher but as others have said he may have been one of the few dbs to accept a PR spot.  Thought he Roc Carmichael’d his way through both preseason games… not impressed.

I’m not sure if gauthier is any worse than bighill tho. That’s the thing. It just annoys me I see a path to 9 Canadian starters. It’s what I called yesterday. They will start more cdns than they need to because O’Shea is just that way. Wonder how much say a buck or younger have. Hopefully lots. I hope it’s not O’Shea making the decisions.

Sometimes the best DBs are the ones you don't really notice out there. I think that's what you get with Bonds and Bridges

Bridges I thought was noticeable in a good way last game.

I think McGhee came into camp thinking he had to step up. Was looking into the backfield too often and got burnt. Coaches have likely seen enough of him that there's something there. 2nd year player has some experience in case the rooks falter

McGhee was in the marines I’m guessing.  He’s another one I called. Worst player in the games will make it. Sure enough. McGhee makes it.

Sounds like 3 American DEs (Willie, Haba Garbutt) and 3 American DTs (Fox, Woods, Adams) which is so much american DL talent. None on the PR all on active? Wild

I believe the active roster includes the dev roster which are players who don't dress but we protect.

Osh will send out bighill with 1 leg over some of the younger guys with futures. Maybe bighill starts week 1.

Hands down better unless biggie is 100% 

honestly we are much better with gauthier at mac and the imp dts than any of the imp lbers and jake playing a lot of snaps.

He has to be out until at least Week 2 since they put him on 6 game.

Calling it now. Mitchell will be released by week 3.

?? Dev roster? Is this new?

That shouldn't be the bar...

Refreshing furiously waiting for Booch's thoughts on the linebackers.

Gauthier for game 1 makes sense. Heck, he's a decent enough player. 6 games in is when I would expect some of the rookies to get better acclamated. Then we will see. Gemmel was my pick for who stood out the most. I wonder if they take a look at Moses later when he's healthy. But otherwise I'm a bit surprised they didn't keep around Petrishen. And I don't really know anything about these global linebackers.

Same… you mean guys continuously getting scratched… but earning bigger cheques than the PR guys?  What?

I'm surprised they kept the British one.  He looked like a random high school player thrown out there.

Noeller, earmuffs.

To recap: over last year we have the same bad punter, no returner, worse linebackers and a fifth receiver who can't catch.

Did you just make that up 

I’m sure it includes the 4 man group but don’t believe it’s a developmental thing.  Isn’t it just 4 guys who don’t dress but get a check still. But If say a guy gets hurt hours b4 the game, 1 of those 4 dudes could replace him on the AR

Probably.  It fits with the usual MO

Who is the british one?! 

I thought it was two German guys

Did they get rid of the dev roster or something?  I remember when they brought it in and don't remember when they got rid of it.
