Hahah...oh my...thing with Osh tho...and not a slight...hes a "do as I say.. and not as I do" kind of guy...as a player he was a prick...one of the sneakiest dirty guys and played on the edge of legal stuff...and was kind of a real prick...total anthesesis of what he claims we look for...I have nothing wrong with that kind of player as that's how I was...and generally kind of player that flourished...I just find it funny cause Osh the player would have a hard time making or staying on the roster of Osh the coach...his saving grace would been his birth certificate 

I actually think osh still loves those guys who play right on the line. Like don't take stupid penalties but I don't think he’s got a problem with the guys who take a little shot here and there just to send a message.

O'Shea affectionately referred to Kramdi as "a bit of a prick". 

“I love the way Redha plays football, his passion for the game. And he’s got that ability to be a prick, and that’s a good thing on the football field.”

Asked today to expand a bit further on the ‘prick’ component, O’Shea added this: “It’s a term of endearment from me. When that gets that bestowed upon him, that’s very positive. It’s just that edge — not the penalty — just the edge, the desire to win your one-on-one and beat your opponent all the time and no quarter. You just want to beat them.”

Be a lot of shuffling to do for the first game day roster. Kyrie in still makes me sad. Think the first roster will be a lot of status quo. 

[bustamente]

Ballsy will be crushed, well I guess PR is a start

I dunno. Nobody unexpected really. Evans wasn’t great punting in Sask. maybe that’s the only surprise. Can’t get all the guys they kept on the roster so gotta be a couple more coming no? 

Who is Allen? Is that a QB or the guy from the Barbie movie. They appear to have kept a couple guys in waiting in person and woodbey so that’s nice. Oh cam Allen. I see. 
 

 

Cody Kase was the best receiver ? Hmm. Ok. Cuz I’m not sure we kept any new recruit other than Vaval. Osh be Osh ing a bit here.

This won’t be close to game roster and won’t for any team.  Week 1 shuffle then Week 2 because that’s when we play finally.

[rebusrankin]

I expected it but disappointed we didn't move on from Kyrie and Sheehan and to a lesser extent Schemekel.

Kornelson and Stearns making the roster are both surprising.

I count 6 DT (Adams, Woods, Lawson, Thomas, Schmekel and Kornelson) and only 2 DEs (Vaughters and WJ). That can't be correct.

[Goalie]

It makes you wonder the point of camp when most vets get it off and do nothing but make the team eventho perhaps there are better options. We can’t cut kyrie or Jake I mean fletcher and Carey were cut and I’d argue they both 5 x the players still. It’s sad O’Shea has an attachment to aging vets.

I hope so cuz we got worse it seems. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

My biggest wtf is Sterns.  Guy was ass in both games.  Hasn’t returned. He’s the kind of receiver our QBs don’t work well with…Zach loves the catch radius guys.  Must have had an amazing camp

[Colin Unger]

Why would we PR that British DE?  We had 2 globals we protected ahead of him? 

[Goalie]

Media needs to ask what’s up with Jake and kyrie really. Why move on from bighill and BA but bring these 2 more washed than BA players back. Why can’t O’Shea make the tough but right decision. Why must we handicap ourselves. From Damian Jackson to Jake. It’s just dumb. Why can other teams. Why can’t we. It’s insanity. Making the team worse on purpose.

So who’s our other corner after Bonds?

The logic might be that you move on from a couple at a time rather than all at once. But with the young linebackers we have it seems annoying to keep Wilson around.

Sheehan and Weitz. 
 

Osh is running it back minus lawler.

Parker is the corner and Vaval. Odd choice as dandy and Gowan were shutdown and not coming off injuries.

[Colin Unger]

I’m glad Myron was cut for no other reason than it prevents confusion. I imagine Dillon Mitchell gets a reprieve because of the injury to Logan. They’re probably gonna opt for Mitchell on returns until Logan is healthy. 

[blue85gold]

Marquises Bridges made the team?

so DBs currently are Bonds, Holm, Parker, Nichols, Bridges, Vaval

[Goalie]

Long snapper Leroux released. Keeping the guy who is moments from retirement  but a good one but literally did kinda retire then unretire this off season. Wild. No care about the future.
