I'm sure those 4 will be the 4 all yr...Greek dude on pr

Eli will be fine at guard...but excellent at center...I truly don't want us going 3 imports on online as that basically just takes away a guy on defence...Likely a guy on the dline...if we wanna excell on defence this yr we need a better than solid rotation of 3 import ends..2 import tackles and the Global and one nat dt...if we use an import on oline we will have an interior of schmeck...schmuck and one of adams or Woods and likely no Person or any other import that makes a case for the roster...and if that happens we will get gouged and ate alive upfront and need our backend to be more than exceptional...all the time. And as good as they can be back there...that won't happen

If Evans out punts punter guy again...there is no reason he shouldn't get game one...and if ya'll noticed on his punts there was minimal return on them..there's a reason for that

I not writing Wheatfall off either...I could see a Schoen..Demski..CLercius..Wheatfall..White and D.Mitxhell group...with Mitchel the DA and punt/kick return guy...63k sunk in a signing bonus assures his ticket on roster and I bet he gets his groove going...this regime isn't one to admit error and bite the bulett on money so hes a lock

Yeah Wheatfall showed enough potential last yr..and did have a couple nice plays sat...he oozes potential and hes a returnee ...so I'd be shocked hes not in starting unit...if hes not i bet it's Hall...Whom i pretty sure will be on PR if not on roster

Eli doesn’t work well with kola. Neuf tbh doesn’t either. 
It’s certainly sup optimal by a lot. Imp guard is a crutch. If you gotta do it, do it. I think we are best off sticking Wallace in and growing with him. Then one day swapping Eli in for the turnstile at c. 
 

vanterpool also had some really good plays at T. I’d like to continue to see him develop there and push Randolph.

Strev needs to start against starters..with starters to prep for the first game..2 full quarters if not 1.5 quarters....give Wilson the 3rd and a bit...let ZC pick aprt scrubs to.close out..Chase no need...he won't see field this yr and is truly a PR guy...development...sure he looked okay but remember who he was playing against...and when it was in game...was basically scrub/garbage let's get everyone in game on both sides time...put him in 1st thru 2nd quarter and we'd all been saying see ya buddy...hope Elgersma shows up soon

100% agree.

I don’t think we see Collaros in SK, especially when he’s not playing in gm 1. Get Streveler those reps.

since we have a bye then a suspension week to Zach, I think he needs a decent few snaps this game to get the last rust off and try to keep it off.

I'm taking Reggie White above Wheatfall due to thicker build, he can hang around on the PR till injury happen, or till Pokey comes home  Sterns better have an impressive outing in game 2 or Myron Mitchell's going to grab his spot as the twitchy inside receiver.  Dillon Mitchell not showing much yet, but I guess he'll show up sooner or later, but maybe too late.

Who does work well with Kolo? Lol...our guards basically just cope with it...Vanterpool has progressed a lot..and can play multiple spots..def a keeper but I soooo don't want 3 import oline as it will rape our defence in a huge way

I think white has just about won a job with his run game play and system fit.

As it is I think we will be right up against it for starting Canadians with 3ol. I would still look hard at flipping wil to ni but we aren’t grooming to get that done this year.

Gotta say not happy seeing Woli & Lawler playing for the Ti Cats last night. It was still a shock to the system to see all the former Blue Bombers on that team even though we knew it already. I can understand releasing Woli & wanting to get more playing time for Clercius but Lawler? Currrently the best deep threat in the CFL at the moment. Walters better hope that Schoen plays every game, has a dominant season & get bogged down with injuries since Walters hasn't got a contract for next season. Neither has Osh.

They highlighted Augustine too, which was kind of nice to see.

Go with whoever Collaros likes better.

There's not a ton to choose from between those guys.  Mitchell and White have the most experience.  They are complimentary with one being more of the heavy inside style and the other being more of the guy you're trying to get loose vertical or one-on-one off a screen with a corner.  But if for some reason Collaros really feels comfortable working with Wheatfall or Myron Mitchell, put them on the roster.

I don’t expect all 4 QBs to play tbh. I think Wilson’s snaps will be limited even. Strevy and zach likely play a lot of the snaps unless injury, massive hits, or an extremely lopsided performance. 
 

From what I’ve seen and the reports so far I think punting is what it is and will continue to be. Sheahan has been shaky and Evan’s looks like a killer. 
 

 

Didn't sound like Collaros is travelling to Regina as of last night.

Think it'll be Streveler first 3-4 series then first couple in 2nd half, Wilson around that and Artopoeus for most of the 4th.

If zc I'd wanna see Strev get at least the first half...Wilson 3rd and part of 4th...new guy last part of 4th...as there no way in hell he getting in the first game so why bother...hes strictly development guy at this point...hes not unseating and of the 3 ahead of him

Even with Schoen back we shoulda still payed Lawler in my opinion...Eliminate D Mitchel and Thomas money...hes paid for....Lawler..Schoen..Clercius..Demski...White would look pretty sweet right about now..

I think Vanterpool had the most snaps of any OL in the game, he was involved at LG, LT and RT in various OL configurations

Man I hope that’s not the case.

Seems like it he played with 2nd unit on. Wallace also played a lot with his rt reps as did vibert.

Bryant Eli Kola Neuf Randolph

Bryant Vanterpool Kola Neuf Randolph

Vanterpool Wallace Eli Vibert Hemphill

Hemphill Elsbury Eli Vibert Wallace

Hemphill Elsbury Levesque-G. Atkinson Vanterpool

Was hilarious to watch kolankowski and neufeld downfield... neufeld gets a block allowing the receiver to pick up extra yards... and kolankowski had a great view of the tackle. Useless sack of ****.

You know I agree with the premise but 5 straight cup finals means they are here as long as they both want to be.

If he not squared right up with someone immediately he is just lost...and usually they just driving him back into the pocket...his 50's and chips to follow up and engage with his guard in second level is horrendous bordering on non existent...do you every see him in second level or downfield...on seek and destroy? I can't recall...but you see others...what fascination with him Osh has is baffelling..hes undersized...and an undersized center is a bonus if they athletic and active as it allows you to do so much more...and he isn't...just don't get it...and motion in front of him or twists and stunts...fugetaboutit
