Is this ever a guy we should take a run at? I really like Pokey as a receiver but not sure he's a 1A Superstar guy... Would you ever take a run at Hatcher as your #1 and then have Pokey and Demski as 2/3?

Just watch, it's balancing itself out as we speak. 3 and even 4 Americans on the OL are no longer uncommon

I think we'll see more Canadian talents like Brady O, and more quality Americans on the OL

Does anyone even start a Canadian OT anymore? I believe the last one for the Big Blue was Gauthier, a good 15 years ago.

No CFL head coach dares put a Canadian Tackle on the left side of the OL. They aren't strong enough, quick enough or have the technique down to stop a fast American DE. They can't function on an island where'd they'd be out there. They only can play the interior of the OL. Overpaid to say the least.

But would you say a Canadian guard makes as much as a top notch American tackle? I think the good OL would cost about the same
