The 3-4th and lower guys don’t have much of a chance either
15 hours ago15 hr 2 hours ago, wbbfan said:he quit after the players got the depth chart. Mos commented on their conversation and the cause of it.What do you mean by this? He quit because he saw the depth chart and knew he wouldn’t get tons of reps? There were 5 QBs here, what could he have expected?

My condolences to the Hamilton Tiger Cats, You got suckered.Had a few chuckles this off-season when some media (usually 3DN) would say we had a hole at center because we "lost" him in free agency. Not really losing something if you threw it away, IMO.

3 hours ago3 hr what's the deal with Kayden Jenkins... I know he showed some promise in the game 18 last year... however, I noticed he's listed at 275 this year (up from 260 last year)... I wonder if he has positional versatility, with the option to move inside sometimes due to his size and low centre of gravity...

There were 5 QBs here, what could he have expected?You can work 5 qbs in pre season, we've done it before. Lets be real, no one was passing TE and probably not Perkins either unless he totally turned to dog water. The decision to throw 99% of game reps to 2 qbs isn't normal. 1 hour ago, bearpants said:what's the deal with Kayden Jenkins...

I wonder if he has positional versatility, with the option to move inside sometimes due to his size and low centre of gravity...He is a guy who could rush from a 3 tech spot and play inside out like many tweeners we've had in the past. But we haven't really given him a ton of reps doing that. I hope to see it today though. And Fletcher could do the same. His versatility is his biggest advantage imo. If reese plays smarter, his explosivity is extremely coveted. And Dixon is the best of the young guys vying for that spot. 33 minutes ago, Booch said:There's room for both if we dont totally do something dumb with rosterAnd thinking both will be on as they can both slide inside1 guy will start and another guy should be a DI. Then we should keep probably 2 on the PR. That group is lead by Dixon, Jenkins, Fletcher, and Reese. I also think Arnold Young has a real chance to steal AR reps.

1 hour ago1 hr Looks like BC is starting most of their first stringers so should give a good test for the defense to see who stands out when they are in. Most of BC's starting defence has been left home so this should be a good even test for todays BB offence (who are mostly second stringers), looking forward to this evenings game!
1 hour ago1 hr Jenkins looked a lot more explosive than Dixon IMO. Dixon kind of plays like a heavier WJ. He's not firing off he's reading the play. Jenkins is in the backfield 1/4 pass plays before the OT even gets his hands up.
Starting line-ups for tomorrow have been released:
