Floyd Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Things are looking a bit grim with the ratio. REC: Watson, Foster OL: Greaves, Sorenson(?) or Kowalczuk, Morely, Neufeld S: Muamba or Bucknor DL: Thomas Depth: REC: Carter, Renaud, F-G, Brescacin ...Etienne? OL: Pencer, Swiston, Paliwoda? DL: Lucas DB: West, Sherman RB/FB: Fitz, Pontbriand, Volny LB: Dubuisson, Stephan This might actually be worse than what Kelly left us with. Starting the season with Muamba or Bucknor at Safety? We NEED to sign Butler/Newman and Myddleton more than Willy i think... We're stacked at 'average Cdn receiver' though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Sucks Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 There are some starting canadians available that haven't been signed yet that can hlep us if we actually sign them. Which I have major doubts about our ability to close a deal with a free agent... Ted Laurent - DL Josh bourke - OL Middleton - OL Emery - MLB Butler - DB With a couple other borderline guys that could still be an upgrade over what we have now. If we can mange to get 2 of these 5...that would really help our weak Canadian talent pool. Not to mention maybe going after Patrick Watkins (import mind you) for our secondary if no NFL offers.

Mike Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's kind of a strange time to start a ratio discussion. This is literally the worst time of year to look at a roster. All you can do is subtract from your roster at this point, you can't add any new certainties to it until a week from now. yogi, blitzmore, Mr. Perfect and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esks lost Krausnick to Ottawa and then signed Baboulas just a few days ago to shore up their depth at Centre. Plus Dublanko as an ST addition. I'd certainly take Baboulas over Kowalczuk. Nothing wrong with taking a look at where we stand this year as opposed to this time last year... see where we stand with FA coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was okay until the injury. Its more that I just want to see a different option than Sorenson or CK. Forgot Kris Robertson at DB... that's a bit of a bright side. Maybe Alli will show up.

Make fun of Baboulas if you want, he's still better than Kowalczuk and Sorenson. He lost his job to Matt Norman... the guy we passed on to gamble on Bilukidi... There was a Centre available and we passed. Fair enough but Walters better have a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Quite honestly, I have no idea how you come to your conclusions regarding offensive linemen.

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Dicroce was the worst receiver we had in training camp last year by a long shot. Couldn't get separation from CFL DB's in skelly, struggled with hands in unopposed drills. Combine that with the recurring Lisfranc issues with his foot, not a prospect I'd worry about.

I'd love to hear your expanded analysis on why a guy like Baboulas is a better OL than Sorenson. Or how he projects as a starting centre, when he's played his entire life at tackle and guard and only worked at centre as a utility lineman last season when BC was desperate. Steve Morley practiced at centre for us too...I think he might end up being a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I assume we will now be starting 4 NI's on the OL. Looks that way. I'm thinking 4 NI OL, 2 NI receivers, and an NI somewhere on defence. It would be nice to pick up Laurent, Butler, or Emry so we don't have to start Cauchy or Bucknor at Safety.

If Laurent goes to the NFL, is Wiecek going to write a scathing article about Ed Hervey and how he failed to sign Laurent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
