That depth chart is directly from the Bombers?

 

Interesting that they are looking at Swiston as a tackle and Pencer as a guard.  Also interesting that we have 3 interior guys who are imports.  Import centre looks like a strong possibility, but how the OL comes together is all going to depend on how confident they are in Neufeld at tackle.

 

Looks like we're rolling with one conventional LB and a whole lot of DB's most of the time.

 

Scary that we only have one long-snapper, and he's in his first pro camp, I suppose we could do some maneuvering to get someone else if he struggles.

 

I think anderson will make the team, pretty sure they will start a non import field corner and go 4 oline

 

 

I don't put too much stock in the depth chart in May.... guys like Ian Wild and Zach Anderson are too good to be back-ups.... I think the one thing that sticks out to me is Neufeld at RT, I think that's where he'll be day one....

I'm very surprised they don't have Anderson locked in beside Turner. Only reason I'm nervous about zach is because they're letting Etch have so much control over the personnel on defence.

Not sure why Etch wouldn't like Anderson though, he's got a crazy motor, and he's as fast as a LB'er! He can fly to the ball and is ridiculously athletic for his position

just saying but shouldn't the defensive coordinator have control over the personnel on defence? if not the DC, then who? Not sure why everyone is so worried about anderson, he's a good player and will make the team. If he doesn't, it just means he got beat out by someone better. I doubt that happens tho as zach seems very motivated and definitely will make an impression. I think he's safe, just think maybe basing things on a depth chart which probably means very little right now is a little extreme.

Only reason I'm a little bit worried is because of who the DC is

 

Well, the DC likes good players who hustle and never quit so i dont see why he wouldn't like anderson. Anderson is exactly what etch wants in a player, he can play multiple positions on the dline, can play defensive tackle and defensive end... IMO, anderson is the definition of a player that ETCH would want.

wild can also long snap and did it quite a bit last season.

Fitzgerald can do it as well.

They've also had Goossen long snapping at rookie camp.

True, I think we want a specialist though.  Wild would be good in a pinch.

Bring back Guebert as our specialist long snapper lol!

What do you think of them using Tate at DE JBR? you hate it as much as I do?

Probably no coincidence that it is the same guy who was long-snapping for Hajrullahu at Western.

Not thrilled with the Lucas and Dunn placements so far but depth charts have a way of changing...

What I like is that it doesn't seem to be a question of Neufeld being ready for RT, it seems to be a question of Goossen being ready at center. If Goossen is ready, it'll roll changes throughout the entire depth chart. Suddenly there wouldn't be a need for Ryan Lucas at DT and Zach Anderson can retake ownership of that spot.

any camps updates specifically re: (1) the MLB, (2) the WIL and (3) the KR spots

With Lucas as a starting DT, that's essentially a way of putting the 7th NI spot as a rotation correct. As in Lucas starts but Newman may come in to play lb or safety or Briggs at lb or Bucknor at field corner and Alexander moving to safety.

I don't like any scenario in which Ian Wild is taken off of the field.

I feel like they are basically ready to cut Swiston, although he might stick around just because we have so few NI OL.

They'll probably stick him on the 9 game IR.

Don't really have an opinion on it.  We'll have to see.  Etcheverry isn't constructing a defense to play the run.

It bothers me that he doesn't respect the run enough to at least have a decent sized DL. If Kuale gets injured we'll have a 207 pound MLB with 2 DB's on either side of him, and a Strong Safety off the edge who will probably struggle to get the OT's hands off him when he inevitably engages.

 

I forsee a lot of Power I's against us. Cornish and Messam are going to kill us...

Messam won't kill anyone.

Tackling is all about technique.

Its hilarious we are 1 freaking day into training camp and are already panicking about our d-line size and run stopling ability.. I mean, come on..maaaaaaaaaaaybe if after both preseason games we have been ran on for 400 yards then we can panic. Until then, lets let the coaches n GM put the roster together..

Who has our best tackler arguably been the last few seasons, i'd argue that it was the smallest guy on the field, alex suber. So yeah size really doesn't matter as much as some are making it out to be. And prior to him, could argue it was that gigantic 5'9 maybe monster in jonathan hefney. Size doesn't mean much really.

who do you think is harder to block? Zach Anderson or Alex Suber? Don't tell me size doesn't matter... especially in the run game

That depends. It'd be much easier to catch Anderson. You need to catch up to the guy before even attempting to tackle.
