I asked myself today, "If the season started tomorrow, who would be the 21 Canadians on the roster?"  Assuming Richards and Wagonner both sign.  This is what I came up with:

 

3 DL - Westerman, Brown, Thomas
4 LB - Hurl, Wagonner, Newman, Briggs
3 DB - Bucknor, Jones, Morgan
4 OL - Greaves, Picard, Neufeld, Chungh
3 WR - Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Richards
2 FB - Pontbriand, Cronk
1 RB - Normand
1 PK - Hajrullahu

------

21

 

There were some tough decisions to make.  However most of the remaining guys will still end up with the team in some way... on the reserve list, practice roster, or injured lists.  Here are the guys who didn't quite make the cut:

 

DL - Richardson
LB - Warden
DB - Sherman, West
OL - Goossen, Everett, Griffiths
WR - Bastien, Millington, Reaves
FB - Fitzgerald, Lattanzio

 

Of course this is all just my opinion.  Let's hear what you think.... too many linebackers, not enough receivers?  Too many fullbacks, not enough defensive backs?  Morgan making the team over Sherman?  Am I drunk?  It's 9 a.m!  But I haven't slept in days.

I honestly would have no issue with them starting 8 9 10 canadians if that's what they decided to do, I mean, i don't think they would start 8 or 9 or 10 if they didn't have too, imo, they(coaches/management) want to win and if starting 8 Canadians means we have a better chance at winning, then so be it.

 

Maybe those starting 8 Canadians or whatever, maybe they are actually better than the americans that were brought in? Nobody ever thinks of that really...

 

Rules are rules and you must start 7 Canadians, If you can start more, it just means that 8th canadian starter is probably better than the american alternative. 

 

 

I truly hope that what Walters said about potentially starting 8 Canadians on opening day is not true. Unless he's counting Lirim.

I seem to recall us doing this last year with Sherman over Johnny Sears to predictably pedestrian results.

 

Maybe Yantz out-duels Willy for the starting QB position?  

 

 

QB position does not count for the ratio.  That's why most team's have never carried a Canadian as a QB (such as the 3rd QB).

 

 

Yeah I know that.  I was joking.
