BigBlue Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 How often in times past has bringing in Import talent in July, August & September led to such players starting that year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Jace Daniels came in last October and started a couple games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Greg Carr was a midseason recruit. Derek Armstrong too, though he'd already had some CFL time with Saskatchewan so he probably doesn't count. There was that emergency during 2013 when we lost both our starting tackles and brought in Dan Knapp and Jarvis Jones on like three days notice. Both guys played pretty well for us their first game vs. Edmonton tho we lost in overtime -- I think that was Burke's kneeldown game and also the game that exiled Goltz to Burke's doghouse for good. Both Knapp and Jones stuck around after the emergency was over, they were with us in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Injuries and other circumstances force you to bring in players, Taman traded for Zeke Moreno one year. There are always options no matter the time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vet picked up mid-season stands more of a chance to start than a rookie does. If a guy like Rennie Curran gets tired of waiting for another NFL shot, he could easily join a team at any point in the season and be starting shortly after.

BigBlue Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I was just thinking in terms of upgrading talent .... not thinking about emergency replacements at all Do we have a stand pat roster for the rest of the year now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Air lift? Its more of a crap shoot then the cis draft imop. But it never hurts to bring in able bodies with potential. Id especially like to see a play making MLB/DE and a receiver who can gain yards after the catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 One would think that a team is constantly evolving....looking to improve and constantly upgrade talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 One would think that a team is constantly evolving....looking to improve and constantly upgrade talent. It seems MOS wanted to stand pat with his July 1 2014 roster last year until forced to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 There NEVER should be a stand pat roster... always look to improve.. will we change things up? Maybe.. hard to demand changes when we are first in our division tho.. no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems MOS wanted to stand pat with his July 1 2014 roster last year until forced to change That seems to be the case for the last couple of year.
