Players going to Ottawa on Monday 

 

a few guys missing that I wanted to see, lots of talented guys getting cut/PRed this year. nice to have depth

A few surprises that might be explained by an updated injury list.

Louie Richardson, didn't expect to be recovered.

No Travis Bond.

No Veltung.

No Jake Thomas.

No Medlock.

No Alex Vitt, too bad but I doubt he has a chance to make the team with no game showings.  Hopefully he gets a spot on the PR.

3 starters on the D-line staying home, Westerman, Shologan and Cummings.

Excited to get a look at Jace Davis

No reason to have Medlock go

True....especially since we are taking our ace...Castillo  lol....Man it's going to be hard to see this guy walk..

why isn't Dressler playing?  And I expected to see Bond.

Dressler is still injured.

Thought I saw that CJ Roberts was cut.

can't make the club from the tub.

As good as medlock is, I can't help but wonder if we would've been better off with Castillo and using that money elsewhere.

I for one am glad we have Medlock.  Too many games blown over the years by crappy kicking.  Good to see this issue finally addressed.  

I think I'd still rather have Medlock there just to get a bit more game time with a new holder... no biggie

Excited to see Corney-Butcher-Collins-Green start the game

Expected more import OL on the roster

Castillo has shown "promise" but you don't know if a cheque is good until you take it to the bank- in this case, full-contact games. Castillo might just develop a sudden mysterious injury which will keep him sidelined indefinitely but could heal spontaneously and abruptly.

What i take from this is... There are a few guys that they want to see more  from, some of these guys obviously impressed. Some might have done enough last game to get a spot, Hubbard is a guy that comes to mind as a guy who showed very strong last game, and yeah he's dressing this game but... i'd suspect he sees quite a bit of time to see if he can duplicate what he did last week. Green is another guy they are high on (DE's here obviously).  They are gonna get a bunch of time to show what they can do...

 

Receivers, you look at that group and Davis? Excited to see him play, Fred Williams is another one who showed well last week, Mayo is another guy... those are probably the front  runners to take some jobs with Davis probably being the front runner right now, Willy sure praised him a fair bit the other day. 

 

The OL... obviously Hardrick and Foketi are 2 guys that have stood out to them... they want to see them get more reps.

 

Also, this is our 2nd and if i'm not mistaken, this is Ottawas 1st pre-season game right? 

 

Man, there's lots of time until the season starts, lots of time to make decisions really.

Medlock's holder is Dressler who also isn't playing. Dressler and Medlock work on holding techniques at every practice. I'm sure they will be ok.

It's diagnosed as Polymyofascialitis.

I just don't want to lose any more games because of kicking... ha

Medlock is basically 87-90% on FG every year, and makes quite a few long ones. I'm quite happy to have him. Hajrullau's good year is the same as Medlocks worst full season

It looks like they've already decided to keep Bond so cutting any of Foketi, Hardrick or Jace Daniels is going to be a tough decision as they've all shown some good stuff.  Aundrey Walker is not traveling to Ottawa so he might be injured or on the cut line.  He was on the depth chart against Mtl. but even at 6"-6" 315 lbs. I don't recall seeing him.

I made a list of the guys not playing on Monday:

Jeff Keeping        C      - knee, 6-8 weeks
Travis Bond       OL     - injured, didn't practice June 10th
Aundrey Walker  OL   - injured, week to week
Kris Adams         WR    - coming off injury
Weston Dressler  WR  - injured, week to week
Addison Richards WR  -  hand, 2-3 weeks
Justin Veltung     WR     - injured, week to week
Alex Vitt             WR      - injured, week to week
Pascal Lochard    RB    -  injured, week to week
Justin Medlock     K      - healthy
Chad Rempel       LS     - injured, week to week
Euckid Cummings  DL  - healthy
Sam Scott             DL    - injured, week to week
Keith Shologan      DL  - healthy
Jamal Westerman  DL  - healthy
Jake Thomas         DT  - healthy
Jesse Briggs          LB   - injured, week to week
Shayne Gauthier    LB   - injured
Sam Hurl              LB    - mid-body, week to week
Derrell Johnson     LB    - injured, week to week

Well that list pretty much explains everything.  Where did you find it?

I made the list myself by going through the roster. As for the status of the players, the Wpg Sun has updates on lots of the guys and for the rest I just checked twitter for confirmation of their injuries.

Great work, much appreciated.

Anybody know of any decent live streaming sites for tonight's game? Stuck at work and would like to watch the game. Guess I always have Bob Irving to listen to if I can't find a decent stream.

Medlock is a proven kicker, and a great free agent signing. As I type this I'm just wondering.....do we hang onto Castillo and TRADE him rather than cut him? Trade him for a player in a position we need some help with?? Hate to see him go for nothing.....
