It was nice to see a couple of roster additions this week. There is plenty of latent talent that didn't quite make the grade in other tryout camps around the CFL. See QB Dominic Davis last year.

What I am wondering is whether we have a merit based decision making process. It seems in the past once you made the starting lineup on week one, you were there to stay unless

[1] you got injured

or

[2] you repeatedly embarrassed yourself over several games

Many of the starting choices were very close choices, when the number 2 contender was behind  by only a whisker or two.

We need to make changes at DE and at DB based on performance. Will we start alternates at those two spots Friday?

Will we use judgment and merit to make changes or will we stick to loyalty/consistency/stubborness/pride to resist needed change?

I sure hope so, it would be nice if he LaPo had the authority to use the QB's as he sees fit.  Ya never know, he might be able to save the job of his Over-Meister.

I imagine so, and hope soo. If in 3 weeks we arent getting it done that might change though. Im hope full tomorrow though.

so you would rather Mos be like Corey Chamblin...one fumble and you're out. You have no merit to what you're saying at this point.

You are misstating what I said ... why speak foolishly? If you are playing poorly find the bench for a series or two .... wake up and find some resolve ... If its two bad games in a row give a promising player a chance  for at least part of a game.... if its an unproven newbie with a glaring weakness, try someone else who is close.

There are plenty of NFL & CFL head coaches who make constant non-injury  "adjustments" all season long

Do you remember how unwilling Lapo was to change his qbs out when he was coaching here before?

Wasn't one of his strong suits. Always liked Lapo as a coach but always thought he wasn't mean enough

You can't really run a season-long training camp if you want to have a chance to win.

I agree, but the team should, at least to a degree be always looking to improve.

He's supposed to be smarter now, here's hoping.

Macho had a pretty good game Friday.

Somehow.

I dont know if its by design or just his play style but i thought he played soft and too far back.  i miss having a ball hawking safety,  not just a guy willing to get in for a tackle long after the catch

Two words ... Grady Cavness

Mo Leggett is a more current example.

Sure we can change and it's unfortunate for Calgary that they got in the way.
