Don't think he will be close to ready this week, but he could've still won it.

Mayala would be worth a look/workout/physical for sure. We should get a preliminary look at the injured soon. I'm worried the pile of DNPs this week will be long.

Its a good add. A QB coach would've been better, but its late now for that. He must've been very well received by the O and the coaches. Also, ott picks up Bailey. Probably just for the told-ya-so crowd on here 🙃 3DownNationOttawa Redblacks sign three CFL cutdown casualties - 3Dow...The Ottawa Redblacks have signed American receiver Binjimen Victor, Global defensive lineman Kemari Munier-Bailey, and American linebacker Aaron Casey, the team announced on Monday. Victor was release

Jake Thomas at every position. We were really mediocre overall, and one of the worst bomber offences in over a decade. Overachieved win-wise, which is kind of crazy. The offence will be better from addition by subtraction. How that will translate to points scored is up in the air. Never know with a new OC/system. Hasn't Condells teams had red zone issues? Daniels didn't do anything in practice either. He should start out on the PR to develop some. Jake Thomas at every position.

Rando mcrandolpohersons' name will only be remembered if he goes else where and becomes an allstar. Almost forgot about the best part of camp, the awards! Best name, Stevie rocker. No first guy gone, because we had a pretty crazy amount of retirements pre- and mid-camp this year. Camp? who needs camp? Oladejo. Made the club from the tub, List is too long and uncertain. But most importantly, the MVP of TC, Taylor Elgersma. And for the first time in a long time, camp MVP has made the team!

Thanks. Yeah, I wish we had hidden Randall on the IR. I think that didn't happen because we are hiding a lot of injuries. I don't think we will see a bunch of room on the IRs to hide a guy for the whole year. Middling teams are really tough on fan bases. And it is hard to jump from mediocre to exceptional. I still see so much potential in the bones of what we have assembled. But slow starts and injuries are the biggest obstacles to succeeding with old teams. We also are soo bought in on this year, looking at what we'd have next year in scary.

Up next is the classic, the first month of the season is an extended pre-season. Seriously though, My expectations for the offence starting the year are looooooooooow. Zach threw what 4 attempts in preseason? I don't think we had any success running the ball till like the 4th quarter of the games with MCI in. Health of Eli, Wilson, and Demski up in the air. And we sure look to be starting 3 NI wrs.

Hed be pretty good, if it was a different era where every team was running 15-20 times at minimum. He can't pass rush and can't handle any coverage assignment.

huge get that dl is gonna be good again for them

He’s a guy we traded up to draft second over all. Hes a guy that was going to be signed as an imp before qualifying as a G. Lots of us were bullish on him, because even as he showed in pre season game 1, he’s got great strength and quickness. He and player where two of the best of a bad bunch, but didn’t get much pt despite brutal play in front of them. Meanwhile counting as a global on the thinnest dl in the league last year makes it pretty clear what would’ve been best. No one said he was guaranteed all star or great league starter. He was better than guys ahead of him but didn’t play. Now he’s gone, and we’ve still got korny and paper thin depth at dl. The young guy group at de are better then we’ve seen in a good while. but none of them are guaranteed to succeed. We have enough guys that 1 should flourish. But we haven’t exactly done a good job of front usage. Other teams go through our dl cuts, which people brush off because no one is an instant all star. But are other teams sifting through our db/wr/rb cuts? even ol doesn’t get looks. Lbers and dl cuts here get second looks in the league. Which means teams look at our usage of talent and say, “we can do more with those guys”

that’s true but I don’t see teams struggling to find good dbs, and our system has a lot to do with it.

we’ve seen more then 100% turn over in scouts from 19/21 to now. even with different scouts we see the same problems. For one, it’s extremely rare that you find a top contributor from scouting at a position of need. Generally, teams excel at developing/scouting/using a couple positions and the majority of their young talent develops at positions of strength. For two, outside of extreme outlier players/positions it’s usually the 2nd year players who take massive steps. This is where roster management kills us. You could have the right guys, but not use them/keep them and each year repeat the same struggles even despite talent brought in. So who’s at fault? well the staffs have mostly rolled over. Mos, walter, and mac are the remaining common pieces. Mos’ weakness exacerbates walter’s issues. mos is 100% at fault, and walters is also 100% at fault. no splitting it. That said, it is walter’s job to mitigate and prevent compound issues like that. I will say that I feel like we’ve seen a bit of growth this year getting away from some of the issues. how much and if it’s enough, will depend on how the rosters look in the first month. I will add that the camp talent level the two years is trending in the wrong direction. And I think danny mac’s’ position is too cushy for how high he is in the org. I think we had a lot of answers at the positions of need this camp. But I think our roster direction is Atypical and risky. 3 ni wrs, 3 imp ol, defensive front etc. The only direction if this doesn’t go well is whole sale change at high level positions. We’ve put together a very strong potential roster. If our old guys stay healthy and if we play the proper young guys.

It looks like the available position player globals are our old friends Maruo, Hansen plus rookies to game play at DL yondjouen and miangue

I very much doubt it. Because that leaves us with 1 global on the AR, and 0 on the PR. This is a position we have not been in since the introduction of the global rule, and would leave us 1 injury away from not being able to complete a roster. Since you get up to 3 global PR spots, which are not counted against the PR, I expect Bailey and Andrews refused the PR. Bailey did dip for a good while in the last pre-season game; he might have gotten hurt and be out a long time as well. Yes, it does. And yeah, it is weird. Im sure we will now have to go through other teams' cuts to find someone for the PR.

I like poncius as a pick up but haven’t seen as much as i’d hoped. wallace is the only one who impressed among the young guys for me. he had a couple really good pass rushes too. But we kept all our imp lbs so we just didn’t have a spot or a path.
