When’s the last time we had a player like that though? Or the last team with a strong culture that did? On the other hand the toxic teams have had lots of those guys. Guys acting a fool is 100% a part of team culture.

Except like I said you benefit as much from having those guys around the team as ahead of young guys, and that is a normal Stage in turn over. Plus defensive players translate to the cfl quickly. You are always either working on getting guys more experience or getting younger. That’s pro sports.

Nope not at all. Role vs position. He started about half the season too. Parker did that before and not since. Happens frequently at db in the cfl.

That’s an interesting point. I think having the guys like biggie and ba around even if they don’t play the rookies should be up to speed.

That change doesn’t have to do with Mac though. That change is on its own.

Idk how it’s surprising that the same people who booed James wilder for getting 5 yards on 2nd and 10 then flexing do the same to Mitchell doing the exact same kind of thing. That type of action isn’t a strong fit in a good culture.

Yeah, he’s likely the most athletic guy on the team. His 4.7 40 is probably faster than a couple of our wrs/dbs. Yeah seems likely. But we will see what the week 1 roster brings. I think it’ll be bridges.

I think he’s exactly the type of S we need. If he takes a bit of a step forward like he’s shown I think he will be a starter and our best ni S in a very long time. some moves will be made at dt for sure. No way we dress 6 dts with 3 imps. At minimum I see one imp and one ni dt not playing. If Jake isn’t healthy or close to 100% I think he will go 1 game ir. Other wise I think Samson will find his way to the pr. For the imps fox and Adams are who I want. With Adams upside he’d be my top priority to keep in the Line up. Fox is more established here but I don’t think woods is far behind.

McGhee is a prime candidate for that. Jake is toast and will show how quickly we progress and have progressed from the boys club. biggie, ba, Kyrie are guys on the verge of being in Jake’s tier. Guys who have a role but shouldn’t start include gauthier Kramdi and schmekel.

I look forward to seeing what shmek and kelly do with regular reps. Jake Thomas is the canary in the mine this year. Hopefully he’s not the new mos guy.

Evaluating wrs in those games is just impossible. I’m sure that 5th spot is 90% based on tc play. That’s actually one position I’d be fine with flipping to ni. We don’t have two balls to share with all these weapons on O. Another blocker while woli plays slot would be good.

I wonder if that ever bites us in the ass. If I was one of those players or their agent I’d be pissed. That’s true but man we are poised to do exactly that. And it’s like mos kryptonite.

Maybe. There are but guys who haven’t gotten much for reps over guys who have been terrible. I like bonds as a player think he’s got a ton of upside. I don’t think many guys are quick easy plug n play punt returners.

As far as the cuts I think we did about what was expected. Rosery is the sorest point. It also seems like a lot of guys are nursing injuries I think like has been pointed out guys will be back if they get healthy and the spot is still open. The depth chart is very concerning though. We gotta flip some of those old dogs and can’t start 10+ Canadians. 9 is too many. The primary way we move on from vets shouldn’t be they physically can’t lace em up any more. We’ve got to move on before guys are toast. I’d love it if BA can return to his classic form. That’s the best case scenario. I’m fine with giving guys a chance to come back from injury like that. Like we did with mo back in the day. Kyrie is on the edge of that with ba imo. Biggie too. If he’s properly healthy again with the imp dl in front of him and some better play call he would be fine. Gotta be his last year though. Jake is firmly in the other side of that rainbow. Maybe he’s just a fiery competitor like sheed maybe that’s what they see. I can’t understand it other wise. Kr, for a spot we targeted in the off season is screwed though. We need to be grabbing a vet. I am optimistic about that. Look forward to seeing how his D plays out.

🤢 If that’s our starting roster for game 1, then we deserve a loss. Imagine if ba isn’t able to go (doubt he will be ready) and we start 11 Canadians lmao We seldom pick up cuts and plug them in. But we do dive through the rummage bin like every other team. No one does it particularly well though imo. He wasn’t terrible by any means. But jumping up and chirping guys after 1 yard gains isn’t fifo it’s jones/dickenson

Cutting Rosery after he did every thing we could ask of him makes no sense. It makes even less sense to have wasted soo many reps and snaps on a guy who if he did what we wanted we still wouldn’t keep around. They could’ve used mci in those snaps. Hopefully it’s just some roster shuffle stuff and he’s brought back already for the pr. I wouldn’t have cut Murphy but I would’ve kept rosery over Murphy.

Even our online roster management is shaky lol

Hallett can’t play anywhere any more than Jake Thomas can. He can play S, or be a severe coverage liability. If Brady isn’t close to 100% our run game is screwed. we do have a decent bit of flexibility through out the D. Guys who can play inside or out on the line, multiple guys who can play nose, db who can mostly slide around. IMO Cole’s best position would be S. I think vanterpool only played guard here. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a revolving door of imp ol on the pr for a while.

Hands down better unless biggie is 100% honestly we are much better with gauthier at mac and the imp dts than any of the imp lbers and jake playing a lot of snaps.

My overly optimistic game day roster for D is habba/garbutt Adams fox wj with woods scratched Thomas to ir and the two Canadians backing up at dt kyrie/ayers gemmel Cole Canadians tanner max and Shayne back up Bridges nichols Kelly holm ford back ups bond kramdi hallett I’m kind of sick that mcghee made the ar. I suspect he will start but if he does teams are gonna go at him hard

All the backers showed well imo. I think the reason Ayer’s made the cut over the rest is he looked good on teams too. I’m sure more moves are coming to set up the week 1 roster. Not excited about our kr situation. The biggest cut I don’t like is rosery. Couple others really don’t make sense either.

Always last to announce the final cuts and rosters

You need some lowered expectations. Probably going to be about 17 people if we win.

We often seem to start out with the right guys to fill holes on the wrong end of the roster. we have no excuse for not having a dominant front in week 1. we could probably make 2 damn good starting front 6 line ups with the guys we have. Mcghee cutshank and a few others should’ve been sent packing before the game was over. If any thing, I’d rather vets go super easy in tc and play pre season. Not the other way around.

Could be that. Generally you’d think if he kept his weight on and hadn’t gotten fat he’d be reasonably close but needing cardio. Maybe he got chunky though. These days those types of moderately to reasonably successful players don’t work out up here.
