He is American. I’d thought they had 22 Canadians on last week?

I think Jones should have replaced Gauthier outright. That would allow Chris Smith to be on the roster. One too many guys right now that don’t offer any value on offence or defence.

I’m not saying he’ll have Clermont numbers, the style is very similar though.

For sure he does, I was saying this earlier this year too. I think Clercius will end up being a key guy here. Jason Clermont-esqe.

That’s a winner

I’m around the same age as your younger son. That was the first year my Dad included me in our season seats (an obsessed fan very early on). I was forced to the cabin that weekend and it was the only game that year I couldn’t go to.

Right? Imagine Walby and Dunnigan chirping at you in the film room after a mistake

For shits and gigs, here’s my ideal Defence lineup when everyone’s healthy. Bonds-Nichols-Holm-Griffen-Ford Cole-Wilson-Parker (Kramdi) Willie-Lawson(Adams)-Woods-Garbutt(Hubert)

Exactly. There’s so many easy fixes there too, that’s what drives me nuts. We’ve been through it a lot but man would Holm to FS alone solve a lot of problems.

If Jones gets canned there could be a fire sale in Edmonton. I’d trade for Achempong or Noah Curtis for sure.

The elite playmaker and the only one teams are afraid to throw at this year is Nichols. I feel like Bonds will be there sooner rather than later. If they replaced BA, and put more of a playmaker at dime we’d have a top 3 secondary, if not the very top.

Unfortunately it’s only a 11 minute condensed video. I’d love to see the full version.

Sam/Dime is more of a DB position. Semantics aside, I think when healthy Parker offers more at the spot. Sound tackling, a little more speed and better coverage skills.

Agree fully. I just don’t think that’s what they’ll actually do. O’Shea clearly loves Kramdi, I think we’re stuck with him for better or worse.

I can remember listening to the game on the radio, I think he hit Alfred Jackson for the record breaker. Still wild to think about how common it was to have games not televised, up until the early 2000s even.

Probably the backup DB for if someone goes down, maybe replaces Griffen, maybe BA. The point is, I don’t think either corner is losing their spot to Parker. That would be ideal imo. FS needs to be replaced before dime

I don’t think Bonds would go anywhere. When Parker comes back he’ll be at a different spot.

Same but I don’t think Kramdi’s going anywhere whether we like it or not. Parker’s a great tackler and in coverage, it’s his durability I’m starting to wonder about. I think he would be another interesting choice to try at FS along with Holm.

The off-white deal they wear on the road reminds me of the 90s Ottawa Rough Riders For sure. Some of those field side throws still look odd to me with the hash change. I keep expecting them to be pick 6s. Used to be almost anything with an slow arc to the wide side was going the other way.

Cole/Wilson/Kramdi would be a small LB group but probably more effective than what we run now. Probably the most realistic option to get Biggie off the field.

Anyone hear anything about when Lawson might be back? He’d make a world of difference. Parker too, he could get BA out of a starting role, either directly or indirectly.

Rod Black will tell his great-grandchildren about that hackey sack celly.

Yeah, that was Mitchell. He still sucks.
