“Who may win the ten available roster spots we have available?” isn’t minutiae

It is one of the stupidest points I’ve seen anyone try and make on this forum. I support the team with season tickets, I save my time off all year to be able to make as many games as possible, I buy merchandise, I travel to watch away games. I’m working non-stop at the moment because I’ve got my first kid on the way and my work is busy as hell right now, so forgive me for not prioritizing something that we have paid reporters for.

Yeah, you’re right. If I wanted to do it bad enough, I would. I don’t want to do it bad enough. I want the media to do their job. Are we even having this discussion? Like what stupid point are you even trying to make here?

I actually do work seven days a week but thank you

Ok cool can you pay me my lost wages for the day so I can go do the media’s job for them?

Forgot about the KR spot, but yeah … I don’t even know who’s been fielding kicks in camp so far

The lack of coverage in training camp is truly so frustrating. The human interest stories are great fluff and I can’t blame Ed Tait because that’s what the club wants but come on … Bighill out to start the year and not a peep about any of the new linebackers. Two offensive line spots open and no clue who is out in front of the competiton. A full draft class and no idea how they’re slotting in yet. Is Haba/Fox starting just a closed case already? Does anyone want to talk about it? KJ Hill cut and as per the reporters, he was “a hyped rookie” but absolutely no mention of who may lock that spot down now. It gets worse every year. @DTonOB explain yourself

Worked for Ravi

That Griffin guy was a starter for Calgary last year in five games

Unfortunate. Was for sure the guy I was hoping would grab that spot.

Gotta wonder how pumped Danny Mac is that he spends all off-season scouting talent only to have Jesse Briggs, Shayne Gauthier and Jake Thomas take the bulk of reps

Between Moses, Ayers and Gemmel if there’s not a replacement in there, there needs to be more competition brought in

There’s absolutely zero need for it. We’re not talking about a spot injury, we’re talking about a potentially prolonged absence with the ability to have an open camp competition.

If Bighill gets replaced by Gauthier in our starting lineup, that’s borderline fireable

Bighill is finished. Hopefully.

For sure embarrassing, but it’s pretty clearly his dad - not him

Think they gotta cut 10 counters, so I’m assuming it will be mostly DB/WR

Lemon probably bet the over on “games started by Shawn Lemon in 2024”, that’s why he’s back

Worth putting into context: some of us have been discussing football with eachother for nearly 20 years

I just think it’s weird that you want to start Jake Kelly or Miles Fox because they can “grow into” a role but you don’t want to let Kramdi “grow into” his role and you didn’t want to let Evan Holm “grow into” his role. The messaging is inconsistent and let’s be honest, it’s no different than the major beef you seem to have with O’Shea: he plays favourites. So do you, they just aren’t his favourites. At least admit it 😂

how many years on Earth do I need before I talk like a robot?

Hahaha honestly, with the way we’ve used that spot I’m definitely willing to give Cole a look and see if he pops off the page but Kramdi is nowhere near the biggest problem we have at LB. I’m also pretty confident he’s only going to continue to get better. He did well for what was essentially a very raw player, not coming in with the NCAA pedigree or history and I there’s still a lot left to develop there in my opinion That being said, I wouldn’t be upset with three new LB starters when week 1 hits

I find it very interesting, because lots of people get caught up in our roster management (myself included) but not many people seemed to notice that Kramdi was very much a rotational guy and was subbed out a lot last year. They seem to have a pretty good plan for him and his usage and I’m happy to let them keep rolling with it. He didn’t get handed a job last year, he stole it from a trusted veteran American and he only got better as the year went on.
