Just counted it up … including Maston, they need to put 6 guys on IR. 52 on the roster right now

I’m thinking McKnight is staying because he’s hurt

This is a very good point that I hadn’t really considered

I’ve heard there’s lots of internal hype about Rutledge Glad it seems like we are trending away from the Janarion in the starting receivers idea. Excited to see Schoen. Wonder who ends up staying between TJ Simmons, the Jackson’s and Tavaris Harrison. Simmons was a guy I was really excited about pre-camp who I haven’t heard much about, Blake/Lucky both seem solid and just stuck behind a deep group and … don’t really know much about Harrison except he can’t handle a little cold but I think it’s great that we seem to have some legit options. I’d personally love to see us move on from a guy like McKnight who has just completely underwhelmed me the entire time he’s been here, but I get he’s also hurt now. Agudosi still in the mix as well and I feel like he’s going to be a problem for defenses if he ever gets in a game.

Very possible, just seems interesting. If we do end up missing on a replacement, Darby will be missed.

I really have to question the decision we made to prioritize (at least it seemed that way) signing Maston over Darby. but at the end of the day, I feel like we’ll find a replacement anyways. Sucks for Mercy, gotta think that’s it for him. Tough break for a guy I was happy to cheer for. Hope Rutledge (or someone else) can fill those shoes.

It was always WHERE are the hashmarks and never HOW are the hashmarks

I am done now that they cut Whop I’m not young anymore, otherwise nailed it

Do me next

Ok but how do you feel about that blown INT in the 2007 Grey Cup?

Whop got cut? Fold the team

I definitely agree

Pretty sure it’s going to be Hallett for BA, Rutledge for Maston and one of Rene/Parker for Rose

They’re gonna have to expand Woli’s role with the new hashmarks or it’s a real waste.

I’m not a big Janarion Grant in the offense supporter, personally. Would rather see us use a guy like Schoen, but I completely understand the concern that it maybe leaves us without a guy who can take the top off a D since between Ellingson, Schoen and Bailey there isn’t really a burner in the bunch. If it were up to me, I honestly just think I’d go four American receivers. We already have seven Canadians at RB, 3 OL, SB, DT and S … wouldn’t mind seeing a unit of Nic/Bailey/Ellingson/Schoen/Whop to start the year. Knowing the Bombers though, there’s almost no way that’s their plan so I’m curious to see how their O looks. If the plan is to use Janarion to stretch the field, I don’t love it.

Why did you write this and then bring up the idea of finding a rookie when someone questioned you on who these veteran QBs are? The CFL is so QB poor right now it’s unbelievable. There are no veteran QB safety nets waiting to be picked up, hell there aren’t any period. Even Streveler, who gets treated like a potential saviour, can’t throw the ball well enough to do anything other than be a change-of-pace look. His value is as a complimentary piece, not a focal point. Ottawa, Edmonton, BC, Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, Calgary, Toronto, Hamilton are literally all going with young backups. Trevor Harris is the only guy who fits this criteria you want and he’s not available. so again … WHO? And don’t babble on about USFL rookies and such.

I don’t know who ends up where but I hope we manage to hang on to Schoen (I assume he starts), Philyor, Blake Jackson, Clements, Rutledge, Thompson (I don’t think he is a week 1 starter, but he’s solid), Parker, Walker, Randall and Berner somehow.

I would’ve cut that guy the minute he dressed in a hoodie for a game in late May

I’d be more surprised if he did

Anything that gets Whop on the team, I’m a fan of

Keep on beating this dead horse

Interesting to see … Rene not going, yet Glass is. Dobson going but not Gray. Mancuso not even going to get a shot. Didn’t we cut Alfred Green

Some obvious cuts for sure but I will say, I was impressed with what I saw from Dru Brown, a few of the receivers, Jordan Berner, Malik Clements, Will Evans and I also noticed Patrice Rene looks MASSIVE out there on the corner and I don’t think his man got targeted once.

Schoen … also want to see a few under the radar guys like Philyor and Hannibal Rutledge seems earmarked to be our SAM so I’ve got some curiosity about him. Mourtada is a big one and then I guess I’d like to see the QB battle.

Behind a paywall but big yikes for Saunders
