Edmonton will be a tough out until they let their QB's throw.

Dey took our 3rd QB reps! With 13 minutes of possession this quarter.

Kornelson and Thomas stuff it up. Thomas getting the most reps.

A stairwell with a undersized fitted cap.

Nice punt by 73. Wonder if they've thought about Jackson as a OL too. Backup OL/tight end/DL/long snapper.

I like him as a rush end/backer in a 30 front. Don't think I'd do much else with him on D. He's a little too slow in the open.

In general I would say our LB's look like they are doing way too much thinking and not enough reacting/playing through their assignments. They are trying to figure out what the assignment is.

Maruo and Cole really ate **** on that fake jet QB dive.

Thomas some big plays on the interior so far. No one else really standing out on the line.

Beckett and Bennett getting chewed up here by QB run

The only thing you can do to make Ford viable is to over pursue him. So let's try out best to not do that!

And injuries. Even high school now we're about 1/3 practices in pads...but a lot of guys have never played before. They aren't getting much contact until they are out there for real. OK DL Coach...teach the guys about offside.

Imagine if hockey players only wore skates on gamedays. I think the pendulum will need to swing a bit back to more contact in practices even if it's not always full speed.

Augustine is a fine place holder and special teamer, but we 100% need an import on the practice roster ready to go if needed.

Parker and Holm are great looking CFL DB's. Can turn up the aggression and come down hill at ballcarriers, great ball skills, both can return kicks too. I don't see anyway that these two guys don't make the team, even if it means one of Rose or Lawrence are cut. Kelly noticeable in contain on punt cover, bet he's on the roster day 1 too. I'm hoping for a little more juice out of Brian Cole if he's there when he gets out there at WIL.

You'd like to see them not consistently driven out and downfield though. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other backers...maybe some of them won't hang out at 5 yard depth waiting for the ball each down unless they are blitzing. I expected a lot more physicality and sideline to sideline type play from Wade.

Staton is smooth.

Not a huge fan of either of these linebackers so far. Not much pursuit and flow to the ball. If play is in their gap they might make it.

Turning and running parallel to the line of scrimmage is never a good idea for a running back. Backers on their heels so far.

He better make some plays at DB.

PI

Nice surge on 3rd and 2.

Short yardage crew.

Ford's got no arm.

I'm fine with Augustine as a backup on gameday...but we shouldn't ever start a game with him as our main back. Just very little burst, no burst, compounded by the hesitation.
