Yeah, I don't get it... basically Willie sits because Longo is in - going with JFG and Kohlert again...
Starting Shell at Safety instead of Sherman or Jones seems strange to me as well
Longo slides in relatively cleanly, just needed a roster spot, no ratio issue. Just means that both of the scratches to get to 44 will be imports, likely Kearney and Johnson. Veltung is knocking Willie off.
Sherman can't cover well enough to take a regular spot in the secondary, Jones is a corner, not a safety. If anything I'd use Simmons at safety a bit. Shell has lost many steps.
Leggett is a cornerback too, what's your point.
Sherman and Jones are probably the fastest guys on our roster... I'll take a safety with closing speed over Lin-J Shell - if anything he should backup at SAM
Veltung and Johnson probably sit... still drives me nuts that Rempel, Cronk AND Pontbriand take up spots on this roster
Has Leggett ever played corner in the CFL? He's been a safety/outside linebacker since day 1 up here. My point is that you can't just plug a guy into a significantly different position he's never even practiced in and expect him to succeed. It's not a video game.
You're really shocked that there are players in the bottom third of our roster who are on it to play special teams? Welcome to the CFL.
I'm shocked that our bottom three are a downgrade from west, labbe and cvet
