never said that....will be 1 gamed...or somehow kept, as there are ways to do it and like I said if Perkins shows he's legit I can see Wilson as odd man out That being said tho..this boner people have of having a Canadian QB is really dumb....If they are not in the top 3 on your club, and dont show promise...or a real long term hope of promise...why keep them around?...that goes for any player on any squad , not just Egersma He may pan out and be Rourke 2.0 or better, or may turn out to be another Jason Boltus.....or some middling run of mill QB who may win you a game here or there but not be elite....and for the latter 2 scenarios, why attached your wagon to mediocrity just cause he's Canadian?...There is no point in that That being said I pulling for him and hope he pans out...Not because he's Canadian but because I like the skill-set he apparently has, and his size. But I not expecting much from him this yr, and even next yet, but maybe we drafted a Golden Goose....time will tell

I would be shocked if the 3 aren't ZC...Wilson and Perkins....as can we really go into the season with ZC and a CIS rookie and a American ..yes with experience but none in the CFL? That sure be leaving yer arse exposed. Now if Perkins comes in and shows that yes...he can run a CFL offence and looked good doing so, Mayybeee we go ZC...Perkins and Elgersma if Wilson totally craps the bed....But I know we really like Perkins and have been tracking him a while...and really him and Wilson are basically same age and if one is gonna be the future, or even the now if something was to happen god forbid...and Perkins shows he's a legit talent...Then I think Wilson is gonzo...He has to have a amazing brilliant camp and take 2 steps forward from last yr. But Perkins can make more happen withhis legs as he's cutting his teeth and in the grand scheme..I think offers more if he shows anything

yeah...I sure be a non-issue running the short yardage packages.

Throws a good ball and mechanically sound with the lower body pivot now thats become the norm...Look forward to see what he has and if he can grasp the nuances of the Canadian gae quickly and trust his eyes with the extra man lurking around...which is generally the demise of many newbies....cant process that properly Thing with him is he is not a rookie with just College experience...so feeling some optimism here, and working with Strev and I sure they going over CFL stuff...I bet he shows up ready to roll

Can't see MLB affecting gate other than in toronto and even then its a big whip as ..well its toronto And again its no real different with the seasons coinciding anyway and with only one city having a team who cares really And like said any change can always go back to what it was if its a major flop or causes major backlash...league is trying to find and be accessible to newer fans and demographics so what is old and accustomed to by lifelong fans is irrelevant to anyone new...or newish. If old school fans sqwuak and whine and revolt..screw em...obviously not that big of fans then. Times are a changing and you either change with it..or try to evolve to it in some regard or you whither away and die

Some the bottom dwellers tho now will have a possible thing to play for as opposed to before late in season when they were long out of it....seeding and a possible home playoff game....gaining them some extra revenue they wouldn't have got before, and in the end of the day it's about making money, and any extra games a team gets...will make them money Same with top team in each division...possibly the 2 teams have similar records and will want to be playing to win right thru game 18 to be top seed in league and get that home field advantage throughout the playoffs...Imagine the money we here could make by hosting 2 home playoff games?...any team for that matter As for attendance....teams generally rely and budget based on season ticket sales for most part, and whether its game 1...game 7...game 18 that revenue is already in their pocket so if fans in some instances tend to stay away late in the season (which happens already anyway) it's a moot point...and in a lot of instances walk up crowds shrink a bit due to weather not as appealing so possibly the earlier start alleviates part of that....guess we have to wait and see. Now would this work better with a 10th team...for sure...is it such a bad thing without...only of one chooses to just look and the con's and ignore the pro's. Players get more earning power...teams have ability to make extra revenue that would have never happened before, and league pulls on more sponsorship/advertisement dollars from the extra games....The CFL has been stagnate for decades with what and how they did things, and changes were needed, and some are occurring and need to be done...I sure we wont like them all, and some will love....but this decision too was voted on and approved by all involved...not just force fed by the Commish and his personal agenda. More football in my opinion is a good thing....and sure be a bonus if you were in first all yr....Had QB 1 go down early in the WF/EF and u had to use an unprepared and unplanned backup and lose due to that and be out on your ass, but get a week to prep and prepare with backup and get a second legit chance to get to the Cup

should bode well and become one of Osh's fav's as thats exactly what Osh was on the field haha...actually he was a dirty assbag but hid the dirty part pretty well from Joe Average fan...but IYKYK and actually looked for it....But if this kid can bring it...and is used as more than just a glorified OL end...I can't wait to watch him evolve and add an element to our offence we sorely needed yup...I hope the addition of him actually drives us to utilize and develop him...and in effect will be a huge bonus for MCI as it would get him doing the same...I gig assed guy to dominate in close in one on one matchups with a huge advantage...and another physical freak over 220 pounds who is also one of the fastest guys on our team...within the 5 yard line and the ability to have BO...MCI and Dante's Peak all on the field together...how can you not be stopped?...Especially with Hogan no longer calling then shots

yeah I was gonna ad that is one of the most likely ways for injuries to happen, and some of the season ending types too....Thanks for adding that!

I hoping with Condell he has some sway to get that versatile DI that can be used on offence and return...And if Vval lands a CB spot and does dual duty it be nice to be able to give him a breather here and there The Bailey and Nuer combo...Both being non counters for a DI spot is gonna be huge and give us something we havnt had in a while...A pure speed guy off the edge in Nuer and a guy in Bailey who is flying under most peoples radar who can speed rush and bull rush even though he isnt a bigger end....plus he has shown he is a disciplined looking run stopper guy...It be a shame if both were not on the roster, but it's a high probability they will be...and lets hope JY gets free range in how and who he gets to use in rotations...A front in some sets with Ceresna...WJ...Bailey and Nuer...of who all can be off the edge would give olines fits With the guys we are returning....who we drafted and a couple interesting new signings...I can see JY having a real high octane defense this yr, and if we roster it correctly a large amount of the guys who arent "starters" per say being able to freely rotate in with no drop in play and keep us fresh all game long

I think they see Taylor as a kr guy..and if we have the ability to dress him as one our designated imports he could be a nice change of pace on offence too..or in 2 back sets with BO With the end we drafted...and what i expect to see more a role with Smith and Shay and less a need for an extra import LB and rotational end...especialy with Bailey too can see it being very feasable to have a guy like that as a returner/rb option. That and or another stud legit inside DT type guy. We have Woodbey..JSK..Ayers..Wilson..T.Jone..Griffin..and a couple real intruiging import rookies coming into camp..we have a glut of will and Mac guys..as well as Kramdi.. Smith and Shay...so a real logjam of guys at Will Mack and Sam and in all honesty Woodbey..Griffin..Smith..and Ayers could all handle the sam role just fine too and bump Kramdi to safety...interesting how we deal with them and who gets bumped off roster...or how we gonna configure the roster...based on the sets we ran last yr and our favoring depth guys for teams I could see all being on roster especially with 3 of the mentioned being Canadian. And the fact that Griffin..Woodbey..Ayers..JSK..Smith and Kramdi can play multiple spots at a starter level...makes it even more likely.

ITis always the GM's show on draft day....also genral recruitment and off-season signings...But like u mentioned there was input from all involved in that clip but also there was a lot more input pre and during actuial draft nobody saw...Osh said zip in that clip...But had a lot to say not on camera

Teams cant feasibly sit more than 2...3 starters as it is financially, especially a team who has had a pile of injuries during the season that didnt land a big number of guys on full 6 game IR....I think this fear of seeing a pre-season lineup is a bit overblown actually

as a former player...I have never seen or know of a player playing to not win...and the ones who loafed cause a game apparently meant nothing, or half arsed it didnt hang around long. nobody likes to lose even of it's a meaningless game....or even pre-season, as for attendance....season ticket sales are what they are and 1st game...last game...its the same net revenue...as for walk ups....more fan friendly weather for the last few games of the yr, may actually have more people in the stands...as it is and has been...a lot of late season games that had meaning in a lot of places were not attended as well, soley based on weather....And to have the Grey Cup earlier and more than likely avoiding for most part sub -15 or worse temps....who's opposed to that?

yeah for seeding reasons some those late season games that before were just splaying out the string may actually have consequence now and real meaning for who they could play...and if they could host a game. Pro's and cons to it...but more football being played is never a bad thing....and nothing worse than to have a dominant team a wrap up the division, only to drop a deuce for whatever reason and be bounced out in a one and done And even tho was always a bonus to get that wf/ef game...and good if it's your team....never really liked the win 1 game and your in idea.....now teams gotta earn it....and more revenue for league...teams and filtered down to players is never a bad thing

Even before the NFL draft CFL teams know which guys are likely to get drafted by NFL teams or who has garnered serious interest and may get a UDFA contract....if your scouting crew and GM are connected they know....mini camp invites for a good majority of NCAA kids is usually a given as well, but for most part those never amount to anything other than a delayed arrival in camp here at worst Teams can also be given an extra pick in the following draft if they drafted a player who subsequently got drafted and signed a deal with guaranteed money as they are likely never to show up here....or may be a 2..3 yr delay...of we move our draft to before the NFL's
