Booch

he did look good...always has had some best hands on the team and is definitely one of the top 5 guys on the squad...Hopefully Condel actually knows how to utilize him better. Why he got bypassed by Corcorran last yr was odd, and did nothing to better the team....but that was last yr...hopefully this yr is different I do like tho what I have seen with MCI's use, and figure he may have a actual role in the offence this yr...If we can get that guy rolling there is a lot of big play potential there, and he has worked on his craft during the off-season...looks like a different back when running the ball this yr, and has a pretty good pair of hands too

I wouldnt say locked up....White..Wilson...Demski sure....Neild and Clercius will be more than adequate as a Canadian duo (Starter and main backup/rotation guy)....after that if suggesting starting an inferior Canadian whomever that may be, as locked up then we in a world of trouble, and why even have brought in any imports?..We really...really needed either a big bodied athlete who can win one on ones with athleticism, or just pure fight, or a real dynamic speedster with fast twitch abilities, who can take the lid off a defense and be a threat from anywhere, and we failed in doing that so far. None of the camp bodies currently vying for a WR spot really have any of that...or have yet to show the ability for it. Maybe when lights are on in a pre-season game someone shows up and does it....but what I have seen I wouldnt hold my breath on that, and have a sickening feeling that come game 1 we are trotting out Corcorran as receiver number 5....and that would be an epic failure

Yeah....some things changed it seems, but its looking more and more like a lot of same ol same old is gonna occur, tho still early and things can change but i dont see it changing This insistence on starting more than needed Canadians when clearly they are not the best players we could field makes little sense, it doesn't make us a stronger team, and it also weakens the overall depth to accommodate it. Even if we start 3 imports on the oline, we have zero reason to have to go 3 Canadian WR when we will likely have 2 spots on defense that are Canadian spots (DT and Safety) and with guys like Smith/Shay who should be taking defensive reps, along with Gatkouth and Bailey who can go in for a Canadian we have more than enough ways to put 2 on the field any given snap if we declare 5 Canadians on offence and 2 on defense....plus we also can actually utilize the Nationalized player...whomever that may be to eat up some reps. Heck if we felt good enough trotting out Hallett and Kelly all the time...even when we already had enough Canadians on the field and watch them get burned and abused basically every snap they took...I sure we can put Smith and Shay out there...guys with serious upside and skill. Watching a few days of practice and seeing the imports we brought to main camp....it's butt ugly awful recruiting and not sure what we were looking at our coveting...as they all are less than adequate. Demski and Neild/Clercius are fine as the 3 main Canadians...and Cobb be the best "backup" as he serves a multi use role. The other Canadians in no way should be taking regular reps let alone starting a 3rd one. I not including Daniels as he gonna be a role guy and not expected to carry a heavy load and will allow us to not have to dress 7 olineman and will serve a useful purpose My major concern with re-upping Osh was just what we are seeing and this insistence to go overboard forcing this use lesser Canadians as a thing, for no real reason other than his bias for it...or whatever it is....but it's not our best roster when he does it. Thankfully he has seen the light...or he was instructed to play the best player possible at SAM and push Kramdi to safety, I tend to think this was mandated by Walter's and replacing Kramdi if he should get hurt with Kelly..Hallett..Ball...heck even Smith is a 1 player for 1 player swap and less disruptive to the defese when its Griffin or Woodbey manning this spot

I think it depends on how our de situation plays out and who..what we roster...as from what I saw yesterday they are again using him a lot off the edge i some defensive fronts. So hard to say how they decide the DI situation For sure we have Castillo as one...and likely a DB/lb hybrid guy. Now do we use a spot on a versatile end to compliment WJ...if we feel Bailey and the draft pick are sufficient..Ceresnas ability to go off edge..and also Woodby was successful there we may use it on another DT...or able to keep all the import backers rostered..and the way JY likes multi purpose guys I can see that. I'm worri2d about reciever cause after our top 4 guys...we have not much else really.. and if we choose to go 3 Canadian like Tait seems to think even worse..as none of rhe imports really jump out yet...they are more useful than Corcoran and Dersosier. Cobb would be decent as he gives returner depth and I think if used right..and Condell being here he prob will use him right..so there some upside there with him as reciever 5..and can run jet...the 2 others tho...Norway u wantbthem running that

Yeah....Dixon and Jenkins look to be front runners but nobody is really separating themselves from the pack. Bailey needs to be played, you can just see he has multi tool talent and a motor that just goes...he was 100 percent all day today...and thats par for the course. One interesting guy I noticed and like is that Michael Fletcher...think he a bit knicked with a thigh issue but powered thru it. Even at less than 100 percent he just moves and reacts real well for a big dude and could see him useful off the edge and inside...For me he was one the guys that first popped out for me and he has a interesting skill set and a long but sturdy body. I could see him opening eyes in the pre-season games What also popped out for me right away...and this isnt good...Save for White..Pokey..Demski..Neild..Clercius we have a real buttload of crap and WR currently. And if we are going to go 3 nationals...god help us...pray for ZC cause it will be ugly. Some of the first unit work today...With Demski and Pokey missing mind you had combos of Corcorran...Cobb...that Fredricksen (who has zero explosion and can barely get separation for a big guy and no speed) and I think the rookie Derosier??....puuuuke....Other than Cobb the other 3 are not pro receiver quality and do absolute nothing with the ball once they get it....Keshaun Smith, and TJ Harris look like once acclimated could be quite useful, and possibly singer...But the rest see ya later..if somebody doesnt step up...or if we break camp with some injury issues....we have worst unit in league easily....again And if being honest after Demski....Clercius and Neild the next best guy, and one who looks to have best upside is that Joshua Jack...Daniels cant be and shouldn't be expected to do much other than big packages and goaline area stuff where he just needs to chip block and seperate from the line and just win a jump ball or take a quick hot pass and head north Yeah...Griffin is or should be the SAM...Dude can ball...he's athletic enough to cover top receivers in man and he's built to punish in the run game...plus he is very assignment sound. Kramdi at safety and kind qb'ng from there if he as smart as they claim is the best use of him. Allen not sure if they see him as the corner...or the swiss army guy rotating in with 2 safety sets and dime work. Major Williams and Burrel stood out to me at DB...I think they are 1/2 right now for the vacant spot forgot to mention...That Mazzccua I can see PR'd...Dude is just a beast...and a thug...he would be a bone jarring mauler of a guard...I liked watching him A side of the oline with Eli..him and Broxton woukd be a RB's wet dream with paved roadwork all day long

Yeah watching some the one on one drills today u definitely see his power when he locked into his guy...guys a beast. And he is noticeably more agile Big Stan looked good..as Usual...hard to imagine he pushing 40...If he is even 80 percent of prime Stan him and Broxton gonna be a force

Major Williams with a nice read and jumped route for a int...him and Burrell of the new guys to me look the best and most likely vying for that open spot as front runners...for now

Wallace has definitely morphed his body...moves way better. Its his job to lose in my opinion..looks way smoother than last yr I like they have Tui on the hands team for onside kicks ...lol...u would think Daniels be out there but not on this first unit

We were able last yr to roster Griffin.. wooodbey and Ayers all together so hopefully we can continue..they are our 3 most versatile guys outside of dline...and yeah curious how Allen is used..or where

Best place for him really...He can come down in support and be over the top help....and survey the defence...At SAM he is not ideal and was horrible in coverage and isnt the best tackler....he's good in the scrum and crashing into the box...but that can be incorporated from a safety role...especially when we tend to run a strong and free safety kinda set up You want one your best all around guys, Guys who can cover 1 on 1 and are strong tacklers and can get off blocks....Kramdi ain't that

Starting 3 canadian receivers is just plain dumb....especially if not needed...Even with 3 import olineman not needed. Would make us a way weaker offene as that 3rd giy would just be a position taker and no real threat. Even 3 import oline guys is kinda dumb if it doesnt make us significantly better, as it just denies our defence an import where it would have a way bigger impact If you declare 2 on defence...and 5 on offence for Canadians, as well as use the Nationlized american we can sub pretty freely regardless, so the extra 2 starting Canadians is pointless...especially if they are not the best players available....and in all honesty they won't be...experienced or not...they wont I hope and think we really are looking to put Kramdi at safety...if not full time...a lot as that makes sense as well as he is probably talent and impact wise our 4th best option there...3rd at best...and dont care that he is super smart and knows all the positions....slap him at safety then so he can oversee what we are lined up in and shout out corrections if his smartness see's an alignment error Thats one my main issues with Osh and hoped it was gonna change....the need in his mind to use extra Canadians even though they not the best....

Thanks good sir...Was gonna be in the area so figured on taking some camp in if there was practice

Is there practice on Friday?...anyone know....

Taylor...Maston and how utilized BA turned it all around and morphed the defense into the juggernaut...thtat's where the season turned and was pre ZC ZC came in and got the rust knocked off in the last game and the WSF...and then managed the Grey Cup perfectly

was more his calm vet savviness and experience more than anything...to actually manage the game....he didn't light it up really at all...he just didn't eff it up with poor choices...Harris and Strev were key in CGY....And in the Cup too really besides the fact our defense owned them and basically killed their will to even play. The second cup win tho he had some key vintage ZC drives/moments to help pull that one out will give him flowers there, but again wasnt a game of the centuries performance....but a nicely managed game...that being said save for that bone headed HAM gaff giving up the single we would have lost thatgame as the defence wilted in that last drive
