Jones might just welcome Staton to Edmonton if we cut him.

I would imagine they have someone that isn't this horrible horrible kicker they brought to this game?

[BaconNBigBlue]

Not sure what the debate is on the field.  The no yards was the first penalty and the objectionable conduct was after it was Winnipeg's ball.

Might of been preseason but a win is always enjoyable, some players are going to get a ticket out of town but a few opened some eyes, Thomas on the D played real well.

To me, there are some very easy cuts you could make after this game

QB Jones, WR Beaulieu, WR Westfield, DL Agnew, DB Cole, DL Kornelson all stand out for the wrong reasons

Hard as hell to judge all those receivers given that we basically ran our starters for most of a half (with Brown too) and then didn't have the ball for the next half.  Maybe 1-2 of them are ongoing prospects but there's no roster space for receivers anyway.  As it is if everyone is healthy we probably can roster one of Agudosi, Grant, McCrae.  Not a lot of opportunity to get on the team for rookie receivers.

I like Murphy too which probably squeezes out another import off the practice roster.  He was probably the best receiver after the starters went out.

I know it's preseason but I thought Jefferson was underwhelming last year, and looked much the same today. I wonder if we are getting close to needing to move on. Hope I am wrong and he lights it up this year.

Hard as hell to judge but those two had an ugly ugly drop each

Agree but would give homeboy Kornelson another shot.

If he is number 96 I wouldn't...outmatched all around and was basically useless

Sterling and Swarmay are ones I forgot to mention who I hope stick...would like to see Sterling get some reps with #1's against the riders...

Same with the 2 import RB's if BO isnt available....and mix Augudosi in with #1s as well..

It’s starting to get annoying that the feed the booth crew is using is like 2 seconds behind ours 

Yup. The announcers couldn’t name more than 4 bombers all game. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Was Salima the only import back that played?

[Booch]

Barnes too

[JuranBoldenRules]

Somebody has to grab that WIL backer spot by the balls next week.

Really unimpressed with Clements and Cole overall.  We can't just rush the WIL every down.

[Rod Black]

Surprising how well that Edmonton post game traffic moves.

That would be Schmekel, Sterling looks like a Willy prototype bodywise.

Maybe a dumb question, Whats the status on Biggie?

Nobody knows. Booch says he's working out fully at the gym but has not practiced even a single rep yet. We shall see....

I hope Eli i a healthy and can slide in too. I’d love to see what an ol with Eli at c, Dobson at guard, gray at one tackle spot and Richmond at another could do. Though I doubt gray will take more reps next week. 
 

It’d be great to see pigs and brown each get a half. Maybe switching off at the quarter so each gets one with team 2 and team 3+.

Barnes too

I think they combined for like 4 touches but yeah both saw a bit of action. Barnes got bulldozed in the back field twice. Once by like 5 elk.

I think I recall hearing he has university eligibility and it’s likely that was the plan for him all along. 

[Jesse]

So why wasn't Eli there?

Has he been injured too? Seems like a guy who'd need the reps if possible.

Yep. He’s been banged I think couple days before the game.
