Yeah I'm not sure what's going to happen in the secondary. Can Kelly back up Ford at corner? With the way the roster is constructed it kinda looks like we might start 4 American DBs and Ford plays the dimeback role.

Wilson at MLB and Ayers at WLB would be nice.

When you start 43 Canadians, you don’t need Canadian backups.

No big shockers to me with the cuts, pretty much what I figured I'd see this morning. If you're surprised by anyone getting axed, just know they didn't dazzle in the film room or had the professionalism of a sloth on a coffee break. Everything else is just guessing and conjecture based on a few preseason snapshots.

Yeah there would be a shuffle depending on where you need coverage.  Holm can play corner, Kramdi can play SAM, safety, even HB in a pinch, Kelly can play anywhere, Hallett can play anywhere....talking about if you have in game injuries that force that scramble.

Nichols also took a ton of safety reps in camp so could be he is there and Bonds at corner, Bridges at half.

I do appreciate the versatility of some of these guys. I even think you could probably throw Cole at safety.

With 3 established Natl. positions on defence they have a ton of roster flexibility to shuffle around.

My thoughts upon reflection:

Karamoko makes the active roster out of TC for the first time in 3 years, man that guy has put in some work

Patrick Rogers was apparently good enough to stick around for all 3 weeks of camp but not good enough to dress in a preseason game, Patrick Rogers we hardly knew ye

Rosery and McCarthy being cut are both disappointing to me (I think McCarthy can go back to school though)

I feel like Ayers and Adams both made the team based on their performances in the preseason games - good example of seizing the few opportunities that were out there

Lofton better be looking over his shoulder at the 3 big American hogs on the PR waiting to take his spot

Chris Smith must be pretty damn injured because that cut is totally baffling

Someone on the Bombers staff loves Myron Mitchell

Let's find a punter to put on the PR, shall we?

Wheatfall and Josh Johnson lurking nearby on the PR.  O. Wilson probably starts game #1, not sure what Mitchell will be doing, maybe catching punts.

Hallett can’t play anywhere any more than Jake Thomas can. He can play S, or be a severe coverage liability.

Offense is big concern to me.  If Oliviera isn't ready to go could get really messy.

If Brady isn’t close to 100% our run game is screwed.

we do have a decent bit of flexibility through out the D. Guys who can play inside or out on the line, multiple guys who can play nose, db who can mostly slide around. 
 IMO Cole’s best position would be S. 

I think vanterpool only played guard here. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a revolving door of imp ol on the pr for a while.

Rogers was sitting out injured when I went to practice last week.

Booch seemingly not upset with the cuts + Mason Bennett hopefully on the way has me breathing a sigh of relief. I don't know enough to know enough but am intrigued to see week 1 depth chart ...

Maybe he meant Mason Fine. 😁😁

If I was the Bombers I'd have Alford or Worthy on speed dial to do returns (especially if they are willing to come cheap). 

Alford was cut?

I’ve wondered if we were going to call Worthy. We have the cash to make a move with Lawson out for the year.

Lawson is done for the year?
