He's listed on the Bombers' roster. 

Ah, I had them sorted as Nationals/Ints...  JFG appears to have had his citizenship revoked.

You want to get rid of our best NI receiver? Who do you start in that spot?

We don't even need to start a NI receiver, is what I am saying.

So who are your 7 then? Neufeld, Gossen, Chung, Westerman, Shologon, Harris and ? Do you want to start Bucknor? Hurl? Or some random unproven NI?

I'd be ok with starting Bucknor on wide side. But it's a question of who gives you more value when their on the bench, Kholert or Bucknor....An american playing Wide side corner, or an american playing wideside rec. For me, I'd like a bigger body at wide side receiver. So that means bucknor starting, but will that reduce the talent on Defence more than what is gained on Offence? 

There's lots to consider this year.

TBD, but my money would be on the safety position.

Hmm JFG not on bombers roster list... prob just mistake.  but not sure that Bastien or Richards don't replace him...  I'd like to see him move to fullback, still big enough to block.

Idk what happened to JFG. he went from a monster catching every thing to houdini. Maybe we could move him to RB to add to our NI rb depth

I definitely think that we will again start 8 Nat'l this year. We did it last year when our Nat'l depth is still in question. Now our Canadian content is deeper I dont think there's no reason we wont do it again and gives us flexibility ratio-wise during gameday. 

3 OL - 1 RB - 1 WR - 2 DL - 1 in secondary (either a S or a CB)

But why...

I can see getting Waggoner or Jones some reps at Safety in case one of our OL goes down but we should be able to find better CB or REC...

Let's just start 7 solid Nationals and insure there is sufficient depth to plug and play when injuries require it. The last thing you need is an injury that then requires a shifting of 2 or 3 players to different positions. That just hampers continuity and creates confusion on the field.

JFG did not see the field much in the second half of the season as Moore did not miss as many games as people think.  I like hardscrabble Canadian receivers and wish teams could look beyond "measurables" and more at "effectability".  Imagine what kind of career Rick House would have if he showed up at TC today.  Sad.

remember the 2 DI position is burned by the special teams already... Medlock and the KR

thats true but we could end up starting an extra NI. most fans dont want to but it could well happen.

That's assuming we use a specialty player as our kick returner. It could just as easily be someone like Veltung who starts at receiver for us.

Have a feeling McDuffie starts the season as KR...  maybe boundary REC too

that looks bloody solid.

Except, by my count, there are only 7 national starters.  O'Shea will start 8.  If he did it when national talent was thin, he's sure not going to stop doing now.

We have 3 IMP Lbers that will start if healthy, thats the difference.

Depends on how many internationals are dressed for a game. If there are 19 then there are 3 DIs.

I thought they increased the number of DIs last year...

Would be a shame not to have Burnett as a DI, really liked him on ST

He's also a good LB, sure hope they can keep him around.
