The new Stamps uniforms really are awful. Weird number font. “CGY” plastered all over. Mono colour PJ look.

Spring football isn't a popular spectator sport on either side of the border.

Really do think he's one of the best scouts in the league though.
Not a coincidence win cups with him, then our American talent has fallen off a cliff

I'd toss them both out just for the stand alone reason of this bullshit with the refusal to use an American as a Canadian even though we're allowed to. It's borderline negligent and I know that's not going to sit well with some people but there's a reason we are the only one of nine teams that doesn't use it.

Yeah, absolutely agree. In case it wasn't clear to anyone, I wasn't suggesting we can them. I was just saying that IF we were to do it, I'd see no reason for it not to be both. That call is far away from being made at this point in the season though.

No yards?
Stuart was in there as well. Really like both those guys on ST.

Would HE notice?
Is it too revealing to confirm that it was G. Billan? Ahhh that’s probably giving too much away. Garrett B!

I’d have to agree. Alexander strikes me as a bit of a knob, but I’ll still pull for him over a garbage human like Chad Kelly.

As always its both MOS and KW. Booch outlined several MOS questionable decisions. GC has mentioned that there are several guys KW didn't sign due to $ and JBR mentioned that our US scouting is subpar which ultimately falls on KW. I'll throw in Wade because he's ultimately responsible for MOS+KW.

We have major problems with American scouting. We basically played an all-American DL with Lawson in there about 2/3 of the time, and zero pressure at any stage of the game.
Reese had one pressure, Jones got a sack on a delayed blitz. BLM was not touched or moved off his spot otherwise. We're playing the guys who showed they belonged in camp/pre-season. The results are pretty bad on D. Fletcher, Dixon, Jenkins have all produced squat through 2 games. Fletcher in particular was just getting bullied by the interior of Hamilton's OL. They were opening gaps wider than the 401 when we put Ceresna on the edge and Fletcher in double A with Lawson or 3 tec.

Just daydreaming but Smith in Kyries spot. Kramdi in Kelly’s spot. Cam Allen at FS. One of Hallett/Kelly/Bouliane comes off roster.
Give Shay some reps at wil and mac too and at least see what he can do, for a guy so highly touted he barely sees the field.
Wilson ain’t it at this point in his career and if the D can’t function without Kramdi on the field every play then the whole operation needs to be gutted quite honestly.
Tony Jones needs to be replaced sooner or later too but short of a trade, that’s an offseason project.

**** all sex pests... But especially Chad Kelly. Go Als Go....

it’s not as much his performance as it is his fit. The rest of the secondary is much worse with him at s vs at sam. S is like that. BA made every one much better. It’s a niche position to fill for our usage. Some teams play low mobility canadians and just scarecrow them, but that doesn’t fit with what we do.
Same thing last year when we tried kramdi at S.

So yeah the total passing numbers weren't huge... but the troubling part is that whenever Hamilton tried to pass, it was there. Pitch and catch with wide open guys all night AND run game whenever they wanted it too. Just totally unprepared to play on D. Everyone making the comparison to the Jim Daley era defense is spot on. It was that kind of smelly bad.
Lucky for us the Hamilton D was almost as bad so the score wasn't a total blow out. Offense looks a lot better than last season already.

J.Smith should start at one of the linebacker spots when healthy and Shay should get reps. If Shay is a bigger liability than Kelly who gets reps then we ****** up on that pick.

Kramdi is the guy out there directing the D. Essentially it appears he’s the Bighill of the D. It was him telling guys where to line up when they look confused. Perhaps having him closer to the LOS would help. Just looks like lots of confusion on D, guys visibly looking like they aren’t sure of their assignments or guys defending routes that aren’t being run. My guess, it’s a bit 2 complicated and JY needs to Keep it simple stupid. But what killed us in the end wasn’t Bo and the passing game. Dude threw for 287 ish? Had like 4 explosion plays really. But what killed us was we couldn’t stop the run. Guys couldn’t tackle. If dudes made tackles at first contact lots of times those drives probably die but Kyrie jones etc were just getting owned. Fletcher appeared to be over matched significantly on the DL. Ceresna gets 3 sacks all on the inside last week. Let’s move him outside.
Someone said it best maybe it was @JohnnyAbonny but I feel JY would also put Wayne Gretzky in net.

Total opposite of how I thought the early games would look. Offence is on fire and the D looks crappy.

Moxey has not impressed so far

Just got back from the game. I can almost live with a sputtering offense. But watching that defense was painful for me. Crazy that we thought they would be the strong part of our team this year. Putrid.

Lots to like on offense. There appears to be no hope at all for the defence. Just pitiful.

I think they punted on 3rd and 2 in the first quarter
