yes, Dan west, Sherman and Bucknor surprised me quite a bit. Norris and Cornell also have the same potential to surprise as well. Bucknor did get picked on a bit, But that's only because he was the weakest member in a very strong stable of DB's.... I don't think it would have been any different if Alexander was in there. Either way, I don't think our Canadian depth is as bad as most of us thought it was... though its still fairly thin. NFL cut down day could fix that though. Still think we need Etienne and Yannick Morin-Plante. Maybe see if Calgary will entertain offers for Peach.

Players on defence that really stood out to me last night were Sears, Vega, Wild, Leggett, Washington and Randle. These guys are pretty damn good football Players. If Vega Can play like that consistently, he's going to have a career season. That dude was in the backfield all night, and played nice disciplined football all game too. Sears is a monster at SAM. I really hope he can stay healthy and we keep him there when Banks is healthy. He is easily the Best SAM we've ever employed IMO. Randle is a S.I.C.K. boundry Corner. So happy we got this guy. Washington is not only a great DHB, he's an integral part of our team on ST's as well. Just a great player all around that we need to keep on this team for a long time. Leggett kicks some serious ass at Safety. From big hits to making great reads and plays on the ball. Wild was all over the field too. honorable mentions to Greg Peach(love his motor and how he really tries to punch the ball out every time), EJ Kuale(great pressure and physicality) and Matt Bucknor, who all had some good moments as well. Offence as a whole was pretty great all around... Our rec. Corps has to be top 3 in the league IMO. I really wish Watson could stay healthy, cuz he's an elite reciever period, Canadian or not Dan Knapp adds a whole different dimension to our blocking schemes. He looks small out there but the man is a beast, VERY strong and boy is he ever quick on the pulls and lead blocks. Grigsby looks great athletically, but His vision kind of lacks at times... I noticed a few big holes where he really could have had some big gains but he didn't see it. Still like him at RB though. Had one drop but also a couple nice catches for decent gains, including a 12 yarder. Good blocking as well. could grow into an Elite back over the year. Hopefully we can get him and Cotton both on the Active roster, they could be a serious threat if we use them both properly.... which I think MB definitely will if he has the opportunity. Willy was awesome. Great accuracy and touch on his passes, Strong enough Arm and decent Mobility... Could be the best QB we've had since Khari. Kelly looks Awkward at times but he seems to have pretty fantastic hands. I thought all along that we've been really underestimating him... hopefully he can keep it up JFG and Moore both looked good as well. I hope we find a way to get Kohlert more involved as well. I cant get over how good the O-line looked... Although a lot of that has to do with Willy, Really getting the ball in the air quickly

I can't remember what sight it was, but I think it was Mr. Perfect who called Drew being the one to get, way back when we all had Collaros fever... Just thought I'd give him his due... Good call man!

I just want to say, I was sort of upset when we missed on Collaros, and were "stuck" with Willy. I'm so happy I was SO wrong... Man did Drew look good out there

The fans in Saskabush were high on Sunseri saying he was better than Willy. Heard he played like **** during the pre season.That was hilarious... According to them, Tino was the real number two all along, Drew Willy was no big loss

His longest run was 25 yards... You really can't say that big runs made him look better than he was... That was a very consistent ground game... Much better then what we've been used to IMO

I reall didn't want bryant at first, but OShea has me in acceptance of this move

I think we'll be better than Ottawa, Edmonton, and Montreal. I think we crossover this year and play in hammy for first round of playoffs

Assuming Howard and one of the LBers.

I still really want Peach. He actually has potential to be a good OL in this league, Hines is just depth at best.

Because one person knocked the guy and its fun to gang up and trash a guy before he even has played a reg season game. I would say this about Aaron Kelly. Dunn just hasn't really impressed me since his opening 2 games against a broken Montreal. He has a strong openg two games and then didn't really do much since.

Any word on Morin-Plante, Etienne, or Matt Vonk?

I miss last years LBers

Dude, the cut down deadline wasn't even 24 hours ago.

Now here's hoping Bruce Johnson gets a shot in supers spot... I think he's going to be pretty good there

Alonzo Lawrence sure, not McCullough though... Don't think he's any better then what we have

Let's get him!

oh, I thought he was an unsigned free agent http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6531/phillip-hunt

Whats going on with him? Was he not able to come back from his injury? Why don't we give him a look?

If we could get our hands on Etienne and Morin-Plante, we would have sufficient depth for 3 Canadian receivers IMO. If only MB didn't have such a hard on for Kelly

I'm also hoping for an upgrade on Louis Richardson. There are some upgrades to be had here today, let's see if Walters and co agree

I'd much rather Morin-Plante personally

Matt Vonk http://english.cis-sic.ca/sports/fball/2012-13/files/player_profiles/waterloovonk http://news.ca.msn.com/ontario/burlington/vonk-looking-forward-to-roughriders-training-camp Bench: 24 Vert: 34" Broad: 8'10" Shuttle: 4.56

I'd like to see this.... I want peach the most, if that doesn't work out go after Vonk.

I'd like to see us get one of plante or Bastien.... Praying for billy peach Alexandre would be alright for depth, but Thomas is way better IMO
