Well, when are we gonna get rowdy?
LET'S GO BLUE!

TIL Jake Thomas only speaks in the third person, and is REALLY hard on himself.

My money is on Jake Thomas.

Originally they're supposed to be a trio - Booch, Buzz and Boomer. That's what I heard. 

Can you smell what The Booch is cooking?

Booch is arrogant but he’s not The Rock arrogant. The Rock would be promoting the UFL. 

'86 is when we went to 18 games I think....and i remeber the 4 pre-sesdon yrs...2 a day....hitting and pads all the time...men were men and way less injuries too

I think this is the best solution.  

Yep..so was the play of his OL and his OCs playcalling. Certainly not all on Zac.

Our QBs are set. Streveler is taking the lions share of the reps because he will be starting first game. Collaros takes reps because he isn't playing for weeks after. Wouldn't be surprised if Arto and Wilson get very limited reps or none at all.
Like others have said, for some guys we know exactly what they bring and are being left home. Especially the guys on D. They don't need to get into a rhythm.
Everyone else is getting more of a chance to put things on film

Imagine posting these two things literally back to back lol “when people talk football here they take it WAY too serious but when  i do it it’s just vibes bro” exactly one post after talking exactly the same way I talk when you complain 
This is how I feel. I would love to believe Kyrie staying home means he hasn’t made the team but what has our front office ever done that would suggest that?

I'm going to be positive and say that hopefully we are all surprised on cutdown day.

Seems kind of strange to burry the second game with back ups, when the first game of the season is in week 2. I am glad a bunch of guys are gonna get some good reps, but if the majority of decisions are made, whats the point?

I don't understand not grooming him more to be a RB, seems like we are lowering his ceiling. 
I really don't understand out moves at Lber. If Kyrie and Tjones were gonna be handed the starting jobs, why bring in Jjones? Give jones a signing bonus and bring him in to maybe DI and cut ayers? 
I don't think vaughters has out right won the position by play, but I also don't think any one has clearly out played him for it. The closest thing imo would be adams to DE with woods/pointer at dt to bump vaughters. But hes a better player than Kyrie at this point pretty easily. 

Is there enough room for Shay+Smith+Novak or does one (Novak) end up on the PR?
Vaval has apparently impressed according to media reports about camp and can return, does he end up as a DI who is the extra DB and the returner?

I suspect J.Jones would end up as a DI if Wilson and T.Jones are the starters but Ayers being cut or put on the PR is a concern. Wilson should not have been brought back and T.Jones while he helped us last year is a JAG we got off the scrapheap last year. Hopefully MOS realizes this.

I just don't seeba world where the lesser Jones starts over the other guy... 

Subjective.
Ayers has a strong hype train right now.  Good special teamer last year.  Started a couple games.  Yeah looked good, not a ton of snaps.  Certainly not a mainstay by any means.
There's always 3-4 of these guys hanging on a team or in a camp.  Lots of them never become impact guys.
Both Jones guys are "scrap heap."  J Jones had one really good year out of 3 in the CFL.  Toronto didn't want to pay him more than rookie deal money.  That's a tale old as time in the CFL.  One team doesn't think a guy can perform to the money he's likely owed on a next contract, another team signs the guy and he's MODP of the whole league, or MOP if it's a QB.  Guy could be an all-star, or junk.
Wilson has been among the worst players on the field since he got injured in 2022.  He's done.
Griffin is getting on the roster IMO and he's not going to start in the secondary or at LB.  He's going to be a Swiss army knife type guy and anchor on special teams.  So that's who is more likely to squeeze Ayers off the roster with the current unsettled returner issue flipping the roster around a bit.  Another issue is how many American receivers they decide to dress.

Guys, keep politics out of the thread.  
We’ve been so good for so long, please continue to abide by Rich’s wishes and forum rules.
I’ve pruned a few posts to get us back on track.

hey maybe we can get a group deal? Buy 2 get kola free? 
 
I mean that will knock any one out of commission for a while. 

A gift card to Foody Goody?

Lawson. 

Yep. 
 Ayers is my biggest worry. That kid has soo much potential, work ethic and desire. He makes plays few people in football can pull off. Be it on teams or D. We gotta keep polishing that kid. If he half fulfills what he’s capable of, he’s the best defensive player in the league. Idk how many times we’ve seen guys who are that level of disruptive, but it’s been really rare for us. 

So if I have it correct
@Booch is going to pull a Tonya Harding on Kolo, so we can get Eli at C.
@wbbfan will do the same to K.Wilson, so that Ayers doesn't get cut.
 
So who is taking out Jake?

I wonder if they see Vanterpool and Randolph as our two tackles of the future. Bryant is obviously LT this season but possibly it is his last. The easiest way to keep both Randolph and Vanterpool is by starting Vanterpool at LG this season and Randolph at RT. I also think this would be our best configuration. We have enough Canadians starting elsewhere to go 3 import OL.
Start Kola and Neuf. Keep all 3 of Eli, Wallace, and Vibert, using the IR/PR where necessary.
Having a strong OL in front of Collaros is a must.
