Here's what I noted on day 1: Bryant-Dobson-Kolankowski-Eli/Wallace(for Neufeld)-Lofton Lawler-Schoen-Murphy(for Demski)-Alston-Wolitarsky Augustine (for Oliveira) Collaros Jefferson-Thomas-Fox-Haba Wilson-Bighill Parker-Nichols-Nick Hallett (for BA)-Holm-Ford-Kramdi Tyrique McGhee appears right in the mix as well. And it felt like a lot of Lawson with Thomas in the early portion.

May 13, 20241 yr comment_695436 Seems like guys for the sake of continuity, which I like. But let’s see these new guys get some opportunities. Curious to see who can step up.
May 13, 20241 yr comment_695439 Man I hope Hamilton is out to lunch with his talk of an all Canadian interior on the D line.

I think (hope?) that's just Hamilton talking out of his ass (which is normally reserved for a couple other local reporters). Thomas showed last year that he has slowed down a lot and Schmekel showed absolutely nothing. I can't see anyway they are going to use those guys in rotation with Lawson for two spots when they are barely good enough to back him up for one spot. Â
May 13, 20241 yr comment_695448 They'll use basically everyone though. Last few years there's only been a couple guys who get almost no reps aside from extra OL. They just have to declare where the 7 starters are, offense or defense. They'll be at 5 on O and 2 on D almost certainly with tons of flexibility.

There is zero chance of that happening. Maybe the occasional snap here or there to get some guys breathers but right now all we have is rotational NATs. Fatboi can't start he doesn't have the wind, Lawson maybe, but right now those are about the only guys we got capable of taking more than a few reps a game without being a liability.

Between injuries and departures it's all about continuity. So they plug in the guys with the most experience while rookies learn. Up to the first pre season game we will see lots of guys cycled through and guys will get a chance to pick it up and play more.Â

Agreed....Lawson is starter and impact quality....but who backs him up if he goes down?...Thomas?...pffft...no...if he is on the roster it's only to give Lawson a piss break and a drink of gatorade...and until we see if Samson is legit and capable...we have nothing behind him...Korneslson and Schmeckle wont amount to anything other than bottom teir roster guys at best and thats not good enough...I doubt either would make a roster elsewhere... If we declare 1 National as one of our Canadian starters on defence, then we can use 1 guy for snaps at either DT...SAM as a rotation piece (Ford/Kramdi) or have Kelly or Ford spell of BA to meet the ratio on any given play....and hey...maybe use the Nationalized American for reps 29 times too...wow theres a thought...We have BA..Biggie...Wilson...WJ...Nichols...many guys to throw that tag on....playing an extra Canadian is good sense/use if you have the horses to do it...and the back-ups...we dont and doing it because the Coach is a proud Canadian and is giving rewards for the position and really no other reason, at the expense of better talent, and an all around better defence is plain dumb...

See DI's being Castillo, one returner (receiver or RB), one rush end, one DB/LB type. Edited May 13, 20241 yr by JuranBoldenRules

May 13, 20241 yr comment_695458 just saw the db salaries on 3down, I had no idea we would be paying Kramdl top db money (1. Between him and Lawton feells like 125-139k . and Lawton 135k. Feels like we are overpaying . Especially if |Cole moves to that position. Could have used that for de .
