June 15, 201411 yr comment_56868 Irving tossing up floaters for OShea tonight.... like who ? Like remember when Irving started feeling sorry for Burke last year and stopped asking real questions...? He may still be in that mode... 'So Mike, its roster cut down day tomorrow. Do you think you might have to cut some guys?'
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56869 So 4 Nationals on the OL versus what a rotation of Thomas/Richardson/DB/Stephan on D? Thomas, Sherman, Richardson, maybe whichever one of Bucknor/Alexander who isn't starting at corner as the dime. I really can't see Stephan making the team, I mean we don't have a lot of NI's to cut, but surely we can do better from other teams cuts and guys who aren't currently on a team. We could really use NI DL too.

He may still be in that mode... 'So Mike, its roster cut down day tomorrow. Do you think you might have to cut some guys?' It's a good question, considering the number of injuries. Not sure what you expect. It's still freaking pre-season, you want Bob Irving to go old school 60 Minutes on O'Shea?
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56872 Just kind of piecing a depth chart/roster together, and depending on who is injured, we might not even end up cutting any NI's. Say we have 4 NI's on some form of IR to start the season, we'd have 27 NI's available including kickers and spare OL, with 21 NI's necessary to dress, plus PR/reserve spots. Sad.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56873 This is my depth chart after two pre-season games (7th Cdn is rotating Thomas and Richardson... maybe Alexander at S) Randle-Washington-Leggett-Suber-Bucknor (Johnson, Jones, Alexander) Wild-Kuale-Unamba (Markett, Banks, Sherman) Moseley-Anderson-Turner-Vega (Thomas-Richardson) January-Greaves-Morley-Goossen-Jones (Neufeld, Knapp) Urrutia-Moore-Denmark-Watson-Kohlert (Carter, JFG, Kelly) Willy-Marve-Brohm Cotton-Grigsby-Volny Pontbriand-Fitzgerald LH-Renaud Blake No room for Maher Knapp and Banks are reserve And, yeah, we can't really afford to cut any NIs right now...
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56874 We can say Calgary had their starting lineup manhandle ours, but let's be upfront about one thing. We had non starters flat out kill drives with drops while Willy was in. Kemp with two (and a third later) and Barnes with one. Willy looked sharp.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56875 It's getting painfully predictable watching our team ****** defeat from the jaws of victory

I think the chances of Blake long-snapping for us in game 1 are zero after tonight. Multiple screwups by long snappers don't usually result in roster spots for them. Also see Woods on the roster as a receiver/returner, and Unamba and Grigsby are PR at best IMO. Plus can't see them sacrificing Goossen at guard. He might make the game roster as the 6th or 7th OL (if we use the last Canadian spot on another OL).

Not sure what options are besides Blake - haven't heard of anyone else practicing LS... and I think I still might be short one 'National'
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56893 At qb, I see it as Willy, Brohm, Hall & Marve. I'm shocked Brohm got so much playing time last night at Hall's & Marve's expense. Marve's time was so limited in 2 games that it's hard to tell if he is capable of playing in the CFL. Hall didn't get a lot of playing time in 2 games either which is a shocker. He also didn't look comfortable out there when he did. But Brohm possibly #2? Well...
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56899 The fact Brohm looked better than Hall with a C-team o-;line in front of him speaks volumes. Hall can take a hit and doesn't BUCK-LE as much as a guy like Pierce but that doesn't mean much. Bombers putrid o-line will eventually result in casualties to promising young QBs like Willy and Marve. Wylie sure seems to have made a difference, huh?

Wild could do it for a bit while they search for someone else.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56948 I think they're prepared to go with Wild as the primary long snapper. O'Shea spoke quite glowingly of him on the last coach's show.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56967 The fact Brohm looked better than Hall with a C-team o-;line in front of him speaks volumes.

Bombers putrid o-line will eventually result in casualties to promising young QBs like Willy and Marve. Wylie sure seems to have made a difference, huh? So the fact the o-line was in a continual state of upheaval for reviewing and evaluations to be made is lost on you then? You've watched... Well listened anyway... to football long enough to know olines simply cannot be thrown together and expect to look like mid-season form.. This is weak, even by your standards... Also, wylie (and company) will turn our line of hogs into a solid unit, able to provide time to our QB stable.. you can think otherwise but you will be wrong..
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56982 Just watching the game now, Cotton and J Jonhson looking good on offense. Defense is a disaster, 88 rush yards & 2 TD's against in one quarter. Shame on Huff, blitzing the defence in pre-season, bush move.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56984 Brohm throws a nice ball, having a good game. Grigsby not looking looking too hot Brett Carter & Kelly with nice grabs.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56985 With Feoli-Gudino and Carter stepping up, I wonder if starting 3 NI receivers might now be an option? Start Kolhert, Watson & FG, with Renaud and Carter backing them up. Not ideal but might be an option on a rotating basis, considering the recent injuries to Lucas and Newman.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56990 Brett Carter not looking out of place at all, has good speed and hands Max Hall not having a good outing, short arming everything.

Start Kolhert, Watson & FG, with Renaud and Carter backing them up. Not ideal but might be an option on a rotating basis, considering the recent injuries to Lucas and Newman. Would be an interesting lineup at least. Problem probably lies in the backups there though. Carter and Renaud still are projects.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56994 Before we talk 3 NI receivers... we probably should see if Watson can get (and stay) healthy.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56995 Yeah just not enough depth to do that. But our fifth receiver spot is iffy as it is. If I'm picking our receivers right now, I'm going Moore, Denmark, Kohlert, Watson and ... I don't even know after that. Urrutia maybe? He had a few balls knocked out of his hands last night but I also don't really think they had him doing things that put him in a position to succeed. Jaymar Johnson? Great, but he's a slot not a wideout. Bert Reed wasn't bad either. I certainly wouldn't want Kemp or Barnes.
June 15, 201411 yr comment_56997 This is the first year that I can remember that we haven't had an import receiver really stand up and take charge in training camp... JFG is probably the closest... I'm pretty surprised given our expanded scouting staff.
