Posted August 28, 201311 yr comment_18227 Things of note ... -- Goltz and Boltus only QB's practicing today -- Watson is practicing in full equipment -- Andre Douglas taking 1st team RT reps Woo.
August 28, 201311 yr Author comment_18229 I'm thinking if Watson goes, we very well could see 3 NI receivers this week and I wonder if they'd consider the idea of Bo Smith starting at safety.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18230 At this point, I'm a really big fan of new faces all over. Just try **** you think will work, and see if it sticks. I'm not sure there's anyone that deserves the veteran loyalty points. Nobody's performed well enough to be untouchable.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18231 I'm thinking if Watson goes, we very well could see 3 NI receivers this week and I wonder if they'd consider the idea of Bo Smith starting at safety. Based on Cauchy's play .. I'd be all for this .. Glad to see Douglas is back .. going to be a bit before he is in game shape but he can only be an upgrade over Boatman at this point.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18235 Having an import safety would be an instant, enormous upgrade. But 3 NI receivers on an already weak offense is a stretch - but I'd try it.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18238 Having an import safety would be an instant, enormous upgrade. But 3 NI receivers on an already weak offense is a stretch - but I'd try it. It's not like the imports we've had on offense have been adding much to the attack as is ..
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18239 and the whole "Imports are always better than Non-Imports" method of thinking is so outdated...
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18241 Kohlert and Etienne have made as many plays as guys like Doug PIerce or Clarence Denmark have this year and Watson next to Edwards is probably the best receiver on the team anyway so I see no problems using 3 NI receivers.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18242 But 3 NI receivers on an already weak offense is a stretch - but I'd try it. Not really, with 'Brody McKnight-in-shining-armour' kicking 55 yard FGs in practice, we only have to get to the Sask 48 yd. line.

August 28, 201311 yr comment_18243 I'm annoyed that with our lack of Canadian defensive back depth we didn't get Ryan Hinds. He didn't pan out as a starting corner for Hamilton but guaranteed he would be better depth than Dan West at safety and would have pushed Cauchy as well.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18245 Not sure about Hinds being worth the look see, seeing as he's failed a few times already, but in Hind sight.....it's still a bad idea.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18246 Not sure about Hinds being worth the look see, seeing as he's failed a few times already, but in Hind sight.....it's still a bad idea. We can't afford to be picky, especially when we're an injury away from starting Dan West and our starter isn't any good anyway. And I don't see how he has "failed a few times already", when he's only ever been with one team.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18247 Hinds reminds me of someone who should be backing up in the defensive backfield...not starting, but anyways.... CFLDaily @CFLDaily RT @Dave_CHED: #Eskimos sign non-import DB Ryan Hinds, ex of the Tiger-Cats. Also sign import DL Nekos Brown. #CFL

CFLDaily @CFLDaily RT @Dave_CHED: #Eskimos sign non-import DB Ryan Hinds, ex of the Tiger-Cats.

August 28, 201311 yr comment_18252 So depth at QB likely....Goltz, Boltus, Hall. Let' see what happens.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18256 So depth at QB likely....Goltz, Boltus, Hall. Let' see what happens. Well if Goltz gets hurt early at least we'll see the reps for Simpson we wanted earlier in the season
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18259 So depth at QB likely....Goltz, Boltus, Hall. Let' see what happens. Sure sounded like Burke was expecting Pierce to be okay to play. I'm guessing Pierce starts on Sunday.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18261 Watching live here... Goltz taking all first team reps since we only have the two QBs dressed. He looks okay. Hopefully they go with him.
August 28, 201311 yr comment_18264 I'm annoyed that with our lack of Canadian defensive back depth we didn't get Ryan Hinds. He didn't pan out as a starting corner for Hamilton but guaranteed he would be better depth than Dan West at safety and would have pushed Cauchy as well. Why is that guaranteed? Hinds couldn't even stick as a special teamer and depth in Hamilton and lost his job to an Ontario junior player.

Because Dan West has no idea how to take an angle and it makes him useless as a safety
