Teams are not allowed to move players to the 6 game IR at this point. So we don't exactly know how serious the injuries to Alexander and Ayers might be. Anyone have more info?

I'm concerned that Whitehead, Demski, Wilson and Wheatfall are not 100% but we choose to not add another receiver for depth.

Kelly starting at safety is a bit of a surprise over Hallett? I guess the option still exists if necessary but with all the import DB's on our PR and none of them can play at safety?


We're back to starting 10 Canadians if I have the count correct. If they continue to win, then maybe we should be starting more. lol

Not ideal giving Jake Kelly his first start ever against a hawk like Chad Kelly, but it would have been the same last week against BLM, we'll see how he does.  Must be disheartening for the Hallett bros. to be bypassed but I guess they've been here long enough to accept they're ST lifers.

Little surprised that Woli82 isn't back yet. Has been running hard in practice, looks fit and ready to go. But, I guess with Clercius playing well no need to rush him back.

pretty much 50% od the team is playing with some sort of issue, but with the way Younger rotates in pretty much everyone on d, they should still be effective

Really glad to see Griffin in the lineup, hes been very good at playing both lb positions. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get some safety reps too.
Hes a baller

Yes but he's another player that didn't take any reps in practice this week. He could be somewhat limited due to health?

Argos lose Sopik at LB and he's been a factor for them in 2024.

[we hammer Edmonton at home tonight. Long shot that will happen]

All I can do right now is hope we hammer Edmonton at home tonight. Long shot that will happen, but wouldn't that be a way to generate excitement..

WRONG AGAIN

Hopefully Cole and Kelly can come through.  Likely to see even more rotation than normal.

Shouldn't we be putting our best players on the field?

I think they're doing exactly that already.

Interesting numbers. Case is a slightly more efficient kick router and punt returns are a wash. Lucky has a big advantage of being a plug and play back up receiver though and in the CFL's small roster set up that is very helpful. I think they will go a different direction at returner next year but Lucky's been good enough and a helpful receiver as well. Makes it hard for Case if since he's not substantially better.

That's fair but they haven't used him really as a WR (but I agree that they should more). He has 3 catches on 4 targets for 17 yards over the last 6 games.
I don't know that Case is substantially better as a returner but he is better without doubt. Shouldn't we be putting our best players on the field?
