Blue Bombers Roster Moves - June 3

[Pigskin]

Rosery retired. We did not release him.

Nationalized Americans (NA's) can play up to 23 plays a game
1 NA per game per team
CFL spotters will tell teams when the player is down to 5,3 & 1 play left.

Now we know the rest of the story.

Best to take any NA (I still like FAKENAT better) discussion to the "Roster Player Categories" thread.  I have a feeling it's going to generate a lot of chatter.

I beg to differ. Stove was an upgrade to Nevis.

Wee bit different players but both beasts.  I really liked Nevis.  Stove was elite.

Two. One on either side of the ball. We have players on defence that qualify but no one to use as a Nationalized American to take up to 23 plays. Depth chart will be interesting.

Let's see now. We would normally only have 1 Canadian starting on defence. That being Thomas. So do we " start " the other rookie Canadian DT and then put Walker in for only 23 plays after the 1st play?

What happens if the Designated Canadian player is injured? Do you get to change that player choice during the game.

There is absolutely nothing I like about this rule.

Another example. Gauthier starts for play 1 and then is immediately replaced for the next 23 plays by Clements. Gauthier would have been the 8th Canadian starter. Does this then allow us to put in Brian Jones as a DI taking us back to 7 Canadian starters?

Whoops. Clements doesn't qualify. Every veteran that qualifies is already a starter except Grant and Castillo.

My head is going to explode.

Interesting that MacDougall retired. That's 2 young bomber players who have retired.

On Bonfire sports Bauming said he met MacDougall's dad at the stadium, apparently he has 3 years of CIS eligibility left and he's only 21.

This makes a lot of sense.

Looks like X bomber Nick Taylor is on Calgary's 6 game.

[Pigskin]

Good to hear Lawson is only on the 1 game IR.

[Pigskin]

Rose and Parker added to the 6 game. Getting a little thin at DB.

Both of them?!!?

That's unfortunate. We were supposed to have all the depth at DB.

[Pigskin]

That's what I read in the official game day thread.

[Pigskin]

Lots of CFL vet recently cut. Might be time to bring in a couple of players to look at. DB, DT, maybe a DE.
