We do need to bring in some players. DB's and Receivers.

DB. Kramdi (N) on the one game.
DB. Lavigne (N) PR.

DB. Holm  (A)  PR.
DB. Karamoko (G)  PR.

WR. Grant  (A). on one game.
WR. McMillian (N). PR

Let's we can pick up an NFL cut with CFL experience. Or BA37 returns ASAP. Our 6 IR game is load with starting talent. We have 9 days to figure things out, and get BO20 healthy.

Let's assume Houston and Rene are hurt. We would be left with:
Nichols
Rose
Taylor
Hallett
Ford
Parker
+3 more on the practice squad

If we can find guys better than what we have, I'm all for it. I just don't see us picking anyone up that would actually play.

I have really enjoyed watching Parker on special teams, and didn't notice him much on defence. I think he could be a keeper!

We'll see some new players added to the PR as NFL cuts become available. New injuries may direct that search towards DB's and receivers but that is usually something that happens in any case.

Parker missed a couple of open field tackles, but last night there was a number of bombers that missed making tackles.

He did but it was his 1st game starting on defence. The other issue is that we were playing off the ball and that gives the offensive player a distinct advantage in the open field.

1 game still costs SMS.  So it is tough to bring in known players (NFL/CFL cuts) as they will command larger than ELC contracts. 

Holm is still on the PR because he has upside.  No issue with promoting him.

Again, so much is based on how long term any of these injuries are.  The minute any player goes on the 6 game, that increases the ability to bring in talent that costs SMS...

Parker made some D plays, too.  He made some good hang-on tackles and was often in on the action.  I think they tried to pick on him at first but then realized he wasn't going to be "easy".

Overall Parker did a great job on his debut.

I definitely noticed that the Stamps were going after Parker but he seemed to hold his own. I thought he did well considering he wasn't even supposed to be playing defense last night. He was on the roster to replace Grant on special teams and ended up playing most of the game on defense after two Db's went down in the first quarter.

Defensive backs did good.  Stamps were only going for the short sideline passes. They ran alot. They went short passes. Our defense did the right thing goving up the short pass. They didnt wantcto go deep too often except where once where our player tripped up.

Duron Carter haha!  ;D ;D

I don't know anyone OTT or EDM has that I'd want.  Kanneh maybe, but they'll never let him go.

How about Alford coming back from the NFL??  Any hope?
