I hope him and his little cognoscenti here are going to be Ok, and not all bent out of shape.

Really? Take another look at the charts for week 1 and 2. I count 8 and let’s be honest, Cibasu might have been named a starter, but Spieker took more snaps. Let’s say 8+ Argos started the same
It’s the same this week. Surely you’re not counting the a FB as a starter. That would make 13 on a 12 man offence.

For the record, 1 safety, 1 LB, 2 DL, 1 RB, 1 receiver, 2 OL, and Cibasu, who we all know is not really starting.

Week 2

The chart shows 10 starting Canadian. AngeloV you are basically an anti-Canadian troll.This forum would be a lot more pleasant if the moderators banned intentional trolling.

He's not anti-Canadian IMO; he's just a little dupe being told how things just must work - one way only - in the CFL, and is going to insult anybody who doesn't agree. Sad, IMO.

That leaves nine, one of which is Cibasu. Watching on TV last week, I never noticed him but perhaps someone who was there was attentive enough to say how often he took offensive snaps. It seems pretty likely that, notwithstanding the chart, Mtl will play eight NATs regularly, not 10.

Cibasu barely plays on their offence (up till now); so he is listed as a starter so the GOB thinking roster stunt can replace him with a favored American (for however many snaps it's supposed to be); OTOH - Cantin-Arku is not listed as a starter but does play plenty of reps in packages on their D. You can also scratch another listed Canadian starter there as rookie Beauchemin is listed as a starter at OLB but will promptly be replaced by Beverette.

Hey, I threw no insult until I was referred to as an anti-Canadian troll. All I did was point out truths about that depth chart and since it didn’t fit his barrative, I was an anti Canadian troll.

AV? Is he new here?

June 21 watching Collaros and the BB crushing it in BC, WITHOUT the top Canadian in the CFL in their line-up, and thinking it should come down to a battle between Sask and BB for first in the West this year...

must now admit, after Week 12, that the Stamps are for real also...But this is the Bombers post, and I still think they are legit for a shot at 1st place AGAIN. Collaros is as steady as you can get, and O'Shea really knows his stuff. Brady O. is back in-form. The consistency is impressive.

Bombers are still a fairly solid team, but nothing special and without vet QB Collaros and top RB talent Oliveira they would be in last place i bet; still could take the West i guess, but the surprising Stamps and the Riders are better IMO, and BC would be too if not for their useless, brain-dead coaching defence. Bombers D is average to weak, and this will be costly down the stretch or in a play-off game (just as it could be for the Argos if they make it).

Not to beat a dead horse, but that is what I do.....

Demario Houston is starting for the Bombers tomorrow night. Why is there no suspension or outrage for him? What he was accused of (and originally criminally charged) is far worse than what Chad Kelly was accused of (with no criminal charges)?

That's a fair question. Houston's wife has also stated that he has a history of this type of behavior. The female who works in the Blue Bombers front office and the employee of the CFL.ca ( the 50 Cent fan) must be very upset.
