Pretty good list, how close do you think Milo would be to starting though?

I think Milo only starts if Congi is injured. There is no point rushing this guy. He should be safe on our practice roster.

I think FB will be a battle at training camp. If Szarka lost a step in the off-season he will be released and replaced by Graeme Bell.

Other volatile positions:

Centre Nick Hutchins could easily loose his spot to Marc Parenteu.

The defensive secondary will be a crap-shoot. The riders will be replacing both Cornerbacks. I expect this job to be the most contested. Maybe even some late acquisitions to bolster our cover team.

As for receivers, I am interested to see how Terrence Nunn and Ernie Wheelright measure up to Koch and Cetoute. I expect one of the new recievers to earn a starting WR spot by midseason. Probably bouncing Cetoute out of the rotation. I have lesser expectations for Efrem Hill.

And I do think guys like Sisco can make the active roster and as far as O'Donnell goes i'm just hoping that he gets to start, i remember hearing the TSN guys say, hes a guy thats ready to play NOW

The big thing for me is Sisco. I can not see that he will not be dressed. i also tend to think that Dan Clark will be in the mix somehow. (i believe these will be staples of the team for years to come.

By the the time we get to Week #1 there will be a handful of injuries. I can see Clark, O'Donnell, and Sisco making the squad once a couple of guys move to the Injured reserve list. I can also see signing one of these guys and then moving them to the 9-Game injured list. It would let them mature, while not allowing other teams to pick them up.

I hope Kyle Exume gets a chance to play. He is a physical beast, but not much of a Running Back. He excelled on special teams in College. I would like to see him crush some returners.

Ok dig this though.With Milo on your PR he can be plucked by any team as long as he's on their starting roster.I can see the Argho's taking him or even Edmonton if you guys aren't careful.Ask Sam Fournier.

8

True, but I believe there is potential he could be starting. Congi is "perhaps" ready to go, perhaps not. You are taking your chances with him.

I know that there are a lot of Congi fans out there, but I have never personnaly been too high on him. I would think that there will at minimum be some stiff competition to see who gets the job.

A friend of mine checked a handful of training camps so far and he said Sisco is absolutely NOT impressive. But I would have said the same thing about Koch last year, after Mr. Connery and I checked out training camp.
