If all currently listed, as active (46) or injured (21), Tiger-Cats were healthy and ready to play, how many of the following would you expect to be on the 46-man active list for our next game? -- Bulcke, Butler, Fantuz, Figueroa, Gable, Gascon-Nadon, Gaydosh, Gill, Grant, Sears, Simmons, Washington, Watt, Woodson -- I'd say as many as 11, or even 12, of these 14. The depth of talented players on this team is amazing.
A "nice" problem to have. Luckily KA and staff are the ones with the "problem", not us.
Looking at your list I’ll take each player on your list one by one using last games depth chart as a reference point:For each move I’ve replaced or switched out Cdn for Cdn and Imp for Imp. You say in your post about 11 to 12 my count would be 13.The only player that unfortunately I couldn’t find room for was Simmons due to the teams ratio configuration.
Bulcke-dt…yes/in…out…Hazime-dt
Butler-s…yes/in…out…King-s
Fantuz-rec…yes/in…out…Aprile-rec
Figueroa-ot…yes/in…out…Lewis-ot

Sears-db/lb…yes/in…out…Caldwell-lb
Simmons-ol…???/out…only 2 imp OL dressed on game day unfortunately
Washington-db…yes/in…out…Gainey-db
Watt-wr…yes/in…out…Coates-wr (not sure on this one)
Woodson-rb…yes/in…out…Langa-lb
I can’t wait for that to happen!!!
@bobo - I agree with you about Simmons, but not about Watt and Woodson. Langa has been a beast on Special Teams, and he's one of the "big body" blockers on the line on punts and he has a good nose for the football (making tackles and recovering the odd fumble). As for Spencer Watt, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Watt is a much better receiver than Coates. It's just too bad that we have yet to see how good he actually is in our colours.
