They will be good, fotze. Higgins, Creehan, Buratto, Ted Hellard, it all starts from the top down. When the F-Troop was here, we were a joke. Before that we were one of the contenders every year.
These guys in charge now have done an amazing job of overhauling the roster with not only free agent, bigger name signings, but they've brought in a lot of guys who names aren't as well known who I'm particularly excited to see this year. Coby Rhinehart, Trey Young, Tony Stallings, Ben Kelly and Jermaine Chatman are a few names no one will know, but I think are going to be very good for us this year. Miguel Robede, our #1 pick from two years ago is here now, too.
You have a team here that has added a lot of depth, and youthful depth at that, over the past 16 months or so. We're 6 deep at the receiver/slot position, with only one of them being 30+ years of age. The Coe-Grace-Clark-White LB situation, one of the best in the league, is now complimented with a couple non-import young guys, Yeow and Calixte. The oldest guy in the defensive backfield is 29.
I'm not going to set here and talk about the o or d lines because that's not something I know much about. Most of the guys coming back were here last year so there's some more familiarity. There are a few holes, but every team has them. I think the Stamps goal should be to win the west. Edmonton will be strong as always, the Riders will be better but not scary better and BC is hanging by a thread now that Printers is gone because you just know the injury to Dave Dickenson is coming, it's just a matter of when.
