Football in Calgary is back tonight. Too many good rookies to follow and of course we still have some talented veterans. A lot of competitions in this camp.
QB : Hufnagel and DD mentioned that the starting position is still up for grabs between Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell. 3rd string QB is also up for grabs.
RB : Martell Mallette might be in tough to get in the starting roster. Jon Cornish, Walter, Sanders are way way ahead of him. No competition here.
OLine : LG Brander Craighead, 1st pick overall Pierre Levertu, Spencer Wilson, Brad Erdos, Peach and others are fighting for the positions left after Jon Gott and Deane(both Ottawa) and Tsoumpas(retirement).
SB : we would think Nik Lewis and Marquay McDaniel got this job no problem. Stamps moved Jeff Fuller from WR to SB position so this might be a tough battle. Canadian Brad Sinopli is also in the mix.
WR : Mo Price already have one position locked up and Joe West been injured. Watch for rookie #72 Marcus Rucker, 6'4" to try to grab at least a backup position or starter if West doesn't get healthy soon.
DLine : With DE Cordarro Law gone to the NFL, watch the battle between Bishop, Dixon and Shawn Lemon to take the other DE position opposite the Sackmaster Charleston Hughes. There are some competition in Canadian interior libeman with rookie Quinn Smith in the mix.
LB : Rookie Max Caron is getting a lot of look. I hope this kid makes it.
DB : Stamps lost a few DBs in the offseason. Derrius Brooks(NFL), Randle(trade with Wpg), Eric Fraser(Ottawa) and Butler(suspension). They signed veteran Shell, Josh Bell and Webb for help. One good competition is between #32 Ryan Steed and Buddy Jackson. Both players are turning heads on training camp.
I am really excited about this season. Looks like Stamps will make some cuts tomorrow as per league rule to trim roster by Sunday, June 15th.
