Just got back from the game. Buckley has absolutely no business being considered for the backup role. I know some people won't like to hear it, but CIS QBs simply do not have the pedigree to succeed at the CFL level. Completely overwhelmed with the defensive schemes. If Buckley wants to run short yardage, fine. If he actually wants to play, he should consider a switch to receiver like Sinapoli did.
Gale looked pretty decent. I would assume he has the inside track for the backup job. Hard to tell in Stanzi as he had garbage time minutes with the 4th string and the d had him starting from poor field position. Looked composed though and could probably get the job done.
Jacoby Green Looked like a beast. Hopefully we can find a spot for him. Reggie Begelton looked like a McDaniel clone. Unfortunately he was hurt by a BS dirty play by #43 on the Lions.
The d was very impressive. Not sure where they continue to find these guys. Some of the vets may be in Serious jeopardy of losing their spots, especially if they have a high price tag.
Wally Bueno continues to be a moron. Challenging plays with 5 minutes left in an exhibition game. What a tool. Dickinson could have challenged many plays but didn't bother because well... it's an exhibition game.
