May 31st Depth Chart

I am posting this here to review at various times during the year. It is easy to lose track of just how many moves a team makes during the course of a season and how the final roster (meaning the one for the last game in October or November) is nothing like the starting roster. I will keep the week one chart as well and compare the two at the end of the year.

Here we go, typo and all.

Of course we need to take into account those that the team is being "cautious" with.

Sorry about the wonky positions, the file lost a little integrity when I blew it up.

A few notes and reminders, again for future review.

• WR Dominique Rhymes gets the start after contributing in 11 games last year (15 receptions, 219 yards). He has been talked up in interviews, particularly by QB Trevor Harris so let's check in November and see how that worked out.
• DT Daryl Waud has a history of injuries over the last two years so while I understand the reasoning behind being cautious, seeing him on the "not dressed" list is a little worrisome. We'll see.
• DE Connor Williams doesn't make either list. It's sounding more and more like injuries will force him into retirement, or at best a comeback attempt next season, which is too bad. He only played in one game last year.
• DT George Uko was said to be among the starters at the start of camp but is now listed with the 2nd team behind Harold Brantley. 
• The plan to start two Canadian receivers appears to be proceeding along with Austen Hartley and Julian Feoli-Gudino both showing as first-team.
• Honoured as the country's best university player, Ed Ilnicki is behind the far-less celebrated Wayne Moore, who was quietly signed in July of last year.

What does all of this mean? Not a damn thing, they're just some points to review a few months from now to see how they played out. Enjoy the game!
