List is getting smaller i guess... www.cfl.ca/2022/08/31/ticats-injury-report-evans-shiltz-sit-out-wed-practice/"Quarterback Jamie Newman (neck) was a full participant and took first-team reps. Offensive lineman Chris Van Zeyl (hip) is eligible to practice as his time on the six-game injured list nears its end, while wide receiver Anthony Johnson (wrist) was also eligible to practice but did not participate. The Argos aren’t at Day 1 of their practice week yet and aren’t obligated to share an injury report." |

"Nobody worked harder in practice" "Condell didnt know how to use him anyway" "He'll be a mentor to Garand-Gauthier" |

Think anyone will question the whiff on yet another 1st overall draft pick? Yet another failure nobody wants to shine a light on. The drafting has been pretty solid the last half decade, i'm okay with the occasional whiff early if rounds 2,3,4,5,6 are producing players still. Especially when factoring in, Burt seemed like Kalinic's NFL insurance policy, and 2020 and 2021, between covid and injury, were a write off for him developmentally speaking. |

Williams?? Korte??? Canadian OLinemen don't just grow on trees you know" Could have drafted them but we haven't taken many in the first 3 rounds in a while. (I did the homework recently. Too lazy right now) but we've taken less OLinemen early than anyone. |

Even if they HAD drafted O linemen, it's far from a certainty they would have been able to develop them properly. Astounding that this staff, with its years of experience in this league, can't see the shortcomings of our O line, or if they do, are unwilling to do anything about it.
I had a ridiculous exchange over Burt on the team board with that fangirl who thinks she's in the know because she stalks players on social media. By any objective standard, Burt was a wasted pick.
Of the players on dork's list above, I regret losing Bennett & Irons.
