The "unofficial" first game at BMO Field.
Milanovich says that we ought to see the regulars more than usual for a pre-season game because he was them to get used to the grass.

Finally! I'm sure that we've all been waiting for this for quite some time. Is anyone else heading to the Tailgate at Ontario Place Parking Lot # 1?
Good job Will. Nice to see a meaningful comment on the thread starter.
I'd keep RR in the game no more than one quarter. He's had plenty of experience playing on grass, and we need to see what Kilgore and Fajardo can do. Ideally both of them will get some reps with starters on the o-line and at receiver.
I don't expect many veterans will have alot of playing time in Montreal. I wouldn't mind seeing starters in the whole first half, just to put a winning note down on their new home and putting them in good frame of mind in their new home. They won't play much at all next week.
Very excited not only for Saturday, but also for the Alouettes - Bombers game tonight. CFL Football is back!
I know for Saturday's game I'll have a watchful eye on Milanovich's offence and how a certain cornerback perform. ;)
Just kidding. Much more interested in seeing how the new recruits, Hajrullahu, Farjardo and Kilgore perform. Also interesting in seeing how the field holds up; if it does end up raining.
I highly doubt it, but I do wonder if Roberts will see some action behind centre. Are teams even allowed to use QB's under the internship program ?
No, they are not under contract to the team.
Yeah, in my opinion he is clearly a developmental prospect at this time. I'm not overly crazy on his arm strength either.
McPherson is almost certainly the short-yardage guy, but I don't know if the #2 QB (for throwing purposes) is decided. I've liked what I've seen from Kilgore in the 2 occasions that I've been in camp, but Milanovich may side with the veteran. Either way, it's something for them to sort out in part in the game on Saturday.
I wonder with the game being in Toronto whether the Ticats will bring many starters. From what I understand, Matthews has looked pretty bad in camp and is clearly losing the battle to start the year as #1 behind Masoli.
I can't remember, are these "interns" also underclassmen?
