Thread for the Team that Cannot Be Named

[jerrym]

Ticats add Vernon Adams to their QB stable - in the flip with Charleston Hughes.

Adams is IMO a very good, promising QB talent - has showed some stuff in some CFL action.

Ticats just don't need Johnny Superstar with Masoli & Adams there, IMO. Hopefully they say good riddance to that clown; but nothing would surprise me.

And Capicciotti has been one of the most under-rated players in the CFL for some time IMO; ended up close to the league lead in tackles by a D-lineman last year - and he wasn't even playing full time reps early in the season when they had Chick; they also have last year's top pick Connor McGough to back-up / platoon with Cap at DE. And the Ticats also - last season - signed former CIS star (Metras winner) Ben D'Aguliar after he was cut by the Stamps - where he was never more than a special teamer - for added DE depth.

Not sure if the Ticats will be able to re-sign FA star DT Ted Laurent? - but they still have on their roster 3 former draft pick DTs - Atkinson, Gill and Vaughn ( the former 2 have had injury issues though). Loaded at NI DT as well ? Might be another classic CFL example of a team that seems to have plenty of talent/depth at a specific position where they could easily start NIs there - but not if they are not part of the pencilled-in GOB 7 only ? Gotta have good ole "NI depth" though. ;o)

With Cappiciotti and Charleston they two top DEs, so it looks like they are preparing to let Laurent go to save money for other positions.
I also agree they are far better off with Adams who has some potential but may not turn out, than with the headaches associated with Manziel.
