It was a Jimmy P m.o. in Montreal to meet the ratio requirement of 7 NIs only need apply - and worked well when Bourke & Perrett (who were both drafted by Jimmy P - to his credit) were very good OTs to go with solid interior O-linemen - they had a good O-line on some productive offences with Calvillo at QB.
Might be the thinking here too - if Perrett & Van Zeyl grade out as capable at OT for another season (and they could still carry an import OT - as a DI or ready on the PR)? 5 starting NIs on the O-line and you only needs 2 others - maybe one receiver (Jones or Noel) and only one on D (Gabriel at S) ?; or go all imports in the 5 pack receiver look, and have 2 NIs starting on D - (Gabriel + Waud & a draft pick at one DT spot?)
Oh, that damned nuisance "ratio problem" thingy in the CFL.
