QB: No Kelly (as expected)
RB: No Carey (as expected), no Brown (maybe he's hurt), looking forward to seeing what Williams can do.
WR: A possible starting 5-pack, though I think Brissett is hurt.
OL: Interesting configuration -- maybe they're experimenting
DL: Need to evaluate these guys
LB: No McManis (as expected) - Mauger at SAM
DB: Evans at boundary CB because Benjie is still hurt I guess.

Of course, these depth starts for preseason are usually not to be relied upon too closely.

Obviously preseason depth charts are not necessarily indicative of much, but given that Moore played LT and Hunter played RT at the blue-white scrimmage and they are starting at those positions tomorrow, I'm betting they will be the week 1 starters. The inside positions are a real jumble -- Nicastro, Ciraco, Doxtator, Vandal and Giffen are all in the running for three spots, it seems. Best-case scenario for Bosse and Dankwah is probably practice roster.

Mauger listed as the only S-OLB? Obviously he will not be the only one to play there the whole game? I was hoping Rutledge - who i think played that spot for the Bombers a few years back (and was impressive) would get a shot there (not a big fan of Mauger); Rutledge listed at the 2nd string safety - where he might be very good as well.

Zorn at fullback? - little used position in the Argo offence; maybe he makes the roster as a good STer, plus could be a depth RB who could maybe play there if need be ?

Be interesting to see how much playing time Hergott & Ojo get at DE; to see if one of those guys can get to play some in the D-line rotation.

DL DeShawn McCarthy put up crazy numbers at a small US school I am interested to see if he is able to stick.

Looks like they are trying Vandal at C tonight. If he has a good pre season there, Ciraco will be in tough to make the team.

I know its preseason but how on earth do you leave Tim White all alone like that?

6-0 Hamilton at the half. If Mitchell had been sharp Hamilton would be running away with the game.

Bovine his usual self - over throwing and under throwing open receivers.

Hope the Bryan Cox pre game injury isn't serious. TSN already spewing Mitchell Love Fest already. Why is Monson showing all his cards in a pre season game?
