It's odd someone like Pierce gets cut this late in the season...

Not really. He was relegated to the practice roster twice this year.

McFadden was cut and brought back as an instant starter. The twin DCs might be a bit confused figuring out secondary talent and schemes.

I know there was initial concern about Eiben/Fields being co-coordinators but the defence has been getting better every week and I like the direction in which they're headed.

From what I understand, they seemed to want faster DBs and, for whatever the reason, McFadden didn't fit what they were looking for. Give them credit for seeing the error of their ways and bringing him back. I think that they may have the players in the secondary that they're happy with now.

A couple of guys cut by the useless Ticats doesn't really inspire me, but maybe they're happy. And again, great signing of Adeleke for good ole "Canadian depth".

What do you really think Adeleke is at this stage of his career coming off injury? He lost his spot in Hamilton already, you really expect him to start somewhere? Every time he played anywhere in the secondary othet than safety, he wasn’t very good. Of course you won’t believe that, but it’s true.

Stick to your own version of "true"; hilarious that some on these football forums can't grasp the difference between 'truth" and opinion.

Adeleke is a veteran proven D play-maker in this league; he's played S-OLB (at first some with the Stamps), mostly safety but also all other secondary positions. Maybe he's old, washed-up and injury damaged. I'll take a versatile, smart, fast veteran who knows the Canadian game over weak, inexperienced, still learning the game, rookie Americans (unless it's a Stiggers level athlete/talent) 7 days of the week. GOBs think differently though. The number of rookie or mediocre or lost American DBs ( most of the RedBlacks & Elks secondary or Marcus Sayles types and about 15 other currents I could name) who get recycled and chance after chance in this league is telling. Same old CFL $hite though.
