Could the Cats wind up worse than 2010 and 2011? I hope not and having a competent quarterback like Kevin Glenn should prevent complete pre-2010 suckage, but who knows what can happen.

Cats Lose Ramsay and Reid
The Cats lost non-imports Brian Ramsay (offensive tackle) and Jermaine Reid (defensive tackle) to Edmonton via free agency. As Drew Edwards points out in the article, Reid had four sacks in seven games last year, which is actually pretty decent. The Cats have now had two seasons at 9 and 9 and I'm wondering if the salary cap is beginning to bite unlike in previous years, when most of the Cat players were frankly crap. Ramsay and Reid weren't by any means crucial to the team, but I do wonder if cap issues were responsible for both leaving. I have no clue who the Cats have in mind as Reid's replacement (I'm also too lazy to go through the game day rosters for the last few games for 2010 to find out who it is, but he can't be that great).

Ramsay's loss doesn't seem that significant to me, though Reid definitely had a few good games last year. Then again it's a lot easier to see a DT do his job than an OT -- just like it's easier to see a bad OT than a bad DT.
I imagine some cap room is being loosened up for a certain new running back. No more corn hats at Ivor Wynne I'm betting...
Oh, and btw, I hereby predict the use of the word "fungible" with reference to Cobb.
Oil and CFL running backs definitely have similarities.
