Ticat Depth Chart Analysis, Week 3

Not a lot of changes from last game versus Vancouver. McIntyre is in for the injured Khari Long at defensive end. Similar to last week, the team will start an all American defensive line with Bolden in with non-import Matt Kirk backing up and probably subbing in from time to time.

Linebackers all American again, with Haley, the week one middle linebacker listed as third on the depth chart. After sucking the first game, you wonder how long he will stick around on the roster. Basically the only Canadian starter on defence is safety Sandy Beveridge, so in theory the defence should be decent, especially against the mediocre quarterbacking efforts of one Stefan LeFors.

On offense, there are four non-import starters on the offensive line, with again veteran George Hudson in at guard ahead of Cedric Gagne-Marcoux like last week in Vancouver. Dave Stala starts as a non-import receiver and Bauman starts at receiver for five receiver sets with John Williams playing at fullback for four receiver sets. That's six Canadian starters on offense. Pavlovic is back on the depth chart for fullback and he is a true fullback unlike Williams, so maybe he will be eased in tonight. Stoney Creek native Corey Grant is listed on the depth chart at receiver. The import receivers are Rodriguez, Davis and Currie.

At looked at the Bomber website for their depth chart, and of course they don't have one up yet for this game. Talk about reinforcing the backward hick stereotype. Anyways, I looked over the one for their previous game. Four non-imports on the offensive line, with Glenn January an import tackle. One non-import starting receiver in former Cat Brock Ralph and a starting non-import fullback in Fergus' own Jon Oosterhuis. Import receivers Bryant, Edwards and Bowman.

On defence, Doug Brown is a non-import starting at defensive tackle. Ian Logan is also listed as a Canadian starter at safety, which would give the Bombers six on offense and two on defence when they only need seven, so I don't know what's up with that. Walls and Perry are the ends.
The all import linebacking corps consists of Charlton, Simpson and Lobendahn. Never heard of the Bomber defensive backs. The Bombers defence has looked OK so far this year, so the Cats could be in tough.
