Hamilton Depth Chart versus Edmonton

Standard offensive line this week yet again. Been a pretty stable unit so far this year. The backs are Cobb and the non-import Williams for four receiver sets. Prechae, Davis, Stala and Bauman are listed as the main four receivers. Looks like Bruce will come in for Williams on five receiver sets, since between the offensive line and Stala and Bauman, that's six non-import starters on offense. Watch how this progresses during the game.

For the defensive line, McIntyre and Hickman are the ends, with Khari Long backing up McIntyre. Bolden is one of the tackles, with new Ticat pickup, import Montez Murphy starting at the other tackle position (Montez is a bit undersized for this spot). Non-import Kirk goes back to backup duty. Getting some pressure from the front four on Ray will be important, otherwise it will be death by a million short passes. With Floyd still out, Knowlton, Haley and Johnson start again at linebacker. Same secondary as last week, Gordon, Thompson, non-import Beveridge at safety, Tisdale and Smith. Compared to last year, the Cats have a much more stable team in terms of starters.

For Edmonton, the offensive tackles are McGrath at left tackle and an import Armstrong at right tackle. Mac product Kyle Koch, Fiacconi and Kabongo are the interior of the line.

Whitlock is the starting running back, with Calvin McCarty backing him up. Betrand is the non-import fullback. Mann and Stoney Creek native Andrew Nowacki are the starting wideouts and Stamps, Rector and former mediocre Cat and non-import Kamau Peterson are the starting slots. Not sure if Peterson only comes in on five receiver sets or what. That's probably five Canadian starters on offense, although it is a bit confusing.

On defence, the ends are Jones and Peach. Taylor and Romero are the starting tackles. Hill, Lloyd and Restelli are the starting linebackers.

Buhl and former Cat Jason Goss are the starting cornerbacks. Malveaux and Williams are the starting defensive backs, with non-import Richardson being the only starting non-import on defence. That means there must be six Canadian starters on the offence then.
