Depth Chart Analysis

On the offensive line, Goodspeed is the import left tackle, with Gauthier the non-import right tackle. Hage, as always is the centre. Dyakowski is back at left guard, which should improve the running game. Hudson is in at right guard, as he has been since almost the beginning of the season.

Porter starts, with both Cobb as the starting running back, but #30 Terry Caulley is listed as his backup. For the fullbacks (which the Cats rarely use), Mac's Sadeghian is listed ahead of Williams.

Import Prechae Rodgriguez is back at one of the wide receiver spots, with non-import Chris "the Invisible Man" Bauman at the other. Import McDaniel is listed at one of the slotback slots, with hometown boy Dave Stala at the other. For some reason, Arland Bruce is listed as third behind Bauman and Corey Grant, but obviously I am sure he will be in there. I am not sure why the Cats always do this. Matt Carter, the fifth pick overall in the draft taken by BC that we somehow got for free is listed as Stala's backup. Not sure if he will get an offensive series.

On defence, still no McIntyre or Adams. Long and Hickman are the ends, with Montez Murphy and Bolden the tackles. The whole line is imports, with non-import tackles Kirk and Reid subbing in.

Knowlton, Floyd and Johnston are the import linebackers, surprise, surprise.

Bradley and Smith are the corners. Thompson and Tisdale the defensive backs and as always, the lone starting Canadian is Sandy Beveridge, the safety.

For Winnipeg on offence, Morley starts as the non-import left tackle, with January the import right tackle. Khan, is the center, LaBatte and Mac grad and former Ticat Donnelly the guards, all non-imports.

Bishop obviously starts, with Reid the starting running back. The starting fullback is Oosterhuis, a non-import. Amey and Bowman are the starting import wideouts. The slots are one of the Ralph brothers and Hargreaves, both non-imports.

On defence, no Gavin Walls this week. Hunt and Willis are the import ends. Big Doug Brown, a non-import starts at tackle, with import Smith as the other tackle. Charlton, Simpson and Shabazz are the import linebackers.

Craver and Johnson are the import corners, with Walls and Hefney the import defensive backs. Logan is the starting non-import safety.

So Simpson is back, which is somewhat problematic for Hamilton, but the loss of stalwart starter Gavin Walls should hopefully give Porter some time to throw.

Check out this forum post that listed the teams' winning percentages for this decade. Obviously it has been hard to be a Cat fan this decade, although I was surprised to see Calgary below 500.
