No big shockers, Darrell Campbell's performance was underwhelming in the pre-seaosn and he did have the inside track on the DT position left open by Keron Williams. Campbell knew the defensive scheme as he was on the 2009 edition of the Als. Campbell lost over 35 pounds in the off-season to become more useful to the team. However the weight loss, could have lost him some strength when it came to run-defense.

It would have been a nice story if Patrick Cobourne made the squad, however Patrick was in tough to try and crack the Als at the receiver position. Most of the Back-up receivers will be Canadians. This may not be the last we see of the younger Cobourne.

And you got to think the Als had what DB's they wanted on the squad prior to the game against The Argos. Both Chandler and Snowden had INTs in that game and looked solid.

It does seem like the returners position is still up for grabs as Maypray, Owens and Whitaker and still around, for now.
