If you had 2019 Streveler at QB...giddy up. The fact that he can't change direction anymore and can't reach top speed makes a run heavy, RPO style game a true grind...not just on the D but on him. I think Corcoran can play. Going from the receiving corps we have had to just Wheatfall and Sterns on as Americans is pure insanity. I don't read much into depth chart positions on D. Will be interesting to see how they deploy the bodies. Parker moving to corner had to happen. To take 1/3 of a season to realize Bridges is not a CFL player and Parker is terrible at safety....hmm. Again...Vaval...what a goddamn fail that we keep running this guy out. Costs us points and dozes of yards of field position on a weekly basis. Put someone in there that knows how to catch a punt and at least break even. I bet Cobb ends the game as returner.

The problem is that there isn’t a single receiver on the field that forces a defense be honest and our offense, in general, does a terrible job of creating space for these receivers to operate. Couple that with another change on the offensive line and Lofton being terrible in general (he struggled as a right tackle last year, there’s no indication he’ll excel as a blind side blocker) I’m not expecting a lot from our offense. There is NOTHING on that side of the ball that forces a team to respect what we might plan to do. We saw what that looked like against Calgary.

They are making changes and that is what everyone wanted Offense looks really weak after the injuries and changes but sure seems like they'll go with a strong ground game and aren't being shy about it.

Probably from the get go really I think with Griffin....J.Jones and the best of the others we could have a really good LB crew but we def need to be constantly pounding the pavement for impact guys for the front 7 until we find it The DB's I think will be fine once they sort it out who is best where....but again....we should always be bringing guys in for looks...and or sniffing around othe PR's or who may be apt to trade

How dare you question professional coaches and their ability to judge talent.

Offence is a mess. I don't have much hope with our current roster. Defence can be moderately fixed through better coaching but an influx of talent is needed there as well. Bridges to the PR should have been done 3 games ago.

I'd take a DL of garbutt, fox, adams and person over what we have now... without question. Thomas at his best was a rotational piece and his best is long gone, Jefferson used to be one of the very best but he no longer is, vaughters is fine and Lawson is fine but they're not exactly game breakers either. This idea that oshea is just the beat at building a roster is laughable. Not to say Booch has it all right or anything like that, but oshea has some blindspots when it comes to roster usage. That's been demonstrated for over a decade now.

to be honest Fox looked good in B.C too....but you hit nail on the head....the dline works in unison and just 1 or 2 crap guys getting moocho reps can make the others look inferior... Part of our problem is not recruiting legit studs...or targeting FA proven studs because we had this belief that for most part what we had in the middle was good...and clearly a few of them are not...and it impacts the others who are That being said...we are doing some mixing and matching and moving guys around...off roster...and on...and this is good and well done staff....see..I will applaud and give props where and when due...as well as call out things too which look to be hindering us Now......let's work on the coaching aspect with what's the best Defensive roster we have put out there this yr....use them in the best possible way and see how that shakes out...and show the ability to adjust and make changes on the fly On offence.....fingers crossed there...not sure what the plan is gonna be but I hope Jackson has had a lot of input

He hasn't had the consistent surge he had prior to his injury, and he seems to be blowing up with more than a few reps in a row. I'm optimistic he will get to where he needs to be, but I would've hoped he'd be where he is now, at the start of the season. In run plays he hasn't been able to disrupt gaps as much as he has and should. In the pass game, when he's rested, he can drive his man into the qb, but he isn't able to flatten guys with his bull rush so far. But we are paying him top dollar, and I don't think he could take the top volume of snaps or provide what he did in the past. Perhaps korny sitting is a good sign that his cardio is getting back where it needs to be. ACL recoveries always take longer for the explosivity to come back, especially for a 300lb Dt.

Well, I am surprised.....on paper the defence looks good...glad teh Parker at safety experiment is finished...all things I have heard is that Kramdi is a very smart x/o guy....I am hoping this leads to improved communication. I think Griffen will look really good. Not sure in J.Jones will see many reps but I feel if he does he may be really hard to keep off....I liked what the d-line did with some more rotation, would like to see them build on last week.... On offence....yikes....let's hope Loften is ready.....interesting that Cooley came on...unless he was "potentially being scooped" of the PR this is an interesting move.....We seem to have two really good possession guys in Corcoran and Clercious, but Stearns, Demski and Wheetfall are IMO not number 1 targets......so, an underwhelming group overall.....Kinda unfortunate Strev. didn't get "real reps" due to air quality....OK so what did Mitchel do...or not do...yikes something going on there.....Let's just let Brady and possibly Cooley eat......

Adams may be playing the best out of a well below average DL interior for sure. That's not the point I am trying to make. Watching Sayles make a dud like Fox look good is what our DL should look like if we were properly recruiting talent around here. Look, Garbutt, Fox, Adams etc may be better than Thomas or Lawson, not arguing that, but they are all substandard. If we are going to flip ratio to get an IMP snaps the Bombers need to bring some guys in that actually move the needle when they get in. This is no longer a problem of who the best is on our roster, it's a problem of none of our guys measuring up. That is a far bigger problem and one that the GM needs to correct.

Very good speed for a 285+ lbs Dt. Average jumping ability for the linemen in his draft pool. All of his speed/agi test results are in that range. Excellent hands, though, good route runner from what I've seen. Looks like a guy who is smart enough to beat zone and help his QB when flushed. So, probably a decent upgrade. And now I'm sad. Depth at wr is bad, and starting talent at wr is bad. I don't think this wr core is worse than the worst we saw last year, but I think it's getting close.

I thought Lawson has been great push up the middle.

Biggest issue is that the only depth at receiver is Cobb... that seems like playing with fire. Kramdi at safety is maybe a concern but maybe his brain will help get the assignments right? I dunno. Tbd. Lot of the non-injury changes I am fine with.

Depth chart

Think Stoddard....

Hallelujah. Guy has been terrible.

Fox has been the best run-stopping DT in the league. He and Sayles have worked extremely well together. How many pressures does he have and has he generated? Adams has been our best DL by far outside of person last game. Lawson has underperformed. He hasn't looked 100% yet this year. Adams requires lots of polish still but he's after it on every snap and is responsible for creating or providing half our pressures.

Am I wrong or is Corcoran a guy with good hands, not great speed, solid possession receiver?

The CFLPA has air quality guidelines that dictate the matter. It's not up to the teams.

Hogan, those WRs, the OL, idk take your pick lol. I'm worried about Hogan. He really needs to start showing something, and it isn't going to be made easy for him. I'd love to see Jjones get used well, I'd like to think that will happen. Hard to find a reason to be optimistic for it, though. Would make way more sense to use Jones the way they tried to use ayers, and let ayers play his poisition for sure.

yeah agree on the Kramdi.....Our achilles heal tho on offence I think is Hogan...Hopefully Jackson has had a lot of input and is creating ways to utilize who we have on....but man that receiving group....worst in league in some time.... I would hope smart minds would realize more usage of J.Jones is a good thing....we shall see....I could see him off edge in some sets with the 3 other ends tho...he is a good blitzer and has shown knack to get sacks and pressures in T.O AGREED...HAPPY with the defensive sie...hopefully they use them appropriately...and use this to find the right mix and schemes...a couple more small tweaks and we could become dominant again Offense...eeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....Hope we have cooked something up that compliments what Strev can do well...and play off that

At least the staff are making roster change choices instead of 'standing pat'. I am good with it... even if it means working though the players until the mix works. This shows growth, and a willingness to adapt. We may not be happy with some of the changes - but at least it is a move in the right direction!

hey a win is a win...scratch and bite if we have to...I think the defense now ho may actually take games over with the talent now all on....Makonzo for Ball soon I hope....Maybe Woods for Ayers and we could be cooking kinda agree...not gonna scare anyone and be a big play threat and we already have a Clercius who is the same kinda guy...so a bit redundant but I guess when u have no depth...and choose to not even try a guy who has been impactful before thats what you get...Corcorran has shown he can catch As long as he is able to stay high and read whats going on...be over the top help and not bite on fake runs he may be alright there....He was killing us in coverage before, and tackling in space....so play smart...crash down when needed (which he does well) could be his calling there

That's a spicy meatball! More change than I was expecting. Kramdi to S, I like this idea. He's a downhill guy, not a strong man-to-man cover guy. The question will be if his instincts to get into positions to make plays translates to S, and if he will continue to struggle to finish plays. Boom or bust guy at S. Either he's going to put fear into WRs and make a bunch of plays on the ball or he's gonna fail to pick up deep guys. I find Griffin to Sam and Parker to cornerback, odd. Parker was very good at sam here in the past, and Griffin is very good at picking up and carrying guys deep. I like the switch. Griffin should excel in most positions. Idk about Parker on the corner. I think he is a couple of games from running out of leash. Vaval, still, the DI KR is odd. Especially with Cobb on the roster. I like the guy, but he's drowning. He needs to sit imo. Happy Jones is on, but I don't think he will see a single defensive snap. He should get some blitz plays, though, and passing situation plays especially. 7 lbers with ayers, 4 of whom are NI, for 2 spots. That is an egregiously bad use of roster flexibility. Boy, that WR core is UGLY. Lofton at LT worries me, especially since its his first game in week 9. I like Cooley, but boy, I don't feel like Hogan will use him well. Glad Chase is in, and Zach is sitting. I'm optimistic for the D, and intrigued. I'm worried about how much of our imp roster flexibility is tied up in a few spots that won't see D/O reps. I'm really worried about the WR core, OL, and Depth. I think Corcoran at least has a chance to do something. I really worry, though, that we will continue to run flood concepts under the secondary, and the whole WR group is SLOW af. If the opposition secondary is going to be faster, they can't get gifted leverage. I'm worried the Argos will just be running downhill, making plays on our WRs/the ball.
