I'd love for some of these guys to get on the roster but I don't hate the plan. We're going to have some injuries and these guys will play.

Some coaches, too.

Jon Jones is getting full pay to sit on the 1 game IR since June 11th, extended June 20th. He's not the only one, it appears they intend to abuse the hell out of it this season with that extra cash they did not spend.

That would be a smart move for the Argos and a major loss for the Bombers, but I do not see O'Shea moving to protect J. Jones.

I believe Younger dropped 9 a lot last year, going to be difficult scrambling all game for Ford.

yup....He may say no to that...as he knows he can play and then it's up to Osh as to what and who in "his opinion" is the better asset..now...and moving forward....and we all know how that will go As soon as T.Jones was signed to a 2 yr deal it was basically cemented that he was then strting MLB this yr regardless of what transpired in camp...That's his way of doing things and how we got ourselves into the depth issues and the near non-existent back-up plan or guys capable or trusted to step in when needed...and this yr....nothings changed

You can, but he has to agree to go on the IR. If hes not injured you cant make him go on the IR. Which is where he is, but he has to be updated roster wise this week.

That's the most frustrating thing... they know these guys are good players... but won't do anything to get them into the game.

if we tried to PR him he's have been gone in a heartbeat and starting somewhere else

Dang, forgot he was on the 1 game and not the pr. My bad.

I tend to agree with this. I wouldn't pressure much and effectively you'd have a spy with guys like Kramdi, Griffin and whoever else is on the field at LB. If Ford has to hit windows he has no chance. Let him run around in circles behind the line all day, just be patient. Jefferson basically always plays that way where he's reading the QB more than firing off to get to a spot in the backfield and hopefully he can be convinced to play with leverage to contain. When his head is in he can do that quite well.

Hate for him to ask for his release....Play me or set me free....

How? Trade for him?

Can't do it, they have him on the 1 game IR.

if that happens it is entirely your fault. Not really, but still I dont even want to think about it.

We know its going to be Wilson and T.Jones at linebacker. Now does Toronto try to poach J.Jones with their mlb hurt?

Logical works just fine yup.....not so much when we have an illogical HC tho.... If I was coaching I'd swap out T. Jones for J.Jones this game and use a lot of Ayers and Wilson...for all Wilson's bad points (age/abilty to stay healthy) he still is a great sideline to sideline LB and posses pursuit....I can see Ford making T.Jones look silly in space and him not being able to track him down with angles or just plain sprint to the sideline Healthy and available Wilson is still good, and I think he has played better over all than Jones too....he can do more anyway He should be a SAM or HB....He's so good....Bonds too was gonna mention in other thread...guy is legit good as well...and is super smart/aware out there...

I'm a big believer that Masoli is the next blue chip QB coach / OC prospect in the CFL.

Ayers would be a great fit, but Griffin, I like, would be wasted. He's too good at coverage. Broken record, I know, but I would try in practice using Shay/Smith in a rotating spy role. Not only can you use them as a spy, but you can put them in an intermediate zone, or cover hook/curl/flat stuff. That would also allow you to go with a full imp DL.

Masoli at least fulfills the role of mentor which Rourke could benefit from, Buck probably doesn't have time for that and they didn't hire a QB coach.

Same, and I do think it will be a good fit. From all accounts, Jackson and Zach have always had that mentor-mentee relationship. He's an excellent coach, and football mind, with them going so far back Im sure Zach will get the most out of it. Especially if he wants to keep playing past this year. He's going to be a great resource for Wilson and Strevy to.

Hopefully Jackson can fulfill that role, I believe he's the one that told Zach that Strev was playing the last 2 minutes of the game, not sure Hogan would suggest that. Either way, alternative thinking is helpful.

Ayers or Griffin are the logical choices.

time to feast on the Calgary D then...
