Seems to me this is a linebacker who is thinking about it in terms of who is going to be more elusive. Brady isn't that elusive, he'll just run you over.

I’m hoping that Zach can adjust his game to take what the defense gives him and not make every second throw a deep pass. Clearly he’s lost some arm strength so becoming more like at Yrvor Harris isn’t a bad thing at this point.

Brady does all that despite the defence knowing this is going to happen and keying in oh him. Not the same for Rankin or Mills.

Let's hope Oliveira uses that quote as motivation & runs cleat marks up & down Allen's body. These linebackers are always so yappy. They just can't shut up. .

putz...I think he over rated as well...decent but not the start many make him out to be BO gets the ball a lot...yeah cause he gets it done...and like you said...best avg yards per carry...yards after contact..etc....You have a workhorse bell-cow back...you use him. The others don't get used as much because.....well they don't get it done as consistently...it's as simple as that

Yeah, thats the only thing the clown had to say about Oliveira, "They give him the ball a ton". Yeah we do, and he still leads the league in yards per carry every freaking year(including last season). He also talks about how Rankin and Mills are so powerful and love contact, meanwhile Oliveira leads the league every year in yards after contact, and game in game out runs over guys like they owe him money. I love all these CFL.ca rankings where we continually get disrespected. Keep it up assclowns. Cant wait to punch the league in their collective cocky mouths.

Allen counts down his top five running backs to play against in the CFL.When explaining what makes Brady Oliveira special and why he’s been included in the linebacker’s rankings, Allen only had one thing to say. “They give him the ball a ton,” laughed Allen.

Tell me more...

Did you see AJ Allen rate the RB’s lmafao. Talk about rage…

It wasn't a loss - they walked away. Discretion is the better part of valor afterall!

They are gonna keep cutting Kornelson until they get it right. I retired 5 times until I go it right.

Collaros is not only fighting other teams but also the clock (obviously). He may be able to forestall the inevitable, but no way to tell when he will lose the battle. Bombers already lost a Battle today.

Ayers can play DE on paper but not in reality. I'm going to be pissed when we keep Ayers and Kyrie on the roster at the expense of other positions.

I didn't see enough of Gautkouth or Bailey to say how they compare, but based on precedent, my guess is we will probably have Willy, Lawson, Ceresna and Jenkins, and two or three "rotation pieces" Ayers as one and one or two of Gautkouth. Kornelson or Bailey as the second and third. I would say a slim chance an import like Dixon displaces one of Gautkouth, Korn or Bailey if/when we go to a 7 DL roster.

Tall ask but any good true fb’s out there who can cut a swathe for BO while also having butter for hands to catch things out in the flat AND be another option for short yardage?

Yeah, those are among my thoughts as well. I am leaning towards Kelly as the odd man out and Stuart in for ST work and versatility. Munier-Bailey is an asset. Gatkouth makes the roster almost by default. I like the idea of Jenkins and Dixon both on the roster. What this means for Fletcher or Young is probably PR to start the season?

The thing guys like Ayers and Woodbey have that I think gives them a leg up is versatility to play other positions. Woodbey is essentially a DB. Ayers is a sp teams demon and can play DE in a pinch but prob best at LB. JY doesn’t seem to value the DL as much as say Hall did. JY don’t really run that traditional D. Lots of rotating and versatility required. And we know sp teams is important to O’Shea so Ayers likely has a spot as does Woodbey jones and Kyrie. If JSK was healthy then you have a decision but I think in a JY D ( junkyard dog) the versatility matters. I think if you don’t dress the 4th LB it’s either jones or kyrie who sits because of lack of versatility. I dunno about jones. All his tackles are after yards gained.

Was it Clinton or Cretsinger that had the pic 6? I thought it was Cretsinger. We're likely to retain 1 or more on the PR anyway. Didn't we have a defensive player that had a scoop and score in pre season last year only to get released? He was in the right place at the right time against a back up QB. So he gets some credit and perhaps more than immediately obvious. Hard to say, but we do need extras on the PR and those 2 are ahead of Addison IMO. To some degree it also depends on whether we bump K. Wilson and or Ayers from the game roster. If they are here on reserve or 1 game IR, then less need for 2 many LB's on the PR.

with our Canadian linebackers...Kelly...possibly Stuart for more ST work than anything we don't really need to DI a LB per say, and we can also roster 2 import DT's...we have before and save for the last 2 yrs of roster stupidity should easily be able to....If Bailey and Gatkouth show they can be used in rotation then we may just roster 1 import end, seeing as Ceresna can play off edge. But I'd like to see us dress just Ceresna as no import DT showed anything, and have both Jenkins and Dixon on roster, as Dixon can easily slide inside, and also a WJ..Dixon..Ceresna..Jenkins front in some sets would be a real headache for opposing offences...And a 4 man base of Lawson and Ceresna in the middle and any 2 of WJ/Jenkins/Dixon/Bailey/Gatkouth is light yrs ahead of anything we put out there the last 2 yrs...and would easily look 2019'ish There not gonna be room for all of Wilson/Jones/Woodbey/Ayers on active roster. Only way we can do that is if we go with the belief that one of Ball..Kelly...Stuart or Hallett is trusted at safety and an injury to a DB we slide Kramdi to SAM and shift Griffin to DB as he can play all the spots...and well. The one guy who may be the odd man out and 1 gamed all yr is Allen unless he grabs the corner job

AND its exactly what I seen in camp...plus not uber athletic either...hard pass...I wouldnt even PR him as he doesnt serve any use as a returner option...or would be worth spit on cover's for ST...

Vaval looked terrible early on though, so most guys look better at this point lol. His turnaround from awful to amazing was pretty shocking. Singer looked good returning kickoffs, but imo he struggled with punts. Seemed to struggle to track the ball and let a few bounce.

Absolutely. Just now room for it and it handicaps the roster
