And most of our guys are way on the wrong side of 30 too.

we are rolling 6 dl with 3 canadians. every other team is rolling 8+ with 6 or more imps, except for one team with a very good canadian pass rusher. We are the only team under rostering dl, and filling half the spots with fringe roster guys. truth. a couple people on here are soo lost in cognitive dissonance from their unwavering faith in the mafia doing no wrong and the fact we have been at best a fringe play off team for two years, outside of the insanely flukey stretch streak last year.

And last years defense was much much better than this years...

we knew what we had in Adams and Woods as mentioned they played all of last year, so if they aren't good enough then why didn't we do anything about it? I think we only brought in 1 additional dt at training camp. We haven't added anyone to our practice roster t

Look at top 3 teams...winning record teams Rotate 7 to 9 guys up front...90 % American...all can play...dominate Look at Superbowl and how why Philly dominated Our 2 cup wins...T.O schooling us...all in common...legit front loaded import dlines...Not a coincidence Look our 3 losses...and our season to date...osh still can't figure it out

He doesn't get it...don't waste your breath Probably?? U just confirmed you are bordering on clueless

If Adams and woods were some superstar DL sure but they aren’t. Ppl need to accept and admit that, they aren’t great. Are they better than Jake? Probably but we all know Jake would still be getting more reps so really, they don’t want to use the DL like some of you want the DL to be used, they don’t want 8 or 9 DL dressed like most of us do. So I don’t even see the point in even talking about it honestly. Yeah they start 9 Canadians, I know. We all know. That isn’t gonna change just cuz it’s repeated 50 times online. Adams got less reps than Jake. That’s what they think about him. It don’t matter what you think, you are just a fan, our opinions are irrelevant.

You realize adams was already on with Thomas...and we dressed both together last yr to eh? Woodbey superseded Ayers...so there's one swap...Vpool as well off could count for another..we dont need 3 cdn DT even with no adams and Woods...or Jones J.Jones could of replace a questionable Kyrie...or even T.Jones...and we'd be better either way Talk bout someone who can't see forest thru trees on how you could re-jig the roster You like like yip yap and critique and off hand others on here repeatedly...yet fail to see the stupidity in some the things you suggest...some with no bearing or fact based support whatsoever We don't know if we have weakest..but yeah far from the best...but they better than our cdn ones...who are without a doubt worst in league save for Lawson...and easily can be argued worst in league in some time...any reps with none of the 2 on the field makes us instantly better...

we are starting 9 canadians. we could go down plus use the naturalized rule. We also have ayers who doesn’t play D and isn’t a DL, and we have 3 back up imp dbs. wouldn’t be hard to rebalance the line to stick in a couple more imps even into the starting line up.

Ok... so do it. Ayers comes off for one easy. Upgrade DL performance. Does it impede special teams? Maybe but enough to sacrifice the play of the defence which is on the field much much more... doubt it. Put Jones in for either Jones or Wilson I don't really care, neither one are difference makers at this point. Want to ride ourselves of Jake? Well we drafted some linebackers this year, let them play and bam we got the other American linebacker off and have a much stronger DL.

Your past actions tho also give a pretty clear mindset that you’re a closer rider fan and that you can’t see the Forrest through the trees. You and a few others have become so biased against O’Shea that you look for every little thing that isn’t there and Make mountains out of molehills. People now acting like pro athletes don’t play through injuries in every sport. It’s just ridiculous. Neil pionk of the jets played with a broken foot, guess Bowness at the time was an arrogant prick, wheeler played through a nut injury, Maurice is such an arrogant prick. Dudes on the Argos playing through injuries right now, Dinwiddie is a prick so is Buck in bc and Dave in Calgary and Cory in Regina cuz every team has players playing through injuries after week 1.

Jones Adams and Woods would take out 3 current Americans on the roster. Jake Thomas ain’t taken off so woods can come on. Woods is American. It really isn’t as simple as they play. If those 3 play, 3 current Americans on the roster come off. Jake stays on cuz honestly our Canadian depth is garbage. I really don’t see Adams or woods being that dominant that they make a difference. Adams is a guy I want to like but he really hasn’t done lots as a pro. He’s just average really. We have the weakest American DTs in the league.

"Go fill up those water bottles and put some air in those footballs!"

“Jones! Adams! Woods!” ”Yes coach!” ”As you were… settle down now” 🤬

Dustin Crum... ...on a plunge after an endzone PI call.

Edmonton / Toronto is game of the week this week. two midseason renaissances collide. who to pick? 🤷 (edited after picking) wow, 50/50 so far on Elks/Argos. Everyone is over the Bombers and apparently Crumback 2.0 was a fluke.

I'm a realist...and based on the last few yrs...and continuation this....I expect if we make the playoffs it's as a cross over team And this can almost maybe construed as a bad and unfortunate thing....Cause if T.O doesnt get in 1st or 2nd....we could actually smoke and mirror our way to the Cup only to again lose cup...in our own barn...in the visitor dressing room of all places....and be validation and more lipstick on a pig for what Osh does/did....and get him resigned If we sqweek in there...I actually feel confident we can take out both the Cats and Als....tho tomorrow night may make me re-assess that

Yea thanks, things have gotten better for sure but two things come to mind right away with football violence, Kickoff returns and what's going on in those short yardage/goal line piles. Yikes!

status quo tho....hard to develop and assess a guy running skelly and then miming other teams defences wearing numbered pinnies in practice.... you have to think other teams pre game meetings the night before look at some our charts and have to be like saying...wtf you thinking Osh....Or just laughing.....

before High shots and head hits were almost coached....if not applauded....times have changed abd for the better.....but back in the day many a player/team looked to knock guys outta the game....within the grey constriants of the rules...But the change is good As for this claim guys right after the play diving at his knees...thats a pile of B.S and coming from a player in a position who has a big part of their game consist of knee and shin diving as a tactic....shutthafuckup I recall a defensive coach telling us when we in pursuit and having to hurdle guys on ground that he better see a kick in the ribs or we would hear about it.....and if you saw a hand on the ground it better get stepped on.... always told us "let em know your there" Oh how things have changed....funtimes tho Metal buckles on the snaps of your helmet for your chin guard....filed to a knife edge for cutting....literal gladiator type stuff....and the obscene stuff in the piles for shirt yardage....tho that still goes on now a bit but nit as criminal as it was before

sure doesn’t show any urgency to try and make the play offs down the stretch. I can’t imagine the cats prep meeting looking at that chart.

For the people who played/coached football at a high level, I'm assuming they'd have a perspective on what's allowable/tolerated and what's not allowable when it comes to football violence because it's a violent sport.
