I'd like to see him in a game but what he might bring is wishful thinking we see early in most seasons. I understand what he might bring in those types of play calls on offence. I also understand that eliminating a downfield receiver brings the defence closer to the LOS. That's a concern even above what it does with the ratio. It's not like we can't do those things with Peterson. Being able to rotate him with a slot is not the same as replacing him with a RB on every down.

Ford outplayed Streveler? They've never faced each other. That's a crappy take, c'mon. I haven't seen Ford outplay anyone. He relies on his athleticism & not his brains. Wait till he blows out his knee or achilles. Unfortunately, with his style of play, it's coming. Hey, has Tre Ford got his NFL pension like Streveler? Just asking...

I would rotate Cooley with a slot. I’d have him run screens, motion plays, and block instead of big Kev. He hasn’t had much reps pass catching or blocking but he showed a real aptitude for it. I would also have him return kick offs with the punt returner and have him fielding punts in practice. He agreed not to and in exchange they gave him 1 game instead of 2. Really hate it, no precedent for these suspensions. Yep. Plus, in a league where every one is trying to run variations of the same offence, going against the grain can be a huge advantage. Defences today struggle with run fits against one rb, that’s part of why jet motion is soo effective. You are already pulling a db or two into the fits, now you can force the 3rd best run stopping db to be in the front side of the run play. If you read / use zone to get a dl/lber out of the play good luck stopping Cooley and Brady.

Yeah i dunno what happened but it really seemed like buck got dumb last year.

Geez confirmed concussions for Milligan and Ouellette on Thursday and they are practicing on Tuesday.

Yeah. From zachs off season comments especially. But we also saw a few other signs. Last year mid season ish zach commented about having the play call go too long in the head set at times, which we saw on field frustration from him a few times as well. Covering his ears, hurry up signal to buck on the play call, buck coming down out of the booth during the losing streak etc. for guys like Buck and zach it was just about every red flag you’ll see.

Who won the cup ? Lol...im just poking fun...but who knows...who cares? How many teams wasted a DA on a useless import fullback in history? I can't think of....one...regardless u can have a player play a diff position than what he technically listed as or came into league as..we do it constantly on defence...how many teams field a ser with literally 8 dbs at times...how'd that work out for us...pretty good id say for most part

It was that's why it's not 2 games.

Mills - RB from Calgary please

I've been out of touch for a while but I have a question about Collaros and his suspension. Why has his suspension not been appealed?

How many snaps did the entire league play last season with 2 tailbacks on the field? I'd be surprised if it was more than 100 and probably 90 of them were Toronto. Castillo, Griffin (DB), D Mitchell, American LB/DL

Cooley iff in as the "5th" would have no impact on BO whatsoever...and they could be lined up in tandem outta backfield And you dont know until you try...but nobody other than our starters from last yr..Wheatfall and the guy they ct...Hall showed much of anything...Cooley showed the most of anyone...has right attitude...is hungry and can catch and run....so create schemes to suit your players as opposed to forcing stuff on them that doesnt work or take advantage of thier skills That's what I like about Jackson being here...he does that...and thetalk and optimism for Hogan and him doing such stuff too...is the perfect environment to do it....we have 4 recievers who are gonna get bulk of the passes...the 5th guy....likely not...but a guy like Cooley who you can incorporate in swings..screens...motions...misdirections with others...actually running....thats a nice piece to an offence

doesn't matter how many Canadian starters are on defence if they only declare having to have 1...thats kinda moot If they can roster 3 oline guys...Demski..Clercius and BO there is your 7 right there with Kramdi....that is part of the frustrating part of so much Thomas last yr...and way too much Thomas and Schmeck at the same time...making our defensive front piss poor for no reason other than ....Osh's man crush on middling Canadian players...Same with Hallett coming in on the times we dropped 9 guys off...Burned pretty much incessantly...pretty sure an import DB or use of an LB that was DA'd on roster....Cole/Ayers would have been a better option We at times ...and no offence to Canadians fielded way more than needed...and it didnt make us better by any stretch for it. when we didnt need to...didnt give us our best possible guys on field doing it.....can do dame this yr....6 on offence and 1 again on defence...If Neif is actually gonna miss the Vanterpool makes sense, tho have a hard time thinking one of Wallace or Eli couldnt step in...been here long enough and if they not trusted to actually step in...why they here? yeah...not sure what happened with Buck but u could see it...and I sense he was a bit stubborn perhaps?...dunno but thanks for the prior work but good riddance

Would you expect Cooley to rotate with a receiver or Oliveria? Again the point is that if Cooley is a DI we lose one import on defence. I don't see the trade off in taking out Vaval or any other defensive player to get Cooley on as a DI. IDK. Maybe Cooley is everything some posters think he might be. Too small a sample and none of it against 1st string defenses.

You can see some of it on the bombers yt, mos was asked about it and commented a bit in his usual way.

Friction? Based on that. I’m generally curious. I have listened to Hogans interviews and what O’Shea has had to say about Hogan and I’m impressed with his mindset and philosophy. Now that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s going to be the next hot shot coordinator, but it doesn’t give me reason to understand why the Bombers brass are so high on him and why he got the opportunity to run the offense.

Do you have a link for those Clercius quotes?

plugged the toilets at TD Place stadium?

Interesting to hear big Kev talk about how much better this years play book is compared to last. Especially from a year 2 guy. Seemed to be a lot of friction between Buck and the offence last year. Zach had a few eye raising comments in the off season about relationships with oc position and expectations. Similarly, Jackson’s comments about his relationship with zach, and how he views coaching QBs (not micro managing) sounds like a lot of his hiring was that fit both with hogan as an ast but also with the room.

Last year was last year and we often started 9 Canadians. For game 1 we're probably down to 7. If Kelly and Mazonko weren't injured I'd be ok without a DB as a DI. That plus he was getting the work as the returner. Others had some reps but he was getting the most. It doesn't guarantee that sticks but I'm guessing it does until Logan returns. Noting that our early season returns were not that good and musical chairs. Vaval played a lot at DB in pre-season and practice. It's debatable whether we need him as a DB but a fair argument / question. Posters seem to get excited about a new RB they want on the AR. Maybe Cooley is that guy, but is he a better option than any of the 3 receivers ( excluding Schoen ). Yes, it's a possibility but I'd be surprised. I see Lofton confirmed as out but Neufeld is now questionable. That changes things possibly both LG and RG. Vanterpool might have been choice 1 at LG ( still might be ). Who lines up where is now flip a coin. 3 import OL means we lose that extra import on defence. Still curious who you think are the 2 other DI's, with or without Vaval on the AR as a DI assuming one of the starting receivers does the returns.

Pretty sure Neufeld was not on the list yesterday. So make sense we are starting 3 American OLs..

And it's just one guy with ivermectin, leeches and ether...

They'd go 5 and 2. So your 5 Canadian starters with Corcoran, Peterson, Cobb, Chris-Ike and your extra OL as backups. 2 Canadian defensive players need to be on field every snap. So it's not too bad. They could use K Wilson or Jefferson as DNA's and sub them in for one of those Canadian spots 25 snaps too.
