I agree, Eli has to win the job and he clearly has not done so.

I hope we just go for pedestrian returning first game while Logan is out and save that DI spot for a guy on defence to show what he has to be honest If I was a betting man all of Bonds..Nichols..Holm..Parker..Griffin and Bridges will be on roster...how used is another question....I truly figured somebody would have supplanted bridges spot tho...may still...Best bet it be Allen one would think as he showed the most Dream world would have Ayers..J.Jones and Woodbey as import backers to go with Shay..Smith..Gauthier..Cadwaladder..Novack...as those 4 Canadians would be huge on temas and we know Gauthier can take defensive reps and sure Shay and Smith will get some opportunities...but don think ratio wise we can do that with 3 imports unless we take away from elsewhere...which would be dline and dont like that thought

Seems like it. I'm very curious to see how the roster shakes down for week 1. Is Griffin staying at Dime as a DI? If he does, who is going to KR? How are we going to work the imp Lbers? Week 1 bye sucks as a fan lol.

Yeah basically Parker is a vet...he knows whats up from down...and good choice as if an injury occurs at a half...corner...or SAM he easily slides in any of those spots and we drop a guy into safety I guess they going the old familiar with Bridges to start, and if he just not cutting it...they tweek?

Jacked that it's cam mainly at DT. I get rolling with Parker despite limited PS play/success, he's done a lot in the past, even in limited reps. I don't get what we see in bridges. But we always start out with a guy or two like him that gets swapped out after a few weeks. Not that he's awful, he isn't rock cartwright or tyquwan glass. Just maybe this years version.

I think Eli will remain a backup until the next best Natl. O-lineman displaces him. This pre-season clearly illustrated he's never likely to become a starter, couple of times every game he allows the guy he's blocking to waltz right by him and lay a solid lick on the QB. It's hard to gain trust when the QB is always worried about his backside.

"Cam Lawson at DT with Thomas & Schmekel sitting out.

Literally that person should lose their vote for being completely unserious.

First practice of the regular season is today. Out with the old and in with the new. Time to get it started.

https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/college-soccer-player-chase-stegall-20-found-dead-in-dorm/ Looks like Chase had a bad seizure in February....

I'd say 1900 % lol

Allows the cover team to be and secure lanes too...and limit the spots for a returner to pick as his seam Also...that returner gets the ball and can instanlty head straight up field unabated for 10..15 yards before first level of coverage guys are even close..let alone set up in their scheme Ryan had no touch or placement and generally out kicked his coverage...NFL...NCAA punting is a totally different game and a high hang time and distance guy thrives...same would happen here if a guy can bang it...with good hang time allowing coverage time to get there...or even have a 5 yard halo established...how many big returns do you see happen when guys are respecting the halo...not very many...if any

Don't know, but increased hang time also allows the returning team more time to get orientated and set up their blocking lanes versus a low level missile that half the returners don't even see, which adds confusion. Jon Ryan had the best hang time and distance of all punters, he wasn't highly valued when he returned from the NFL and it seems Sask. moved on from him fairly quickly in favour of an Aussie punter.

Nathan Rourke actually got one vote for #1 on the top 50. As in best player in the league. What are the chances it was Farhan?

IF we are keeping our punter, because he kicks a nice knuckle ball, that is hard to field, then how come when it is fielded it's run back for great yardage...IF his knuckle ball is so great it's sure as hell isn't very consistent or working well....Most opposition returners are catching it clean and taking it up field with pretty good success....I don't buy the knuckled ball theory...We are going to continue to give up good field position due to an inferior punter and it needs to be corrected ....BINGO.................................

yeah he musta got some of the easiest INT's in a long time....dude several times was just standing in space and had ball hit him right in his chest...wasn't from extraordinary plays on the ball I used to rag on Holm but he busts up plays...tho I still dont like his physicality or tackling.....but if he had any hands at all he's have had Milligan int numbers but he has 2 stones for hands...but breaks up a lot...Nichols too....if he got the volume...he'd get the picks....The fact that fall past the brainiacs like the TSN gang is that Milligan gets targeted a lot....same with Houston....yeah they will get picks....but also burned a lot and give up lotsa plays in front of them

Definitely. Milligan was burned a ton in coverage all year but had a ton of interceptions from QBs throwing the ball right into his chest. He wasn't taking balls away in coverage like Ford did, he just happened to be standing in the right spot at the right time for a tip from the DL, or an errant throw.

I see more teams with more prototypical punters...even some the globals...and guys who can bang the ball...as well as at times toss in a funky kick....Punter guy is exclusive funky crap...and the return results against since he took over show the results...not good is being given a spot...or major reps winning tho?...I have to disagree there....he ain't...and a few others aren't outright winning anything other than Osh's man love and bias In my experience for mostpart leaning toward what a ceratin player may like....isn't the best way to go about it talent wise...as with a coach who has his likes....and it trumps talent/usefulness Letting a player dictate that whats and why's....is not a good scenario...input influence a bit... sure Teams use exclusively them because it was force fed mandated to them to have a global...and for the most part other than the rare occurrence most dont have any business really being on a roster...so a punter is the easier one to intigrate onto the roster...We should just roll with Castillo as doing them all as he is a better punter in my opinion...

Is Milligan Ed Gainey 2.0?

Milligan had a season where everything went his way. To think he can duplicate what he did in 2024 or be even better is absurd.

Castillo has been good with any holder...I can see that being a factor but not in this case...and Ideally I'd rather have a QB or a receiver doing it to be honest One of Evans punts in game 2 was just fine....I thought he had only the 1....even if he shanked one...Punter guy shanks several a game...and propencity for big returns with what he tries to do Regardless I wont lose sleep over it...used to poor roster decisions so it it was it is...I more curious as to how we get the apparent talent on the field and if Osh has the plums to sit a vet...or 3....and if guys do get on roster...how they will be used...thats more my concern....

7.5 at his age for what he did? Jesus. Ehlers gonna get a boat load. See you later nik.

There’s prob something to the not preferring hang time theory.

your untrained eye see's it just fine
