yeah but Houston doesn't qualify as a bomber vet as he's only played 2 games for us this year. As far as the depth chart, I think OShea just lists JT as a starter to piss off people on this forum.

Apparently he had surgery that removed part of his colon, leaving him with a ;

For most Blue Bomber fans, the frustration comes from losing games (including Grey Cup games) when a few obvious changes would have won those games but our head coach was too damned stubborn to make those changes.

100% this. Nobody really talks about how good the Bills had to be in order to go to 4 straight Super Bowls - they just talk about the Bills losing those games because at the end of the day, that's what matters.

We do but apparently he hasn't genuflected enough yet.

how was 24 not a blown oppourtunity? The rival team's starting QB broke his leg the game before and they started a scrub. O'shea had horrible roster management and decisions. Again, self-inflicted.

Except O’Shea has repeatedly said his veterans don’t need to practice.

Parker is gonna get hurt again anyways. He plays a game then gets hurt. The cycle repeats. Personally I think he’s been terrible even when healthy and I’d be dressing Houston also because past history suggests Parker will be injured again. Plus Houston is just better than Parker. I get they like JP. He stuck around when hurt and immersed himself into learning the playbook and all sorts of other stuff, they like him, it’s a nice story there, overcoming being out a year really but unfortunately he’s not good enough anymore. He’s looked lost when playing. Go back Early season he was not good at all, corners sucked until basically Houston and Lawson jr were brought in. Parker played corner a few games. Wasn’t an upgrade.

how about he missed too many practices this week, and they thought Parker would be better prepared.

Maybe the family issue Houston thought was good when he came back, turned and he had to leave again? Not necessarily a conspiracy or underlying concern.

Besides the clusterfuck that was Legg’s 2022 season, I’d argue we did have the lineup to win in 2022. Couple drops by the WRs, missed XP, blocked field goal and that bloody godamn interception by Prukop was what ruined it.

Likely O'Shea and the old "cant lose your job to an injury" garbage mantra.

Oh wow, really strange they’d take him off then. I can’t see an on field reason for it, he’s been great.

ugh...wtf

Kinda weird. This was from Ed Tait's article a couple days ago: Of note from today: CB Demerio Houston was back in Winnipeg after missing two days with what he called a ‘family emergency.’ “Luckily the team was able give me that time to be with my family,” said Houston. “Now I’m back and ready for this upcoming game. “… I know home is good and that’s the reason why I’m back. I’m just worried about making sure I do whatever it is I need to do to help the team win this weekend.”

Streveler

If we'd lost those grey cup games by just getting beaten (like last year) that's one thing, but when you lose the previous 2 because you put a suboptimal lineup out there it is much much harder to take.

Houston is listed as out. Only explanation for that is he’s still dealing with his family emergency. Nothing else would make sense, he’s been playing very well.

Plus minus just means ppl were changing. Like you watch them play and they are slow and make stupid plays. Plus minus is irrelevant in this, honestly how it works is let’s say CSV on ice, V goes to change and the other team scores the moment V changes and Nino lets say gets on the ice, well Nino gets the minus eventho he literally just stepped on the ice.

Fair enough. I feel better now. Im not a huge Houston fan but he has been excellent. Hope he gets back in when he's back.

Apparently Houston missed some practices due to a family emergency. He's not even listed on the depth chart so I would assume he's still dealing with that.

Dumb. The best game from your secondary in forever and you make changes that dont need to be made. Stupid decision but that is nothing new from O'Shea.
