yup...auditioning on the fly so to speak and by mid/last 3rd of season see who the go to main 3 will be, and have some serious solid depth who have played all yr...been clamouring for that for 2+ yrs....its a need to do thing curious to see how they use Fletcher...I assume same way as Dixon as both built to be outside and inside guys...If he shows real good...which I expect he will...Having both him and DIxon on roster would be huge, and WJ and Cersena will eat all yr...and Jenkins can be allowed to just focus on getting better and fine tune his attack the QB technique Thats why I also hope Elsbury is auditioning too right now and gainig reps and when Eli is ready and 100 percent he gets a few games and then we go with the best...cause that Import spot easily allows us to dress all of WJ..Ceresna..Jenkins..Dixon and Fletcher to go with lawson and Gatkouth...That would make us a way better team than removing one the DL guys for an imoort center who is ok...but not amazing That group of dlineman being able to be fresh all game and offer varied looks will terrorize opposing offences

I stand by my theory that Younger is rotating guys outside the DL, particularly in the Lber crew, because the talent level among them is that darn close and since it is, why not give our aging backers both a rest and some competition nipping on their heels. If one of the young guys grabs a job by the onions that would be a bonus and something I'm sure that Younger is hoping for. Let's face it, if T Jones and KW are our plan beyond this year then we have some serious problems. Therefore, I think this year Younger is transitioning. Let the vets soak up reps while they are still useful, but if a young guy pushes one of them out, that would be the goal.

Yeah I would suspect Smith should see a lot of the field now, and Shay as well getting some work. I think Kelly was taking Smiths reps in the first game as Smith was pulled in the 1st quarter...well I hope...even better yet it better been the reason And I agree we tend to over rotate guys outside of the dline and I think it some ways it actually hurst the flow...let the guys who are on point that game stay on point and really get into a cohesive crew.....and then sprinkle in some diff looks personel wise...for most part a lot of what we do is the same look...just different guys in the role and in all honesty it isnt fooling anyone...if anything the teams seem to attack where we stuck a weaker player But on the positive its given depth/rotation guys valuable game resp when the game still matters....so if we do get in an injury pinch we know who can play, and wont feel the need to rush in less than 100 percent guys cause we actually have experienced depth that we know can play...

I think we are likely going with Texada over Kelly as well. Be interesting now that Smith is healthy if it translates into him and Shay taking on the Woodby role. I like the use of LBers thus far, although maybe a little too much rotation, but guys are seeing the field. With the heavy rotations we saw in game 1, it seems to me that Younger is looking for someone to step up and grab the job at a few positions. I like that. Ride the hot hand if one emerges.

I believe I'm in for at least 5... June against Ham, July 24/31, a mid Aug game, and Banjo Bowl... At minimum.

It's a discussion board where people dissect the game in their own way and share their diverse perspectives good, bad and/or indifferent.

good to hear Woodbey isn't a season ender...but a similar issues as to what took Biggie down a few years back...so hopefully all involved realize to let him totally heal up and not play as damaged goods like we did with Biggie and rendering him somewhat useless...Use thi opportunity while he gets 100 percent to get the youngsters in and valuable real game reps...not garbage time...will only strengthen our depth and roster

That could be an expensive piece of gum/zyn for her. Manitoba regulations list the maximum fine as being 10k.

100 percent...it's pro sports and if you dont like getting feelings hurt or criticized, or you dont have the onions to make the decisions that might do that to someone you need to step away...I still think it's a issue of Osh and Walters being too good of chums. And yes this yr Walter's did his part... jury out on Osh somewhat for the moment.....I am somewhat positive so far tho with the fact he brought Fletcher on to roster to accommodate loss of Dixon for a bit instead of promoting Korn is a very good...and smart thing to see....

I agree. MOS should not allow Younger to get too cute with his lineup, Walters should not allow OSH to play favorites, and OSH should be banging down the door asking for holes in his roster to be filled. Let's be clear at certain times over the past few years we have seen both Osh and Walters underperform. If this is a trinity, someone needs to step in when Walters takes a season off and kick his arse, or when Osh doesn't have the plums to take JT off the roster. I seriously think that Walters has been our biggest problem the past 2-3 years because he is supposed to be the bottom line, and coming out of the business world I've learned that you don't blame your employees for the mess because it is on you to make sure that doesn't happen. That being said it looks like Walters showed up to earn his pay cheque this year, now it's time for the coaches to make sure the work pays off. As much as we like to grouse about Jake Kelly taking a few practice reps, it seems that Osh's rostering looks better this year.

Perkins

yeah If he gives sole responsibility to a co-ord....then he needs to step in and say...nope...Maybe Younger isnt a bright mind like many think tho if that the case...Bottom line tho coaches may say who/what they would "like"...The HC tho should be able to see the pro's and cons and make final decision accordingly...If the best talent isnt there....and you have possibly better already here....then why bother playing inferior..and if you don't have the talent then you best be all over the GM's arse and tell him to get some Part of prob here at times is everyone is too buddy biddy and scared to step on toes or possibly offend someone...not a good trait

Younger picks his starting lineup. Was confirmed in two separate interviews. I agree that the bottom line falls to MOS though. Seems we've got our answer and it is Texada.

Nope, we must complain...it is imperative. Never mind that we were on the road in gale force winds...irrelevant.

@Noeller , you coming to any games at PAS this year?

This is definitely the point I was trying to make with my post Saturday morning. I was as angry as anyone with some of the shitty play we saw at times Friday, but at the end of the day, that's a graveyard for us for a very long time and the conditions were awful. Getting two points is, literally and figuratively, a huge win.

That's the million dollar question. If there's a player that either team would want and we were willing to part with, that team would still end up with a really good prospect at #8 and a proven player so it's the best of both worlds for them. They both have 2 first round picks this year too so they're in a really good position for the draft.

It used to be when it was on Main street- they moved locations and then the OG owners sold it. Its now middle of the pack with the new management.
