Ok, so we need to do what: 1. Upgrade at QB from Zach and Streveler. 2. Replace Kolo (poor play), Bryant (aging and no longer the best LT ever), Neufeld on the oline. 3. Find at least 2 quality starting American WRs 4. Upgrade at least one db spot, if not 2. 5. Improve our high end Canadian talent Am I incorrect? What am I missing?

You would excel at this.

We need Ayers to take up a DI spot for special teams despite also dressing a ton of Canadians (Shay, Smith, Hallett, Ball) to only play teams.

No Woods is stupid. You’d think with the secondary in the state it is they’d want as much pressure as possible from the DL

So Evans starts and Dukes is the backup. Now we just need some of their DL and LB’s to injure themselves before next week. 🤞

Is Houston even confirmed tho. Believe that’s a fan rumour. Is he actually here? Part of me doubts it.

MBT to the 6 Game, so the Als sign Cameron Dukes...

The team has been desperately in need of a reload and for the last 2 - 3 season have pissed away valuable opportunities for sprinkling in new guys. Unfortunately we are now in a situation where we need 1 - 2 guys in nearly every position to compete/replace stale players that are stale and decaying. This could have been avoided had they been proactive.

We are in year 15 of the development of Jake Thomas... any day now it will result in wins

Well gotta pay the bills, some guys maybe felt they took their shot and don't have the capacity to try again. You just never know. They brought back Lawson so that tells me they reached out to cuts before settling on Houston.

My guess would be Allen takes a lot of the reps Kelly got last game when they move people around.

Plus he’s a terrible DB. Are we a developmental team or are we trying to win?

I dont think we need a complete rebuild. We do need, urgently, to fill spots where we are weak obviously. Bonds spot, maybe safety, unless we can place the right person there. We do have some injuries right now, and poor depth to replace those players. Thomas on the DL, for example becomes further exposed. I dont think our O-Line is that bad, aside form the Center position which may be among the weakest in The CFL. This position as we all know, anchors the line, so that to me is the issue. Since a replacement is not forth coming, the Offensive Coaches must take a look at our beat up QB'S and design an Offense that allows them time to check down or get outside. Zach would be required to scramble more. Its tough. We are missing key receivers this year that hid our deficiencies in Zach's pass attack. Coaches should have seen this coming, but the players and Assistants really bailed O' Shea out the last few years. A couple of receivers would help us. I like many, thought Schoen and Mitchell would've been those guys. The Coaches thought so too. They guessed wrong. The thing is, that's their job. Not ours. I like many fans, watch the players to see who makes plays, and who doesnt. What do the Coaches see that we dont? Are Woods and Allen on the P.Q not as good as our starters? Lets find out. Allen played some Safety before the season started. This Coaching staff, and Management above are responsible for this, so knowing this is a home Grey Cup, what can be done to fix it, because the other teams in the league are not going to help us out.

I'm expecting a monster game out of Brown. It may rival Dunigan's 713 yard performance.

The cynic listening to booch fan in me wonders if Brady gets a bonus for TDs scored and they are very aware of this. And want to save money. Cuz this year Is about saving money. I mean then that’s on them right. Doubt a guy who wants to play pro football would say no but maybe.

No changes on O and 9 starting Canadians ( 8 if you don’t include MCI). Allen appears to be backing up Kramdi. Vaval starting. No other changes. Don’t need Thomas starting but there he is. 5 safety’s is insane. 3 won’t get a rep but then you think maybe take a guy off and put a guy on O but then you look and you see. Ok Cobb so what’s the difference. None are getting reps. But thought you could get a global on also so why not Bailey instead of one of the 3 Canadian safety’s who won’t play.

Vaval looks athletic as hell back there but needs some coaching up on technique for sure. Maybe JY can get him there.

he was on a few snaps early on...as saw him....but basically just taking up space...didnt do much and had zero impact Just a waste of a spot nah...thats no biggie...Be more concerned of it was a staring receiver....but lotsa guys have pulled double duty doing that before...not uncommon I just don't think he the best option tho this yr yet in the backfield....but maybe this is his chance and with reps and learning as he goes he gets better and better....thats how you develop young talent and let em earn their chops...Osh forced to do so as we really have nobody...only way we get new blood integrted...by season ender injury or a guy moves on....

Who can I jinx this time around... let's go with Justin Hardy.

Among other things, I really don't love Vaval playing corner and returning kicks... That seems like a recipe for mediocrity (at best) at two positions... Dude is gonna be gassed.

I don't think Ball was even playing on special teams last game from what I could tell. I could have missed him getting on for some snaps but I know he was on the sidelines for kick coverage late in the game.

That name calling definitely crossed the line. Good that you put him in his place. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2013/04/02/how-heroin-felled-a-hero An old article a couple of years before his death (Hopefully, there's no paywall.) A really sad story and a waste of a great talent. I had forgotten about Brown so I checked out his stats with the Bombers. It looks like he played 10 games in '73 and while not Herron-like was a solid player.

lol...pretty much..... Ball...Hallett.....Kelly...very redundant and really serves no purpose....only 1 should be getting any rotation on defense....the other 2 be better served with say Cobb as another back up receiver and returner....and give Bailey his shot....if he shows he has use as a rotation guy then thats a win....But Osh loves to roster under performing and irrelevant Canadians for whatever reason....Drop Thomas...Ball...Hallett for guys who may actually add something other than 2 guys getting 6 to 8 reps a game chasing down kicks would be nothing but beneficial...and Thomas' contributions...or lack there of
