Another interesting guy is Jakobe clinton. He had that sick pick 6, and didn't do a lot else. But he's another very athletic tweener lber with great playmaking instincts. He might well be worth keeping around as a PR developmental piece. Hes listed much smaller than college here, but he had lots of success pass rushing and blitzing in college as well. Surprised we didn't see more of Ayers on D in game 1, wonder if hes knicked up.

I'm not opposed to starting Smith at WIL. However I think Woodbey would be the next man. If we do that, then I'd replace K. Wilson with another import DT where we're really thing. The whole nationalized import is of limited value IMO. The players listed ( except Wilson ) will be starting virtually every down barring injury. It's of value if you have a veteran as a back up but it comes at the cost of another import that could give more reps without any count limitation. Smith didn't get many reps on defence last year. Going from that to starting regardless of upside is interesting and pros may outweigh cons. I think Singer made the AR on the weekend even if that was still in question before the game. He's just way better and more versatile than Cobb or Corcoran.

Have to keep the new Aussie punter....this guy can BOOM them.....O'Shea has a dillema ...go with real new found talent or stick with the status quo.....

None of the groups' run blocking was remotely good enough. I very much expect to see a drastic improvement and Eli taking a lot more snaps at C in the first half of the 2nd game. Bryant was worrisome to me in pass pro, though he didn't play long. Vanterpool looked like he took a 2 year step backwards, which is a big disappointment. Elsbury was brutal in run blocking. Wallace gave up a big speed rush at T early but settled in pretty good after that. I wonder if he isn't too big to play T for an entire game though. Vibert was solid, Id like to see more of him at C. Poncious and Pares were average in pass pro and poor in run blocking. Mazzccua is a freaking tank. Id keep him around to develop. Rando picked up where he left off last year. Very good pass pro, solid run blocking. He needs more touches than the 3rd/4th Canadian WR. Move him around and get him the ball off screens and any way possible.

Those DL were both injured too. Honestly think the bigger problem here is the culture around "injuries" and missing practice but it's not Bomber specific, kind of more of a Late millenial/Gen Z problem. Like all these new guys see the big dogs hanging out on the sideline and move to join them instead of competing. Wonder if they get it when they get cut. Or sometimes if there's advantage given to guys who flash but are consistently not out there (well I feel like I can answer that one, YES, especially for a spot no one else has really jumped on).

on a different note...based on the big gallop last yr...and the run on Saturday where it looked like he was shot out of a cannon...Calling it now with that size and crazy speed...and more usage...I bet MCI rips off one of...if not the longest run from scrimmage from a RB in league this yr...

I think Perkins is the best option at QB2 for now...and if he is hope he gets real reps throughout the season too, as it will just get him acclimated that much quicker....but for his minimal time here...and working behind and with garbage for most part looked pretty comfortable I not as anti arm strength against hi as some...he has more than an adequate arm, and you dont need a howitzer to succeed, you need touch...be able to throw a guy open and place a ball....if he can master that, to go with his ability on the ground and I can see him being lethal with that up here we should be just fine as TE learns and develops And with this maybe being ZC swan song a more developed and capable Perkins who could possibly shows he is a legit starter rolling into 2027 camp allows us to not force feed TE into the fracass if he not really quite ready yet...and destroying his confidence...dude is young and licked up for 3 yrs...no need to rush it...let him grab it legitimately

and the ability to have Vaval and Singer back together on kickoffs and could be a pick your poison scenario too if they try to kick away from one..or other

Thats right holm as well, forgot about him. Oh O white could be one as well. We know now (I hope) the importance of a viable back up returner. Boy we suffered for a bit after grant left.

That's how I see it too. Think Perkins is the guy you go to as the #2 option now, how long depends on how quickly (assuming he does) Elgersma develops.

I'm invested in good OL play. Nothing more. Eli missed two blocking assignments during the game. Are you suggesting that was a figment of my imagination? C'mon man. I want Eli to do well, he needs to sharpen his pencil and that has nothing to do with anything I've said about him in the past. The proof is in the pudding. I absolutely believe Eli is good enough, what I'm seeing is not a lack of natural ability but brain cramps that need to be rectified. Perkins, does have a better command of the offence but yea...not the strongest passer out there. I have no doubt that Elgersma is the better QB in time, but right now not so much. That could change quickly given TE's natural abilities. Just needs to get used to things. Didn't love the run blocking by the 2nd group OL. That will need to be a lot better. That's a part of the game that really shouldn't require a lot of time or chemistry to be high level if you have high level run blockers.

All I ever see from Smith is making plays. Be criminal not to give him reps. Do you not want Canadian play makers?

Holm Boi qualifies too...Smith starting at WIL would not hurt us in the least and he would only just get better and better....Thats how you develop...game reps at game speed, and he already shown he has that down...no he needs to just stack reps Griffin at SAM too is gonna really make us a tough defence.....and Woodbey is just gonna keep getting better and better...which is such a bonus cause he already is really good Yeah....of we start 3 ot has to be Demski...and Clercius and Neild in the slot...Clercius in his reps at slot showed he is more than capable and offers us a lot there...getting him rolling in space with the ball he is gonna be punishing to DB's and later in a game they gonna be nicely tenderized...If we start 3 and the 3rd is Corcoran outside...somebody needs to be shot But ideally 3 imports and 2 Canadians with Clercius/Demski/Neild as your main 3 is our best lineup...Songer right now has to be the front runner, and his return ability has to be an ace in hole for him too....Dude looks like a return TD on the making...Looks better than Vaval did early on camp last yr, and look what he did

Let's be honest, you're so invested in the argument that Eli hasn't played before because he's not good enough you're not budging off that position any time soon. I am not sure if Perkins has a better command of the offense, but what he has is more pro experience and is more comfortable out there at game speed. Just a shame the guys arm is meh.

He also seems healthy for the first time in a long time. Im sure he will bounce back from the last two years, just a question of what is his current top level of performance. I think his peak performance capability is something like the early 2ks tier QBs. Sporadic high passing yards out put, high 2 and out count, lots of tds, close to the same amount of pics.

Start Smith and using the naturalized american spots. Kyrie, WJ, Moxey, Ceresna, and Nichols all qualify on D for naturalized spots. That way we save a DI at lber, dl or db. Idk if punters have value in this league at all any more. I doubt it. I do expect 1 of each on the PR to start, I think you're right there. I think the only none vet imp WR who would be worth playing so far is Singer. Can we start 3 canadian wrs? Crippling talent pool for sake of ratio has never stopped us before.

pretty easy to roster 2 import interior guys....pretty much we always do that...and with the talent we have in Canadians outside of a DT we can rotate in, we dont need to actually have an extra Canadian DT on roster...especially one who gets owned over and over...Could care less how much he hustles in practice and tries hard

Yeah TUI hardly repped at Center....I not concerned there...I think they wanTed to see ELSBURY....Hopefully they saw enough....not good to touch on the Shay comments here...Shay shouldn't be at SAM...he's a MLB thru and thru....doing him a diservice forcing him there. ...he's really good on teams and his roster spot is safe....I hope this yr we realize that we can backfill the roster with the depth/ST guys but actually use the guys who canin a pich tale a few reps, and have the potential to push for reps, as opposed to use these ST only guys with zippity dodah for upside....High upside guys can play ST too...a lot of times better than the ST only sluggos...

Speak for yourself

How would we get Fletcher on the AR? He may be better than Kornelson but it's a ratio issue on how to do that. The Canadians that can rotate on defence doesn't change that dilemma. I predicted both rookie kickers would go to the PR to start the season. Does Sheehan have trade value? I don't see 2 punters on the roster at the same time. We'll see who does most of the punting in the next game. I agree we CAN'T have 3 Canadian receivers starting. Not much to choose for a 3rd import except for Singer who played well. I didn't get the impression we're planing on a 3 import OL so that frees up making Singer a starting receiver. When has making sense played into some of O'Shea's choices. Injured previously or not, it's a short practice week and final cuts this weekend.

Weird. But in my opinion Fletcher looked legit, moved real well and could be a real good inside and outside guy...he just looked polished and really well coached previously He was knicked but battled thru it for a good week, so maybe they wanted to free up roster space to see some guys and were gonna bring him back when he was a bit more healthy...And prob a good thing cause other than Lawson, what we saw on the inside of the DL was a whole lotta crap and none of the guys should be getting any reps of any significance this next game...let alone make the roster...I fear tho Korn gonna make it cause he Canadian, But with the way Smith played...again...Kramdi here...Gatkouth who did some real nice work for first game, and Bailey who also is a gem of an end, we dont need a crappy Canadian DT to sub out with to meet the 2 Canadians on the field on defence, or if injury...Especially if we use the Nationalized American as well. We have so much Canadian rotation available on defence who can really ball out...we dont need to waste a spot on Korn...christ he been already cut what...like 3 times?... And gotta say again..Jaylen Smith needs to play...a ton...as he gonna just get even better. Should have been already last yr I'd be shocked as well if the oline isnt Bryant...Wallace..Eli..Neuf and Broxton...Elsbury didnt impress and as an Import you need to be exceptional at worst to justify that ratio move. And he wasnt...not even close...And man not sure what with Vpool but he looked lost and awful too...He better crank it up or could see him gone. Back to ratio....we cant run 3 Canadian WR as we dont have the talent, and ZC needs weapons....Sure Corcoran made a nice catch....but he isnt a top level Candian let alone starter. Fredrickson shouldn't get any work next game...and should be cut really....dud...nobody outside of White..Clercius and Singer from last game should feel safe...I do wanna see TJ Davis featured a bit more next game, as there is something there in my opinion but not gonna see it targeted 1 or 2 times, and playing with and against a bunch of guys who aint gonna be around in a week Another note...That other Aussie can boom the ball....Does Osh have the onions to part ways with one of his pets/..of he dials it up again next week...and shows some nice positional kicking....I'd keep a giy who can kick you outta trouble like that

Baffling moves by this club at times....BUT Womacks situation would/could be injury related....Sometimes I think it would be better to consult AI regarding player movement ,,,,might have a better outcome

Yes, but to be fair. He's bounced back from consecutive bad years before. So the question is, can he do it again?

It has to have been injury related, otherwise it just doesn't make sense.

Avs win four straight, Knights can go F themselves, hockey universe balance has been restored. Amen.
