They will have to earn their on field reps. If they are good enough to get field time what are the odds that MOS sits NAT players that deserve to play. Never happened yet. Everyone is looking at this addition in terms of a traditional 4-3 defence. I love that we brought in a guy that will solidify a 4 man LBer unit for us. He is a great fit for that. That might or might not be true. JSK being better is undeniable. Glad to get JSK, I was starting to worry that he may end up a RIder.

He hasn't been terribly effective as a pass rusher since he left here, but he does have the basic tools and sneaky upper body strength. Agree. He would. And I think he is finally 100% and stayed healthy last year. Im not sure if he's a wil any more. Maybe in a pinch if you need, but youd be better putting in a DB especially a bigger one. We went through that exact situation last year though

I am thinking that JSK will be used in a hybrid situational role rotating between WIL and MIKE. Let's not forget that we run a ton of 3-4 so he can be very effective tool for us there.

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Mike O'shea. Head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

I got a sick feeling in my gut that they are only ever going to be allowed to play teams.

Absolutely no world exists where JSK is backing up Wilson, at this point of their careers he is a MUCH better LBer.

Thats odd... Right? Now, JSK is a better version of Tony Jones. He's the best run stopper in the league at Lber, because he is very good at getting off blocks and understands how to body block one gap while waiting to fill another beside him. He's the only lber who can play 2 run gaps like that in the league reliably. He is better in pass pro, though not great, and was very good pass rushing with us but never really saw that use or effectiveness since he left. The logic behind how we could still use Kyrie also applies to JSK. If we use him as a naturalized import, which he qualifies for, we could rotate him easily with a DB, canadian lber, dl Etc. Jsk, was also a demon on team in his first year before he was an every down guy. Now having JSK and Kyrie, and Jones is puzzling. Unless we have accepted the fact that Jones is very limited in pass pro and Kyrie is a shadow of his former self and we need to improve. This move does further concerns of a Jonathon Jones situation again though. Also, we have the rookie Brandon Bouyer-Randle, who turns 29 this spring and kicked around 3-4 nfl teams and the UFL. He's a very high floor rookie at a position that is one of the easiest to translate to in the CFL in Mac. And isn't likely a Wil candidate with his NFL bulk up.

That's fair. He was also a part of one of the worst defenses in the league. 3 years ago this is a solid signing. History tells us that Wilson will not be a special teamer and that the two LBs they drafted will be kept at the bottom of the depth chart....at least that's what I'm worried about.

Wilson is quite likely in jeopardy of being relegated to teams now. I would think we didn't sign him to a very high contract. More likely in at MIKE quite a bit.

Yes he did, and he could certainly move there on passing downs platooning with T.Jones. He is an extremely versatile guy. I really like this move.

Not sure what you are responding to. Talking about pulling starter to see D better, nothing about reps.

JSK is an excellent WIL. I am not sure why people are unhappy about this? This literally guarantees that Wilson will be a teamer. This upgrades our LBer corps big time.

Didn't JSK play some MLB in Hamilton? Could work better over Tony Jones in Jordan Younger's style of defense...blitzing/coverage.

If a guy is jumping off the page in practice, like Alexander was for a long time before they made the move to him, then the coaches will certainly give him a look. Like I said, if your number 2 is truly looking better than your number 1, he will get playing time. You don't need to force it. It is a fallacy that you don't know what you got until you see him in live fire. Live fire will confirm what you have seen in practice but if you are not seeing it there, there is very little chance you have some untapped potential hidden that will surprise the coaches. So no, you don't play guys based on salary, but you also don't play them just for the sake of giving them game time either...or at least not until the stakes are meaningless. If your QB1 is struggling, not seeing it that day, or for whatever reason is struggling then you can make a case for giving them the hook. However you never do that until you give QB1 a chance to try play through it. That is enormously important to the psyche of a QB.

JSK is two years younger and better than Wilson, so I don't hate it. Don't know why they re-signed Wilson still though

Don’t see how he fits in with our log jam linebacking core. I know it’s weird to think but he’s 6’1 233, would they consider using him in some schemes as an end?

Can't say I understand this one...unless they know something about someone's health that has just happened? Why did they draft those two CNDs so high last year?

Buddies and I laughing about it being the most Osh move ever... "If our aging vet goes down, we need another equally aging vet to replace him!" "But Osh, we drafted two young stud LBs that need the reps...." "Aging Vets!!!"

If ICE wants to muscle in on a million person parade in a city that ******* loathes them, they're welcome to bring it.

Back-up vet In case/when Wilson goes down is the only thing I can think of. Not a move I was expecting...

Why on earth......?

Santos L. Halper is coming home. Jovan Santos-Knox agrees to terms with Winnipeg Blue Bombers - 3DownNation

Just a reminder that FA officially opens in about one hour... Curious to see if we do much today at all other than confirm some of the legal tampering moves.

Million people in one place? ICE be like…

Patterson/Dolegala/Fine is not a very high standard of coming right in and playing. All 3 of them lost a lot more than they won, and had pretty pedestrian numbers. Sure they went in, but your recollection of no dink and dunk is not accurate. They were almost exclusively a dink and dunk offence almost to the point of it being comedic. The only time they would open up the offence is when they were down multiple scores and with a very low success rate.
