nor do you to the contrary....it' hardly a far take.....just watch him....You always pump Osh's yires that he does no wrong and anyone who disagrees with it is far reaching or lacks any substance Jones is a good line backer....do you not want better?...If you put the both in a bowl and asked every G.M to pick one...I bet they all go J.JOnes...and thats just not "my" opinion Carry on

From recent comments O'Shea seems pretty happy with Tony Jones play.

Yes. I agree on that potentially being a rostering mistake. However, I will wait to see what Wallace does in case the coaches know more about these two players than I do. From a fan perspective though, it seems odd. Coaches must really love what Wallace is bringing in practice? Bailey would be a half a dozen snaps max. Won't be a difference. I do get what you are saying that we could probably change a couple or three spots on the roster and upgrade them ON PAPER, but really at this part the depth chart I am willing to let the coach reward guys etc for work ethic etc. Why? because it won't really have much, if any of an impact anyway.

Bailey tho wouldnt be a bottom of roster add tho...He would be a rotational piece on defence...as well as depth at a position we only have 2 guys rostered...both over 30 for that matter....thats the difference Of Weitz is taking rotational depth or comes in for injury....we are in a bad place That"s my issue with not rostering our best rosters...same with receiver...we have a National who was knicked...a back-up in a rookie Canadian with zero experience...and then........crickets....

Don't know if Wallace's contract is up this year, but keeping him a Bomber for the next 5 years is critical to the future success of the O-line, more so than any current player IMO. Might have to push Neufeld or Stan out the door next off season if they want to keep Wallace, Randolph and Vanterpool as the next generation.

I sense a Rolex may be in David Gustafsson's future in exchange for #19.

This is a pretty far out take. You may like J.Jones better but you don't have to make up **** to justify it. T.Jones is a good linebacker.

Here’s what I don’t like: OL is 70 snaps a game and literally the heartbeat of your team, protecting the most precious assets of your team and creating your ability to score points. Special teams…I’ll never discount the importance…but 15 plays a game and really we have the bodies to have a solid unit without Ayers. Nuts to me to change the OL from last week. They dominated that game and Vanterpool specifically. Peterson had almost no yards after contact and ran for 130. BO had another 50. That’s the kind of decision that could easily lose you a game.

Tony Jones would be the ideal DI and a guy with rotational reps....He's not an elite MLB by any stretch ....Adequate, but why settle for adequate when you don't have to?

Exactly. We spend so much time around here grousing about the very bottom of the teams roster where realistically the impact on the game itself is minimal to non existent. Some guys want MOS fired for it? Makes absolutely zero sense to me. Honestly your last 4 spots on any given depth chart could be done with a coin flip and create no difference whatsoever.

Tony Jones is a damned ok linebacker. Other Jones has way more upside.

I see Tony Jones has become one of the new whipping boys for some reason. I know we had prime Bighill here for many years but Tony Jones is a damn good linebacker.

J. Jones will get his shot at some point. This is Rebus's Lock of the Week Prediction and my Shoe in of the Week.

yeah he was NCAA trained....and like ytou said...D-line once they rralize the 1 yard off rule can be dropped right in without issue... victim of the Osh rostering/bias...Our best all around LB and one who can lay a thump...Gets parked behind a old breading down vet who cant be relied on for 18 games...another journeyman guy who has holes in his game Pretty much the explanation there...release him and he is in any teams starting lineup the following week so imagine what Jones would have looked like....He heads and shoulders better than both.....but ...................................

C'mon. we can't put all the American we want to the AR. Who you gonna take out for J.Jones? By all accounts, T.Jones and Wilson were solid last game.

I don’t get it but I know it ain’t changing so

Different right guard for BC in Parker.

Forget about a possible Online drop-off. Pretty sure that our 6th man can support if needed. After the loss BC suffered last week, I just want our receivers to keep their wits about them. Cheap shot artists like Awe and Edward’s-Cooper like to make their mark in games like this.

Nobody gonna ask wtf happened to J.Jones …scratched again?

Cooley has that dog in him, as the kids would say. Haven’t seen an imp rb with powerful size and that mentality in a while. They guy is not going to be a joy to try and tackle. At some point some one probably tries to lower the boom on him and ends up picking up their own teeth. That’d normally be a good bet, but dl don’t generally get that. Last year adams came out of low levels of ncaa with a couple days at camp then played ps and quickly was playing heavy reps.

I don't get it either. Maybe Bailey is taking a bit of time to understand where he needs to be and what he needs to do and doesn't have their trust yet? He is fresh out of school.

Tire kickers

I don't think any other team was going to offer him that kind of money. Winning is nice but who is to say where the Elks end up at the end of the season. Bombers didn't start off 2024 very well and still ended up in the Grey Cup. That said we play them next week and need to dig the hole deeper for them.
