Parker is gonna get hurt again anyways. He plays a game then gets hurt. The cycle repeats. Personally I think he’s been terrible even when healthy and I’d be dressing Houston also because past history suggests Parker will be injured again. Plus Houston is just better than Parker. I get they like JP. He stuck around when hurt and immersed himself into learning the playbook and all sorts of other stuff, they like him, it’s a nice story there, overcoming being out a year really but unfortunately he’s not good enough anymore. He’s looked lost when playing. Go back Early season he was not good at all, corners sucked until basically Houston and Lawson jr were brought in. Parker played corner a few games. Wasn’t an upgrade.

how about he missed too many practices this week, and they thought Parker would be better prepared.

Maybe the family issue Houston thought was good when he came back, turned and he had to leave again? Not necessarily a conspiracy or underlying concern.

Besides the clusterfuck that was Legg’s 2022 season, I’d argue we did have the lineup to win in 2022. Couple drops by the WRs, missed XP, blocked field goal and that bloody godamn interception by Prukop was what ruined it.

Likely O'Shea and the old "cant lose your job to an injury" garbage mantra.

Oh wow, really strange they’d take him off then. I can’t see an on field reason for it, he’s been great.

ugh...wtf

Kinda weird. This was from Ed Tait's article a couple days ago: Of note from today: CB Demerio Houston was back in Winnipeg after missing two days with what he called a ‘family emergency.’ “Luckily the team was able give me that time to be with my family,” said Houston. “Now I’m back and ready for this upcoming game. “… I know home is good and that’s the reason why I’m back. I’m just worried about making sure I do whatever it is I need to do to help the team win this weekend.”

If we'd lost those grey cup games by just getting beaten (like last year) that's one thing, but when you lose the previous 2 because you put a suboptimal lineup out there it is much much harder to take.

Houston is listed as out. Only explanation for that is he’s still dealing with his family emergency. Nothing else would make sense, he’s been playing very well.

Plus minus just means ppl were changing. Like you watch them play and they are slow and make stupid plays. Plus minus is irrelevant in this, honestly how it works is let’s say CSV on ice, V goes to change and the other team scores the moment V changes and Nino lets say gets on the ice, well Nino gets the minus eventho he literally just stepped on the ice.

Fair enough. I feel better now. Im not a huge Houston fan but he has been excellent. Hope he gets back in when he's back.

Apparently Houston missed some practices due to a family emergency. He's not even listed on the depth chart so I would assume he's still dealing with that.

Dumb. The best game from your secondary in forever and you make changes that dont need to be made. Stupid decision but that is nothing new from O'Shea.

Demerio Houston not starting from what I can see... That's a change from last week. And Woods listed as a starting DT instead of just Lawson and Thomas.

Demski listed as GTD. No Wheatfall. Woods still on. From what I can see, same line up as last week!! I was wrong....they replaced the best cover guy Houston with the often injured Parker...that I don't like. I wasn't a huge fan of the houston signing but he has essentially been lights out since coming on board. Parker was ok in his time before injury but not as good as houston has been. _ _ _ _ _ _ Apparently Houston is dealing with a family matter

2022 was the blown opportunity. 23, (though we got slightly out coached and trotted out a bunch of injured guys) to me wasn’t an embarrassment. It was a case of the front runners coming up against a team on a late season heater. It happens in sports. I’m over that one. 24 we got outcoached and outplayed in nearly every aspect. Toronto deserved to win that game. Even before Collaros got hurt the Argos were pretty much dominating. 22, and missing out on capping a three-peat in Regina was the unforgivable one where the Bombers were the better team and simply beat themselves with stupid mistakes and bad decisions. A three-peat with 2 cup losses afterward would be much easier to take.

and we went 29....invalid point really in regards to what people are discussing. guess you have never played....the players see it as a failure...not getting to the cip is easier to stomach then getting there...being favored and then slitting your own throat 3x straight from stupidity and stubborn incompetence most players in history will say it's meaningless...sure it nice....losing one maybe from self inflicted errors is easier to absorb...3 in a row....it sticks with guys, and not in a happy oh shucks we got there...yeehaw kinda way Saying losing with stupidity...the same stupidity 3 yrs running being a sucess is prob also one the dumber things said in a forum in some time...bordering on ever

you add pressure...or actual guys on the dline who can do things...and that already good secondry gets even better....gets more turnovers....and has even a lower completion percentage against The use of less than serviceable guys on the dline, regardless of the scheme or mindset is just a personal bias of the coach and serves no benefit. Put legit guys in 2..3 of those spots and play same scheme...exponentially better results and we filed in those yrs due to a lot of the issues whined about....we lost as well in 2022 ...further compounding it...reg season wins...many that glossed over the issues mean jackshit when you dont take hoime the end prizer someone gets it....and wasnt a hard concept to grasp either was it?

Totally agree. I'm just enjoying the ride. This is supposed to be entertainment, not life or death.
