Just bugging you man. Im picking up what you're putting down

That Griffin guy was a starter for Calgary last year in five games 

O'Shea general strategy is vets don't need to be injured to miss practice and vets don't need to be healthy enough to help the team to play. 
I think you're right its 10. I got a bit mixed up counting the fullback as the 11th. But that fullback won't be on the field that often. 

Gotta wonder how pumped Danny Mac is that he spends all off-season scouting talent only to have Jesse Briggs, Shayne Gauthier and Jake Thomas take the bulk of reps 

I really hope we play the best players we possibly can under the ratio rules. Whether  that is 7 NATS or 10. Couldn't care less how many we start if they are our best option. If they are not that's when we need to start counting how many we are using.

I stand corrected about Houston.  It was Parker on the 3rd and 5 and Houston on the game winning touchdown. I still believe that some of the poor play from our secondary in that game was as a result of the decision to dress Bighill ahead of an extra DB. We had db's getting injured in that game and playing hurt. Could have had Rose available. 
I wasn't intending to blame the whole game on Houston/Parker...  Im just saying that despite the coaching mistakes to play Bighill and Scheon we still were in a position to make one stop and we would have won. 

hope to god we dont start 11...no reason to...and why make us a weaker squad than need be?
 
Houston pooched the winning TD toss...poor recognition and it cost us...Rose makes that play

No Schoen at practice, marking two days in a row for him (credit DT).... 

If Brady doesn’t fumble in the red zone…..
If Holm doesn’t miss the assignment forcing Bighill into a “second too late” back-up coverage over the middle on that Montreal TD……
If Collaros makes the proper check down read to Demski on the goal line instead of underthrowing Lawler by 6 inches for a crushing end zone pick…..
If Willie J doesn’t overrun contain on Fajardo on 2nd and 19 and make a sack instead of a 15 yard scramble to set up a manageable 3rd and 4 on the last drive……
If that 3rd down deep pass gets knocked away….
If that game winning TD pass is 6 inches lower and hits the turf or 6 inches higher and gets knocked away…..
If…….
That’s why I will disagree with the “roster management” narrative peddled by some around here by and large. Our roster that has been put together has been good enough to go to 4 straight Grey Cups, something no team has done in over 40 years. In the end it wasn’t the player A over player B dressing in the 42nd, 43rd or 44th place on the roster costing us the game, it was mistakes by the stars who are no-brainers to be on the roster and who carried the team all year who just did not get it done on that day. Sports…….

I'd rather think of it as if we don't blitz every other play against max protection we would have won.

Crazy to think if Houston makes one play we still would have won. 

There have been a few that have pointed out Biggie's decreasing impact and high salary for a couple of years. It wasn't bad when he took a discount. 
 
I just want to see competition at TC. If Biggie wins the job, then good on him. I just think it's time for succession planning. 

Maybe we can pull Sam Hurl out of retirement

Looke like Michael Chis-Ike should be at practice tomorrow. Bombers have signed him.

11) Chris Streveler, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (A)
Hard money: $120,000
Maximum value: $174,000
The fan favourite returned to Bomberland this off-season following a four-year stint in the NFL. He received a $36,200 signing bonus from Winnipeg and can collect $70,000 in base salary, $13,800 in housing money, and $3,000 each time he plays more than half of the team’s offensive snaps in a regular season game
Milt was the exception. At one business I was at we had 3 or 4 players at an autograph signing and only Milt was given the envelope of cash.

Wish we could see what milt could do in a scrimmage

The long snapper from Laval is going back.

Personally, I’m stoked they picked Manu. You never know.

bombers apparently expressed interest in him. Potential defensive end replacement  at a discount.

Thanks, you were right, found the game.
Dobson often looks lost in space and rarely gets up field to help with the run blocking like Gray does consistently.  Ceresna plants him in Zach's lap twice and blows by him cleanly one other time, being nervous starting his first game is a valid excuse, but I think from a physical standpoint he will remain the 6th man unless Eli is worse.  He may be cheaper than Gray, but can't say I see him being a better O-lineman.
