Is it roses fault that Thompson makes terrible decisions In cover, has no speed and sells out to try and make hits?

Agree

The mafia some times fall in love with random underachievers. im guessing this is more and indication of his injury being season ending than giving up on him. Hope it means some one like whop gets a call back for the pr.

At the same time you can’t give a defensive pi for a wr trying to run through a db.

Honestly that’s all I dream of from our refs. Enforce the rules evenly team to team game to game. at this point why bother. He makes north of 100k. He’s been fined a crap ton and never given more than a slap on the wrist. At some point the league needs to give serious punishment to repeat offenders like him.

Maybe banged up. I think he’s fallen out of favour but is still a vet and they like his make up. Get his money off the cap get mancuso a look as third string and holder. If he’s worse bring Dakota off. If he’s better and we don’t need the insurance policy cut him after his salary comes off the cap.

True but he had way too long to throw. He was un bothered on most of his deep balls. masoli was certainly very good and is generally a guy whose hard to disturb with pressure.

I think that’s a great pick. I feel like Calgary might be really under valued. It looks like they just gave up one big run. I’ll probably wait n see if any one is banged up.

Same. I’m sitting between Calgary and sask on d. Toronto is a dark horse. If jj is healthy and we change Ss we’d be a great pick too though. I think the best bang for the buck will be cal or ssk though.

Thompson seems to be missing the athleticism and brains to play s. He plays more like a mac with a rover assignment. He’s a poor man’s loffler. 100%. Though it did get better as the game went on. We saw different dl alignments due to the lack of a nose tackle. Can’t say yet how well we will execute the current scheme even with jj in. But jeffcoat will improve things a lot. The rookies did not impress in his place at all. If you have a rookie hb or corner you can help them a lot of ways. Especially with kyrie and biggie. You can roll help around from lots of positions. If your safety can’t cover you can’t really do much about it other than splitting the field with him and still he will get picked on and make bad choices. Thompsons aggressiveness and toughness could be an asset as a primary teams guy still. But he does not look like a db in this league.

Snafu. He’s the contrarian. If people on the forum say it’s raining he will talk about it being a drought.

Every guy on the ol started games last year and has been here for two grey cup wins. I don’t think gel can be an excuse. I think between 60/40 and 70/30 is where we want to end up and probably will. we didn’t see demski on the sweep though and Brady got banged up at one point so it’s hard to say what we should expect this week.

Watching him trying to hold and qb sneak sure was painful for me. Must’ve been murder for him. We haven’t seen signs of a concussion or other injury with collaros as a bomber. He’s had a hand full of scary hits. I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

100% and the 5th is Bryant. What a sick trade for mtl.

I think it’s part that and part they wanted him here. They seemed really high on him in camp.

I dig that this is in a single thread now. Would be nice if it got stickied. One day I want to try and get into it.

Yep. I have no doubt things in Edm would be very different if cui had put a front office and coaching staff in place. The usual in Edmonton it seems. You couldn’t ask for a better team president than victor cui in any league. I would love him as the comish, a real comish not a figure head. Khari and cui could be the start of a mafia quality management.

I don’t expect much from the panel. Half the time or more i mute it or walk away. Lots of the time we don’t get either a pre game show or post game show and I generally listen to those on ob instead. I can tolerate pretty much any combination with out suitor. Suitor on mine bomber and none rider games that don’t effect the riders in the standings is ok ish. Other wise it’s awful.

I’d like to see Edm fire jones and bring khari in. They have a great president and fan support with some decent pieces he could work with. But if mtl fires him they are on crack. He’s done way more than most any one would do with that core.

The bombers run to grind down the defense and top. Augustine isn’t a punishing running. In the time before bond when our ol struggled last Harris was averaging under 2 ypc. Augustine is best suited of the two to be a change of pace back. We can’t know stuff like ability to learn and execute the game plan but that could be a factor. Neither one shows well against Ottawa. But Augustine’s age vs Brady and collaros ability to lead the offense plus the hash mark change I think a Augustine rb 1 offense that’s more pass heavy would be our best option. But I don’t think they are going to make that whole sale a change.

You’re kind of a big deal. do you think it’s more worth while to fill out at least min cost players in each slot or go cost heavy and just get the guys that’ll really produce?

They are playing in a single host city. Like they planned to do for the cancelled season here. The home team draws ok. The others draw less than friends and family. It’s just a loss leader for slot filling like jbr said. I don’t think it’ll last as is.

Dobson could start on a few teams pretty easy and improve them. He’s 100% ready to at least take over Eli’s 6th ol heavy package role. We need earth movers for the tight and short yardage package. from the preseason game I think he could start at guard in this league and he one of the best run blockers. I would think the 8th ni is to get an extra di so we can run two imp back up des for jj and still have both sayles and walker to rotate at dt. But we could start an imp at s and go with the ni dbs instead of Houston as a di. that’s what I suspect too though Dobson had a few starts at c in college last year. He started every where but LT. I suspect the concern is making the jump to the pros and the yard off the ball adjustment while playing out of his natural position. He could be a center long term if they groom him for it. His recognition and pick up are tremendous of course he’s also incredibly quick and explosive.

Taylor to S Houston into his spot. Roll 7 ni. Activate Dobson and sit kola. Then hope to high he’ll jeffcoat is healthy and start looking for a nt maybe drake nevis. The question is how long is ba out how quick will he be physically sharp after he’s healthy and will he recover 100% I remember when we were just waiting for mo to get healthy at S too
