    I wouldn’t have mentioned Holm’s name as a projected starter pre-preseason this year either. His rookie year was just ok.
    I could attach some articles of during preseason about holm…but I think those were shared enough 😂 
    The sun using Parker’s name in the same sentence as Alford and Nichols to me is so laughable. Parker is good for sure, but not legend like them omfg.

    Parker was a projected starter at corner due to injuries. Holm was projected starter at half. We haven’t seen Parker on field in nearly a year against a real team so saying he’s better than holm who has improved immensely in the last year isn’t a possible comparison. 2023 holm is better than 2022 parker. I can remember parker having more than a bit to work on last season.

    Darby’s salary is guaranteed now - right? Isn’t it after game 9 or so? 
     
    Otherwise I could see us releasing him

    He hasn’t played well all year - I don’t really care how many positions he can not play very well. Particularly when we have better DBs in front of him that can’t get on the field.

    I meannnnn they did exactly what I thought they’d do. Though I didn’t think they’d use an extra fullback instead of a DL. After 4 years following this team, they’re very predictable. I’m not mad, we’ll be fine. It’s a great lineup. I still think Parker should be in rose spot if it was my team, but it’s not and I figure they always prioritize the vet. And the other DBs are strong there so they won’t move. He put up a few days in practice and sounds like they liked the guys they had better. Gotta trust they saw enough. They see these guys every day at practice - at the end of the day that means more than the bit we see in games from them.

    It sounded like burternshaw was pretty injured prior to this return so maybe he needs the most insurance behind him compared to the other guys. That’s my best thought

    They announced the change to fighting hawks in 2015 but officially switched in 2017. This is my hometown team! There are actually 5 guys currently in the CFL from UND, which is why I started watching. We have 2 of them: Olivera and Holm. Green and white forever, baby.

    You can't complain on one hand about an old boys club and support taking all-star level players off the field for a guy who hasn't played well in 4 calendar years.
    I think it's more the opposite for Rose.  Sure put him on the roster, we have the American spots, but work him in.

    It won’t be this year but I really think Holm will be an all-star next year. He’s starting to get noticed and his compete level on some of these deep shots teams are taking at him is unreal. Love the way he never gives up, he’ll fight you the whole way down to the ground on a jump ball.

    ADS is adequate, would like a little more aggression to the field.  So far he's made most of the tackles or at least turned guys in, but he's getting caught in space all the time 1 on 1 vs guys that have the ability to either make him miss, truck him or both.  If he cuts down on the space the guy has receiving the ball there's a lot less opportunity for the 20-30-70 yard catch and run.
    Holm, Nichols and Houston are all potential all-stars

    Watching Briggs out there was painful. Guy is hard worker forsure. But much like Bennet, should not he getting the reps he is.
    Shout out to Holm for knocking down that deep ball late in the 4th in one v one coverage. Huge play!!

    Holm has been nothing short of excellent and his tackling has been fine. I'd argue his coverage has been the best out of all our DB's not named Nichols. I cant think of many scenarios where he hasnt been in the hip pocket of receivers and/or was able to use his elite speed to recover in time to make the play. Im sorry he stole your ice cream.

    It’s SO interesting to me that there are sawarmy fans out there still 😂 
    next week will be Parker or rose in his spot, whoever’s back first. I doubt they make other changes. with kramdi hurt, Darby stays. I could see them bringing in more bodies but we’d have to shed some PR weight to do so.
