  1. You can't just sit Thomas in order to add Adams without changing the ratio somewhere else. I would have preferred two import DT's rather than what we did. Whether we had better import talent is a question and what we did to find that during TC is another. Regardless we've heard many thoughts about adding that 2nd import DT at the cost of Ayers for example and it was continually shot down by a few. Ayers is a good ST player but it's the trade off on the roster when choosing the DI's. The number of imports on the roster is a constant whether you start 7, 8 or 9 Canadians.
  2. In theory he could be a Bomber for some time. OTOH, he might decide to use his NFL option window for another shot down south. We'd lose him for a 1/2 season or longer possibly. Woodbey might be another player interested in trying again. I'm not saying their play has necessarily attracted a lot of NFL interest but that doesn't stop them from signing some TC deal.
  3. I'm guessing he sticks on the AR as the replacement for Person in the play offs. Jaworski looked like he has some talent and Bailey as well. In theory we could add Bailey but I don't know which Canadian we'd take off with the regulars coming back next week.
  4. Finish in 1st and then you get a home game and a chance to rest veterans. There is no guarantee we don't suffer serious injury in any game even if we sit a few starters. It only takes one play. Oliveria got injured on the 4th play of his 1st game this year. I should point out we rested many veterans to end the last 3 seasons, still ended up with critical injuries and lost 3 Grey Cups in a row. When you play scared you end up losing. A handful of Bomber fans on the road is always a good thing.
  5. Are we actually going to make two changes in the secondary with PR DB's at the same time we don't dress Kramdi and put Person on the PR? Anyone know whether these DB's are DHB's or CB's?
  6. A better record. Respect for playing to win. Momentum. More Bomber fans will attend games in Calgary, Regina or Vancouver than Montreal or Hamilton. It shouldn't be necessary to explain this to you.
  7. That may be true but we're better served in him not being limited to any specific role and removing Parker or Houston to get him on the AR. Vaval is more likely to fill an in game injury at CB than Griffin IMO. That's not a bad thing or a knock, just a recognition of his versatility. Yes I'd remove Ayers to get him on but O'Shea won't. It might be moot because Woods is nicked and might not play this week.
  8. Nope. Griffin is needed but he won't start at CB. That's not his role. I noticed Woods is nicked so he'd seem the logical choice unless O'Shea finally moves Ayers off the AR. Not sure what the deal with the receivers is with Echols in with the 1st string. Since 3rd place is still in the cards until the Lions play after us, this is not a game to play a bunchof PR players.
  9. Not true. We have the season series against the Lions so we only have to tie them. Stamps should beat the Elks so that would be a tie for 2nd place possibly on the line. Will the Lions beat the Riders on the road? Riders most likely resting starters again, so it looks like a cakce walk for them. The problem is that they play after we play, so it needs to be full steam ahead and let the chips fall where they may. Laughable
  10. For some reason O'Shea refuses to consider taking Ayers off the roster. That would my 1st choice to have 2 import DT's. Unfortunately Person is the only other alternative switch and that is not happening either. Last time we played the TiCats we gave up 160 yards rushing. Let's see if just adding Woods in rotation improves that and results in a win.
  11. I don't entirely disagree. If we took Person off and added Bailey and used the extra DI spot for Adams I'd be happy with that. The catch is that we're not deep at DE so that's the only other option with Bailey taking on some reps there. I don't think Person has been invisible per se. Not recording stats but he has applied some pressure and added contain responsibilities. Two DT's in 10 games is not overwhelming success though.
  12. Yes, that's another oddity that they showed him moved to PR but in fact he's still on the AR this week. I don't have an issue with him still on the AR but why was that transaction made earlier? Maybe they thought either Griffin or Parker was still in a GTD?
  13. Hardly any go for a TD but the returner has to make a decision based on possible field position gained by not giving up the single. Goal post at the back of the end zone means a missed FG has to be short in order to be returned at all. It virtually eliminates the chance of a rouge by going wide. Many a game was won or lost by that rouge on a missed FG.
  14. Based on this weekends Bomber game. Vaval missed FG would have gone out the back of the end zone if the Redblacks even attempted it. He caught it deep in the back of the end zone. That's not going to improve the game. It will also reduce the number of last play game winning FG's due to the increased distance needed to try that FG.
  15. I can see Houston replacing Vaval at CB but wonder if he stays on the AR to do return duty? If he stays on then who gets taken off to meet the ratio? Are we ever going to get Bailey onto the AR? IMO Mitchell needs to be replaced. Even starting Corcoran in his place seems a better option and gives us a ratio benefit. I'd like to see what Echols could do as a replacement but O'Shea seems reluctant? I've gone so far to suggest Mitchell should be released outright. What the heck is the status for Sterns and Parker. Both on 1 game IR but not practising yet? Any chance they might be ready this week? Obviously Sterns might be next up at receiver if he can play. I don't understand why some players sit on the 1 game IR ( Parker ) when they've shown no signs they could practice. If that's the case then why didn't they get put on 6 game IR? Is this some sort of illusion on confusing opponents?
