Shouldn't we have room for an extra American on the roster? I think we overrostered Nationals last game. I would have liked to have seen Walker stay on in lieu of Burtenshaw, perhaps (although I guess he plays teams). I miss our DL rotation from last year to keep everyone fresh.

Thanks for checking. I was hoping to be accurate (for Streveler's sake). Hopefully he'll get to stay on there even if he doesn't make a game day roster.

If he was on the 53 man roster for the week wouldn't he get a game credit towards his pension even if he was a healthy scratch on game day? They didn't send him back to the practice roster -- they kept him on the active roster, just inactive on game day

In Halletts we trust?

Also Bighill listed at WIL for the first time all season. I know he moves around a lot but that's interesting to see it shifted in the depth chart.

I still think the good guys will win at Fort Hew, I just mean they scare me more than BC does.

I hope Holm is okay. Head injury with limited practice doesn't sound good.

My main worry about Calgary is needing to beat them for a fourth time this season. That seems a tough ask, and all three games have felt too close for comfort.

Apologies if this is already answered somewhere or if this is the wrong place -- I need to clear some PVR space but would love to watch replays of our games from earlier this year. Is there any reliable source online? From what I can tell TSN only has games from the past week online. If I recall correctly someone used to post YouTube links with full game replays here or on Our Bombers. Is this still happening somewhere?

I was really impressed with Parker moving over to boundary halfback, which I've heard referred to as the hardest DB position (or perhaps tied with SAM?). He certainly did not look out of place.

I think I read Holm got injured. It looked like they had Hallett in a lot in the final quarter or so and I wonder if they moved BA to halfback and Hallett to safety

I wonder if it's the same rule as the NFL: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/packers-take-advantage-of-ridiculous-nfl-rule-to-magically-make-kickoff-go-out-of-bounds If the returner touches the ball while out of bounds the kickoff is considered out of bounds. Ridiculous rule.

Brown is second stringer, I'd say. But yes, salivating all the same.

How about an HH shout-out to Kramdi. From my upper deck vantage point it looked like he was playing SAM for a half (I'm assuming Rutledge got hurt) and he did not look out of place. So classless. Did they just want to get the backup another rep?

I was wondering too. Pissed at Demski for not moving to open space on the scramble drill? Pissed at himself for the overthrow? Pissed at the refs for missing something?

What an awesome video! Anyone recognize who BA is hugging in the clip at the end of the Grey Cup? Coach or trainer? Put him on a go route and just wait for the magic to happen!

In case of injury, it'll be time for the GOAT to have a career breakout game on offense.

I'm guessing to ease him in. Probably why we're rolling with 7 OL as well (although I'm not sure who they'd put on the roster in another position anyways even if they took Dobson off. Maybe Burtenshaw?).

Not to nitpick at all, but just curious who are the three safeties ahead of Nick Hallett. BA, obviously, Thompson (who I think Nick Hallett is now outplaying). Maybe brother Noah? Fully agree with the sentiment of this post. It's incredible what we're doing with depth! All hail the Canadian Mafia.

I thought he looked good in run support but agree he's a liability in providing over the top pass coverage.

I love Streveler and hope he keeps developing, but wasn't LaPo his OC in 2018 too?

Yeah his route running doesn't seem crisp. Bring him on as a decoy or for sweeps but don't waste a slotback position on him.

Agreed. I can understand keeping McRae on as an injury replacement / rotation player but Harrison strikes me as a waste unless we give him rest. On paper we're thin at DE compared to previous games, although maybe Walker or Sayles can get reps at DE?

Fully agree. We've been using two DI spots on offensive players who haven't touched the ball, or may not have even stepped the field (Harrison). I know we need to use those roster spots in case a receiver goes down but it would be great if we could give them some reps. In case of receiver injury is the only think I can think of.

Chris Matthews in his first go around? Or was he somewhere else first?
