I don't mind BO on if he is really close to ready to go and a day may make all the difference or if they feel it is best to ease him back on limited reps. However, if he is a longshot and they added him anyway than it's a waste.

I agree. One cannot look at tackles in iso. If a DB has a high level of tackles, pass break ups, INTs etc. then one can assume he is playing well, but then again maybe they are throwing his way a lot too because he is seen as weak in coverage. The eyeball test tells more than stats at many positions. Rookies are always scary, but I'm more fearful about our OL coming together, and our decimated DL right now.

Yea, context is everything especially in a stat like tackles. That's why I hate seeing tackles as an indicator of good MIKE play for instance. It might be....but it might not be as well.

Agreed. I attended a coaches clinic in Texas years ago that illustrated the art of breaking down film, and I had no idea at that point just how poorly I had been doing it previously. lol. I fairness to almost everybody here, we are all trying to be film warriors from broadcast film and that is difficult to do zoomed in for TV.

True..and to be honest I have some concerns as well. I think where we differ is on how deep the problem is.

Yea...that's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying. Of course at times he got more. Shouldn't have.

Why did you leave one kicking around somewhere?

Sorry, tried to get on a soapbox but I was told you and Mike have it rented out until at least Friday. Not arguing the roster build, just the statement that Bighill on = Woods off. Not true. All the IMPS on the DC being on is why Woods is off. Semantics, I know, but my argument actually backs up your point.

Yes, but who that import is has nothing to do with Bighill. It is therefore not a direct exchange really. It is one guy coming on, one guy going off and the coaches picking one of 25 imports to sit. I guess I'm splitting hairs but Bighill on does not automatically equate to Woods sitting. That was a coaching decision based on roster need/want throughout the lineup. I am sure the coaches discussed a few guys potentially coming off before landing on Woods. By that reasoning you could say Player X staying on is why Woods is off, or Player Z.

Because I have built rosters before I guess. If they wanted both on they would have both on. It isn't hard to do. Biggie coming on was only part of the equation on Woods. The other part of the equation is that they decided to keep all the IMPs on the roster before him as well. One guy coming on, equates to one guy going off, who that turns out to be is the guy on the roster deemed most expendable. Didn't have to be Woods, but it was.

Yep...Fatboi, at no point in is career, was ever capable of more than 25% reps per game.

Yea....we know damn well that Hardrick was playing on half a leg last season, Neufeld as well. Also, last year just like last year we would have been ripe for the plucking off the PR if we didn't protect guys. Not sure how you come to that conclusion? Biggie was one roster transaction, Woods another. If they wanted to dress Woods and Biggie they could have done so.

I absolutely want the same thing for Strev, however, I wanted rolled out more and more in progressions as the season goes on.

Having a 7th OL is an almost guarantee that someone else on the OL roster was a coin flip health wise.

I think we are looking good on offence for a while. Yea get some OL but particularly DL in the draft and refresh the LBs. It's not really a big rebuild needed. We are good at receiver, RB, and if Strev shows improvement at QB. We are pretty good at OL, just need a stud OT for Bryant when he goes. Secondary is refreshed with the exception of Alexander who plays a pretty easy position to replace. LBs will need a reboot and possibly depending on Garbutt etc DE.

Fair enough. It's bound to happen I suppose. Part of me hopes we finish 2nd in the West so that management knows we are not infallible despite still playing like warriors and squeaking out another Grey Cup win.

They aren't ending, although they almost convinced just by sheer volume of posts. We laid an egg to open the season but I would be shocked if we are not in the mix for another division title. Just a real sloppy effort last week stemming from some poor training camp decisions.

They do need to build a culture there though, so he can be helpful in that regard.

I can't wait for the win this weekend. We need it around here.

Rigmaiden was a massive blow for sure. We are actually quite lucky we even had him for a couple years because of clash of personalities in BC.

Receivers I disagree with, and returners? How would we know? We haven't, in earnest, been looking for one since we scooped up Grant.

How so? Not saying you are right or wrong, but what have they not done that leads you to this conclusion?

I didn't expect you would get the point. 90% of your posts stem from a horribly inaccurate interpretation of another members post.

No..that's karma...prove me wrong..I'll wait. Point being that because you don't believe in it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist and even if it doesn't and someone still thinks it does, why try over rule their belief in what goes around comes around. More, not less, people should be adhering to that mantra.

Pretty remote chance of him doing that.
