Booch

for our first...with some guys playing their first time this spring really with no Pre-season work to mention, pretty encouraging for sure

HE WAS good as a rookie and showed serious potential...blew out his knee and post surgery just seems to have lost his closing ability and his big asset, which was his speed/quickness seems to have not come fully back and he is now forever in chase mode yup...he hasnt been the same since and has become the back end roster Canadian now....Ayola the global would prob offer just as much on teams now he back and if he picked up some seasoning and development in the NFL..which he musta being there for 2 yrs he had to have shown something...I'd put him in on that spot of roster as a teams demon and see what he does....and give him some rotation reps....u dont know what you got until you actually give a player a opportunity The perplexing part is the usage of Kelly who hasn't really made a play since his rookie yr on defense when you don't need to is just plain...well dumb If it Younger pushing for it Osh as the HC should have the plums to say..."sorry but we gonna use..Vaval...Smith...Shay"...whomever, and if it's Osh who made that call...Then we are again dealing with the same brain dead moves again and likely gonna have to suffer with it all yr until that player goes down with a season ender

Just for fun...visualize Kelly in coverage on Lawler...I dont give 2 effs how hard he tries and his attitude etc..good guy...to justify that lunacy

Looking like it...2 this yr now...that and the pointless 3rd canadian starting receiver..1 step forward with dline...2 steps back...smh

Guess this is this yrs osh pet gonna make it happen thing...with an unneeded canadian...inferior one doing it when u can use an American or a better canadian

yeah....No shocks so thats good

Gotta go Demski at home on a fade to the corner

Mcmanus being out another week would suit me just fine too

Yeah...I wanna see his jump at snap against starters...he is the quickest off snap that I saw so far this yr He is also usefull on ST chasing kicks so be a good replacement for Woodbey. I wonder if Dixon will miss a few...would suck but I think Fletcher if the replacement will make a strong case and force Osh to dress both when Dixon is back...Both can play inside and out and on teams...Actually forgot to mention Dixon obliterating a guy on one of Vavals returns

Or trying to deal with the Ceresna/WJ twists and loops....he gonna look even more turnstylish than he did here...If a guy flashes past him, or isnt dead in front...he's lost

i dont think they really look into much or research anything...just go off teams records at times...Or run with a comment made by a coach

I was hoping we were targeting him in FA

They really like Eli tho and what he does overall....and he likes it here and wont hold them over the coals SMS wise so I doubt they get rid of him for any reason...And I still think he takes over center....Overall team benefit/value it just makes sense and there wont be any major drop off...I liked we ran 2 TE sets with him and Danial's with both running out doing outs into the flats at the same time...Be interesting once we start using that I curious tho about Practice report/injury report today...if we get any and what we may do at linebacker.....Woodbey for sure is out and I know Smith went out after his big special teams hit and never came back to play, but stayed dresssed...likely precaution as he got his bell rung on the hit. If he is good to go I wonder if we replace Woodbey with another dline guy, or go the WR route? Also Hoping Dixon is OK as he was starting to get in a groove/rythm, but that being said if Fletcher can come on in early games...and make it too difficult to pull him then could easily see him and Dixon on roster. We dont need another LB on with Ayers...Wilson...Jones..griffin...Shay...SMith....and I thik the reason we saw so much Kelly is because he is the backup to Smith so was taking Smith's defensive reps

I curious about th we benching of Bell..even moreso than the Dru thing..I always thought Dru was too low key and not a real aggressive leader type...Maybe thats part of Dinnwitty reasoning...But man Maier is just the poster child for unspectacular adequacy..can't see him ever grabbing a team and dragging them anywhere to be honest

yeah...rust and not up to game speed from lack of playing until that game...I expect it to look a lot better Thursday...The one where Ayers got faked right out...Uncharacteristic and result of no reps..Same with the one Bryant goofed....on ZC big pass to Pokey on last drive..Bryant had key block to keep ZC clean and had his guy locked down We have seen it before...guys looking useless at times from way we run camp...No alarm bells for me yet...Other than we need to abolish the 3rd Canadian receiver as it does nothing for us

Nick Anderson is good and type lb we need...damn him tho cause it's due to him we have Jones...cut the vet for a raw rookie...see Osh..its allowed and can be done

hahah...i carry no grudge with anyone who is a Bomber fan....But also stand by my opinions and experience...etc...and will retort to anyone...I'd cross check my mom to get the puck if I was a hockey player to get the win hahaha....So hopefully no one is thinks anything is personal...I'm wired from the late 90's and early 2000'S era where we did what needed to be done and called and held no punches verbally regardless of who got their panties in a twist...back when men were men I guess and snowflakes only showed up dec thru March We aint the same dude tho lol....but we do think similarly

Coukdnt agree more about roster construct..redundant guys..wasted spots on guys who are limited..plagued us for yrs now..as have said before for all osh's positives he brings..he is not good at creating best game day rosters..and values things in some guys over talent and actual overall usefulness...and this isnt just a last night's game thing...its been a decade long issue

or a JT/Korn value pack together

yeaH ZC earned his salary that last drive. He made the huge pass he needed to early and was calm and composed about *** and didnt force/rush anything...then allowed us to use BO and basically run the clock out knowing we had mr clutch to kick the winner. I truly was expecting a forced ball into double or triple coverage for the nut kicking INT but he made a vintage ZC play...hopefully a sign of more to come and he looked way more settled and in tune with what Condell is wanting to do...He is one of the biggest signings this offseason and is gonna be good for multiple players on offence Still wondering tho about ZC arm...will chalk this one up to basically horrible conditions and lack of reps thru camp with the #1's....Lets see what he does with hipefully ideal weather on thursday and a game under his belt. We still tho really need another WR who has...or can have any kind of impact/influence in the game and on a defence...That Corcorran/Cobb combi is just flailing away at nothing ...If Clercius was available and we were to move him and Neild around outide...inside...etc then that be a lil more productive and beneficial. Even tho Elsbury was "ok" he wasn't really a dominating force and the roster implications and taking an import away from elsewhere with his playing ...either on defence or at WR doesnt really have a real net benefit for us and makes us weaker overall Now if Woodbey is out for the yr than we mist give Smith the opportunity as well as more Shay and with Ayers..Wilson..Jones..Smith..Shay..Griffin already on the roster we can replace Woodbeys spot with either another DL guy like Reese or Fletcher...Or add Singer ...Another DB would be a waste as Osh seems tied to running Kelly and Hallett out there...And with Singer on roster Vaval could if need be cover an injury in the DB backfield and Singer could help carry the load on returns If Dixon needs ro miss a few games its a certainty that Fletcher gets on and be good to see what he does with the number 1's early in season so we kinda know what we got...Hopefully we dont do the dumb thing and slot in Korn...nothing like taking a step fotward with dline play and next game take 2 steps back Also must say..Perkins is a smooth..smart and really good short yardage guy...Just imagine midway thru the yr when he more accustomed to CFL ball how good he will be...he's gonna bust a big run sooner or later...I hope too we install some rpo type package for him or some QB sprint out bootleg type stuff to gas a defence a bit and really spread things out....Nothing from the pocket for now but a lot of motion and option looks

Yup..like get Reese on for a look..hes got the best get off on the team among dlineman

I think thats more from over substitution and moving guys around too much

Gotta say.. ceresna and wj gonna be good for each other...hopefully Dixon is ok..as he gonna be getting better each game..id like to see Reese get on somehow in these first couple games to see what he could add

Thank christ...escaped with the win
