Booch

I lie how other teams right now seem to be getting the injury bug, as we about to crawl out of that hole we been in all yr.....nice timing for the crunch part of the season just beginning

thats what I figured but never smart to just assume hahaha....that or I was just on glue and totally went over my head

that and epic failures the last few seasons....a lot of it due to some poor coaching...and a big lack of discipline issues in a lot of instances that just havn't gone away....which falls again squarely at coaches feet

nobody was offered and turned down a spot....so wasnt that what u talking about btw

I still wnder why he wasnt kept and allowed to grow on the PR...Or even active roster....2 pre-season games when new to the cfl hardly is enough to get a gage on a guys skill level

yeah thats the rub...Jeffreys was basically promoted from within as nobody wanted that job.....they got tired of guys not even wanting to waste their time even interviewing...so again...like their current HC....They settled....for someone with no business in that position.....and are what they are cause of it

if Sask was smart....which is pretty evident based on a whole pile of things they are not, they would bring him in there, even if as just an offensive consultant....as Jeffrey's is so out of his league it's not even funny

Yeah new ownership alone there would do wonders

yeah...we have had quite the evolution

dont be surprised to se Strev some time after labour day...we will make it function here

yup....right now....its a luxury we dont really need...defense will be better served with an impact body

Haba played the teams....Gurbutt was on them today from what I watched....so I'm sure they will be fine there as well And in game if BO goes down...we can get by with Augustine and a run game by committee anyway...and fact of the matter, once Grant is back he is likely off the roster anyway....so may as well do some things now with him off, and see what results are. We aren't gonna sot Bailey/lawler or Schoen for Mcrae....Miller will do what Jackson does....and better....so the smart money would be to add a dlineman with Jacksons spot...considering we have played games without Jackson and did jut fine with the limited full back package

at this moment...with all our offensive guys healthy we wouldn't even need Mcrae...I'd like to see Haba when healthy, or Garbutt now in his spot to see how a rotation of the Jeffs...Fox and Walker and Thomas/Lawson and Haba and Garbutt...and truth be told...Those 8....would give defenses fits, as everyone would be fresh. Too bad Leggs didnt work out as having to DA and American at kicker limits your roster

Burtenshaw is back...who could do it...Heck we have used Gray there, and we have had several games with no full back even listed. Jackson burning a DA spot at that position has no bearing, or is not caused by anything else ratio wise...We start 8 canadians...6 on offence..2 on defence....so if there is only 1 declared to be a defensive starting Canadian, which is whatwe have done....then Thomas can come out all game and be replaced by FOX...Haba...Gurbutt....and extra DB...hence why the burning of a DA on a FB is even more pointless all thigs considered.\ Also factor i if Osh would put aside his stubbornness of that new rule...which all teams but us use, we would be even more well set up to really dominate and have fresh legs coming in and out . Parker had 2 college returns, but was the in game back-up...so practiced it often I am told, and it is apparent watching the 2 guys field kicks...and fielding kicks vs a punt is like night and day and some guys just cant comfortably do it...and to risk things with a guy not comfortable at it...when 80 percent of punts are fielded inside your 20 yard line is playing with fire when there is no need too...especially when the guy better at it can do so much on defence, while the other is sure nice on offence....but not needed nearly as much...we have too many guys as it is to spread the ball around as it is, and why take away targets from Lawler...Schoen...Demski....not necessary Dline is the spot that needs the most rotation, as you are playing a guessing game, in pursuit, and being reactive...O-line not so much as they are being the aggressor and know the play call and the responsibility...it's a huge difference

Parker looked so natural doing it...cause...well...he has done it before....for the bulk of the meat and potatoes part...It was just Mcrae and Parker doing it.....and Parker also on defence is so usefuland made a play every time he was targeted in practice, And Garbutt looks legit...he's thick too...but athletic thick...looks like a baller....A lil bigger version of Haba in my opinion Didn't see anyone other than Jackson doing FB duties...so my gut tells me he could be rostered, again....and we go with a lean Dline again...which truly sucks and if u ask me....dumb as I saw 2 guys (Garbutt and Fox) who could make major contributions with that defensive rotation...and if we sucked it up and actually used the Nationalized American rule...could really field a ferocious front Interesting side note #1 was Walker talking up and teaching some young guys on the dline some responsibilities on certain sets, and what to watch for #2 Biggie is truly a coach on the field...overhead and intently listened in when he came over to ask Hall about a certain set...I wont say which...and certain responsibilities in situation A, and situation B...And if it wouldn't be better to do something different...I won't get into detail here, but they hashed a few things out right there on the spot, and likely is going to be a lil tweak.... All in all a very upbeat high tempo practice...abd didnt see anyone of note hobbling...All the 6 gamers I saw (Clements/Haba/Hansen/Gauthier) were very active and look no worse for wear and gotta be close...Prob won't get pulled early as we can only do it 1 more time...but we will have a glut of health shortly if nobody gets dinged Didnt see Miller or Grant anywhere.but from experience were either getting treatment...or doing things elsewhere away from prying eyes

Demski with a deep shot TD between Holm.amd.Ba....took it right away from both Houston another knock down on deep.poat on Bailey..gotta say...dude is good when ball.on air Lawler just plain good...nice corner fade for long gain on Nichols

Nice pass breakup by Parker on Schoen...guys diggin it...good sh!t Parker called out And that's Jamal lol

Houston with a pic.of ZC on a Lawler post Rose being back is huge btw..dude is slick and hard to.shake..and we have good receivera

Damn....Sheed in a huge collision across the middle...got layed the eff out to some big oops..was a total accident..but bounces right up

Garbutt definitely quick off the snap...and cuts and.moves fast...would love to see him in a game Parker and McRae taking punts...Parker looks way more polished...u can see McRae has to stop..think...and consciously secure ball...Parker is set catch and go

Parker splitting first team reps...in db drills he one of the more fluid easy moving guys Rose with a pic on nice anticipation Next to Lawler Agudosi is best pure catchers...quiet hands Parker with nice pass breakup on a deep corner I haven't even seen him today...may be getting treated Hansen looks.like a caged animal prowling the sidelines...he gotta be close and looks pretty much back to normal Had a quick chat with Bauming while i here as well

When is Eli gonna get his shot. Dude is in tremendous shape for.an oline mauler

Seeing some different offensive things tho..minor things with some schemes...but diff none the less Lawrence is fully dressed as well

DT seeing what I see so far

Wilson with helmet off...I assume non participant...but expected and he is fine..doing some maintenance stuff Garbutt looks like a bit longer version of Haba... interesting to see his reps today Fox so athletic for a bigger dude...if we would DA him instead of Jackson and give him reps...and use the Nationalized American rule and have sets with him and Walker together damn we would be in business..and so tough Check that..Wilson is participating All offensive starters taking reps...shocked McRae is full participants too...swore he would have had a day off from what I saw his knee do in the game
