Booch

YEAH...almost maybe a blessing before the bye....may allow us to get an extra guy on roster to see where they at, and help sort out that defensive back field

I'll take our list and raise u a heck ya

even better.....decisions and options galore coming up....Hansen hopefully soon too

pretend u in Sask and just spin em around and turn em inside out Let Grant heal up good....with Mcrae filling his role...we can dress another DI now too...so until Lawler comes back perhaps Fox on the Dline so he can make a case for not getting pulled out again...Or that Extra DB or LB now that Parker and Wilson are back practicing

I see Wilson and Parker are both dressed and practicing....Things slowly coming together on the defense now

YEah Cole is a wicked athlete...

Rose for sure is underrated for tackling...Parker is prob the best tackler on the team...but in limited action so far Swarmay seems to be that guy now...Cole is good too...and he has prob best sideline to sideline speed for tracking guys down on the team

Lumbar....sneaking suspicion he uses small intestine

its poor when you dont replace him tho...and wear out your other ends you still have...and that depth from the Riders was worse than what we released in Mack III..there are 3 globals on the roster....2 of whom are basically a waste of space (OL and Punter) and when Hansen is back...we will have 4 on the PR most likely Fox could dress....But he also cut loose all the imports we had in camp as well....Fox I bet too could give us more than Walker does....but seeing as he is in his 3rd yr here kicking around...he got spot by default....

his stubbornness for whatever reason is making him not use it to the max like every other coach....why....anyones guess is as good as mine but it's pointless...so may as well utilize it for the betterment of the squad Machino been here 3 yrs now....and will never supplant a starter, as who backs him up then if he goes down?...so him being kept is a waste...Karamoko has huge upside/potential...and for the dearth of LB's we have on gameday roster...and Athletic DB ...big bodied one at that would be just as useful on teams and occasional defensive snap than Mauro...plus be depth at the db spot in case of injury/poor play...and when Hansen back...we prob hold even more globals on the PR for whatever reason instead of filing it with guys we could use/develop who could have an impact on the roster...thats what.....so yeah foolish and poor allocation of raster assets any way u slice it

was gonna say....from limited time....he looks like a pretty damn good guy in that regard....he also has phenomenal closing speed....this yrs gem DB find I'm thinking....can return too

for one...the fact we dumped Mack III...traded away Wilcotts and lost Hansen and rolled thru last part of season and wore/bagged out the Jeffs, and augmented them with useless pickup from Sask for one...and had nobody on roster/PR to help out...and our dline play and QB pressure fell right off a cliff and killed us...theres a good one Also midway in yr he made a odd roster move...even mentioned it in press when he deleted 2 dlineman off roster and said he "wanted to try something out"....it failed pretty much right from get go....and never addressed it Yes Leggz...had no competition...and he cost us several games This yr...over abundance of globals on the pr...especially when you have Hansen about to be back, further adding to the excess of guys who will never see the roster....instead of grooming a DT....or another end....we had 2 guys that we could be developing who showed promise in case of injury...especially when we have one who cant stay healthy...What if WJ goes down....then Jeffcoat...whos up next?....Bennett fulltime, and move Walker outside....that would be super awesome...and useless Sure we have had success....won a couple cups.....but we also had some pretty key luck....and almost won despite not having certain depth, only because we had a vet laden roster, and a couple right superstars....I like Osh as coach...but to ignore the warts and think everything is peachy keen would make us an ignorant Rider fan....

sure...you can cherry pick thigs....goes either way at certain times....but if you don't think some of our roster management...PR players we havekept for no particular reason...and where we got rid of position players where we are so lean...sooooo lean then you not looking...And there are other guys on roster who can return in an injury situation....everyones all-star fancy feet...Swaray....Demski in a pinch....sure not ideal....but no team has just a guy on a roster whos sole purpose is a dedicated returner...their guy guys down and they need to use a starter most likely as well...such is the limitations of a CFL roster...that was just the proverbial stroke of dumb luck....and funny thing many many here posted that Mcrae sucked at returning and didnt want to see him doing it....so there is that too

but...but....he was so damn awesome tho...Riders defense hasn't been as good since he got run out of the league....that dimwitted fan base says so....so it has to be true

Plays for th Riders

yeah Nick was here for the Stamps game...came over and visited the boys in locker-room after the game too

I said it befoe Frahan hahahah

Yeah standing with him...I a bit taller and he looks to be close to me and I fluctuate between 235..245

its the choice of new generation....oh... no....sorry...thats dish water tasting Pepsi...my bad

exactly...and some places make a lot of annoying artificial noise...again...Sask come to mind with that annoying crap Gainer does...the dumb horns in MTL....the pumped in sound at BMO....I even think they pump in some artificial droning noise in IG West too...and at times how the sound gets louder and then drops off sounds like a dimwit turning a volume knob as it is so un-natural

YUP....Lil game of scrub

you be foolish to believe he hasn't been doing things...with "friends" outside the walls of IG

Yeah...agree...If we could solidify that gap eating DT we would be sitting pretty good.....As it is now we are using Biggie and Clements more than I like off edge, and even sometimes inside the tackle at the line, even a lot of HB edge rushing too....and it at times harms us in run protection....Is this something that we will morph away from...we shall see, but back to original point I would say Biggies is in the box like a true MB maybe 50% of snaps...as he is often in the intermediate and deeper levels in coverages.... Yeah...Wille in particular looks like he has been re-energized....maybe that snow training is the key lol

I have no issues with his game and how the role we have him playing isn't y9our normal/usual one for his position...he's played well this yr and is coming on even stronger...much like the defense as a whole...14 points allowed the last 2 games is also a nice indicator and trend I like seeing

Why would als guy just go down??..*****
