Booch

Assume Gauthier is out for tommorrow as Beeksma will be rostered

well we do lead the league in knockdowns with 26...next closest team has 14....and of the top 5 players in the league we have 2 guys tied for most in the league at 5 (Lawrence and Holm) and Willie and Nichols are tied for second with 4

interesting with the stats...many of us have moaned about d-line play/personnel/pressure etc yet we are tied for league lead in sacks with 14,

I think it was shown on TSN...also on twitter somewhere.....and yeah....thats a stat one should lean toward in terms of how good a db is covering/breaking up plays

ahhh....good call hahaha

has he had a significant injury tho?...I can't think o one

haha....guess they figure if he was on our game day roster 95% chance he better than anything they have lol

Rourke is gonna sit on a PR for a few yrs...basically as his starter skills erode....an they weren't even refined yet...then be back and look average to decent and you will have people saying it's the NFL hangover....book it

we could maybe see piggy land there now....Not sure what else they have after Arbuckle

Yeah for Oline Yosh just entered his prime yrs really...especially when as mentioned he playing with the same guys for pretty much 4..5 yrs now...Also same with Neuf...he a few yrs older but as a guard he is in same place...right in the thick of his prime yrs....once we got depth here, and didnt have to keep rushing him back early...cause we basically had to...he's been a rock

Bailey in that MTL game was on a mission...he had about 3 really punctuating blocks in that game

could see him slide into coaching here as well, with his other gig well established

They were also anticipating snap count....and at times to me looked early...U saw T.O switch up their cadences...and basically nullified them and caused some penalty issues I'm not overly concerned with our aging guys on the O-line...a good tech sound O-lineman who hasn't had injury issues in career (Bryant never has...Yosh few if any) can play a long time...Biggie is the guy we need to be trying to groom a new guy....he has been fine so far...not a dominating difference maker, but I will let season pan out and see what we look like in Oct....and what he did....he has been playing more out of the box this yr, or at times a pure rusher....so hard to tell where he is at in regards to losing a step....tho when we had turn overs and the defense flipped direction to run blocks...he didnt look like he lost a step in my opinion...still fast for a bigger body

Biggie isnt the only guy doing that tho....the dirty play in my opinion which is still happening is the blatant target to the head on a guy wrapped up with the second tackler coming in to do the finishing

or not at all....step up in the pocket and fire an accurate pass....hmmmm....neat concept

Kelly only played when Swarmay got hurt...I think that's the only reps he's seen on defence other than the one game we put in a lot of the backups after game was well in hand Our line would be better I think with Eli at center and I bet he takes it over at some point Gray was fine last game...and has been solid for 2 yrs now ..plus he gets under the skin of defences as he is always in second level annoying guys

Just look at Trever Harris' career as a whole....high percentage completion on short lil dumpy passes...lots of yards between the 20's.....minimal TD's and an overall losing record

The linebacker they released a week earlier would have been an even better signing....but we didnt bring him in

doubt it...hes gonna be 30....

it's more than looks like....he is

The age thing is kind of misleading and is kinda skewwed a bit. Bryant's age of 37 effects the average quite a bit but he hasn't shown any let down...and really if he didnt get screwwed out of the MOL in 2019...he would be on a streak of winning it. Mike Benson at 36 also brings it up, but as strictly a long snapper...big deal...We have ZC at 34... and who is saying he looks old and declining??...we may see that at 37..38....Trevor Harris age range....but again that brings up the average...With Biggie and Neuf at that age too but where has their play hurt us? Briggs and Yosh at 33..One is a role player...other an all-star....Castillo is 32 with the Jeffs....and who wouldn't want them on their squad...If all 3 were to be dumped they would be starting on a new team the following week...and Jake...who I think is on his last legs this yr and will be done...and hopefuly his role scaled down in favour of Lawson Rest of the lineup is 31 and under with the majority in the 23 to 27 age range.....old and aging is way over blown

yeah wonder how long we do the 7 oline thing...maybe until Miller is back....and then we just go with the 6 best... its been a couple yrs of it tho...not just these games

Teams would kill to get their paws on one of Dobson or Eli....Both of whom would start anywhere in league right now Biggie as well is not playing a traditional MLB role....our scheme asks him to do a lot of other things other than just play inside the box and spy RB's and QB's....Just cause he isnt piling up the sexy stats doesn't mean he's not being useful...is he 2019/21 Biggie...nope....But he is still getting it done to not hurt the squad...plus he's like an on-field coach....but he needs to clean up some of his tackling tchnique as he has made some ugly whiffs...mind u he's not alone at that up to now

Exume will replace Kelly....only reason he is on roster is due to injuries....so this early season experience is huge in case someone goes down later in season...BA is backed by Hallet, who will be backed by Exume Mauro for Beeksma makes no sense at moment as we need to run 2 globals on roster...Beeksma is depth and just that...depth in case we lose Gauthier,Briggs or Cadlwadder...If anything I'd like to see Mauro bumped for Karamoko...He can offer the same as Mauro on teams, and can rotate in on defence and cover at HB or SAM even.....he also was used a bit edge rushing in pre-season much like Mauro...dude is uber athletic.

and some of our "old" players were league All-Stars and 2 won league awards....the age thing is way overblown...especially in this day and age
