Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah...was gonna say he's not regressed in the least...still best HB in league bar none League leader most likely....u have to also consider many games we were up a buttload and teams abandoned the run as they played catch-up and we also ran a lot of prevent soft coverage allowing garbage stats -

Well for one...he's not a corner -
Well maybe needing to get 25..30 less yards in a drive will make the task easier....it's pretty tough when you have to string together 9..10..11 play drives to get that TD...maybe that's a bit of the feeling of needing to force it Grants been out since week 5....kinda coincides with when the offence seemed to go in these spells of inefficiency...have to admit the field position swings and starting usually behind the 40 if we have to return a kickoff and having no real position flips with any punt returns has been glaring...seems we always starting drives between the 15 and 30

I don't think 1 special teams tackle and 1 reception for 0 yards is ROY worthy -
Thats all we need/want him for...he could back up HB/CB and SAM as well as return.....and he is great on ST coverage....major areas where we are lacking/hurting for the most part...plus we wouldn't have to DA a extra DB..so after Grant and Castillo could put both Haba and Fox on....
-
yup....huge addition back to the lineup...and last I remember BC was actually scared to even kick it to him...so not even touching the ball we are going to be starting off in better field position than we would have been if one of the other guys had to field a kickoff
-
yeah maybe I guess...still lame lol
-
it's about the quality of the bodies, and the ripple effect it could have on the roster in a positive way....he has every right to cling to hope and make no money...gain no film...and even less experience....but it's bad advice if he is doing so based on being told to...also from as far as I know, he has had no looks in any kind of workouts, let alone evn had agent called...he's wasting his yr.... it wont....you know how many guys just like him and many better who got cut....looking...waiting...who have their whole lifetime of football experience in American ball?....it not happening for him....I truly shocked it even did in first place....I'm sure a young Canadian kid would be more than happy to have been pulling in 4300 clams a game
-
o those reports full participant guys should be listed as something other than questionable..Coach's Decision or Game Day as it misleads
-
needs to play that way as he is a horrible tackler...probably the worst of all the DB's we have ...
-
I wouldn't be surprised to see Lawrence in for Houston to be honest....Grant will be in, but for whom is the question. I would think we may want to have that extra DB rostered as well, so really to facilitate that the only 2 options are Jackson and likely Clements/Cole tho I think Cole gives us more on ST's as well as rotational use on defence. If Gauthier was back he could fill that extra LB role who could be spotted in for defensive reps and not really hurt us...Briggs is not that guy anymore. Our roster makeup/configuration is so limiting to us that when we get Grant back and and want to keep Cole on we can't even DA an extra dline guy and DB...It's one or the other....Having Ford back would be so beneficial to us ratio/roster wise as he could fill multiple roles, that and or a savy trade to actually land a legit National starter quality or high end rotational piece to the defence to assist the dline
-
he has definatly not played up to MOP standards for sure....gets into lil funks where he is trying to force things, and then we see the turnovers which we didnt see for 3 yrs for most part...and also gets anxious in pocket, and from reviewing a lot of it, anxious for no reason and it causes issues we didnt see. People are talking about the Oline...well mostly here and in all honesty they are still tops in league, and ZC has done some things to make them seem out of sync. Sure guys have been beat...always will be on any line, but if they were inferior and an issue, we wouldn't be leading in a ton of offensive numbers. For most part I don't really have issues with the offence, as long as we keep to what we excel at, and keep ZC corralled and stay on script and not try and get all or nothing crazy with his passing. It's the defensive side of things that are scaring me....not so much talent wise, but how we use the talent, and how we sacrifice talent for slugs....sadly tho looking how Osh has structured the roster this yr more deeply, we pretty much have limited options, especially with his penchant for wasting a spot, unless we make a nice deal today before the deadline and if Ford would realize wasting this season on hopes and drams is foolish, and not happening for him...and with no new film this yr, won't be getting a look next yr either, and only option would be in TC here...so may as well get here now
-
where did I say players and management share that sentiment?....nowhere...we also a .500 team over our last 4 games....and several of our last few wins save for a couple blowouts have been less than convincing...we also lost 2 games to teams with a combined losing record.....so to say that we are merrily rolling along and a crucial time would be a lil foolish....and track record means nothing now....sports is a what have you done for me lately business...we are teetering on the cusp of an epic flop...or another insane run...it's a 50/50 thing right now whether you see it or not.....I sure must be living in your head as you never fail to come out with a less than thought out retort ...so safe to say if we lose this weekend...and are in second...your faith is gone?...as per your statement above?
-
and if I indulged here...as many peruse...that be the end of that
-
one would...think??....sometimes I wonder what swirls around in his brain compartment behind that smug look and penchant for not answering questions...or answering them with a question
-
afraid of 5 as well....the next cup they would get in their sad over a century existence
-
And we will be practicing in it for days..if not weeks perhaps..nicely acclimated to it...and they will have a day of being exposed to it...bodes even more in our favour
-
hard to chase anyone with a shattered knee hahaha
-
someone with a bat....asp...
-
someone needs to Tanya Harding him I guess...sadly
-
thing is...we have a Canadian fullback on our roster...well PR....A guy with yrs of experience playing the position...and also contributes on ST....So not using him for some man love the coach has is just ridiculous we've also had games with no DA fullback...and did just fine...actually didnt even have a Fullback spot on depth chart...weeks 4...5....and 6
-
not every game I believe...but also someone has to come off...both Clements and Cole serve ay more use on teams...as they actually make impact, as well as defensive rotations.....Keeping Jackson on at the expense of one of them just further hamstrings our depth and useful rotation players
-
So we have Grant back in full gear practicing.....nice to see....Is this how we see Jackson finally off roster?....Removing one of Cole or Clements to keep him on...well would be pointless....bordering on useless

Didnt help tho ZC had some Dolegala/Cornelius accuracy that game, and 2 real fluke pass break-ups where 9 times out of 10 they wouldn't have happened...
