All things considered with injuries...poor roster usage...after Mtl loss last night we basically have given up least points per game now....keep it to under 23 tonight and we will be the number one defense in points allowed. Factor in at some point we will get Garbutt...Fox...Parker....Possibly Lawson all back....Ford more experience...Same with Bonds tho he is already lights out and also soon to be 28...so he knows whats going on.....and if Osh pulls face outta his own sphincter and actually rosters WJ/Garbutt/Woods/Adams/FOx/Lawson/Hubert in some fashion....drop some dead wood (Thomas) relegate others tomback-up/role players (Biggie/BA) and forget about this Kramdi fascination...we have the makings of a very good defense.

Griffen would offer way more than Kramitupyourkramhole at SAM....But I also think the best option would be Cole at SAM...Griffen for Holmboy and Holmboy at safety....that would give us more physicality and tackling ability closer to the line...and I would bet Holm would become a pickin' machine at free safety. Be nice to know whats up with Parker tho and if he will be back....as he was our best tackling DB last yr...and would be a nice addition to the secondary at HB....with Holmboy at safety

Gauthier has hardly seen the field for defensive snaps so far...I wonder if it's because Osh doesn't want to expose the fact that a pedestrian foot soldier linebacker will show more than our high paid gotta have vet whether he healthy or not LB....

yup...consideroing until Smith got back in...we lost the field position battle in a big way I like Smith...he gonna be good....but it should never have came to an open audition for returner

hard not to argue...They beat the Elks..Well the Elks in Elks fashion handed that to them...2 win against Ham...and those were not dominant wins by any stretch, and the T.O win again was a game handed to them. Hardly a juggernaut Now they have some injuries...and face B.C...mtl...Hopefully a resurrected us...and Edm again...who I bet will beat them....that snappy start will be in rear view..

that dline and LB group is just flat out ugly...and by far worst in the league in this current form...and sadly doesn't/didn't have to be

Who told you that tho...that's just an assumption..

Nope...none...if that was the case he would have been gone last yr....even before camp broke Thomas was being mentioned as a key returning Canadian starter

I remember that happening here...oh well we plum full of over paid...aged out...sub par talent so we good

Yeah...how and why we didn't bring him back is sickening...Jake's salary would look good there...or BA's...Part of Biggies...Kramdis stupid amount...Kolo...what a shame

Dukes doing what Collaro's "used" to be able to do

Anyone who doesn't think Carey in BO's role for half of the price wouldn't put up as good or better numbers is crazy

Pressures are very subjective....a QB may move his launch point from the perceived threat of a different guy tho., but to the untrained eye looks like a different player caused it...which is not the case...Thats why most leagues, and also player evaluators dont use it as a metric I spend probably 4 months of the yr working with and evaluating and training players, so I think I have a good grasp of who is doing what...what and who is effective and that stats are a lot of time..as they say....for losers And from the last 2 yrs and now this yr of watching bomber dline play a lot of Thomas' "stats" are a direct result of the play getting funneled into him where he was basically held up, from pressure and attacking lineman away from him...All you need to see is lateral movement with purpose, and agility....tackles of a ball carrier at..behind...or along the line of scrimmage from stretching out a play, or a backside pursuit and ball carrier take down...I bet you cant find any of that from him on film this year....you can from the other interior guys tho....if you wanna evaluate a guy...look for that...

Thomas' pressures must be sneaky ones...or just a line collapsing...cause I rarely see him getting after the QB or requiring him to move around in the pocket...I've also seen Woods get pressures too...yet he has 0...he also has made a lot of plays with backside pursuit...same with Fox when he was in and Adams...Save for that one play last week ol Jakie Poo is usually lolly gagging behiond the play and trots/tippy toes up to it after the fact

AHHH...I never looked at sched..I thought it was 2 We all a Lil bit crazy...some of us a lot...I lean toward alot

But they have a back in Mills who will eat those 3 guys for dinner yup....made it seem closer than it was...also a weird decision too if we tied with them and goes for points for/against in head to head

piece de resistance! I bet we the envy of the league

we are standing pat, and not maximizing our roster...or looking to be better...thats what we are doing....it's kinda embarrassing to be honest I just hope having ZC back that it doesnt means he will have tunnel vision..yet again...try to force everything to Demski and Woli and ignore everyone else....Johnson I truly think would put up some numbers if actually used. I alos think we sleeping on Clercius and mismatches he can bring If ZC is still turning up the suck tho...I hope he is on a very very short leash...But reading Osh's comments in a article how he still clings to the belief that he says ZC is best in the league leads me to believe we will have a full game of watching him implode even more until he gets hurt. Also his steamer for Kramdi is bordering on comical...as are some those comments....good god

this is true...but that being said...it could have and can have great results if use of players is done to the best of our ability...why settle for good?....Good won't get it done...good hasnt got it done for 2+ yrs now

not Winnipeg over Adams and Woods/Fox......ooops....my bad yup...pointless as well especially with 7 oline guys dressed...another no need roster move MCI in...Feltmate out...and at the lest give Samson some game day roster time and see what he has...or Charbonneau who would help on teams....cripes even Jeremy Murphy....to see if he has the chops...or time to cut baiot as well and replace with a different player....These couls also ll be in lieu of Thomas co-ords have input...end of the day HC sets roster and co-ords have to work from what they have and what the coach wants....A lot of times a HC will say who and how he wants reps used as well....And nobody will convince me that Younger wants Thomas for 80% of snaps...and some Schmeck...when with what he wants to run and scheme the use of Adams..Fox and Woods would make his scheme lights out....but he has to follow the HC Same with SAM...Osh wants to play his Canadian Boi there, but if you were to ask younger off the record if he would like Wilson..Griffen....heck even Bridges I bet you my left nut he would say damn straight...and I like ol Lefty...Maybe I wil ask

yeah did he even step on the field last game?

Lucky the de

Hubert has nice potential....but that being said I don't see him as a ready for primetime lions share of reps guy yet...nor do I see him actually anything more than a real nice rotation piece to allow a WJ and whomever else we roster a breather Lucky....athletic for sure...and a motor but I seem to recall him not too effective when matched up against the big boys, and shedding blocks...etc...and this all goes back to pedigree and from where he came from...no offence to him but its just fact. Same with a guy coming straight from the NCAA as a rookie and making an impact....whereas it is super rare for a CIS kid to do the same...it's all about the training...coaching...competition...etc...the pedigree.......so this rostering is a bit suspect at best

yup...typical Osh....and nothing is gonna change...unless injury...and even then he still can't do it right you are totally correct...Save for Ford...None the others on defense are an upgrade over what we could give reps to Clecius I agree should be given every opportunity possible..Dude will be a stud...already is yup this...we could have also kept Fayed for now...and dumped Mcghee...who was on PR last yr...and again this yr with 2 rookies and Griffen ahead of him...as well as Ford...so we keeping him again because?????...just flat out poor management...again prick needs to be good and a difference maker...huge point to consider too...Kramdi...is neither...he's adequately average at best and makes too many mistakes for a 4th yr guy Thomas has showed less than both...well any dline guy we rostered

u the only one...for what reason would you "list" 11 as a starter...and they get majority of reps...when you dont have to...and you have better options in lieu of them?...If u get a big steamer out od watching Canadians play...go support yhour local University..Junior or grass roots league...Its pointless what Osh is doing...doesnt give us the best roster...and the epic slop we been served far too often this past while is a direct reflection of it
