Booch

never said I envy the Cats...I envy the way they have their defensive front rostered, and I would toss out Schmeckle..Bennett..Thomas in a heartbeat for pretty much any one of their guys....with out a second thought Thats it....has nothing to do with anything else about them...other than that McCallister on offence the east...where 2of those crappy teams beat us...who care how and why it happened...but it happened and at end of day all that matters is wins and losses...

well Oakman was/is hurt so not a surprise there, and really could care less who is playing for them....casue if we play our game we win regardless....so missing a few guys should make us want to really squash them....this is the game if we up by a big margin to really run it up...who cares how it looks, and thats what you get coming into a barometer game and kind of wussying out Thank good Schmeckle is out...Kelly is a good add for ST's and really due to our lousy depth the only other option on defence. When you finally get Hansen back, to also delete Haba is just dumb...why?....it's an easy flip of Jackson for him. We can use an extra olineman....Baily...even Briggs or Cadwaladderatermater for gods sake and get same effect.....I'm sure Hanse as well would be a destructive fullback for 6 snaps a game wiping guys out.....just a dumb roster decision again....but expected nothing less

look at their craptacular offence tho, and using a 3rd string QB for most of year....I dare to dream of that roster usage....they have been more a dumpster fire cause of that offence, and some bad coaching decisions in game...and really have 4 fewer wins than us...and also what...4 beat downs by the Argos??....and they beat us too

If we actually ca get Hansen on...solves one issue, how we can't find a Canadian punter and allow us to put Karamoko on the roster to bolster teams, as well as be a backup in secondary is troublesome...with all our ST crap play, having a average to good Canadian there I bet would serve us no worse, and I actually think us continuing to try and out smart teams with the Aussie stuff is part of why we suck so bad...to me that global spot is as much a waste as Jackson being on roster...Sheehan never impressed me at all right from camp. If Ford would just get his arse back here that would help us out bigtime....he can return , and he could be the role Parker has right now, allowing us to get Fox on the roster along with Haba or Deng.....but we just keep trotting out Jackson there for no real reason that I can see, as umpteen guys on our roster can do that role...and probably better. A smart thing as well would be to get Deng on this week in lieu of Clements or Cole and see what he brings...and if anything we show sets with 4 de's on the field giving the Argo o-line fits, it just adds extra study and scheming for teams to have to account for all of a sudden....status quo and just accepting outcomes right now is a fast track to early exit

yup...we basically started that trend...and excelled with it...Can't see anyone following this lack luster trend in regards to the defensive line....save for our starters the Jeff's...Lawson and Haba when he is actually rostered, the rest is just a pitiful sadsack group....It baffles me that "media" still chimes in about our dominant top of the league Dline...I think they still thinking of a line with the Jeff's, Stove and Nevis in the middle and Kongbo and Hansen rotating in...Top ends, and one of the better Canadian interior guys in Lawson....after that....crap

I believe the deadline is usually the frat week, or 2 of Oct for that player to be eligible to play for the new team in playoffs...anything after that they cant

look at the Cats active roster for DL guys....Mason Bennet....Malik Carney...Tre Crawford...Ja'GaredDavis...Jamal Davis...Jarrod Hewitt...Kongbo...Ted Laurent...Sayles...Dylan Wynn....also have a Global on the PR and 3 on the 6 game....dare to dream here Something has to give there you would think.......any one of those guys would punt our Bennett, Schmeckle, and Thomas right off the line-up...That's pretty sad

love to have him back if he ws healthy tho

Hurt

at this pint in season...there's nothing left to the imagination...it is what it is other than any game to game tweaks to the scheme.....

So the Cats signed Jamall Davis now...they have a glut of DE's there....National and American...Cmon Walters...work a deal for one of their Canadian ones...either or of Kongbo or Bennett will do.....you can send them our Bennett to sweeten the deal

well....the "our guy" reasoning is pretty weak tho....says that if he goes down....u guys are effed...hard "our guy" was out 2 games basically...we went 2-0....and one them was against CGY where "your guy" missed...and you lost....so there is that angle....tho from experience comparisons from game to game with same teams played means jack crap as each game has it's own set of circumstances and flow yup...Osh needs to turn up the prick/authoritarian factor a bit, and put the swell guy thing in his pocket for a while, and stop with the smug looks and non answers and dodging things in the media when we lose....accept the facts and adress it...your team won't hate you for it and siop playing....thats where we are severely hampered right now, and a lot of guys are comfy in the fact right now there are no real consequences, and thy know if they keep sneaking by with some wins...even after a pityfull performance than things are safe...almost think some the co-ordinators feel the same...mind you when handcuffed with some truly crappy roster decisions I guess they gotta go with what Daddy gave em

she prob would have a distance order on him to keep 100 feet away

yeah...we seemed to have gotten leaner last 2 yrs...Traded away a guy...dumped one....Hansen went down last yr...eventually we brought in that scrap pile Adams from Sask....but our lean front hurt us

I could come off my couch and offer just as much sadly...lol....I still long snap as I train younger players how to, as it's a lot of times the ticket they need down south for looks.

wannabe and never will be all wrapped into one nice lil package

likely got tired to talking to themselves in whatever forum they have...do they have one?...

sure....but doesn't do any of them well....or above average....is a ghost on ST's and non factor there...one could say our ST sucks more this yr due to his rostering?.....no?.....goes both ways And to say we have been winning, due to him on roster and whatever role it is he assumes and his contribution to those wins was key is laughable...actually kind of sad to even bring that up to be honest...we won games as well when he was not on the roster, so obviously whomever it was that had his spot caused us to win as well

yeah....advantageous position they have being in the East with more games vs those turds...and minimal travel inconveniences as well with 3 teams withing pissing distance of them

thats how I would roll with things with what we currently have on roster/PR I would even try the new guy in over Fox to see what he brings, as we often line Jeffcoat and Willie inside with one of Walker or Lawson so we could get away with an extra speed guy

Hansen alone would be a nice addition to rotate wit the Jeff's, and if we roster another legit end to go with that.....I like the look of that down the stretch Gimme a Hansen and another end...with a sprinkling of Grant and a dash of Ford, and I would feel good going into play-offs

True....But I think our offence, and QB with BO tenderizing meat all game would fare much better than the VAJ and their group of receivers and slight RB....Not to mention our oline and BO pounding that undersized dline into ground chuck.....all happening with deafening noise all around them I almost take this as a bit of a cop out on the Argo's, as I bet even with their full squad, we were gonna beat them, possibly handily....not so much as to not show their cards, as all teams cards are well known now, but moreso for the "yeah but" part

and we have used Gray in the same spot as Jackson....Many forget a few games this yr our depth chart didnt even list a Fullback and we did just fine too without Jackson on roster. We drafted a fullback (Burtenshaw) who actually played that position in University....so why we don't use him is sad to say the least, as we bastardize the defensive depth for a hrdon Oshea has for a player with minimal skill at any position he has lined up for...and obviously he is no demon on teams as he has what...maybe 1 tackle??

no...as we had all 3 before...One extra DE is easy....2 is possible with the stupid Jackson thing abolished.....or even an extra DE in lieu of Cole...Or Clements.....as Deng has athleticism to pretty much make one of those guys disposable on game day, and really...Both are never on field at same time on defence anyway.....so would be a good trade off....Jackson offers us nothing that anyone else on the roster can't do...so wasting that DA spot is plain dumb....And his insertion takes a playmaker off the field. Sheed could even fill that role even just as well....been doing similar stuff and obliterating DE's and edge rushers for 3 yrs here now

if we re-visit history, and when we went from good to dominant in a playoff run...the lil roster tweaks and under radar additions happened right around now....so we shall see
