Booch

I wouldnt go that far...lots can happen in the last 10 games....but it would put us behind the 8 ball somewhat

save for a few odd decisions probably our healthiest roster of the yr, with most of the pre-camp projected starters back

max effort...no brain cramps...I see us wining comfortably

definitely will be game of the week...I expect an intense hard pounding game

and he won't give a legit answer...just his usual smart ass schtick and dances around the topic

Thats the key thing....what s to say one of or both Rose and Wilson get tweaked?...zero coverage...Kramdi is an 8th starter....but really we don't capitalize on that anywhere. We could pull Thomas and or Lawson for Fox or the new DE...with no effect on our ratio for that play...we could also then use say Jeffcoat as the Nationalized guy 23 times for one of Cole or Darby in Kramdi's spot...but we fail to do that as well. Jackson sure...nice story...good guy...But we could use. as we have already Gray as a fullback...he's more than athletic enough and slide Eli or Dobson in at guard, and get better use of that DA spot....yet we choose not to...why?...when it makes over all team stronger.....Same with for all the use Bennett has been....we could slap Murphy or Kelly in his roster spot if we dressed The Jeffs..Lawson..Thomas..Walker..Haba and one of Fox or that new End...and be better off ....not sure why we wont...or dont

as it sits...I would assume Kramdi is the 8th canadian starter, and we only likely declare 1 on defense...well that would be the smart thing...but smart with our roster seems to have gone by bye....speaking of which @DTonOB have you asked, or can you ask Osh why he is the only coach not utilizing the Nationalized player when it would obviously benefit us in more ways than one...and as the coach...is it not his job to put the best team out there and refuses to do so?....Inquiring minds want to know Biggie...Wilson and I think Mauro can al do it...and we have gone games with Jackson not dressed, so obviously someone was the backup..that excuse is a pile of sh!t

thats what I said earlier...pointless reason...but I sure that isn't the thought process for why.....but wish Osh could give us the reason tho for his moves...but all he gives is smart arse comments...Like when asked about gys running reps with the #1's...the obvious starters for this game....he spouts off his schtick of "what makes you think those are the #1's" and "all the guys are #1's"...ya ya we get it....You consider all the guys on the roster as capable guys...but c'mon man...stop being such a tool about it when it is flat out obvious some different guys were taking starters reps with the other starters

BC loses a Dline guy...they replace him with another....we Lose a Dline guy...we replace with a fullback....makes sense yup

100 PERCENT.....BC also tho has been healthy all yr, especially on defense and I think VA/Evans is a wash there anyway...both are kinda hot/cold guys and lack consistency...

I expect us to win....hope we win....but to win we gonna need to shoot the lights out on offence and try and keep our defense off field as much as we can.... that would be ideal as those players there...and Fox would be a nice group...will we ever see it tho

and 8 actual DB's as well....hence why they been so stout on defence this yr...they dont wear down as game goes on....look at their depth chart...an then ours...and then make an intelligent decision on which looks better, and one you would prefer with Briggs or Kramdi flailing away trying to make the tackle....cause they Osh boys who been here 3+ yrs and prob our best tackler (parker) is on sidelines thinking...yeah I coulda made that play...while The Jeffs and Walker are puking in a pail they so bagged out

what other team in the CFL would roster those 2 guys as defensive rotation pieces...I cant think of one and yeah....you can get away with a smaller guy way moe effectively now...thats why our cheetah with 4 ends worked so good.....too bad we didnt have/use 4 guys in that manner healthiest lineup we have had all yr for sure with projected starters being available...I wouldn't say the strongest lineup tho, as we are thin in the second most important part of the team....have no return threat at all now in the punt return aspect, and had our second best HB back on roster last game (and probably most versatile).....then promptly sit him down basically for a fullback

didnt help last game against them....and to alleviate that pressure...you scheme for it better and then they cant pin ears back and come after you...we didnt do that....a FB in if we dont have a scheme for that isn't gonna help us...especially when his insert takes a playmaker off the field

damn good thing we have a roster of #1's according to Osh....or else we be screwed lol

but really...we have enough ST guys anyway...and I sure a Canadian who has had reps there before...can be adequate in that role when we playing one of the better offenses in the league...with minimal defensive depth and 2 guys fresh off the 6 game Just look at BC depth chart...and rotational depth they have on defense....and what they have been doing this yr...then look at ours....and correlate it to the issues we have been plagued with on defense...BC defense is gonna be fresh all game and bringing the heat...so hopefully Buck has schemed for it...looking at their depth chart doesnt have me feeling too good

but we have one of our fullbacks from last yr on roster now tho...and thats not a scheme you scheme for, as you don't know where he is lining up, or if he is dropping out...so that would be pointless

but we have a backup fullback who is one of our DA's...so we good...we started the8...9 dlineman trend a few yrs back....surely we faking teams out to follow suit and burn a DA spot on a pointless player...Kudos to you coach Osh...u sneaky s.o.b

IF we used him on the dline...or even just tried him out a few snaps then I'd be somewhat ok with it...but still not ideal...

then why he on roter?..I'd say a return from an achilles and a CB who had a foot issue is more vital to back up than a fullback who may get a handfull of snaps...especially when we have had games this yr where we didnt even dress/declare one on the depth chart Meanwhile BC has 9 dlineman dressed...and 8 DB's....Their defense wont be getting gassed or have injury issues......again Next to Nichols...Parker is our next best HB...sorry all u Holm lovers nut thats a fact

we do have some coverage....but shuffling 3 guys around to replace 1 guy in event of injury isn't ideal...or smart either....plus the fact you go into a game where good field position might be a key thing in winning, but u pooch the only true PR guy you had on roster...basically for a fulback....is just.....dumb....anyway you look at it

but Osh is perfect.....so I hear here...his main flaw...for yrs...is still there...and actually getting worse tbh

and a rotation we were somewhat first to do and excel at...thats the funny part

Lions will be without Dlineman Josh Banks for tomorrows game....how much does anyone wanna bet BC doesn't dress a useless DA fullback....or feel need maybe for another Olineman to stand around all game?...I bet they also have adequate back-up in the defensive backfield....guess we will see shortly Far from it...and you have 2 guys coming back on defense from injury, and there is always the risk that they could re-aggravate....yet you remove the one guy who could fill in for 3 spots on defense in case that happens...in favor of a fullback who likely only sees special teams reps now, as why would you us him on offence and have to replace an american receiver??

having football knowledge....and actually using it seems to have no place here in some regards....baffling indeed
