14 snaps off for one of JJ..WJ...RW would sure be nice on defence

but a healthy dose of Schmekcle would be counter productive to that tho...Thomas is okay for limited reps...but heavy rotation of those 2 up the gut won't be ideal...Maybe Bennet will step up his game and show he belongs...I have seen a bit of progress from him....minimal but it's better than nothing...Maybe we can get him and Mason Bennet mixed up and we take him back home with us lol If i was Haba I'd be pissed off that I wasn't in lineup...for no real reason other than..............???..

yeah thats the kicker...the DA part of iut...but now we have 2..Schmeckle who is ...well....not very good at all

I'd rather Jackson not be on roster next yr, as if he is on for that role again...thats an epic fail by scouting and coaching. I don't think at 32 next year that his upside is worth the developmental reps....his spot will be better served with a legit young prospect who will give good value in 2024, and even better impactful value in 2025 grey cup run at home That's another thing that makes this whole thing more baffling and pointless, it's not like he is a young guy who has a huge ceiling, and has a lot of yrs ahead of him....he is a raw 31 yr old rookie....

yeah he was the corner stone for sure...then we got a vet guard in Neuf to help with the immediate inserting of the Chunghs and Goosens and Desjarlais followed up with the easing in of the Coutures, Grays and and soon to be Dobson and Eli....perfect oline building and forward looking progressions....which is highly likely we go after he best O-line guy this draft, to keep the process moving along....as I am sure 1 vet next yr will be gone....and if we win the Cup likely 2 as I can see Bryant going out on top....but then again....if he still playing at high level...why would he quit? Maybe next yr we can DA Richmond as opposed to Jackson lol...especially if we can bring Bennet and Kongbo back home, then we only need one DA spot for Haba

Sellers was a given....hence not mentioning him...he was a force and a main piece of the offence...Lytle was more a role guy...but very useful all good...I ssumed it got by you as you are not one of the blind squirel chasing a nut posters lol

If Jackson was a Dean Lytle...who actually was usefull in the offence then I'd be more ok with it..as thats the only time I ever recall the Bombers using an American there...tho He was actually rostered and not a DA But he is not, and never will be...and as a fan....and a paying one, would rather see the best lineup game in and game out...not guys playing who shouldn't be...or are rewarded just cause...Guys who are busting their ass in practice too...and can't get a sniff you can bet your bottom dollar see it as well....sure they won't grumble out loud, but I can assure you probably are none too happy about it...who would be? Haba played very, VERY well before injury, and to not be able to get back in lineup where he would add to the team's success and make them even more dominant over all (which should have been a no-brainer) over a FB whom if not dressed you would not even see a difference is been baffling

get a grip...did u not see the LOL???!?!?!?!?!!? Man some people on here so ultra sensitives...I even said last game defence barely saw the field....you have your take...I have mine...is what it is...no need to get yer panties in a wad...or briefs....not sure your choice

has been in the past.....and he played the entire game so you would have figured so....but who knows what and why.....this yr it's hard to see the what and why

yeah..thats it...he conditioned Jeffcoat right onto the IR lol

not sure how we will finish...but yes we have regressed as a team based on what we have seen....saying otherwise is not truly watching...never said that want us to lose....saying we are truly wasting a DA position....any denyiung that is sticking yer noodle in the dirt and not seeing it. Who here says we are as good or dominate as last yr...let alone better?....nobody should be and who saw us giving that win to Ottawa?...I surely didnt he already did that before he was hurt tho well if Schmeckle is part of this "pattern" then I hope he takes a new approach

we start 1 more Canadian than we have to, which makes even more sense to have that extra DA available who could come in anytime and be impactful and if this wasting a roster spot on a DA fullback...who is absolutely only a situational player was such a revelation and ground breaking thing creating uber success...then why is nobody else doing it??....chew on that

Mcrae role is filled by Parker...Scmeckle is a Canadian....on roster for Murphy who ws on in place of Burtenshaw...an actual fullback...who was also Canadian...When JJ is back sadly we will probably remove Haba... Scmeckle plays no teams, and is overmatched...Why Kelly isn't on instead as he is very good on ST's is also a headscratcher.....why we choose to dress 7 dlineman now with probably our worst Canadian option on the PR...mind you we only have 3 Canadian to choose from is also odd...maybe this is another "he practices hard...makes guys smile" situ....I wish some of our Imports practiced hard so they could get on the game day roster here here....someone sees forest thru the trees be thankfull we are actually winning...cause if we wee not, there would be a whole different opinion on this...and don't even go there with we winning cause of this deficiency...cause we are not....and we have regressed from last year, and the thought process of it's hard to repeat a 15-3 season is also flawed....if you are good, and striving to get better, there no reason to match a previous record or top it....that mindset that you can't is flawed thinkng

throwing a guy out there for "defensive coverage" and throwing a guy out there who actually belongs out there are 2 different things...have you not watched his defensive coverage? it's brutal for the pro level and not to burst bubbles...but jumbo packages and lead blocks are not hard to plug and play guys into...sorry....but that reasoning is just flat out not worth anything does anyone even know what his injury even is?..was it disclosed....even vaguely? sad that the injury to a role player and team fullback could cause such a lame roster issue tho....and looked at our roster...specifically the PR and man...what a sad state that is in with regards to Canadian depth....depth being a loosely used word as there is absolutely none that could step in and be significant in any regard...its pittyful to be honest

useless in the fact a Canadian can do that role, and allow us to roster an impact defender....Brady isn't sucessful due to a DA fullback...if u truly believe that not sure what to say

well moving forward will have to be tho....when JJ is off the IR...who else would be removed...anyone else would just weaken team overall and practically thinking what does a DA import fullback....who has never played Canadian ball...let alone full back, and has 4 yrs of total experience in football bring to a professional Canadian roster that another Canadian player couldn't?....especially one who has actually played that position, and has a yr of pro ball already under his belt....I could see if he was just extremely exceptional...gets used in screens and rips off first downs and is a dependable 2nd down conversion guy or something....but he offers none of that.....it's just an utter waste Good to see Haba back in tho, and hope to see where he at, and if picks right up where he was before...that being said...if he kills it...again....and when Jeffcoat is back I am sure for the T.O game....does Osh sit him again, when defensive pressure and presence likely will be key for a useless fullback?

pretty sad when you have to put in a player like Schmekel because you have nothing else worth the while....Not sure why we didnt insert the young DB as at least he is quite good on ST....

to much ambiguity and grey areas with the CFL rule book and how things are handled...any rules plucked off the internet almost makes me wonder if not entirely accurate anymore, or even 100 percent adhered to...cause I know for certainty you could flip a guy over retro-active...within a timeframe..1..2..games....just the same as the other squabble we had about contracts....standard entry contract says one thing....but was confirmed otherwise that BC could have re-did yr 3 of Rourkes deal for legit money....even tho argued here incessantly as otherwise

yeah...but anyone can do that....not like he is the key...thats the bizzare part...his backup defensive coverage would be covered exceptionally better by Haba, who was also on ST coverage teams and like they say..Jack of all trades...master of none....and his defensive reps are uglier than Bennet's...which is not saying much as my previous comment...he really doesnt excel at anything....even some of his fullback use...BO has literally had to run thru/over him on some runs he is no part of that success....a true fullback...aka Burtenshaw who played the position in College would do just as good, if not better, and not burn a DA spot....13 games in now...still cant see the reasoning other than an Osh woody

I sense a Haba appearance....with Murphy off I think maybe we see Burtenshaw back, and Haba for the Seal.....and with Clements in already for Mcrae, and Parker as extra defender, and returner that this may be our go to for the yr until Grant, Hansen and Miller get back, or some unforseen signing

3 dsell outs and what...6 over 30k?.....cold weather here doesn't deter the fanbase....if we rolling I can see that final game close if not sold out

yup...more risk for injury when you ease up....sit when its not warranted and try and play not to....just go out there business as usual

Yeah I believe in the 2nd week u can flip a 1 game injured guy over...without restarting the 6 game process

I'm of the adage u just forge on...no unnecessary extra rest and let cards fall where they may ..keep Momo going and if someone goes down next man up

you would also think that Kelly and the staff in T.O would want Kelly to face the best defence in league...and best he will face all year to see how he fares, what he can be successful at, and what he was totally over matched with....so come Grey Cup if you get there, you aren't swinging and missing there. For all intents an purposes Kelly is a rookie, and is still not a true established guy...on the cusp, but there is a ton of stuff he hasn't seen, let alone experienced yet....would be a fools game to go in and have the lets not try attitude and play some scrubs...tho with roster size you are severely limited with the amount of scrubs you can start anyway... lots of guys float around the NFL for yrs....and how much play time did he get while floating....diddly squats worth...and sure he a second yr guy, with all of 40 snaps under his belt...
