Booch

as I was also saying earlier....I don't...and fans shouldn't put too much weight into the PFF ratings and see it as gospel....and has to be true......it's nowhere near where a player would rank based on how steams and their staff grade things after a game....in my opinion its a joke TBH

its pointless...dumb...and a waste...A number of guys on the roster....Canadian ones at that can do that role, and a player such as Fox..Swarmay...Parker...Garbutt....Clements when healthy would serve a heck of a lot more value....and all contribute on special teams....There is no practical, or logical reason for him to dress, and any argument for it to try and justify it is just nonsense and an attempt to mask the fact that Oshea has a track record of poor roster management from the get go...still has it, and will play guys that in his mind for a lack of a better word are his favorites...talent or usefulness be damned....plain and simple and nobody here in the media has the onions to call him on it, or question him about it as they know they will get the Osh doucher response, and likely pay the price for it going forward with them not getting the access and insight for articles any more...convince me other wise if you can but I have been around this game inside and out long enough...and talk to a lot of people still in it to know better

complacency...and teams coming at us with their best each game...cause they sick about hearing of our dominance factored into the firatv3rd of season...time to buck up and get the fire and urgency back...plain and simple

not sure why people think the waste of a DA on Jackson was a tweak and an adjustment to combat the BC pressure....he was in that exact same roster spot for that game....and hamstringing yourself by removing a playmaker for a full back, when a scheme and game plan tweak is all that was/is needed is beyond dumb....It was a bad game plan...an anomaly of a freak off performance by the Bombers...and the guys were content being at home all fat and sassy figuring they just needed to show up, and everything would get taken care of like it has been for last 2+ yrs.....and they were wrong and got punched right in the pie hole for it....when a hungry BC team came in and balled out....Now is the point where we punch back and re-establish who's the boss in the West...or we turtle and cower and concede things....I see the punch back coming...likely a K.O

I bet today...we see the "actual" schemes and game plans moving forward....what we have seen to date in my opinion isnt what we actually are

I think we see an offensive statement game...to shut up all the BC love going on...have to remember....we rolled up and down the field on what is basically the same defense last yr in every game ...and that was without the best WR in the league and if anything...if we have to play th west final in BC...it will be perfect conditions and the best team should win on that alone...bad weather games before have allowed a lesser team to eeek out a win

that and BC has escaped the injury plague....they could start piling up for them at the wrong time.....bulk of the important prt of the season is just beginning....and we know with the Bombers...been there...done that...seen it all...theywont be affected by pressure or adversity...nope

in this day and time assuming rust as a factor is a lil over used now....and guys even tho on injured list are now doing more work than prob guys on active roster...I'm not too concerned when it is a vet coming back, as they basically react and go on muscle memeory...no thought or analyzing whats going on before they react goes on now for the most part....a newer guy cant do that....I bet we see a huge impact overall on defence with 2 solid vets returning

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
