Booch

if thats what has to happen to strengthen the team as whole...so be it

then he would have never made the roster...I didnt realize he as here already...fact of the matter tho he was out of football for 2 yrs and nobody was knocking down his door....you would think at the least the Riders would have scrap heaped him

well...if longterm we now where Lemon will be in no time as we sit on our hands...Unless Haba isnt seriously injured and just put there...just in case

I'd like to see when everyone is healthy a trio of Wilson - Biggie - Cole to be honest...with Clements as the DA rotating in...he's actually really excelled this yr off the edge in some sets too...that would be a trio with phenomenal sideline to sideline coverage

Well he did sign a 3 yr deal...and his commitment was taken away from him due to stupid regulations...If that had never happened...good chance Kolo wouldnt even be in the league...as he was already out of the league and we needed a body

He was top 2 ranked center in all of NCAA football into his senior season...and been with club now for better of 2+ seasons....I'm sure he will handle it just fine....considering we grabbed Kolo off the scrap heap with no football being played by him for several yrs

yeahb thats the first time he has been listed behind Kolo isnt it?

I had no issues with Neuf so to speak...was center....but also if a guy was struggling in a game all for an in game swap...if anything just to let him see things from sideline 40+ points tonight

well he dressing...so doubt he sick....I would have went center first...but its a start

he would probably make a good SAM too...dude can run...and hits like a ton again thio..that would be A-1 roster management and make tons of sense...alas we dont tho

all he needs to be is productive for rotational reps to spell off the starters, and some diff looks with all 3 ends on the field...he's wouldnt be here to be a starter, or even be back next yr....

they should also be playing to prove they deserve their spot in the starting lineup as well

I dunno....not too anomalous in my opinion....over 7 seasons has averaged 9 sacks a yr...22 tackles..... and had yrs with 14..14...7...11...9..6...and 13 for sacks....pretty much seems right on par for what he does generally and the 9, 7 and 6 sack seasons he played significantly less games

The baffling part is burning a DA on a fullback...Mauro has shown flashes....just not sure about full reps....and his coverage skills or ability to read whats going on....maybe he will surprise....but still an odd move

nobody really had a need tho did they?...especially early in season when the SMS is kind of unsettled, and locked up....sort of...that or he asking too much initially...but as season wanes on that ask will minimize

with the full projected staring offence playing finally...there should be no reason we don't march up and down the field...and I bet we see the real scheme emerge and some different things that we been sitting on

I never want a loss...dont get me wrong....but sometimes a bitter pill is required....and we have guys here, that know the system so dont need a bye week to be integrated, as nothing goes on during the bye other than the coaches making the call to make a change...so getting the jump and have film to review during the bye allows you to make even better decisions or comparisons I also 100% agree with your second paragraph....that has been a major contributor since game 3....I almost think thats its also a case of the co-ords not showing their cards right now...and at 4-2 and really 1st in the west most likely a given as the Lions aren't all that and as good as people like to think....I'm more or less okay with that if thats the case Is today the day now that we have our full projected Offence playing the game we see the true offence Identity and what we are gonna be 9 times out of 10...I'm thinking so because our front 7 as it is for this game is gonna need it Lemon would be a perfect add....and I all for it...Dude is training harder right now than he prob did in off-season...seen some online clips...Plus he is a vet and would need zero acclimation of any type prob as most teams have money tied up elsewhere...and nobody has a real need...yet....but we do now as HABA is on the 6...and we have....lemme check the PR.........................................................Nobody I bet we see a Lemon drop during the bye

for real?...DA at full back?....6 dlineman?...One of Jeffs go down....Bennett goes in all game.....Or use Walker off edge and Jake gets even more reps?...Sad part we have no DE even available to take Haba's spot, but we do have Fox who should have been rostered....We likely win big...just cause the Elks suck so bad and our Offence should march up and down the field on them looking at that elks depth chart...and that will be in spite of who we rostered

being gassed....is the main contributor to the piss poor tackling display we saw last week.....fact question...do you seriously think this is a good, and adequate roster use today?...

also glomming onto the fact that a coach has won grey cups in the past so he can do no wrong is also a factor....all coaches at times get stuck in a rut and lose an edge...and if they dont get it cack...or refuse to adapt a biut...they either start to lose...make same mistakes...and end up getting a pink slip....not saying we are at the point here...far from it....and totally not needed....but also Osh has a stubbornness and penchant to not at times see the forest thru the trees until its blatantly obvious. Just the fact he wont use that Nationalized rule is proof positive of that as just one example...why ...because he doesnt like it, and is too Pro-Canadian to take advantage of it...of all the teams in the league we are set-up roster wise to get the most out of it

center would do wonders...and is the main issue on the oline...that and Buck flip flopping game plan/scheme and not allowing the unit to get in sync with what works...then adding a few things in game

keepm sucking on the kool aide...u just dont get it...so move on to a new topic

and there is also the rub...Interior of the oline was not getting it done...u have 2 pile moving monster in Eli and Dobson...yet u just keep banging your head against the wall failibng as your QB takes shot...after shot....where is the in-game adustment?...why dress guys if you dont use them...You could use dline guys on the line for short yardage...they dont have to be Olineman....other teams do it...we dont you are blind then....and u cant pinpouint it to specific plays...tho in this case u can in many I just have to say this...who in the CFL burns a DA on a FB....and who here wouldnt laugh their arses off and mock said team for doing so...think about that...especially when u take a look at our current front 7 this game on defense...let that absorb in your thick skulls a minute

exactly!...Or if it was the Riders

there is no reason that Thomas..Sterling...should have been dumped without time to develop on the PR for the ist 3rd of the season, and if they dont suit the need....then you replace and add new blood...especially when we had a guy Jeffcoat who was iffy to start the season....and no depth behind Walker...at all....when he was hardly a proven entity Thank good tho we had 2 import tackles...and 3 globals...2 of which Machino and The punter who will never see a role here other than a courtesy start at end of season when the standings are set and win/loss wont matter... How anyone who doesn't see the poor use of the PR they obviously arent looking at things as a whole....we are starting 6 lineman on defence...2 of whom suck...badly against prob one of the better running QB's in the league...you dont think that may not get into play and be factor after they are chasing him around all game with no real rotational guys available to use?...I sure do...and we saw it in Ottawa...that was a key reason that we got torched in 4th quarter...factor in the none use of Cole after Clements went down for slow as **** Briggs as he was chasing guys around aimlessly....if your backup LB on teams in the staffs opinion isnt adequate enough to step in...then why roster him?....and as Osh says...they all 1st teamers....so why not pull Briggs and try someone else when he was failing so bad?....and dont say it's cause he pulls duty on teams...cause so does Briggs
