Booch

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...

or we go right off-script...show a bunch of new, and creative things....never to be seen again....but leave a lasting impression and something to think about

yeah...hard to say and a lot of speculations...with who got what....gets what....what we stashed..etc....but as a cap management aspect thats generally what the smart GM's do with allotment of the money....none the less tho...we will have a nice lil kitty available for re-ups/extensions going into 2024/25 which will greatly help the 2024 SMS

not always actually...and often rarely...Like I mentioned teams will have a allotment of monies set aside and accounted for in the over all SMS for the yr for injury replacements, and roster additions, that isn't coming from the allotted total money for the presumed 46 man roster....if it gets real bad injury wise then yes some will come from that savings, but for the most part they have that covered to an extent, because if they didn't they would be in cap hell in some scenarios Fairly certain when all said and done we will have about 500k at least to put toward 2024 contracts

CFL rosters only allow to sit so many guys any way.....and works in reverse as well....You don't play the "regs" against a team using their actual schemes too...then just trot out there when it means something and hope they can solve whatever a team is doing on its first look at it can be a recipe for failure too.... I hope they sit a few what they consider key players...and we trounce em...and the pundits yammer on with the "yeah buts"....be the perfect scenario in my opinion

the Argo offence has been seen already...like all the other teams, and there is nothing they are "holding" out on any more than us...or any team for that matter

yes.....saving there as well, as you ae not having to account for 2 salaries for 1 position on the roster

when you work your SMS you allocate the whole salaries if all bonuses and hard money is met, and also you allocate certain amount for injuries....etc....so it's actually not a matter of that coming out of savings on the 6 game...thats not how it works....GM's have pools of money in 3 piles to make it simple that they divy up prior to making roster...and those piles will fluctuate as they build and the actual hard numbers become realized....so essentially yes it's a lot of pure surplus....my understanding, and recall is that the smart gm's will allocate between 4-7 entry level deal portions of money...pro-rated to varying degrees for injury management

yeah I know...I edited i and excepted it this time...I guess big Willie was just too much for the censors hahaa most guys mentioned if at all other than Lawler got next to nothing upfront...or if did was minimal...and that 42k will basically be nice up front money for BO toward 2024 but paid in 2023
