Eddie Steele does it for Edmonton too.

except edmont has 7 ol bodies, and 7 dl. So when they dress 7, they have 8 with him. And calgary has the most beat up line in the league.

Also, just to make a THIRD post, it's no coincidence that the only team dressing 2 backups is one of 2 teams with an all-Canadian line. Reason being is that if they suffer two injuries, not only do they need depth, but they need ratio assistance as well.

Also, one more thing to be clear on: no team has used a DI spot on an offensive lineman in any game this year.

What team beside the Blue is starting  3 international olinemen? Fact is we have only 1 raw rookie as backup every situation is different but if we have to put Couture in and wreck his confidence what then? There is many factors  in this decision it's not clear cut at all...

There's no way macho is getting his spot back. Loffler has been playing great and is a national.

what will the fans think if Macho gets his spot back?

can't lose a starting job cause of injury is one of the truisms of football opinionators

There is no place for Macho right now. We need to start an additional NI because Neuf has been replaced by an import. Best Macho can hope for is a DI spot which will become very hard to get once Adams and Randle get healthy.

I know what I will think, and it will not be kind to O'Shea. Harris sounds like a good guy to have on the team, but any time you can replace an import with an equal or better Canuck, that's a no-brainer.

Thats an old wives tale. Same as you cant make the club from the tub. (addison richards rule)

Tons of guys have taken other players jobs due to injury.

Saskatchewan. And who cares. What team has the ability to find 5 Canadians worth starting elsewhere?

 

anyone upset with Harris, Kohlert, Loffler, Westerman and Shologan starting for us?

Not my point,my point was the need to have an experienced international olineman instead of Couture.We made  it through so it's moot now anyway.?

With the way foketi played i was wondering to my self if there is any way we can start 4 imp ol xD

Isn't it amazing what some confidence can do for the team?? Replacing the struggling quarter back kick started the whole process, and a few other replacements such as the safety has really energized the team. Certainly helps to have a kicker who can kick, and a running back that was clearly hurting last night but wouldn't be denied.

What? The Argos has an extra player? And he's an invisible one? Look at the floating helmet.

This is a perfect example that Coaches don't always take experience over rookies . . .

That is such a great shot, in so many ways.

I remember a few weeks ago there were some posters slamming Walters for not having any veteran players on the roster or in that secret house the bombers own on in Transcona  that could come in and plug and play for injured starters. 

Well...we don't need no damn high priced veterans to step in when our vets go down.    High fives to the scouting staff

Isn't it great knowing we have injured players on the verge of coming back that will only make us better? Good times!!

Good knowing we don't have to rush anyone back.

When the head detaches, that's a tackle!
