White out Friday to celebrate the Back-2-Back champs. Gotta get the word out, so that everyone will know. 

I’m hoping this is the week where Augustine becomes the number one. Again the guy with his speed just creates something on every carry, got to get him more involved he only had 7 carries compared to Oliveria’s 14, should be the other way around.

Yuck. As bad as Rose has been Houston would be a pretty big downgrade.

If Rose is hurt, this is a good time to let someone else show what they've got... I thought Houston was decent in spot duty last year... let's see what he can do in a full game and then the team will know what they have

I agree with Bubba, I seem to remember Houston getting burned a lot last year.  Now, with how much Rose has been getting burned in the last 2 games, maybe the swap would be a wash... time will tell.

he got burned bad twice first game....second game he wasn't getting burned....people need to chill a bit...guess we hd all our guys getting burned then in the scheme  that had Ottawa take the passes underneath and in front of them, yet outta the endzone and not getting beat over the top...Adams had that one just as the rain and wind picked up...but other than that was minimal...and that was a great throw as Rose had good coverage and almost knocked it away

Rose is still undoubtedly hurt. I’m ok with giving him some time to rest if that’s the case. Grey Cups aren’t won in June, I’d rather see him healthy and playing to the best of his ability. In week one he got burnt, week two he was playing off so far that everything was open underneath it makes me speculate that with his injury he just doesn’t have the speed to keep up right now.

Feeling like everyone is confusing Josh Miller and Houston from last year. Miller got burnt a lot.

There was this dude a couple seasons back too.. Roc  Carmichael maybe? That dude got burned lots. Houston is a feel good story. Rose has been wilted 

Yup. Roc got roasted quite a bit during his short stay lol.

I don't have any memory of Houston playing poorly last year. I'm very okay with giving Rose time off to heal up whatever the issue is. 

Houston was okay as a rookie....and says something if we didnt break bank to keep Jones, got rid of Miller and kept him

Just a couple more tweets from today's practice....

 

Miller was awful and probably cost us our early season game against Toronto with his poor play. Houston on the other hand seemed fine whenever he went in.

one more note from practice today - Yoshi was in at RT, so hopefully not much to be concerned about with his knee.

Yeah god forbid we get an injury to him or Bryant.. then I’m starting to panic a little bit however o-line was much better in the second half of the Ottawa game last week.

so maybe Rose is somewhat knicked....and hence his odd play so far.....he was just fine last yr when he came back, and doubt he has dropped off the performance ledge at 28 yrs old....not concerned in the least

Something is sure off, but like you said, No way he dropped off that much at that age. He'll be fine. I think its a matter of trying to do to much.

In MOS speak that means his legs are still attached to his body.

Houston gave up a couple of plays his first game - in his most meaningful time in terms of defensive snaps played - but they were the kind of plays where he was right there and just missed the play on perfect passes.

Nothing like the blown coverages we've seen these first two games.
