JohnnyAbonny Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 This board is putting a lot of pressure on Holm. He has the athletic pedigree of a Dan Clark sure, but does he have the poise? bigg jay, wbbfan, Wilbur and 9 others 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCJenks Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Man this board needs some real game action to talk about instead of all the other non-sense that has been taking up space this week. I can't imagine what our first bye week will be like if yesterday was an example of what we turn to on a closed practice day... wbbfan, ddanger, Bigblue204 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) I'm not ready to anoint Holm as the next Nichols, but I'm not ready to write him off based on his play last year either. Kid was a rookie and got torched like a rookie. If he worked his arse off all offseason and came into camp way more prepared and it's showing now then great. However, I will leave room for the possibility that he's a practice all star. This could go either way still. At any rate, the praise his high for him and hopefully he can reach his full potential on game day.

Went back to the pr came back last year and was drastically better. Usually dbs translate fast to the cfl. But not always. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Like that Haba gets on to rotate...Rather see Cole get a shot at Will....sit Clements and go with Thomas.....that or go Canadian there....interesting no back-up DB really either..so if someone gets hurt...or routinely torched...whats the plan?...and who is the nationlized Canadian on each side of ball....

It looks like Grant will be able to come in for Woli if we so choose. Kramdi the back-up DB (or Darby and Kram becomes SAM). No nationalized Canadian on D because we only start Jake? Might limit our options. Like we thought, no roster shenanigans like some other teams are doing. Just the expected depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 I think you have to declare one tho on each side...and declaring one allows us to sit out Jake for 23 snaps in place of say...a Caleb Thomas if he ws dressed...Or allows us to have Haba and the Jeffs all together None the less...Typical Oshea to not utilize the heck out of this 1 minute ago, Mike said: Off to a great start.

Booch Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 no reason we couldnt have replaced Mauro for Karamoka....dude could play db...Likely Will as well in a pinch....prob offer just as much off edge as a rusher like Mauro does at times..... 1 minute ago, wbbfan said: Getting torched they leave him probably.

Karamoko is much more useful on D. With 4 DEs dressed we sure don’t need mauro on D. Yeeep. It’s frustrating watching the coaching staff make life harder for the team with game day rosters.
