Keep Zach clean tomorrow. But between Cole Darby, and McCrae, we can't keep on some of Parker, Daramy-Swaray, and/or a piece on DL? I love what Jackson brings. I’d be fine with rostering him, as would most any one on here, if we gave him reps at DL to see if he can be a rotational piece there. If he can he’d be a tremendous value as a di. And tbh, I can’t see how a guy like that can move bodies at will and win one on one battles in short yardage but couldn’t do the same in eating a block. bb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we used him on the dline...or even just tried him out a few snaps then I'd be somewhat ok with it...but still not ideal...

Yea....give him some work rotationally to earn his spot. He is a SY guy and very good at it. If he can spell off our DL starters for a few snaps a game it would be good rostering as he can be an emergency OL as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doublezero Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Can it be they plan to run a lot of schemes with the FB lined up for additional blocking help - ie spying Betts? Lions certainly exposed our O-line as old and slow in the first game. Bombers certainly miss Janarion Grant for field position on returns. Here's hoping we see the good Winston Rose.

blue85gold Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 It's a shame Parker isn't on the roster. He's looked great whenever he's played this year. 7 minutes ago, Mike said: To be fair, Burtenshaw is mostly just a ST guy and has rarely played any FB. Ya he's not really of any use on offense. The plan must be to have Jackson really involved in blocking. DL depth is thin. Would kill to have a couple useful CDN rotational guys right now.

BomberBall Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 As others have said, I can’t understand our roster management…. It’s crazy frustrating, but at least we have Wilson back.

3rdand1.5 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 My 2 cents...Jackson sucks to use a DA spot on him......but.....he is a really good blocker and let's be honest last time we played them we needed better blocking. One would assume the reason he is on again is that the coaches feel he adds enough in his blocking ability to offset the thin depth it creates elsewhere.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Augustine should have utility as a blocking back. If he doesn’t I have no idea why we roster him with McCrae on and don’t put a better player on for D and special teams. Bennett isn’t really a player so we continue to go with 5 DL and Maruo really as the 3rd rush end.

17to85 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I think the biggest thing is that Bennet is just so useless it's like we don't have anyone dressed behind the Jeff's and rotation is so key.

Yep. In us HS they have used an under sized nose. This has trickled up a lot to college and even some nfl teams. Instead of the nose being a huge mountain that dominates one or two guys through physicality, you use a faster guy who can turn the centre and shoot the gap with the centres butt closing the other A gap. I think Jackson could be that guy and It’s atleast worth a try. We throw biggie into that centre but he isn’t the guy to turn him around and blow the play up any more. Jeffcoat and Willy do this a bit when we run cheetah. 11 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Augustine should have utility as a blocking back.
