That's so 1980s and for what the role entails....any able bodied guy who likes to be physical can do it...that's the rub...It's not like Jackson brings anything special or above and beyond anyone else....It's just Osh likes his story and is all gaga over him....nothing more...nothing less...Burtenshaw played full back all of his college career....certainly he can fill the role as well or better....especially with Canadian Football experience Edited September 2, 2023 by Booch Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Yes I just am trying to think of FBs I recognize name wise in both leagues and honestly none come to mind. I thought the position went pretty much the way of the dodo so to dress 2 seems ridiculous Last game I made a joke saying I think osh would play a make a wish kid if it was his wish. I wasn't serious but part of me thinks he would now. Hamstringing the roster cuz the guys like to see him out there for 3 plays a game Edited September 2, 2023 by Goalie Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so 1980s Actually for the first time in a decade plus last year the nfl saw a significant increase in the use and rostering of FBs. But they actually use them in regular offensive sets not as specialist subs for goal line only. parker in is great news. Hopefully we actually use him.

Booch Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 we lie to say how clueless Dicklesson is in Regina...and rightfully so, but at least he has the sense to have 8 rotational lineman...pretty much like most teams do, and uses the Nationalized American on both sides of the ball....Leaps and bounds ahead of what we do in that regard Good thing their oline is crap...QB's are blehh....secondary is suspect and their receiving corp really scars nobody....no reason we should lose this game....and a win by less than 10 would be shocking...and in a not good way rebusrankin, Piggy 1 and wbbfan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an 8 man DL rotation and they utilize the Nationalized American rule - but everything else sucks. Thanks for clarifying.

Have Parker start at Sam and return. That’s means gmc can come off for haba next week. Take Jackson off for fox. swap maruo for Hansen. Bennett off for an ni like miller when healthy, till then maybe Murphy, or gauthier back in. Or maybe we get really lucky and ford comes back and he is the extra ni. Then on dl we rotate Jackson Willy Habba hansen fox walker Thomas and Lawson. Good luck playing that front when some one fresh is hitting you every snap and we put out 4 guys who can pin their ears back and get to the qb. Our dl gets much better and deeper, our secondary does too, our depth across the board goes up and we don’t lose much of value. An imp fb for an ni, lose a gimmick touch guy we seldom use when we can put those touches in the hands of Demski Bailey etc. Booch and rebusrankin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a pic with Buck taken back when he was the starting QB. Ran into him at his restaurant (I think it's closed now) and though I hated to bug him I went over and asked for a pic with my nephew and he immediately said yes and we went into the front entrance area and took some pics with him. Years later same thing happened where I ran into Andrew Harris at the St. Vital Earls, and he also agreed immediately to a picture with me. CFL'ers are the best!
