I agree with you on secondary depth, but 7 DL is not that thin.

 

If Jeffcoat goes out we probably lose.  If Jeffcoat went out and we had a Haba or Garbutt in, better chance to win.  Hansen is a nice rotational filler guy but isn't getting a ton of pressure back off injury.

Fox and Habba in for Jackson and clements. Hallett in for Bennett. And if an imp wr misses use that to get an imp db on. Use the naturalized Canadian on jeffcoat. 
 Could even have Castillo punt and put Karamoko on. 

And not sure why Kelly was removed as well....one of our better st guys....but agree on all the above

yup..If either of our ends goes out....we in deep....that means tons of Bennett....or we use Walker out of position and burn him out, and have lots of Thomas out there....good god....The Jackson thing hasn't totally bit us in the arse too badly this yr, sure hope this isnt the game it takes a big chomp

Yea....I think we could probably park someone else and dress Haba or Garbutt. Just saying that 7 DL is not a lack of depth. Our choices of who those 7 are leaves some to be desired.

Well if thats his motive....as opposed to putting best team on the field...Thats a coach I dont want

He's on the roster soley due to Osh has a penchant for favorites....for whatever reason....and has since day 1...

30 mins before u have to make a decision....or used to be

 

I have seen none as well...and trust me...been watching...Fox had more impact in his game last week than The Seal has had all yr...Fox would prob clear a bigger hole than Jackson as well as the FB for tHat mater....

 

It is when 2 are Bennett and Thomas

Agreed that who we are dressing is far more problematic than how many we are dressing.

You’re right that 7 dl isn’t thin in it self. The quality is thin though. 2 imp des 1 imp dt. It’s thin on imps and thin on quality. 
agree, if fox and Habba were on it’d be a very different situation. 
gmc is a good X factor package guy to have, if you are gonna use him. He’s not great as a wr but atleast brings a speed threat we lack.  Very slim chance that wr depth is what hurts us. Sucks though that we squandered guys at the worst time and of course that 3 big guys got hurt all at once. 

a better deeper roster allows your top guys to be more rested and play more effective snaps. Especially the front 6. That was key to our 19/21 teams. 
Atleast we have Hansen. 

I agree with everyone's assessment that although we are dressing 7 DL, it may not be the best 7 DL usage.

3 of the four loses this year Jeffcoat was out for.

wanna comment....but also dont.....Injuries aside..thats a bad lineup...Rose out for Houston...Vet leadership and experience...is just dumb....Also again.....the Jackson thing...pointless, and especially with a injury saddled team right now serves zero purpose...none whatsoever

Ambles should have been rostered regardless of Mcrae's injury...Offers way more as a receiver...has been in big games....is actually a receiver and if Bailey and Demski are a lil knicked but playing...takes some hits away from them with rotation. Mcrae scares nobody as a straight up receiver....My fear now is ZC will try and force feed Lawler all game if Bailey cant go, and Demski is limited...or vice versa, as Lawler and Woli will be blanketed, and Mcrae aint gonna put up a 10 cath 160 yard plus game.....Faith in BOLO if ZC doesn't have blinders on, but thats a big concern if he is saddled with a weak receiving group

There really is no need to take run plays away from BO for a token 3...4 at most times in the game...let BO pound the snot out of them so they wont even wanna tackle...like has happened in other games.

And the starting of 9 Canadians?...why if you can't or wont take advantage of freely being able to rotate a guy in like Fox...in place of you know who, Same with use of Cole....and even Clements

Especially seeing how Vaj used his legs last game, and likely will again as conditions for him to pass won't be all dome cozy.

 

Hopefully our top teir guys can ball out and over come everything but I not liking this roster one bit

More reliable than a Swiss train conductor. 

Here is the big question after the roster came out - barring injury, has Winston Rose played his last game as a Bomber?

Rose not starting is… interesting to say the least. Houston gets picks but is he a better corner than Rose?

Rose has been exposed in the last few games. Playing way off, has been in chase mode on more than a few passes, and has been straight-armed by receivers a few times when trying to tackle. Not sure Houston is the answer with his gambling style, because he leaves us open to the big play against, but Rose being out is not the worst decision, even if surprising, IMO

Woods a DE normally?

American Josh Woods will bump over from weakside to middle linebacker, where he racked up a career-high 11 tackles last week, while 2021 Most Outstanding Canadian winner Bo Lokombo will bump into the starting lineup. Rookie Ryder Varga is also expected to see plenty of packages, with Global linebacker Maxime Rouyer returning from an oblique injury to pick up the slack on special teams.
