Lions at Bombers early talk

[rebusrankin]

Don't like Jonathan Jones being scratched. Should have been Kyrie. Don't like only one American DT. Kornelson feels like Win A Day as a Bomber (yuck).

[Jpan85]

With all the cap room, I guess they are going to use the one game as an extension of the practice roster.

Well pick the correct Jones at least...

Osh gotta get over this incumbent bias.

[Booch]

SO...we have 2 DE's....have Bailey and Person who both showed they can play yet dress Ayers as the rotational DE?....Ok...tell me the sense there?

Our best LB in J, Jones doesn't even make roster in lieu of 2 guys who are average at best,,,and one injury prone...he's legit if an when healthy and can stay healthy...but that a big if

Schmeckle cant even make this yrs lineup over a guy who showed absolutely nothing...and he's still here then why?

3 Canadian DT's only 1 of which who is usefull...and 1 legit American DT...Thomas as a "starter" ....nuff said....gonna be same ol same ol again this yr

Definitely not the depth chart I was expecting (tho probably should have been)... For some reason thought we'd see more new faces. 

Yeah probably should have expected this. Going into the first game they want some consistency.

[Atomic]

I think Schmekel is actually injured, I'm not sure Kornwallis has passed him on the depth chart

People talking about having cooley as the emergency back up imp wr/package guy being crazy, meanwhile our only back up WR is Corcoran. Guy has great hands, but runs like an OL, and is a rookie canadian lol. 

Some how Thomas back over Lawson, go figure.  

Pretty funny. Im sure ayers isn't actually gonna take reps at DE right? We didn't use him there at all in camp pre season or previously. I kind of would've liked to see that though. He's soo dynamic, quick and strong he could actually be deadly at end. If he was given time, practice and training. 

Hate that the good jones is out, hate more that kyrie is in. But not surprised. I just don't get the move to bring him in. 

2 imp DBs is a spicy pick. Don't love that. Glad Vaval is returning and playing, though. 

Single injury away from doing some crazy stuff at most positions. Basically all of them but DB. 

 

It is a bit worse than I expected. And stranger than I would've thought.

Thats like having a drag race with 2 shopping carts that combine for 3 wheels. I suspect you're right too. 

 I wonder if Lawsons late recovery is why he's behind Thomas now. Giving him time to get his wind back. 

[rebusrankin]

See with Lawson coming off injury, I get Thomas starting and the two rotating.

[Bigblue204]

ugh...depth chart is looking rough on O. The WR depth is horrible. Potential for Strev to have switch and take reps there bad. lol.

line listing Ayers as DE. Hallet back up S though Griffin in on there.

[Noeller]

As many of us have said, it's not that it's a terrible roster, it's just that it isn't nearly as good as it could be. 

[BigBlueFanatic]

Hoping the game day execution is more than the sum of this bullsh1t depth chart.

Schoen coming off injury and nobody listed as a "starter" over him....was hurt later in previous season too....This just Osh doing his usual....He like Thomas...thinks he's good....and he gonna play him....plain and simple

You get the wind with game reps....not practice....and realy...Thomas looks winded after every snap...some snaps he has to usa a hand to hold his head up...basically eliminating any hand use to beat a blocker

J.Jones out...is just wrong on many levels...I'd ask for my release as he would be snapped up and in any teams game day lineup in an instance....and if they intend to use Ayers at end...then why not dress a true end?....and are we not allowed 2 globals...Why was Bailey omitted

we have 7 guys listed that are essentially DB's....10 guys at linebacker if you include Ayers as thats what he is...and there was no way...or desire to dress Woods...Person's on the dline but the need was there to dress Thomas and Kornelson...a rookie who showed nothing in 2 camps? smh

That 45th roster spot can be either global or Canadian. So it's Kornelson or Novak over Bailey/Weitz.

yeah I was just counting up....so again....just a poor choice....that and or the Canadian bias Osh has....Bailey woud serve more usefulness and impact than either of those guys

yeah, Hopefully if lawson gets enough leash to stretch him self back out. Maybe it's just gonna be a paper thing like that. Dare to dream any way.

Having soo many of the DIs at redundant positions is wild. Kind of what I was expecting just to a greater extent though. Hopefully the rosters improve going forward. 

Idk how you keep Jjones off the AR. Especially when you dress soo many lbers.

and both Novack and Kornelson...both of whom likely get zero reps of significance....especially Korn as Novack at least plays teams and is solid there...Bailey excluded for Korn makes zero sense...Bailey can take legit reps on defense...and plays teams

I can get that maybe they like Novak for his teams contribution. Korny as the 3rd ni dt over bailey is a bad call.

Embarrassing

its a typical Osh call....and not surprising...and he leaped Schmeck...who isnt listed on any injury list...or was on any injury report....if he not worthy yo stay ahead of Korndog...why he still here?

[rebusrankin]

Bailey over Kornelson makes a lot of sense. MOS not so much. So 9 linebackers, are we using a ton of 3-4? 

A rookie Canadian WR as the only back up is also a head scratcher. 

I wish we had media that actually asked MOS questions.

yup....right beside the dental room

Just like Canada has one tank (ie. if Trump isn’t careful we’ll send our tank to the border 😉), battleship, submarine etc. 👍🏻

[BomberBall.]

It’s not like it wasn’t expected, but that depth chart is so deflating.  We always hope for no injuries, obviously, but with this lineup, we really need to stay healthy because we are crazy thin in some key spots.  Ugh.

[Super Duper Negatron]

All that potential shown in camp and preseason and we trot out last years team. Still no killers on defence.

If you're not getting better, you're getting worse.

If a single receiver goes down we are absolutely ******, but at least we dressed 17 Canadian linebackers.

Edited Wednesday at 04:14 PM by Super Duper Negatron

[BBlink]

Is there something about our schemes where we value a glut of DTs over having rotations at DE? Do we think we can just pull LBs down to the end position if need be?

[Atomic]

Amidst all the consternation I am glad to see we are finally starting Devin Adams
