Excited to see this game with Zach back, Rourke's start is up in the air, season series on the line....I like our chances.

 

Anyone know further details on Rourke?

Everyone knows you can't win without being a better interview!!!

Yeah, I wish we had a quotable coach like Mike Kelly.  Mark my words, no one will ever name a podcast after a Mike O'Shea quote.

And it's stupid they don't...what point he trying to prove is a mystery 

And he yip yaps about everyone here as they give us a chance to win...yet continues to play the walking wounded...so obviously he is lying or full of **** but back it up if u gonna say it

Yup...as it's was a poor version of what we could have rostered 

Arbuckler took what was there..played within himself and their game plan was tailored for him to basically succeed if he was smart about it and patient..and he was

Is it really too hard to use with in the rules? Or are we that high and mighty? 
 Serious question, if we turned back the clock to the beginning of the DI rule, would we ignore that rule? 
 It feels like arrogance. Like we will win with who ever we run out, and that Canadians are as good as Americans and depth guys are as good as stars. 
 Drives me crazy.

I cringe when i watch these pressers, sometimes i wonder how the HELL he won this many games. 

I can’t watch him in pre game or post game etc. And that’s fine, that and coaches show generally are tailored to a different type of fan than me. Just like the Tait interview video they did with zach etc. those fans need and deserve stuff too. Thought I felt the Zach one was particularly unhinged. 
 

 I watch some of these and it’s basically our only insight into injuries and I’m not on instatwittertok etc.

no sarcasm, I think the better the football coach the worst the interview/post game type stuff.

Probably a smart decision from B.C, rib injury can be one of those long term lingering injuries, it’s a long season, no point risking further injury. 

It’s a long ass season, he had a bad year last year. If it was me, I’d park his ass till he’s 100%. You can ruin a qb playing them while struggling and injured. 

Osh just plays everything close to the vest and I'm here for it. I guarantee you, in the right company, and a few beers deep, this man is HILARIOUS....

 Nope, probably won’t be any until the roster is set. 
 I suspect it’s just temporary until the new one game ir is set. 
Big Kev is banged up, hopefully he’s ok we are super thin at ni wr.

Yeah...its not hard to navigate it...every other team does 

Its Osh trying to make his point as he was one of the only people against the rule..didnt want it....doesn't like it...so doesn't use it to prove his disdain..and not to the betterment of his team...he needs to park his bias

Pretty sure big Kev is good to go...Maybe punter guy is gonna sit in lieu of Bailey...if it's for the Weitz...then again...stupid stupid roster move again...prob another coach's favorite play..we have enough LB's and that particular one offers nothing...and can't take defensive reps...hope this not the case

Yeah, I don’t want us to cheat but damn it’s like an al team not using the dh because of ethics reasons. 
 

hope so, we need him and its a great opportunity right now for him. 
 

 Bailey would be great, plus Sergio doing both jobs. But I might die or surprise if it actually happened. 

Weitz would not make any sense at all, so he's likely a lock.

If Clercius can't go I assume they start Corcoran and Cobb comes on as the back up, which is a little scary.

Assume Cooley comes on since Brady and Logan are out. Should be Ayers off in that case but I could see a WTF.

Leroux on for Benson.

I'd like to see Cooley for Ayers and Bailey for Brady.

Just dump Sterns...he won't be missed..but Cooley could be a weapon

So you'd have a receiving group of Schoen, Demski, Wheatfall, Corcoran and Cooley?

He didn't practice the last two days and is listed as questionable (hip).

Simplest is Wallace in for Vanterpool who goes to the 1 game for a paid rest.

I'd rather not mess with an oline that played so well. Rather keep my oline intact and lose a back up defensive player who mainly plays teams.

Least amount of changes possible is what we'll see... If we hadn't seen Cooley practicing this week with the 1s, I'm not sure if have guessed he'd be in this week. Osh would just trot out the exact same team that ended last week's game. It'll have to be Wallace for Vanterpool, I guess, but he won't want to. Definitely won't be Ayers cause the ly value the ST so much...

Also heard Wallace taking reps at LG earlier in the week, thus the prediction he'll start.  

I'm mixed on who I'd rather face.   Surely Rourke at some point has to play one good game against us?   On the same note Masoli has always torched us with big games.  

I'd lean towards Masoli if I was certain that we could generate a pass rush... it always feels like against Masoli we give him all the time in the world and he gets many steamboats to look downfield and toss 30  - 40 yard bombs against us.   

I think anyone scared of Masoli is overthinking 

Fluky / lucky deep shots can happen no matter who is behind centre.

Don't forget the immortal words of FDR, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself and back up QBs."

He's averaged nearly 340 yards per game against us before and after his various injuries.         Also this is a team that crumpled against Arbuckle in the most important game of the year.... so I'd say their is more then enough reason to be unsure.   

Can't post pics from my phone but it looks like Wallace for Vanterpool is the only major change... Cooley comes on to back up at RB.
