We know its going to be Wilson and T.Jones at linebacker.

Now does Toronto try to poach J.Jones with their mlb hurt?

How?  Trade for him?

[Booch]

Hate for him to ask for his release....Play me or set me free....

You don't really need to spy him if you're not bringing pressure. Send 3, make him find the open rec downfield. 

I tend to agree with this.  I wouldn't pressure much and effectively you'd have a spy with guys like Kramdi, Griffin and whoever else is on the field at LB.  If Ford has to hit windows he has no chance.  Let him run around in circles behind the line all day, just be patient.

Jefferson basically always plays that way where he's reading the QB more than firing off to get to a spot in the backfield and hopefully he can be convinced to play with leverage to contain.  When his head is in he can do that quite well.

That's the most frustrating thing... they know these guys are good players... but won't do anything to get them into the game.

Can't they have him on the 1 game IR.

You can, but he has to agree to go on the IR. If hes not injured you cant make him go on the IR. Which is where he is, but he has to be updated roster wise this week.

yup....He may say no to that...as he knows he can play and then it's up to Osh as to what and who in "his opinion" is the better asset..now...and moving forward....and we all know how that will go

As soon as T.Jones was signed to a 2 yr deal it was basically cemented that he was then strting MLB this yr regardless of what transpired in camp...That's his way of doing things and how we got ourselves into the depth issues and the near non-existent back-up plan or guys capable or trusted to step in when needed...and this yr....nothings changed

I believe Younger dropped 9 a lot last year, going to be difficult scrambling all game for Ford.

That would be a smart move for the Argos and a major loss for the Bombers, but I do not see O'Shea moving to protect J. Jones.

Jon Jones is getting full pay to sit on the 1 game IR since June 11th, extended June 20th.   He's not the only one, it appears they intend to abuse the hell out of it this season with that extra cash they did not spend.

I'd love for some of these guys to get on the roster but I don't hate the plan. We're going to have some injuries and these guys will play.

Play the better guys first and use the other guys as the ir insurance stash?

Easy formula, yea?

Play the better guys and use the rest for depth.

Though I’m sensing when reading certain posts here on MBB that populating this formula with names (i.e., starters, back-ups, pr depth) can sometimes conjure up pretty competing viewpoints with a few eye roll emoticons sprinkled in for good measure.

I know I know brilliant observation.

It’s true, but not all players are willing to do that especially long term. 
 

id love to see one of the pr/ir guys get in this week. If we keep to a one a week pace we will be in good shape in no time roster wise.  
 

I feel like if wj is gonna be suspended, it’ll be quick. The longer the week goes with out it the better chance of a fine imo.

I think any moves hinge on Brady's status, he's the keystone.  Don't believe Willie did anything worthy of a suspension.

I'd like to see if swapping out Sterns for Mitchell adds anything to the passing game.
