So are we better going with Vanterpool or by adding a third DE like Pearson or a DT like Woods?

I don’t think you can add another guy on D at expense of O.  We basically have 3 backups on O.

It’s more Vanterpool vs Cooley vs Mitchell for that spot.

If they wanted to change/add on DL they’d be sitting Ayres or changing up LB’s.

It’s kind of worked out for us so far, but I think it’s absolutely idiotic we’re about to have our second bye of the season before B.C even gets their first. How in the world does that make sense? Oh well, glad Oliveria is working his way back, I’m curious to see if they let him sit knowing we have the bye and he can come back fully healthy in two weeks time.

I’m not sure Cooley has shown enough to warrant a 3rd RB on the roster.

Brady is big enough to play MAC linebacker. Should we Chris Jones the lineup? /s

If BO is back then Person for COoley makes a ton of sense...Woods is still hurt i think

Bailey for Weitz too would make a lot of sense...I don't think 3 import oline is a dire need...we need to play Wallace and let him develop....and hes hardly looked outta place 

We also need to develop a speed/power end so this is the perfect opportunity

Woods is on the 6 game IR so he's not an option. Even if he comes off early it will take some time to get up to game speed and conditioning.

I have no negative feelings towards Adam Bighill playing for the Stamps . If he can still play then good for him. I think he should stay retired but that's just me. I wish Adam the best as he was a warrior for us.

Yiu don't really get up to game speed or condition in todays cfl via practice...u need live reps

Do you think the coaches think Vanterpool could slide into Stanley Bryant's LT spot if he retires after this season?

This bye system favours some teams & not others. The NFL plays a 17 game schedule with just one bye. I'd be in favour of getting rid of the third bye as it just exyends the season. Just go with two.

are we seeing a more mellow O'Shea this year?  Where did he get that hat - has he been listening to a lot of Jimmy Buffett lately? lol

For sure, but then you have guys complaining more about short weeks between games. 

There is no perfect schedule with 9 teams.

Unfortunately, there are no Canadian cities clamouring for a team. I was hoping Canadian patriotism & pride in our unique brand of football would get people back into the other 8 teams football stadium across the league but there's no Elbows Up crowds coming to the games. They'd rather travel to Seattle, Buffalo or Detroit to watch the NFL.

I just don’t understand the anti CFL dudes, guys love the NFL and that’s understandable but these same guys are watching NCAA on saturdays, where our players were all super stars or at the very least stars, the talent is great in the CFL, the reason these guys are misses have to do with either coming from smaller schools or they just don’t fit the height and weight criteria the NFL loves looking at. I’m a big NFL guy but I’d watch the Bombers over an NFL game any day of the week.

We are too banged up right now. To many guys playing hurt and depth is ravaged. We didn’t use Cooley as much as I’d a liked and he showed really well.  But if Brady is good to go, we need roster depth else where.

Just don't rush Brady back. Make sure he's 100% healthy.

Never a perfect schedule when a bunch of teams like Toronto are dead last in terms of scheduling importance at their own venue. 
 

we don’t need a perfect schedule.  We need a reasonably competent one though. Where top divisional rivals season series isn’t wrapped up 3 weeks into the season.

the gap in terms of excitement and entertainment value has closed dramatically in the past 10-15 years. While the talent level is plateaued, and coaching tapered off hard.

Yep. I’d be good with a 50/50 split of touches for Brady and Peterson in the first week or two as well. Ease Brady back into it. Getting banged up early in the year can be really tough to bounce back from.

We can beat Calgary without BO. I like the idea of splitting reps or even just making BO the backup. Bring Vanterpool back on and let Peterson roll.

I could go either way on vanterpool. Be nice to have him back, but I think we could use that roster flexibility else where too.
