Griffin has shown he is a baller in this secondary. I dont recall seeing much of him lately. Im not sure why J.Jones was signed not to start.

Griffin takes a lot of snaps... it's a testament to his abilities that you don't notice him much.... DBs, OL... when you don't notice them, that usually means they're playing great

Even since last yr Griffin should have been the actual starter in possibly 2 positions...if not 3.....but he gets relegated to rotation behind the teacher's pets/choices....

Griffin might be the best player in the secondary

Griffin is mostly playing 4th LB opposite Kramdi in a lot of snaps, so it's not good if he becomes invisible.

Kramdi is already basically in a secondary position... cfl teams are mostly 2 linebackers these days and a bunch of dbs.

 

 

One thing I think we can all be sure of is it's not because he is unwilling.

If there is one person I think of when overcoming adversity, it would be Chad Kelly. He is tenacious and does not take no for an answer.

 

 

Why do I have the feeling that despite being incredibly beat up along the offensive line Toronto will still manhandle our front 7.

Assembled media asking all the tough questions.  Ugh.  95% of it is talking about Castillo and Medlock.  The really important stuff you need to hear after getting absolutely crushed in back to back weeks.

I hopefor a win....always do...expecting a loss tho in this....and prob 1...if not 2stupid roster moves, when we have the opportunity to actually add some guys who could give us a spark/lift....maybe Osh will wow us with his roster....not!!

I just thought of a conspiracy theory. 

Maybe Kelly is using his own personal trainer in Buffalo because no one with the Argos want to work with him.

Bryant is officially ruled out.

I noticed that despite practicing in full all week, Mitchell and J.Jones are listed as out. No changes coming as we suspected. Both should ask to be released.

If I was Jones id not agree to be "hurt" so we would have to either roster him...ask him to join PR (which i sure he'd say no thanks to)...or just release him...cause I sure he wants to play but also not be a distraction talking bout it here.

He'd be picked up in a heartbeat and in some teams lineup immediately....

Griffin is a db, so is Kramdi. No team plays a 4-3 or a 3-4 any more. 4-2 4-1 or 3-2 3-1 is it now. 
Sam and cover wil packages aren’t lber positions or roles. They don’t line up inside the box any more or take interior gap run fits.

Yup, the last couple of games have gone well, so no need to change anything.  No one here is surprised, but just once I’d like our media to ask why there will be no changes.  Do you think the roster makeup and game plans were solid the last 2 games?  If yes…. So execution was the issue?  Then expand on that.  I know we likely won’t get straight answers, but at least pose the questions and apply a little pressure.

Nichols is hands down the best guy on our D. Is Griffin 2nd best? Yep bout it. Don’t recommend thinking about who comes next. It gets real depressing real fast.

So....the Bombers will have a Ball?

 

 

Griffin was getting owned just like everyone else the last 2 games. Seems people don’t understand there’s a ratio in the cfl either. Cuz how the **** does he start. Everyone loves the other teams cast offs. Griffin. Cobb. Mitchell who is apparently dumb as rocks.

Scheme was more part of that...Griffin has been solid as can be for 2 yrs...u gonna use 1 game where whole defence looked like garbage and call a guy being owned?

There is a ratio?? Wow....news flash...good thing you post here as nobody would be privy to that insider tidbit...phew

He could start for Bridges...Kramdi...Parker..and shift Parker....very easily...so no issue there

And now you make a claim a guy is dumb as rocks? Based on? 

Maybe our coaching staff is too...from lot what we seen of late that's not a stretch

I know but I think he should be a starter

Hi. From what I was seeing, he was overcompensating for others not being in position. I believe he could be inserted for Bridges, since Bridges was having considerable difficulty against Calgary receivers in both games. The other spot I am not convinced about is Parker at Safety. He started the season great, but not so much against Calgary. I am used to Alexander and his major league hits I guess. Perhaps this has more to do with our front 7 than I believe?
