Ok, here's what I got: The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires, are forcing the Bomber coaching staff to not roster Dillon Mitchell in a fiendish plot to sabotage the Blue Bombers offense. 

Maybe MOS needs some revitalizing tonic for the WR corps

The Cobb choice, given we didn’t use him as the second KR .. is also incredibly curious

I don’t know why some people keep denying it - there’s a clear lack of logic behind a fair share of our roster management choices. It’s not as if it’s only just started - this **** has been going on for years.

It’s been going on the entire time Osh has been here. Stacking one position group and not using 2-3 guys every game while leaving other positions wanting.

Yeah...guy with return experience..and we put Cooley with none back there with vaval...why didnt we just keep using MCI? 

Our rostering.  And then use of that roster...worst in league.. and yes...been ongoing

Great speed too. You've been going on about Person, and you were right.

Bit of backstory...I work with other trainers/coaches and recruiters prepping guys for combines...free agent tryouts and OTA's and also guys who can't or no longer eligible for NCAA to land in some JUCO programs...anyways was aware of Person...and knew he was a guy on a lot of NFL radars...so when we signed him I touched base with people in my orbit and asked how the hell this happened...I mentioned it before here but a few teams wanted him to be a pass rush specialist but to bulk up...and he didnt want to add the weight and just be situational...so explored his options...I believe we neg listed him and up he came...he really shouldn't be up here but our gain...hope he stays here but if he keeps playing like he is and getting better I can see him getting looks next yr

Yeah you were singing his praises back in September but also had concerns about him getting an opportunity to get in the lineup.  Correct on both counts!

Speed, and tremendous upper body power. Reminds me a lot of Gavin walls.

I'm hesitant to really sing DL praises until we play an OL that isn't a steaming diaper of a mess.... I think TOs OL might be the only one worse than ours right now...

The hilarious part is all the roster hawks a 6 weeks ago with "put Cooley on, have him play receiver, return kicks and punts, he's such a stud."  They do it...and...?

Turns out tossing guys into the fire to do something they've never done at any level when they are rookie pros isn't a great move.  Especially when the role involves securing the football.

The "just ******* put this guy here, and this guy there" stuff is mega stupid.

Kind of like elevating a guy to OC and expecting ongoing positive results without encountering any bumps in the road.

And any rookie receiver who comes up...especially slot i...and any HB is playing a position they basically never have either...and it's a non issue

Cooley on to be used as a back....and in 2 back sets....or a motion guy makes total sense...any skill position guy coming into the league could...and should be able to do it...or taught it, and if they can't...then why the hell they even on the roster, and what are our positional coaches and co-ords doing?

Punt returning is a knack and yes not anyone can just do it and Cooley wasnt out there for punts,,,thank god...Kick-offs tho are fairly straight forward and easy...so either they nevcer had him practice it...which is likely as we never practiced all week, so the smart coaching would have just left MCI back there who has not been an issue...or put proven Cobb back there...just another case of our brain numb coaching that is hurting us more than helping a lot of times and we win in spite of it

Having Cooley on, and not using him at all on offence was pointless and a waste...Allen on would have made more sense seeing as we got an injury to Parker, and he also showed he can play safety if Kramdi was failing there....also....elephant in room Mitchell...proven KR guy....and receiver....who needs to be given his shot, or we cut bait....just poor coaching and roister management every which way it's looked at
