Great job team. Sending this to MOS now so he knows what to do.

I believe I have managed it well

 

That's what id do...and if we only need 1 Canadian at anytime on defence Thomas wouldn't see the field...really roster...hes not needed...keep Cobb on for him

I’m sure it’ll be Woods coming in for Jones but yeah 

So be it.  If Ayres has some supernatural special teams abilities in their eyes, leave him on.  But in terms of D absolutely no need to have both Jones', Wilson and Ayres to play about 80 snaps a game between them.  Meanwhile on O we basically have no receivers dressed and a random 5'7 235 pound option tailback trying to catch kicks on special teams.

Hope not...but u know osh

J.Jones on field alot was one reasons T.Jones actually looked better and there weren't guys free wheeling through the middle. Griffin and J.Jones helped in that regard in a big way..J.Jones needs to stay on...we are basically just wasting Ayers as a DA so may as well take him off

J.Jones also made some key blocks on the Vaval return work

Too well lol 

They've repeatedly talked about Mitchell's ability to return kicks, so if he's indeed going on, then I'd bet Cooley's almost certainly coming off. 

JJones seemed to play a fair bit on D, so hopefully he's still in the plan.

Didn't notice Ayers on D at all, seems like a waste to have an american LB just covering kicks.

I agree he should be coming off but the second KR back is really just the lead blocker.

Until the other team starts kicking the ball at him because he can't catch it.

Haha they tried on that Vaval TD but Cooley rightfully go the **** out of the way that time.

Normally, this week I bet we see them kick away from Vaval the whole game though. So he'd have a decent chance to field some balls.

Speaking of returners....where the heck is Logan...you know the guy we signed to be the guy....Mitchell,Logan.....I have a hard time getting my head around those 2 signings ...In any event we can hope that Vaval and his last game heroics aren't a one off....IF he gets a chance to field anything kicked his way...I have to agree, the stumps will most likely be kicking to the side he isn't on

Logan was hurt in TC and it was apparently quite bad because he's been on the shelf until about two weeks ago. He's been getting further along, tho... Seen running in civvies a couple weeks ago and was in full gear this week, according to the beat guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Couple of years ago during his first season. You could make a "Case" that this Mitchell guy doesn't look that bad 😁

I noticed the waggle seemed to be troubling him on that play

yuuuup.

 

Maybe our system is just too complicated for him. You know, like situationally. We might be on the opponent's side of the field, late in the 4th, with the best back in the league and the ability to kill time and kick a fg to go up by 2 scores. But for us, that's when you go deep. Not as intuitive as most offensive systems. 

Idk what to expect if he does play, but it would just be hillarious if he had the best game of the year for a bomber wr. 

On their fantasy discussion segment on OB, they play some clips as the intro to the segment. One of them is a call where Mitchell beats Winston Rose deep for a TD.

Majority of them out of slot...some inside handoff/sweep plays....kinda stuff we do....imagine

Just was a bunch of B.S Osh yip yappin to justify his fav's playing first (Case) and then the bone head dumb move of Corcoran starting and Cooley on for no particular reason

Damn travesty that this guy hasnt at least gotten a look......

I don't see any blocking or intangibles in that highlight video.
