Never miss an opportunity to add more LBs

the need to start 9 Canadians not even counting the one American who is technically the 8th is just mind boggling...So essentially 10 Canadian starters when we are hard pressed to start 7 legit canadian as starters

And as what expected...we beat Lowly Ottawa so no changes required...we on the path...almost getting comical

That Trinity.... Oh boy....

What I don't get...we lost a DB type player who we felt the need to have rostered....so instead of say letting Stuart play who has the most upside of any of our Canadian DB's we add a LB to make it 10 on roster...Discounting the qb's and Kickers is 1/4 our roster

So If we add Novack who they claim is this ST demon...why leave Hazen on as a DA who will never see the field save for some ST reps...Why not add a much needed receiver...Or a cover DB so we don't need to see Hallett on the field now...as we know he will be again as it was Ball last game, whether it was him or Kelly when he wasnt starting was just plain stupid anyway

Give Jaworski or Jenkins some reps to keep dline fresh...Especially with the Faj likely running all over the place tiring out lineman and Rankin who is due to bust loose again....and we are worst in league versus the run so there a damn good chance...just simple things like that to make the game roster better, and has nothing to do with Walters, thats on the HC...we can be better with what we have but just keep shooting ourselves in the dickk...it just seems no thought is put into anything

Christ rostering Vpool in lieu of Hazen would offer more value..but nope....

No kidding. I thought they'd add Stuart as a player that might be able to take on the roll Ball filled. I also thought adding Texada instead of Hazen might be useful helping coverage issues.

Essentially any other choice would have made more sense than leaving Hazen on the AR. I don't expect him to take one defensive snap.

yeah...like what's the thought process in how osh constructs his roster...or is there even one????

In regards to Stuart he has the best upside of any Cdn DB type we have...and best athleticism as well as some sorely needed physicality....Cant develop that on the PR

No GTD designation for Brady at least?

When was the last time that guy had a full practice? Week 8?

Yeah but Novak has seniority so hands are tied

the fact that we have 2 American LBs for essentially only ST... is mind-boggling... keep Ball on for Hazen and dress a receiver... hell, dress Stuart for teams and add another O skill player... that seems fairly obvious to me and I don't know ****!

EDIT: I see Ball is on the 6-game... so bring on Stuart and my theory still applies...

Is it possible you're answering your own question?

I’m pretty sure they’re doing this just to mess with us lol

Of last year 😄

O'Shea is trying to relive his career through his herd of linebackers. He likely feels that his career as a linebacker was cut too short and now is projecting that onto his linebackers. Ego, rigid thinking and nostalgia are a sad combination.

I mean, maybe... but I think most would agree we could use a little help on offense.. and don't need so many linebackers

It's not so much LBs as STs...

Stuart was just fine oon teams...and could serve a role on the defence in some sets...Novack can't...and shouldnt

Back up teams guy for novak too. He does have solid potential in that role but hes soo burried its rediculous to carry him.

The only change too. Boy coaches better have their best game of the year.

Has anybody explained to our brain trust that ST's actually aren't 1/3 of the game. If the average game has 60-70 snaps on offense, 60-70 snaps on defense and 20-25 on teams, its not actually 1/3 and your limiting other parts of your tean.

As a team, whoever is doing the recruiting, has got to be able to find some receivers who can contribute on teams then.

And Miller needs to be coaching them up.

I personally love that we're dressing another linebacker. What if and hear me out...the starter gets hurt, the backup get hurt, the backup to the backup gets hurt. He proceeds to get hurt. Then low and behold the backup, to the backup backup will be on the field.

I think it's a win win.

Next year Teams will go from 20% of the game to much less as well.

You're some lowly Bomber staffer that MOS is forcing to post this, aren't you?

I thought O’Shea and I were the only ones losing sleep over rostering a meagre 8 linebackers again, and then you go ahead and tell the whole forum how roster building works in the real world. The solidarity is the stuff of dreams!
