June 24, 201411 yr Ok - So we have 4 DI's this year which will be a game changer IMHO. How do we think that O'Shea will use these? I suspect that Korey Banks will be one of them, also a D-line such as Zach Anderson, Running Back/Returner - Ford or Woods?
June 24, 201411 yr Banks is out week one. Guessing our DI's will be Unamba, Wild, Anderson, and Woods.
June 24, 201411 yr Author Sorry - I meant when Banks returns to the lineup - his initial designation to IR could be just posturing if another new younger faster DB shows well against Toronto.
June 24, 201411 yr I'm guessing if everyone was healthy, it might be Johnson, Anderson, Wild and Ford/Woods. This week, I think it will be Unamba, Wild, Anderson and Grigsby/Ford/Woods.
June 24, 201411 yr I doubt we dress 2 runningbacks. Woods is going to be our returner so dressing a second import runningback feels like a waste of a roster spot.
June 24, 201411 yr Sorry - I meant when Banks returns to the lineup - his initial designation to IR could be just posturing if another new younger faster DB shows well against Toronto. Oh I get it. Hard to say though, I believe where and when Banks plays will be determined by injuries in the secondary.
June 24, 201411 yr Banks is out week one. Guessing our DI's will be Unamba, Wild, Anderson, and Woods. This.
June 24, 201411 yr If Woods doesn't dress, who returns punts? If Will Ford ended up doing it I put the over/under on 2.5 punts before Mike O'Shea kills him for letting the ball hit the turf or bobbling the catch.

June 24, 201411 yr I'd be very surprised if Woods isn't used as some kind of weapon against Toronto. Deep Woods Offence.
June 24, 201411 yr Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 1m Mike O'Shea says centre Steve Morley and tailback Nic Grigsby will both start Thursday against the #Argos. #Bombers
June 24, 201411 yr Anderson Wild Unamba Woods ...*or Ford (if he is deemed ready) *Washington would return punts, and Ford would do kickoffs.

If Will Ford ended up doing it I put the over/under on 2.5 punts before Mike O'Shea kills him for letting the ball hit the turf or bobbling the catch. Washington. But I believe Woods will dress. Washington is an unreliable yet occasionally spectacular punt returner, I really don't see him being the guy for that job in O'Shea's eyes unless something changes in-game, like Woods being injured.

Not sure if you know this but...Washington has been fielding punts in practice. So,unless O'Shea suddenly doesn't like what he has seen from Washington in practice, I think it's safe to assume he will be used on punt returns during games.

How many other guys have been returning punts? IMO, Washington is the next guy up if Woods goes down in game. Not surprising that he'd be fielding punts in practice, but I don't think that will affect our DI's or Woods status on the team.

With Ford looking ready to backup Grigsby & return kicks I could see Woods sitting out this week, and O'Shea using 3 DI's on D. And with the possibility of Bryant joining the WBB, the BB may be using Washington as a PR more than you think.
June 24, 201411 yr I don't think Ford is even going to dress this week, I bet they will leave him on the 2-man reserve

They got woods into a lot of plays in preseason, I don't see any way they leave him off knowing how much our offensive coordinator likes to have players like that he can use in a variety of different ways. Ford isn't the same kind of player so I don't see him being there to backup the RB position ahead of Woods being on the roster. Now maybe they surprise us, but common sense seems to point to things going one way.
Ok - So we have 4 DI's this year which will be a game changer IMHO.
How do we think that O'Shea will use these?
