On the CJOB Coach's show, O'Shea said Neufeld has a chance of being on this week's roster, and Stoudermire is very close to returning, but will only be getting cleared to practice this week so could be a couple weeks away still.

So when Neufeld is healthy again.  What do we do with him?

Good question. Greaves has been struggling. He could also replace Goossen as the 6th OL, or possibly even Chungh. The interior OL has been a problem last couple games.

What are the chances of Gooseneck evr becoming a full time starter?

is that you Nate?

After Picard retires in January they are good ... don't we have one of the best OL coaches in the business?

What makes you think Picard is planning retiring in January?

Greaves has definitely been struggling. He looks really stiff, like he could be playing with an injury.... Wouldn't mind seeing Neufeld there and let Greaves sit for a while because for whatever reason..... he's just not getting it done.

LG is where I'd put him.

I wouldnt mind

... sitting Greaves

... moving Chungh to the left guard (I think that is where he belongs)

... starting Goossen on the right guard

... make Neufeld as the utility OL.

That's a lot of moves for a team that is coming off a win.

Greaves looks to be the weak link but I wouldn't touch the O line right now.  They need some time to play together to get better as a unit.  Neufeld might be a better choice than Goosen as the utility guy because he's played tackle before, but that's as far as I'd go right now.

The one thing all good OLs do is constantly swap players in and out....cause that'll help the communication and consistency.

It is, but it was the offence that failed to score..... so without the the Defence and ST coming up with a touchdown each, we would be sitting here bitching about a loss.

 

it could address the issues on offence.. But, i dunno if it was the oline's fault for our lack of red zone production.

I'd much rather the utility guy be someone who can snap the ball when none of our other OL have that experience.

@DarrinBauming: Troy Stoudermire back in helmet & pads for the first time since breaking his right hand in camp June 6. Working at halfback today. #Bombers

But what happens if a tackle gets hurt in game... I don't think Goossen, Greaves, or Chungh have ever player tackle...

Swing on of those guys over and give them some help with a blocking back or tight end

Per Knuckles, Turner is injured. Could Nate Collins be activated for this Saturday game?

Turner and Adams (Darvin) injured apparently. I doubt Collins is activated seeing as tho he's still on the 6 game, Not sure tho, would he be able to practice if he was on the 6 game even? Did they silently remove him and stoudemire from the 6 game? I think stoudemire getting in this week is a lot more likely than Collins, I'd imagine if Turner can't go and it is just day 1, maybe Harlan gets more reps as does thomas. Can they even pull Collins and Stoudemire off the 6 game?

I could be wrong but i think you can pull as many people as you want off of the 6-game. But there's a limit to how many you can do before having to pay their salary for the time they're off?

Gordon and Collins could play? I like it.

Or maybe you see Veltung get more reps at receiver... Stoudemire and Veltung returning kicks would be a nice combo back there for sure. Think Veltung has shown he is a pretty good player and probably worthy of some reps as a receiver. Adams has been pretty much MIA for 3 weeks now.

You think they would activate Gordon? I think Veltung might make more sense if Adams can't play this week.

To be fair Adams has been open. Just not getting the ball. I don't understand why. In fact on one play last week he was wide open down the middle of the field. We got a first down anyway, so it did't hurt us too bad, but he was scoring if he got the ball there. I think Willy said after the game too, that he needs to get Adams more involved.

I don't know why Veltung would make more sense to some folks, Veltung was hardly a consideration at receiver throughout camp and likely wouldn't even be on the roster if not for the fact Stoudermire AND Carlos Anderson both got hurt - meanwhile, Gordon ran with the 1s and 2s almost all camp.

 

Maybe Veltung is a better game performer than practice performer, that definitely does happen with guys now and then, but Gordon still looked impressive and if he and Willy can get some chemistry, he could be dangerous.
