  • They better ******* not sit one of Poop or Nevis again. After seeing how both of them being on the roster befuddled the BC offense how do you not keep on keeping on with that?

  • That's a split of games that I feel like we should've had two wins from. We killed ourselves with penalties and turnovers in both games. Our D has played well (other than killing us by extending drive

It's more about the ST than the LB rotation, but I still think you're right. It should be Knox sitting. I think with Wild only playing limited reps right now, it might be a factor... 

ya Id assume with Oshea's mentality, he wants the most depth and solid tacklers possible to cover the chance Wild isn't 100% and to maintain excellent coverage on the Teams..

 

which means that its possible one of our DT's are riding pine.. which suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks but at least we get to see what Givens brings with Lankford taking a seat.  Wonder if Givens or Fogg will be doing the KR.

I get the rotations and the teams aspects but to me, one of the DT provides more than Knox rotating in a little (which might be none) and playing teams.

I want to think you're right, but reports out of practice this week suggested they had some crazy LB rotations going on where basically everyone and their dog was getting reps at all 3 positions... I'm curious exactly what Hall/MOS have planned...

Gob-smacking Stats.... For Matt Nichols...

 Recent Winnipeg QB Starters: Matt Nichols has started the last 28 games and the last non-Nichols QB starter was Drew Willy on Jul 21/16 vs Calgary. Here is a recap of the impact Nichols has made comparing all Winnipeg QB starters across 2012-2017:

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2012-17:

QB Starters 

Matt Nichols games started 35 won-loss 23-12 .657%  9,477 yards 54 tds, 24 int 

All 9 Other QBs   started ...70. won-loss 20-50 .287%  14,398 yards 51 TDs 61 int 

Notable:

  - Nichols has more wins (23) and TD passes (54) in 35 starts than the other 9 QBs have in 70 starts (20W, 51 TDs) - Nichols pass efficiency of 97.4 far exceeds the other QBs combined at 82.5

- Since 2015, the Bombers winning pct. when Nichols starts is .657 and trails only Bo Levi Mitchell in that time

?‍?Damn fine stats...

That is impressive, provided you omit the fact that the "other 9 QBs" are the likes of:

Justin Goltz
Alex Brink
Max Hall
Drew Willy
Brian Brohm
Robert Marve
Joey Elliott
Buck Pierce (Towards end of career - didn't have many starts 2012-2015)
Dominque Davis (only 1 start)

I love me some Matt Nichols, and there's no doubt he's been a game-changer... but that is an ugly, ugly compilation of QBs to compare to.

Nightmarish group of QB talent for sure.   I am still kind of surprised that Marve and Elliott fell so flat on their faces.  we haven't had any legit QB talent here in soo bloody long.

If Wild isn't ready to be even the backup then he shouldn't be on the roster, if he's going on the roster though Knox should be the guy coming off because having the ability to rotate Nevis and Johnson at DT makes far more difference than rotating linebackers will. 

I like O'Shea a lot, but playing silly buggers with the defensive tackles is a mistake.

ya I would really love to know his rationale for not having both on the field regularly..

In fairness Marve was playing with  ACL damage that should have kept him off the field permanently, I don't know what they were thinking when they signed him.
