Hopefully we can keep this O-line intact for several Grey Cups to come....

No idea what to do at receiver, although I agree Nelson has been passed by Grant. I think Nelson and Walker have both been passed, Adams, Lawler and Bailey should be the core Import receivers with Lucky taking occasional reps. and helping out on k.o. returns.

September 9, 20195 yr comment_425060 Right now we have Gray..Desjarlais..Speller..Couture and Eli as nationals...save for Eli all have started games and are all young...Couture and Speller are 25..Gray 24 and Eli 23...could be set for years on the interior...Even Neufeld is only 30...not old for an olineman by any means
September 9, 20195 yr comment_425063 meanwhile teams like the one to the left are praying for busted down old Labatte to come back and save them.

September 9, 20195 yr comment_425087 Tough to tell while in the stands, but when rewatching on tv, I saw Eli’s number show up repeatedly. I wonder how often he was subbed in? On another note, I noticed that Bailey was on the line for one of the goal-line pushes. Interesting spot for a receiver.

September 9, 20195 yr comment_425103 2 hours ago, Booch said: Jeffcoat and Alexander when healthy are a lock to be back in the starting defense. A starting D-line of Jefferson, Nevis, Richardson and Jeffcoat with Roh, Kongbo and Jake rotating in will be just dominating Rios as the extra DB will make us very strong there as well, though how we use the DI's will be interesting when we have Lucky healthy, and you can't take Grant out, and even with all Lucky brings I think Bailey brings more as a pure receiver even though when thrown to, Lucky has pretty much caught everything save for may a drop or 2...though I can't recall cringing about any drops. Possibly we roll with Grant and Bailey as a DI with Medlock and Roh and go with Jones, Exume, Hallet and Wright as extra DB's...we have done that quite a few games so it's not unthinkable The thought though of after break getting back Harris..Jeffcoat..Alexander..Speller...hopefully Neufeld eventually Nichols and game time to get up to speed is a pretty comforting thought..especially now seeing as our depth guys and back-ups have got a lot of valuable playing time, so if an injury occurs late in year, or in play-offs guys are gonna be able to slot right in with basically next to no drop off...and lots of familiarity with the other starters I wonder if the emergence of Hansen changes any Dline roster decisions. For the playoffs I would definitely dress Roh, Jefferson and Jeffcoat but down the stretch run they may rest guys and not use a DI on a DE for a game or two. The team has rested starting DLinemen in the past. Edited September 9, 20195 yr by WinnipegGordo
September 9, 20195 yr comment_425104 Hansen won't effect any dline decisions I wouldn't think..he doesn't hurt us out there by any means...but you don't mess with success...and I would say we have the best dline in the league
September 9, 20195 yr comment_425105 Hansen is a nice story but let's not fool anyone, he is way below the other guys we have.

Congrats on the win, nice to go into a bye week on a positive note. For us, need a win in Montreal I guess I'd be upset with your OC if I were you. Powell is a beast and needs 20 to 30 touches a game. Asking Cody to throw 40 times a game is ridiculous.
September 9, 20195 yr comment_425118 Decisions, decisions, must be nice to be O'Shea right now. Jeffcoat and Alexander are locks and you can't take Grant out of the lineup, if anything you have to start expanding his role, getting Grant and Lucky at WR would give coaches fits.
September 9, 20195 yr comment_425120 One can talk about more carries for Powell.....but with Richardson and Nevis totally blowing up the Rider interior OL....it was just not on.

September 9, 20195 yr comment_425124 Nelson is a more rosterable player (good receiver and returner) at this point than either Whitehead or Grant. But Grant does the return thing really well and I wouldn't be taking him out now.
