Tomorrow's news... Willie Jefferson suspended for 2 games because of failed drug test. Then it's the end of the world.

Hard to say...but it is going to have to be a total 3 phase team effort..but we have capable RB's in house to pick up the slack..no Harris by any means..but a big unknown..could be lethal..could be a dud

Agree on it being low scoring for sure

Also..should we/I attack you as a troll...toss out rude comments...etc..etc..like over on your site?..seems like he thing to do..no?..whats your username there...or should we determine through IP adress

Feel free to do as you wish, 

I set up this account thinking I'd post a couple things and then vanish into the green mist, so used a different handle, since at the time there was a fair bit of vitriol being passed between the bases however , I've learned that the two sites are actually not that different 

The vast majority of posters are knowledgeable CFL fans who happen to cheer harder for one team  , and I have a lot to learn from their history and experience,  and I enjoy their posts,  and have kept doing some limited posting

Both sites have some residents that post on the extreme , and some posters who see the world only in binary form and seem to carry a lot of anger and bitterness in their soul- 

But yes- if I , as a Rider fan , come to a Bomber site and talk s##t,  I should be called out

I give props to those who use one handle on both sites 

And to make it official, I post as VoR on riderfans, and if your Mod can change my name to that, I'd be good with it

Not ideal...but a healthy and fresh RB coming into the second half of the season is pretty ideal. He's going to get basically 4 weeks off. He will have fresh legs and a big old chip on his shoulder come mid September! 

Turning a negative into a HUGE positive. Well done.

 

 

I really really would love to see a Nichols-less Harris-less Bombers beat the Riders in LDC. 

That would be an epic way to silence all the critics.

Click your name in the top right, then Account Settings. You can then change your display name.

Augustine can take some carries.  We'll see if he's figured out pass protection and how to run a few routes.

I think Demski needs to step up big time and will take some time in the backfield too.

Santiago likely comes on for a DI DB/LB and Dondre Wright comes on for Rush to provide depth on D.

So you don’t want to give him a shot because he’s Canadian

Lotds good options.

At this point... put in McGuire as starting QB, then run a wishbone offense with Santiago at FB, Streveler and Demski as RBs lol. Seriously why even bother passing.

If they can swing the ratio adjustment it would be great to see both.

I don't think it's wise to suggest Streveler throw the ball more, this is exactly what the Rider D will be looking for.  If the Bombers can win the turnover battle, good chance they win the game.

Started 8 Canadians last game, don't think there's much ratio issue. That's the beauty of this team, lots of Canadian depth. Hell worst case you put the American rb in and have peterman replace an American receiver.

Don't even have to do that.

 Youre jumping to negative conclusions because of a bias you have for him. He is far better then any one thought he would be coming out, and deserves to be a game day player in this league. He may yet be a starter or better. But its a high risk low reward situation with him right now for us. 

I do not want to give him for several reasons. The biggest reason is we have no other canadian RB to back him up. If he got hurt ejected etc we would be 100% screwed. While hes shown some good signs in garbage time and pre season, demski has showed far more in far more meaning full minutes, Santiago looked better against the same level of action, and starting him allows us to rotate a lot of guys through for various looks. 

So no, I dont want to start him because he isnt in the top 3 or 4 rbs on the roster and it would heavily gimp our ratio. Start Santiago, rotate Grant, demski, and whitehead through running plays and 2 back sets. Pick the best 2 and split reps with them with a 3rd rotating through.

started 8 Canadians last game, have the depth and flexibility to replace him with an American if need be without too much issue.

You would still have to maintain 8 NIs if he went down. The step down from an IMP wr to petermann is huge. We dont need an extra DI soo bad. You start 7, with the imp rb and rotate through freely.

No the point is that if you start 8 Canadians and one of them goes down you can safely replace him with an American.I mean this team has plenty of places they can use a Canadian in game should the need arise. 

Bottom line I don't really care which of Augustine or Santiago they start, whichever one they decide is the better player. I'm just saying you can start Augustine without it being an issue not having a Canadian backup to him.

No.  Basically you have one import on O or D who isn't a starter or a DI.  He can sub in for anyone.  So say Augustine "starts" and Santiago is on the roster but not a DI.  Santiago can sub for Augustine or anyone else with no restriction, import or NI.  Essentially teams declare their QB's and DI's.

Augustine doesn't look like no slouch to me.  He runs very hard.   

It would be an ideal game for Streveler to show that he can also throw the ball.    Heck even 50/50 balls deep to Matthews we should win most of those battles.

You could say that again. Well if football doesn't pan out he could always fall back on fighting Supervillains or tearing phonebooks in half. Dear lord. If I looked like him I wouldn't own any shirts.

So basically you take Greg Jones off the roster as a DI, start Augustine to maintain the 8 starting NIs for roster versatility but rotate Augustine and Santiago freely. D. Wright replaces Rush to give you options on D. Demski in a more featured role.
