September 26, 20231 yr comment_664396 Kuony Deng is a player I’ve been excited about since I heard he was on their negotiation list. You can do a lot of things with a guy like that, he’s got good edge rushing ability but he’s also an unbelievable tackler in open space … I think his numbers his best year at Cal were like 110 tackles in 13 games or something.
September 26, 20231 yr comment_664401 I missed those signings yesterday. This is quite exciting. I had Deng’s highlights on repeat for a while when they published the neg list games. On paper (I know) this guy should be a big time player.
September 26, 20231 yr comment_664404 Yeah Deng is a classic CFL pressure and tackling machine, as he has the build and athleticism to really find the plays on a bigger field...I actually like the fact he is here now, and we could possibly see a debut vs B.C....Something tells me our roster coming into the last 4 games is gonna see some Hansen/Haba/Deng added to it

September 26, 20231 yr comment_664406 if we re-visit history, and when we went from good to dominant in a playoff run...the lil roster tweaks and under radar additions happened right around now....so we shall see
September 26, 20231 yr comment_664408 I don't think we're going to see the changes you guys want until Mike Miller comes back (at this point...do we even see him this year??) and takes Jackson's FB spot, flipping the ratio, and allowing us to get more IMP's on to the roster. Only way we get more Haba (or whoever) is with Jeffcoat out, unfortunately.

Sheed could even fill that role even just as well....been doing similar stuff and obliterating DE's and edge rushers for 3 yrs here now

I just don't think Osh will make the change you guys are hoping for. I think if Miller was 100%, they'd get him in for Jackson, and then would free up some other changes. But stranger things have happened... we'll see what the roster looks like this week. If Schoen is out, that might change some things as well.... or we just get Agudosi in....... who knows.
September 26, 20231 yr comment_664411 If we need a fullback use one of the 7 OL we have on the roster. Otherwise a DE can chase kicks as well (probably better) than Jackson anyway.

We drafted a fullback (Burtenshaw) who actually played that position in University....so why we don't use him is sad to say the least, as we bastardize the defensive depth for a hrdon Oshea has for a player with minimal skill at any position he has lined up for...and obviously he is no demon on teams as he has what...maybe 1 tackle??
September 26, 20231 yr comment_664415 Yeah gray is the guy inahd in mind. He's athletic enough he could run a route if they want the misdirection and he can block better than Jackson. Really Jackson... what would you say you DO here?

And Hansen is a full participant so perhaps we see him this week in a limited role.

Hansen alone would be a nice addition to rotate wit the Jeff's, and if we roster another legit end to go with that.....I like the look of that down the stretch Gimme a Hansen and another end...with a sprinkling of Grant and a dash of Ford, and I would feel good going into play-offs
September 26, 20231 yr comment_664433 Habba for Jackson Burtenshaw in at fullback Hansen for Mauro. Fox for Cole.

Fox for Cole. thats how I would roll with things with what we currently have on roster/PR I would even try the new guy in over Fox to see what he brings, as we often line Jeffcoat and Willie inside with one of Walker or Lawson so we could get away with an extra speed guy

He goes lean on the DL until the final third of the season and then ramps up the numbers down the stretch.

And the team has won more when he was inserted into the line-up than the local favourites Parker and Haba. Which is really the most important thing for the coaching staff, whose job security is measured in wins and losses. Just sayin’. 😊

Depth charts from the past 4 years suggest that he changes up his roster composition down the stretch. Likes to get bigger bodies onto the roster.

Guy might wear a lot of hats, but he is easily replaced at any of those positions.

I could come off my couch and offer just as much sadly...lol....I still long snap as I train younger players how to, as it's a lot of times the ticket they need down south for looks.
