But between Cole Darby, and McCrae, we can't keep on some of Parker, Daramy-Swaray, and/or a piece on DL? I love what Jackson brings. I’d be fine with rostering him, as would most any one on here, if we gave him reps at DL to see if he can be a rotational piece there. If he can he’d be a tremendous value as a di. And tbh, I can’t see how a guy like that can move bodies at will and win one on one battles in short yardage but couldn’t do the same in eating a block.

IF we used him on the dline...or even just tried him out a few snaps then I'd be somewhat ok with it...but still not ideal...

Yea....give him some work rotationally to earn his spot. He is a SY guy and very good at it. If he can spell off our DL starters for a few snaps a game it would be good rostering as he can be an emergency OL as well.

Let more than one hit the turf. but we have a backup fullback who is one of our DA's...so we good...we started the8...9 dlineman trend a few yrs back....surely we faking teams out to follow suit and burn a DA spot on a pointless player...Kudos to you coach Osh...u sneaky s.o.b
August 2, 20231 yr comment_649433 Can it be they plan to run a lot of schemes with the FB lined up for additional blocking help - ie spying Betts? Lions certainly exposed our O-line as old and slow in the first game. Bombers certainly miss Janarion Grant for field position on returns. Here's hoping we see the good Winston Rose. Should be a real slobberknocker! Go Blue!

Go Blue! but we have one of our fullbacks from last yr on roster now tho...and thats not a scheme you scheme for, as you don't know where he is lining up, or if he is dropping out...so that would be pointless

August 2, 20231 yr comment_649437 It's a shame Parker isn't on the roster. He's looked great whenever he's played this year. 7 minutes ago, Mike said: To be fair, Burtenshaw is mostly just a ST guy and has rarely played any FB. Ya he's not really of any use on offense. The plan must be to have Jackson really involved in blocking. DL depth is thin. Would kill to have a couple useful CDN rotational guys right now.
August 2, 20231 yr comment_649438 As others have said, I can’t understand our roster management…. It’s crazy frustrating, but at least we have Wilson back. Looking forward to seeing him out there again.

Our defensive rotation usage at this point is beyond pathetic.

August 2, 20231 yr comment_649442 My 2 cents...Jackson sucks to use a DA spot on him......but.....he is a really good blocker and let's be honest last time we played them we needed better blocking. One would assume the reason he is on again is that the coaches feel he adds enough in his blocking ability to offset the thin depth it creates elsewhere.

August 2, 20231 yr Author comment_649444 Can't wait for Jackson to make a game-changing play on Special Teams lol
August 2, 20231 yr comment_649445 1 hour ago, Bombertown said: It sounded like burternshaw was pretty injured prior to this return so maybe he needs the most insurance behind him compared to the other guys. That’s my best thought He had a broken thumb but there was all sorts of pins and metal sticking out of it from the surgeries
August 2, 20231 yr comment_649446 Augustine should have utility as a blocking back. If he doesn’t I have no idea why we roster him with McCrae on and don’t put a better player on for D and special teams. Bennett isn’t really a player so we continue to go with 5 DL and Maruo really as the 3rd rush end.
August 2, 20231 yr comment_649448 From our last game against B.C., we’re also adding Houston, Lawson, and Lawler. None of whom were on the roster in the first game.

Not insignificant adds...also Rose. The guys are going bat**** crazy over roster management again but this is the strongest lineup we've had all year. Edited August 2, 20231 yr by GCn20

And benching Parker is hella confusing.
August 2, 20231 yr comment_649452 I think the biggest thing is that Bennet is just so useless it's like we don't have anyone dressed behind the Jeff's and rotation is so key. Like seriously he's the invisible man out there.

In us HS they have used an under sized nose. This has trickled up a lot to college and even some nfl teams. Instead of the nose being a huge mountain that dominates one or two guys through physicality, you use a faster guy who can turn the centre and shoot the gap with the centres butt closing the other A gap. I think Jackson could be that guy and It’s atleast worth a try. We throw biggie into that centre but he isn’t the guy to turn him around and blow the play up any more. Jeffcoat and Willy do this a bit when we run cheetah. 11 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Augustine should have utility as a blocking back.

Bennett should be on the pr till camp next year at this point.
