July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714427 We could actually start five American OL without changing the ratio. Demski, Woli, Oliveira, Clercius, Ford, Kramdi, and Thomas would still be our starting 7 Canadians and Stanley Bryant, Willie Jefferson, Bighill, or BA could all count as the 8th (nationalized American). Not that we even have 5 American OL in house... Just saying it's possible.

No need to start 5 American Olinemen. Wallace and Eli should be given chances first. Wallace is the future at RG and should replace Neufeld this season. 1 hour ago, Booch said: we could go Bryant...Eli at center...some stud import guard...the best of Wallace/Dobson at other....Keep Lofton and if we start Woli/Demski/BO as well then we only need Ford as a "starter", and a guy on every down rotating at either SAM...or on Dline...Heck even give Kramdi some safety reps...or morph him into a safety....easily doable We dont have to be running out sets with 2 National dlineman...and Kramdi...and Ford.....and sometimes 3 national Dlineman....That whole way we been doing things is pointless....dumb....and sacrifices talent and an aggressive defense for......man I dont even know what for other than an Osh preference Kramdi is fine at SAM. He proved you wrong last game.

It could only help Wallace in his growth and give Neufeld some rest so "if" by some chance we make the play offs he will be more healthy to play.Â

Kramdi is fine at SAM. He proved you wrong last game. One great game doesn't make a career or justify the use...he has had more sub par and poor games than great ones...now if that was the norm...sure...but it isn't...and I bet we dont see another game like that again but will see many of what we have seen up to that point Â

Nope. As a 7th starting Canadian fine. Problem is we have about 3 or 4 7th starting Canadians.

There a reason we are sitting at 2-5...and lucky to be at that record to be honest.... Edited July 30, 2024Jul 30 by Booch
July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714441 But you need 7 Canadian starters and we don’t have anyone better than kramdi who can take a spot. He’s not our worst Canadian starter that’s for sure. You can’t just replace Canadian starters with Americans. The ratio is a thing. You know who gets burned more than kramdi? Ford Thomas neufeld kolo Edited July 30, 2024Jul 30 by Goalie
July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714443 Let's put it this way... I'd use less Canadians on the Dl and Ol before I took Kramdi out.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714444 Let's face it. We're wasting our time worrying about the defensive starters at this point. We need to fix the offence and fast.Â

We need to fix the offence and fast. That does a disservice. We can talk about both. The defense is playing pretty good but it could be better if they shore up the middle of the D. Would take some pressure off the offense if they get better.Â

July 30, 2024Jul 30 comment_714448 Any news from practice today? Any changes on O line, receivers? Ahhh....one can only hope.

July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author comment_714450 Rather than "lucky to be 2-6" I actually think we could just as easily be 6-2 with a few breaks going our way. We were good/deep enough to win those games in the past, and now we're just good enough to lose this year...
