Why not try to add a spark instead of same old same old. Hope he gets a chance one of these games. Likely needs a little time to learn the playbook since he would be the back up receiver too. He got some reps at receiver in the NFL, at 5'8 that is impressive.
September 26, 2024Sep 26 comment_726045 I'd love to see an extra American DB on the depth list, and wish we'd use the Nationalized American rule, but otherwise that's a strong roster, most complete in a long time.

Griffin would go to that spot, then Cole would fill the coverage wil role. He was doing it early in the season. After that Kelly goes in and we slide guys around, or Ayer’s goes in and we slide Cole, who played Sam and S in camp and pre season. After than nick goes in at S. all in all that’s probably the most db depth in the league. ol injury is the concern, unless it’s at C. 57 minutes ago, Goalie said: Actually like the idea of hart getting luckys spot.

And that’s saying some thing. I wonder if griffin will be the heir apparent for ba eventually. We’ve got soo much versatility in the back field and depth it’s nutty.

Yup. Could really use a tackle box defender with size like Thomas or one of the cuts. But a lot of the heavy lifting for next years camp will be retention. I’d really like to see the ends get looks and sit haba. Thomas/kyrie/biggie subtraction should hopefully be academic.
September 26, 2024Sep 26 comment_726057 yup....augmenting a bit for next yr it would like like now..as opposed to the whole sale changes I think if we keep one of those 3 it could be Wilson in the role Ayers had if we dont unearth a new gem...Limited abuse and reps may keep him out of the tub....brings the vet role to the LB's and you know if an in game injury he would be more than adequate We need to abolish the global punter next yr and if there is a big interior global in the draft....target those guys. Not sure where we will pick in the Canadian draft but I would focus heavy on the interior of both lines with our first several picks too

He can’t stay healthy and takes a bit to get back into form. Don’t mind bringing him back on a team deal he probably sits on 6game once or twice. Biggie could be a player coach if they are willing to limit his on field role. Yeah let friggin Castillo punt and find rotational/teams global. Don’t need teams guys with valuable picks any more. Think we can pick a mix of bpa and lines. I think a guy like Wallace could be groomed as a rt, or even another guy at that level in the draft.

September 26, 2024Sep 26 comment_726061 Going to be a much tougher game defensively because MBT can hit every route on the field and Edmonton is loaded up to run the ball too.

If you look at how often teams (not just the bombers) go through SAMs this is almost guaranteed to not happen. He's likely got 2 years at most left in that position, and that's assuming injuries don't occur AND being very generous imo. 53 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Going to be a much tougher game defensively because MBT can hit every route on the field and Edmonton is loaded up to run the ball too.

Can being the key word. I saw him miss every throw when the game mattered. In garbage time he has a few easy completions, but with MBT having no threat to run I feel like the D can concentrate on stopping the running and getting after MBT instead of having to worry about a running quarterback breaking contain.
September 26, 2024Sep 26 comment_726068 I had the Elks back to back penciled in as a split, so my head says a win is a bonus, but my heart says a loss and the season is over. 😜
September 26, 2024Sep 26 comment_726069 Not thrilled with the return game but Whitehead is the safe way to go...The D looks really solid and I hope we can stay healthy to keep this current roster intact.....Now IF we can get our offence rolling and put td's on the board, instead of having to bail and letting Castillo score most of the points, we could/should put this one away early...I'd like to see this Clercius kid get more looks from Zack......he brings the goods...Should be a good one and IF we can get MBT on his horse....I like our chances
