Don't see the official roster sent to the league, but on that one they clearly indicate they aren't designating any one in that role. The teams and league all see the official roster, so they would only be fooling the fans, which doesn't make much sense. Mostly I agree with that. I think MCI + clercius starting is about as good as having woli in. I love woli, but Clercius has been as good as woli as a pass catcher. Not having the back up canadian wr hurts especially if we see an injury. If not, I don't think its a big loss. Imo, having wilson run the short yardage and not using the very poorly designed/executed strev package is a mild upgrade as well. We don't need 5 yards on 3rd and inches. If dolegala doesn't see the field and wilson doesn't throw we haven't lost any thing. Certainly a net positive. Unfortunately it still leaves us the most susceptible in the worst area. If you see habba, WJ, and thomas all on the field (either alone or plus 1) and edmonton runs, they are gonna get real good yardage. If we had Garbutt, adams, Woods, +/- Hubert on the field at the same time, Edmonton wouldn't stand a chance. Considering how little we would've had to give up just to get Hubert back on the roster, its disappointing. Like noah hallett. Weitz as the global is kinda meh too. karamoko gives us more on teams imo, but who knows maybe weitz can grow into some thing.

Also worth noting that we are with out a back up ni wr. So if clercius or demski goes down we have to fundamentally change all our packages. Of course this could also have been insured against if we just used lucky as a NA, then he'd be able to go in for them for half the snaps in the game.

https://www.instagram.com/tghcares/reel/C69RXWYIgGC/ Haven't seen any thing since this, which is probably good news. His go fund me succeeded in raising the money they were hoping for, plus a little more. -
We don’t rotate the ol. That will only happen if one gets hurt. I don’t like our chances giving zach deep ball time, unless we run heavy sets to do it. Even then, he’d have to be rolling at some point. 3 seconds into any pass play kola is facing the wrong way or face down on the ground. We are pretty evenly matched on the year in terms of sacks allowed and elk sacks generated. Both right in the middle. But we haven’t seen consistency much of the year in our ol line up. We’ve also got the fewest big plays on offence and edm is tied with us for fewest big plays surrendered. It’s very likely the whole game comes down to who runs the ball better.
-
Di for the 7th ol, vs just 6 dl including a couple none factors is disappointing. Adam’s off and only 6dl vs the elk is a huge risk. The door is open for them to bully ball us to death. Kyrie back and starting is interesting, I wonder where he’s at physically. He always seems to take a few weeks to get going. Bryant back is great, I’m sure he’s good to go. Idk about lucky. I feel like he’s playing too banged up guess we will see. glad wheatfall is finally back in

That guy has a ton of great clips and compilations. Or the sharpie incident with malveaux? Or the bc 4 td game? Haha that’s guys probably needed ear plugs to survive. -
Agree. I wanna see him on the field on O some too.

With the restrictive front office cap, and the fact you can 6game/ public appearance pay guys out side of the player cap it would actually be extremely advantageous to have a guy like biggie as a “player” coach. -
I should’ve clarified it’d involve the same flip to ni lber rotating we normally use with biggie/kyrie. case is certainly a better option than holm or banged up lucky. Idk if Augustine can catch punts. extra size in the gaps is going to be key to beating Edmonton for sure. not in particular a fan of case and his sideline to sideline style, but if lucky is banged up it only makes sense to Stick in case who also gives much needed depth at wr. Wheatfall for Johnson and case for lucky makes a lot of sense. I would consider starting case and having him return to flip another di to D especially if wheatfall is rusty. Also worth mentioning is that Murphy certainly has to draw onto the roster though. Since woli is down and clercius starts, unless mci is ready for a high volume of reps if a ni wr goes down. Which having him block is be good with. I don’t think he’s ready for offensive production though.
-
Agree with all that. Cole might go on for Ayer’s, di 7th ol could come off, Adam’s for bridges, case/lucky, kyrie for biggie.
-
Jake especially on the nose sure makes it hard on lbers. In a 3tech with woods or Adam’s on the 1 would go a long way to helping. 3 years 3 games lol. And now we have no useful globals. Rip.
-
It’s a big difference between carrying a 7th ni ol and burning a di for the 7th ol too
-
We don’t have any beefy lbers, and kyrie is the only guy who can get off a block or scrape to the run. All the rest get washed out easily.
-
If kyrie is ready use him as a naturalized imp would be huge too. This roster could vary wildly
-
Yeah pretty much. Also reallly rough to go from 6 games to 18 in general. Especially for a dl.
-
Bet it’a case unfortunately.
-
That would be a much better use of roster space for sure. Mci, clercius, and schmek give us more than enough extra blocking. But probably won’t happen.
-
I wonder if Wilson is actually close. He’s always been real shaky coming back from injuries. leaves us with out a kr. Case or smith is likely to come back on if lucky can’t go. I don’t think they are comfortable with the guys we have as more than in game subs. I’d like to see hart get a look but idk if he will be ready that fast. He dropped off pretty good, seemed like he hit a rookie wall. But he’s still our most sound end in terms of run stopping and contain. As well as getting off blocks. Which is sad.
-
Going to be tough for them to settle the roster. Ayers and jones are important teams pieces, but Cole is a beast on teams and versatile as a package guy, kyrie would be a big improvement in run stopping if he’s ready. But we can’t carry all those guys. Really need Adam’s back on, Hubert would be good this week too.

He said it’s not the end of 4, but he has to be stopped from coming back. He is about to turn 36 and hasn’t been 100% for a year and a half to two years. He never should’ve played hurt down the stretch last year. Hes dropped off soo bad since early last year it’s scary. Dude needs to prioritize health and quality of life now. I’d be stoked to have him coach lbers. Stanley can be shuffled to another spot. We need a reshuffle on some ast coaches bad any way. -

You should have the bombers update their page. like I said, atleast with Walter’s picks you can see the upside and logic. Vs picks like pencer oooh he big. -

That’s right too, mid season trade. Ssk kept trying to use him at tackle back in the day hah. We were soo desperate for Canadian talent and took chances on all the high upside guys. Some worked out, a bunch did not lol. yeah if they tracked it I bet he would’ve set records for least completions against in multiple years. Yeah Nevis was 17, he was the biggest get for a long time though. Not a lot of others teams were onto how good guys like Randle really were. Nevis when next to stove was insane. The dl was soo deep then. -

Kyle Walter’s cries a little every time some one watches those clips. Yep. Walter’s was also a very well regarded football mind at the time. He’s a been snapped up very quickly if we let him go. It’s funny we were low key a hotbed for front office talent in an era we mostly struggled, and let the good blooming Canadian guys go for tired old yanks. Wasn’t the guy I wanted but I atleast understood the logic behind that pick. High character role dt with a strong pedigree in the us. him n randle were the big ones right away. Then drake nevis too. Randle was mainly a chance to be a full time guy instead of a dime, the other two got big paydays. -
The XFL style kick off (Possible rule change in the future)
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
They were pretty close to making the change for seemingly little reason. I don’t think it’s an injury risk, but I do think you can make the kick off return better, which is always big for the cfl.
