Yeah we do. We rotate as much as any one. But that is a TON of bodies. Idk how we could carry all those DL and maintain our core of 30 linebackers.

More like BLAME for those loses. We could a been 14+ wins and maybe hosted the west final! Thats it, you dont get to leave any more. Least not during the season.

Does raise an interesting question. Westy, jeffcoat and ogopogo. Who do you start if all are healthy? Clearly we need the NI so westy for sure. Can we carry corney, westy, jeffcoat, ogopogo, nevis, poop, and thomas? A rotation next year of all those guys healthy is un guardable.

Thats the truth. The last 1/3rd of the season he played like a man on fire.

1 Ogopogo. 3 sacks, 6 tackles, 1 forced fumble. The whole DL was off the charts start to finish. Jeffcoat and poop with a TON of pressure. 3 sacks combined. Nevis with a huge stop on messam on the first drive to really set the tone. Corney had a great stuff and effort to come from behind and make a stop. 2 Fogg. pick fumble recovery 3 JSK. 8 tackles, 1 pick, tackle for no gain twice. More great tacklin from a real beast. hh Brandon alexander with the pick 6 that got us the points to win and the early lead.

This is an interesting point to consider. The league is in a some what tough state as it is. The last thing we need is for it to get worse. Yarly. What fans pray tell do not want their team to win a championship? playing in 4 and winning 2 semi recently makes them want it more? Do you believe the yankees fans wanted another WS MORE then a team like the cubs when they won? It also doesnt really have to do with the statement. Perhaps jump to childish name calling next? Seems the counter point (if their was one really) has bottomed out short of that. The championships being spread around, especially to the franchise with the least wins is great. The less cleveland browns type teams in the league the better over all. Its just too bad that it had to accompany and be followed by being such poor winners. The yankees used to be the most hated team in baseball. The red sox fans after breaking the streak has changed that. The riders fans, and management seem to be doing their best to go from loveable (by none peggers) losers to the classless winner. The type of pedantic bad guy team that starts off every sports movie ever.

bruce johnson. great point as well. Thus far weve done a good job in finding new talent. Guys like JSK, poop, jeffcoat etc. That said under previous regimes we would have been all over a couple guys that would have helped us a great deal this year even if we got a fine next year. Thats our team though. The winnipeg blue boy scouts.

Its almost like jones doesnt even pretend to care about the sms. Like he just keeps spending and spending till the league will crack down on him. hmmm. We have been tight to the cap all year. Hense minimal off season splash moves. Including drastically reducing OUR qb cost by cutting glenn just before FA. Member? We picked up some teams guys mostly and depend on our rookie scouting. We didnt spend like drunken sailors. Hardrick was hurt the previous week. The same game bond was hurt. Both were day to day. Hardrick was not good to go, bond was. Sure it does. Fans league wide expect better of management groups from the teams. Which team has been infracted by the league for cap abuse in the last few years? And who has been spending like mad with no purging and has head and shoulders more players then any other team in the league?

Bodies out side of the 46 man roster; riders 41 bombers 19 lions 16 esks 34 (that front 7 has been ravaged all year.) stamps 29. cats 31 argos 31 Rbs 23 Als 20 The only team even close, edm, features a ton of guys from the first half of the season. week 3, 4 , 5 etc. As you would expect having started 2 rookie NI on defense, and not highly drafted guys in particular.

I do not think fans from every team point fingers at other teams. In fact the only team in the last few years I think most fans see shorting the system are the riders. Probably largely due to taxes. Americans are not used to the taxation rate up here. They hear 150k, pay taxes here and in the US take home half that and wish they took home 150k. That type of thing used to be extremely common. But with the demands of a modern day athlete its not nearly as popular. Now a days such a thing is like having a "dealership" job while playing at USC. At a dealership that happens to be owned by a USC booster. Idr the last impact player the bombers lost to cfl FA that we would have preferred to have back? More we cut guys the fan base wish we didnt. Even tony burnette who was well received and a great teams guy didnt show well as a starter. JSK has been drastically better on D and mini knox as good on teams. We have let go of guys and made room to get the pieces we have. Weve restructured contracts to make room. Montreal had a massive cut back just to get under the cap this year. TO cut lose a bunch of guys last year. Point is, they subtract in order to add. While we see the riders continue to add with out a purge (since dressler and smith) The drop from durant to glenn even if it saved 200k. Even if they saved 500k in qbing, the massive amount of bodies, + guys like carter, dennis, lefrance, and owens ate that up with ease. Add a full TC worth of bodies, guys like trent richardson, muamba, MoB, and guys back from the NFL and you dont even need to consider jones' sorted past to smell the stink of fkery.

As shown, the difference in your starter is at most 1 player. And possible far far less. Remember vince young? what he was paid while there still counts. Dont expect he came playing for free. Also as i showed, even if you have 1 stars worth of extra cap space created from cheaper then average QBing, you have an extra 22 players on your roster! A frequent and flagrant breaker of roster rules such as jones face a reverse onus. Until he shows for an extended period of time that he can conduct him self with in the rules of the league he is a cheater. Duron carter, dennis, chad owens. That is a metric ton of money. I would bet thats with in a min contract of nichols salary. We went into the off season not expecting to sign a vet qb to back up due to price. fevers market fell low enough for us to sign him. Is vernon adams and brandon bridge drastically cheaper then davis and fever? I very much doubt it.

Current roster shows 8 guys on the 1 game injured list. 17 guys on the 6 game, who only do not count against the cap for 6 games. A quick look shows guys put on late in the season. Added week 20, not gonna have 6 weeks to qualify eh? if they remain on the list for 6 games. 16 guys on the PR. (would getzlaf or thorpe sit on the PR for the pr base pay? I would think not. especially not thorpe) Thats 41 guys NOT on the active or inactive roster. Essentially a full TC size roster. The bombers who have suffered a massive rash of injuries the last few weeks have 2 guys on the 1 game, 2 guys on the 6 game and 15 on the PR. For 19 players off the main roster. Less then half what the riders have. Signing bonuses even for a guy on the 6 game still counts the year of signing as well.

Glenn with incentives is 300k. Base was 200ish k. How much did he pay the ni rb starter of the future in the off season? 150k? Chad owens? etc. Even if glenn missed his performance bonuses, and was say 175k, the other massive amounts of cash he threw around blew through that gap long long long ago. Do you believe trent richardson came up here after a heafty nfl rookie contract for peanuts?

Those last drives are all hurry up. Its not lapo orchestrating those. Matter of fact, by far the best of our offense is hurry up with plays called by nichols. All offensive actions are not because of the OC. insanely talented players making out of this world plays for instance. As well as the above mentioned. Also the highest field goal attempts, 2nd lowest 1st down average yards, mtl is the only team with less possessions. Thats the fun of statistics. When you look at it, our offense is mostly middle of the pack with a few drastic off middle outliers in both directions. What it all points to is explosion plays. We feast on game breaking long scores by big time talent like adams and dressler. When we dont get those, we tend to starve and kick a lot of field goals.

No kidding eh? Every one is game time decision till the last minute. Look at the huff about last weeks game roster. They listed him no 2 despite glenn coming in for him last season too. Both guys have some strong similarities. The big differences being fever is a more polished runner, and has more league experience. While davis has a heavy lack of experience, and a much better arm. I expect they will play to win, and if it gets ugly itll turn into an over glorified pre season game. Tbh if they arent willing to start him in this game Idk why they would bring him back after it. Never been a big fan of the guy, but you know what you have in fever might as well be sure what davis is and know if you have to cut your losses in the off season. Fever is a guy who can be given a limited play book, a few special plays and run the short yardage passes.

Moss is NOT a MOS guy. Wed instantly cut him. Or keep him half the year on the IR only to cut him after he showed he can play. Bring on hines ward!

Probably the poop slingers tossin bricks at most of em that brough out the worst. Pretty much had to be Milt, or milt JR (edwards) to make a go of it.

No joke. Brazzell missed all the plays he should make. Then randomly for a half of football he'd make 4+ plays he had no business making only to disappear again. Yeah it is. K9 was heart wrenching especially being as he was such a great person and soo fan friendly.

I bet big mike could still truck the poop outta a bunch of defenders. While we are at it I bet blink is 100% healthy.

Really both guys would be a lot better off with a heavy mix of veer/spread option type stuff. Limit decisions to few and easy ones, move them away from the rush, get the ball into the hands of some one to make a play as quick and easy as possible or make it them self.

We'd just need a hell of a good blocker for burt. Some one to keep the fuzz off him.

Ya normand had a pretty darn good catch. Coates is a rich mans JFG. Id love to see him get a real shot at starting next year. Too soon people forget the likes of kamau incompleterson, wayne mcdropcity, and good ole hands of stone brock ralph. Once i started a whole torrent of hardly get open, drop the easiest passes types came to mind. Some of chris brazzells drops truly blew my mind.

Gotta be sandler. the bandit is a bajillion years old and a stiff breeze could kill him. And we all know no matter how horrible the flop sandler allways comes back right away showing no worse for wear.

yes, he very very easily could have been worse.

Im not cetain he could play the last couple years he was here. FK it call up to the booth. SIGN DOUG BROWN.
