  1. A tag team of Howell and Pierce I think would be best option and probably pretty effective. Howell is actually becoming a pretty darn good coach, and is well respected and it shows as he has lasted through several regimes here now. Throw in Buck to help game plan, scheme and make in game adjustments (even mid drive adjustments) would totally turn the sad sack offence around. Buck even in past has called own plays, so he would be totally capable as the in-game off. assistant down on the sidelines working with the starter, with Howell in the booth managing the gameplan. If anything it can't be worse, and I truly believe actually rather impressive.
  2. I think even thought the defence has been progressing, a unit with a proven CFL ready backer like Simmons, with either Hurl and Bass, Or Bass and Randle makes us better. Randle can go back to corner and Bucknor rotates in and out and focuses on special teams, or Hurl gets rotated in and out and focuses on the teams.
  3. No offence to Thomas but he is fine just where he is and would not be a desired option as a full-time starter. If he was to come in and become one, we would has seriously regressed. In a perfect scenario I would rather him being depth on the PR or as the 2 scratches on the 46 man roster and we had a better option
  4. I think getting a receiving threat (or what they thought was a threat) was more valuable to them than at that point time in their inception than a linebacker...they were sooooo weak at receiver they needed a stud.
  5. hahaha...hey hey hey....I actually was a quarterback in highschool so I can sling it! I always have to laugh thinking back one night when a bunch of us were drinking at Scandals, and for whatever reason I had my alma mater high school leather football jacket on, which said Q.Back on the sleeve. Quincy Williams looks at it and says "wtf you were a QB in highschool?!?!..damn would have hated to see the size of the rest of your team!" ahhh memories Ha ha Scandals. What a dive. Good times, good times. Oh yes...used to jump between there and strawberry's on many a night...Had some good times there with the likes of Williams, West and Jones, Bovell..David Black..among others
  6. Discipline from the d-line to contain, not crash down on play actions and fakes and to a lesser extent..tone down their rush. For the Q.B...Mix in some draws and play action off tackle stuff...quick slants and crosses and I would work in a lot of sweeps, option plays and make the d-end have to choose who to commit to...then when they get too accustomed to that and are trying to figure that out, you nail em with out and ups and fly/post routes because the middle is gonna open up with the safety vacating

  8. I think Turner would do well rotating in and out off the edge
  9. If we don't lean heavily on the run..have sets with both of those backs in together and use the run and sprint outs and roll outs or option type stuff to help ease Marve into things then MB should be canned the next morning. We have the online to really dominate with a run game if you committed to it and played to it. Marshall is a strong sturdy hard running back who will wear a defense down and if he is working into the teens in carries by third quarter I can see him busting big ones late in game
  10. Sucks he's hurt and to be honest he still should have been in there as the game was not over and a lost cause. I can hear it now that if we ran Brohm out there and he did what he does best..nothing and we got nothing out of those two turnovers people would be screaming murder towards MOS saying that if he didn't "give up" we could have capitalized and got right back in the game. The casual fan doesn't understand the inner workings and psychie of team and players. Sitting Drew to start the half would have been the beginning of losing the room..the fact his players will run through walls for him and would of caused a world of damage to the team..trust me...he made the right call and any other coach would have done same. It was a fluke freak injury and not an issue of him getting pounded. The other game he got knocked out from Hamilton was a missed assignment and partly a cheap shot. All quarterbacks get pounded not just ours and truth be told the online is not as bad as people are whining about. it's more about scheme..a poor game plan and ability to make in game adjustments and somewhat on Drew himself,tho he has finally started to progress as he has shown in his running lately. We do need to change or offensive philisophy, probably coordinator too but the blessing is we will now to suit Marve and roll outs..moving the pocket and the launch points (on purpose) and Marves ability and knack to freelance will I think make this offence something to be reckoned with. You know what Brohm gives you...you now roll with Marve and let him develop on the fly..marvel through the good..learn and stick with him through the bad and assess at years end. If he craps all over..doesn't progress at all and shows signs he can't handle a full playbook then you cut bait. I truly think now that with all first team reps..gameplans designed for him (not Drew) he may just surprise. If he can make the next step he I think can be a better qb than Drew. I know his teammates back and support him and have faith..its time the fans here do the same and put assess in seats..you can't even understand how that fires a team up..gives them that bit of extra..when I used to run out to 60 000 crazies I can't even explain what it did to lift a team and make them better
  11. Not sure what you are referring to or watching, but Adams was far from garbage. Assignment wise was spot on with blocking, and probably has lost about 5-6 receptions (clutch ones at that) for over 100 yards due to penalties. From watching TC and games this year I would say he is the smoothest route runner on the roster, and knows how to position himself to take ball in stride and in best way to produce yac yards. I would bet by end of season he will be in top 5...at worst top 10..pretty good for the 3rd option
  12. You want Wild covering slotbacks all game? Maybe not all game..I sure that in a scheme there would be variation and adjustments based on offensive schemes and sets but I would have no issue. He was a safety in college and isn't slow for a linebacker so he has cover abilities
  13. D Johnson as well has taken reps in the middle, has played it in the past as well. Bass, Johnson and Randle would do more than what we have going on now. If Wild comes back maybe put him in Randles spot and put him back on the corner. He is more valuable there than where he is now.
  14. Yes, but of the few carries he had till last game, a lot were from the 3 yard line and in either for short yardage td's or on a 2 point convert...inside the 5 this year he has been pretty much money
  15. since we run 8 Canadians anyway, I would like to see a lot more of the offence morph into the two import back set, and removing one of the Canadian receivers as really, they serve no real purpose out there other than filling a spot. Couldn't key on a back on running plays, can send one, or both out of the backfield for designed plays, as well as an outlet if need be. Marshall is great too coming out of the backfield as a receiver, and lining up ala Drurie kind of all over the field. Why we don't utilize both is beyond me, especially when we don't have to have two Canadian receivers on field at all times. Baffles me
  16. I like the possibility that at times in the game Sliding Bass in the middle with Randle and Burnett outside. See what that does with the defence especially with another game under Collins belt to be in better game shape. I know the coaching staff are saying all the right things with Hurl and the Blue aren't in the business of tossing guys under bus publicly but after watching him the first part of the year I am not sold, and not sure he will ever develop into a full-time starter. Just doesn't have it, and from what I see doesn't have the natural instincts, nor reacts well to whats developing, has to take time to process and think and it hinders him in making impact plays
  17. He was my surgeon and performed 3 procedures on me, and if him, as well as the others cleared Drew and determined that he didn't sustain any trauma whatsoever, then I am totally fine with that.
  18. Greg Clark wasn't too shabby either...
  19. very highly doubt either one would be cut and would be utterly stupid, and if they were they would be snapped up in an instant.
  20. Sounds like Zach will not be 100% this year, hopefully they they can use him in rotation and spare further agravation to his injury. Who else besides Jake Thomas can rotate inside? Collins I would think...I thinking he pushing for a starting spot in the rotation anyway. Theres also as mentioned Harland and Fraser could go inside for reps too.
  21. Im a sucker for family reunion. I hope KW trade for him. I'd want to have a really good idea of what shenanigans he's been up to before bringing him here. No need to introduce any bad apples into the barrel. Wally can be a real hardcase, so it might be a lot of fuss about very little. I sure big brother being here would help keep him in check...he can smack him around if need be
  22. Throw them a late round pick and one of our import O-lineman for him....they need it
  23. If Thad Gibson and Derrell Johnson are back I don't think that's necessarily the case... however having both those guys on "personal leave" does make me a little nervous... I don't see it as a fail..We gained Westerman with Ivan Brown rotating in as Canadian which is an up grade over having Thomas and Richardson as a constant rotation and on the field. Thadius Gibson is better than what we had last year, and I think is being under estimated and really being away for birth of a child is hardly concerning. Johnson will be back and is gonna be a stud and We also have Fraser who is a year older, wiser and better and come off the edge..I not too worried especially seeing as we are playing a normal defence and guys who seemed sub par or were looking to be in decline will bounce right back
