I mean I would still list Jake Thomas as a starter but field 8 CDNs... Yeah depending how the rest of the offseason goes it will either be 6 NI on O and 1 on D or 5 on O 2 on D. They have to maintain that the entire game so if you list 7 on O and zero on D but then you have a couple injuries to the NI's on O it becomes a scramble. You have one guy who is a starter but not technically a "starter" for ratio purposes. Then you have an import sub who can replace anyone on the field on O. J5V 1

I wasn't sure how that officially worked... that being said, I think I'm still more comfortable with 7 NI on offence - because subbing in a less talented fifth receiver with Rush or Mike Miller isn't as bad as losing Thomas in a game... Still a long way to go - I'm sure we're going to find another Cdn or two on D
JuranBoldenRules Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 Just now, Floyd said: I wasn't sure how that officially worked... that being said, I think I'm still more comfortable with 7 NI on offence - because subbing in a less talented fifth receiver with Rush or Mike Miller isn't as bad as losing Thomas in a game... Still a long way to go - I'm sure we're going to find another Cdn or two on D Well they'd have 3-4 guys they are comfortable with playing D minimum for the one spot, and they don't have to declare that a NI will be used at a certain position, just that a NI will be on the field at all times on D. So right now there's Thomas, Briggs, Miles, the DB's, Griffiths and whoever we draft, plus Hansen who can't "start" as one of the 7 but unless it changes for this season he can sub in for anyone. Worst case scenario if Thomas and Briggs go down you throw a guy out at field corner if it comes down to it, 2/3 of the QB's in the league can't make a throw out to the field, you just gotta switch to a zone that will make it harder for the O to isolate that guy. **** that used to be the gameplan...remember Matt Bucknor?

rebusrankin Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 How does it work with this vets counting as NIs now. Could you not hypothetically start Woli, Peterman, Demski with Lawler and another american and then sub Adams in as your 3rd NI a couple of plays into the game?

Yeah it will be interesting to see how that plays out and how it is allowed to be manipulated.
BBlink Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 Lawler is for sure an up and coming star. He can make spectacular catches. Now we have a qb that will give him a chance to showcase that more Bigblue204, rebusrankin, NorthernSkunk and 1 other 3 1

Lawler is our star IMO. Already right there and primed for a huge breakout with more usage. What's the games played per player?
Bigblue204 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 I'd love to get Walker. But I'm just as comfortable going into the season with Bailey. Mr Dee, Noeller and J5V 2 1
Geebrr Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I think Tasker should take his Dressler like talents to Ottawa and stay away. Edited February 22, 2020 by Geebrr Noeller, Booch and Bigblue204 2 1

Extremely tight with family in Buffalo area. Playing in S. Ontario is more than just convenience it's vital. Also I suspect a shoulder injury was far more severe than stated . He struggled when he came back at tail end of season. Total non factor in post season. Health status, awaiting surgery etc. might be what's holding contract up. Thinking out loud. Team is ridiculously underserved by media here. Edited February 23, 2020 by Zontar Wanna-B-Fanboy, Tracker and J5V 2 1

Drew Edwards did a great job covering the Ti Cats for the Spectator. So, naturally that meant moving him off the Ti Cat beat & eventually laid him off.

So Desjardins two pressers this year are 'oh no my job is so hard because of the salary cap' and 'we didn't bring in receivers because Lapo didn't want them'... They are going to destroy Arbuckle as a starter... sad. Mr Dee and J5V 1 1

rebusrankin Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 Marcel seems like he's back to being the disaster that he was in Hamilton.
Geebrr Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 Our offence with LaPo was based around a dominant Oline and HOF running back that can run, catch, and block as good as anyone. Don't see that in Ottawa Mark H. 1
