Week One Ottawa Vs Winnipeg

[Bubba Zanetti]

Hoping Mack can bring some pressure, cause Willie is going to see non-stop double/triple teams with Jeffcoat out of the lineup.

Couple brief thoughts reading the depth charts:

Ottawa's offence doesn't scare me whatsoever.

For us, where is Dobson? Only 6 lineman dressed, he apparently isn't one of them. I don't recall seeing him being injured either. 6 lineman seems risky.

we have run with 6 o-lineman pretty much exclusively....as do most teams....we had 2 extra for spells last yr...and 2019....but generally teams only dress 6 true o-lineman....that extra 7th is more a luxury if u do it

[rebusrankin]

Steward and Ruby at guard for Ottawa don't impress me much.

The numbers for are MLB a bit odd too.  2 different numbers between 4 players - Bighill and Gauthier have 4 covered while Clements & Maruo got 0.  I don't think I have ever seen both 0 & 00 used at the same time before.

Know what, add 0 with 00 and 4 with gauthier 4 and 4, it is 12. There’s twelve players on defence, including and surrounding the MLB. 

[Booch]

yeah that Ottawa O-line doesnt seem too stout and this is perfect game for us to rest Jeffcoat, and let new guys get feet wet while the Ottawa O-line takes time to gel...wouldn't be surprised if we rest him next week too if the newbies get pressure

[rebusrankin]

Its all about playing your best game in the Grey Cup not that I will not be pissed off after every loss.

[Noeller]

Jacob Ruby is an absolute turnstile.... that OL isn't good, outside of their LT. Really surprised by Jeffcoat being out. As mentioned, Willie is going to see doubles (at minimum) all night, so in theory Mack has room out there...

Sayles will have a day then!

Does anyone know what's up with Jeffcoat? Has he practiced at all even in TC?

I would think Prukop does the short yardage, but if god forbid ZC gets nicked..Brown slots in...and to me that works just about right

If I'm counting correctly we have 21 Americans counting the extra QB so we could still axe a QB from the gameday roster... Seems likely

conspicuous by his absence. Nobody's said a thing other than that he's not practicing. The daily injury reports say "Ankle", but that's all we really know.

Do you remember he ever practicing though? Like this year I mean

Dobson is being hidden on the 1 game ir. I suspect they want kolankowski because he can play snap to the shot gun. If Dobson was the 6th it would be tough you’d have to double switch and maybe put neufeld at c. Dobson has played c in college last year a bit. But it’s a big step to the pros out of position. 
 

I’m a bit surprised they didn’t go with Augustine starting. But if they are going to rotate and I hope they are starting with Brady and changing pace with augustine is optimal. 
 

I wonder if wilcots or walker will be the scratch. Personally if ford and Kramdi are ready I’d keep both and sit Houston. 
 

I don’t like 6 ol roster or two qbs 1 specialist kicking etc. I’d love to see the cfl roster grow 4 or 5 spots. Even if 3 or 4 are ni. I hate seeing out of position ol qb kickers punters etc. doesn’t happen often but when it does the quality of game drops to a gross level.

I’m so confused about who our scratch is going to be

I bet it’s a high ankle sprain. 

[Goalie]

Are they dressing 3 QBS?

Can they? Looks like Brown is backup on the chart so bit confused there

[Mike]

Oh ok I get it - we don’t have one. There’s only 45 guys listed.

I knew it didn’t make sense because we have 5 American backups, which is the number you should have with 8 Canadian starters.

Ottawa only has 45 guys listed too so I guess the scratch is a thing of the past?

Yes teams have always 100% been able to dress a 3rd QB. Will they?? Who knows

Can Prukop catch? That's a question I hope we get to answer soon! 2 QB's on the field!!!!

As with all social media, curating your feed is crucial. Mute, Unfollow, whatever.... get rid of the voices that are a drag. Call it an echo chamber, but whatever keeps you sane. You are absolutely correct about being careful not to fall into the wrong one. 

Well, we're going to have some fun at Kilter on Sat! I'll likely be in a grey GC107 Champs hat and some kinda Bombers shirt, I would bet....

You do that and sometimes you just talking to yourself then. Twitter and Facebook comments are just a sesspool of crap tho on every topic. 

Today I disagreed with an Americans thoughts.  I got 20 notifications 5 minutes later 

Want to trigger ppl online? All you have to do is just disagree 

[rebusrankin]

I think the scratch might be Houston.

Yes they can. Do not think they will. I think prukop plus one of Houston walker and wilcots will sit. 
 

 I see 23 imp with qbs and 8 starting ni. Pretty sure prukop is one. 

[Jpan85]

No scratch teams can dress 45 players if the 45th player is a 3rd QB

There is no scratch

Couldn’t we dress 45 last year? It was 46 on the roster with one reserve, wasn’t it?

[wbbfan]

Aren’t we one global short too? Don’t we need to dress two?

Two reserves last year for a 44 man game day roster.

How long before some teams are using that as a fake di? Since you can have two qbs on the field now could even be an offensive player. We could roster grant as a qb.
