You mean players might look different in different systems? With different supporting casts and playbooks? 

Take a look at who the Bombers have turned into All stars on their back end and where they came from. Just off the top of my head Jones and Maston were cast offs I believe, Taylor too...though I could be wrong about that one. The coaches know who fits in with their style and Darby is absolutely one of them. 

Just need our LBs to get healthy now...well mainly our WLB. Come on Wilson!!!

Taylor and Maston were cast offs....technically Darby was too as T.O sent him packing for a PR olineman whom they cut...

Blue and Gold post a 2021 profit of 2.1 million dollars. Far and away, the flagship franchise in the CFL. Kudos to all, especially in a shortened season.

they going after him tho as the scheme we been running to try and help him is to have him play way off and keep it all in front....and was doing ok enough for us with Taylor in...but since he went out, and Holm took over its been a gapping hole and a huge issue....Holm if u watch the field is lost a lot....takes wrong guy...or realizes to late to impact the play in regards to breaking it up, or preventing significant gains...what you see via TV angles doesnt tell the whole story....Parker gets a lot of the hate which is a bit unjust

Even with the tv shots, last game alone you can see several instances of Holm spinning around in circles trying to figure who his man was...he's a rookie...playing with another rookie...what would you expect.

Expand  

Yeah I'm not trying to blame one or the other, but the combo of 2 rookies is just painful. Unless they're Alford and Nichols it's too much to ask.

What we know for fact is that Darby played at an all star level for us last year. Not 5 years ago, last year

I don’t really give a fug about how he played in Hamilton.

I actually really like the potential in Holm. He did look lost out there at times...but man is he ever quick. And if he can ever figure this game out, he will be a very good player!

Expand  

he needs to add a few more tools to that quick bit..as well as some lbs's...Dude is a waif and a stiff breeze would know him down.....and lotsa guys are quick....isnt the be all end all

On top or everything else good about Darby playing great here last year, he is basically plug and play.

He knows the defence, he knows the team. 
 

It is an immediate starter 

Expand  

Love getting Darby back. That’s huge. 
 Kind of odd that we sent wilcotts when we are paper thin at dl as well. Maybe they have some one on the verge of signing

I don't think we're as thin as some suggest. We signed what 3 DE in the last few weeks? MOS said pregame that Cooper would be ready for a more prominent role next week. That kid from the criders knows the CFL. I'd be willing to Bet that Jeffcoat plays this week as well.

I love getting Darby back but this is pretty bad in terms of having to give up an asset at a spot we’re razor thin at just to get a guy that’s been on the practice roster pretty much all year.

I wonder how beat up Rutledge is.

Expand  

We should be able to replace Wilcots fairly easily though.  TBH I’m not sure why Hamilton would have wanted him rather than a pick.

and safety...was he not a cfl all-star there one yr?....he did play the spot tho...and very well

Expand  

He may have… I’d have to double check, I thought it was at corner. Either way, Swiss Army knife DB who knows the system!

How long is Nick Taylor supposed to be out?

They’ve been listing cooper at de but he’s 220 lbs and played lber in school. He’s also dressed for 3 games and not played a snap. I wouldn’t expect him to be taking meaningful reps at de. 
 Bronson is listing at 277 I’m guessing he’s going to be used similar to walker and sayles as well. 
 Adams is good but even with a healthy Wj and jj that’s thin for us.

Darb can start SAM, halfback, or corner. Dude is an unbelievably smart player. 

Expand  

And safety. He can basically play any defensive position. If ba wasn’t healthy he’d be the guy to put at s. 
 I expect he will be taking a hb role. 
 

sure would be nice to get houston back this year.  Atleast one of the young dbs holm hassell and parker need to step up. And rose too.

Apparently Ellingson IS active at practice...not sure how active but he's there doin....stuff

Expand  

Had a listen to the coach's show on Spotify this morning from last night's episode. Osh mentioned that while he isn't expecting anyone new back this week, that there are "a number of players who are extremely close" or something to that effect.

I actually hope he doesn't, I want to see what these new DE's can bring before the end of the season,  Jeffcoat has nothing to prove and needs to recover fully before the playoffs begin.
