Geebrr Posted July 20, 2023 Report Posted July 20, 2023 The OL is frustrating. I wish we could hear the reasoning. wbbfan and Noeller 2

voodoochylde Posted July 20, 2023 Report Posted July 20, 2023 Nice to see the change and Eli officially backing up Kola at C (with a possible future move to start?) .. hoping this translates into a better overall performance this evening. Go Blue. JCon, BomberBall, Geebrr and 5 others 8
Booch Posted July 20, 2023 Report Posted July 20, 2023 yeahb thats the first time he has been listed behind Kolo isnt it? Noeller, Piggy 1, Jesse and 2 others 5

Yeah .. they've had Dobson at C since the start of the year which was a head scratcher to me. The only reason I could think of for that (and it's a stretch) would be questions around Eli's commitment level to the CFL .. again .. not saying it's the case .. it's me stretching for a reason. wbbfan 1

Well he did sign a 3 yr deal...and his commitment was taken away from him due to stupid regulations...If that had never happened...good chance Kolo wouldnt even be in the league...as he was already out of the league and we needed a body Bigblue204 1

I don't have any doubts about his commitment.

We signed Kola in February of 2020. Eli wasn't suspended until December 2021.
Booch Posted July 20, 2023 Report Posted July 20, 2023 then he would have never made the roster...I didnt realize he as here already...fact of the matter tho he was out of football for 2 yrs and nobody was knocking down his door....you would think at the least the Riders would have scrap heaped him

EDIT: I think we'll still see a lot of Gray in TE formations tonight Edited July 20, 2023 by bearpants

I think Gray was the least impactful when it came to the run game. Got a true nasty boy back in the middle now. K-Shack and Bigblue204 2

Got a true nasty boy back in the middle now. I don't know about that, Gray and Neufeld always seems to be the first ones downfield when the running game is working well. If anything I think his pass protection suffers with his high center of gravity. Edited July 20, 2023 by Fatty Liver Mark F 1

I think he's built to be a mauler.
MOBomberFan Posted July 20, 2023 Report Posted July 20, 2023 Cannot wait to see Dobson on the field for a full game. My eyes again will be glued to the OL Geebrr and Tracker 2
