Elks @ West Division Champs: The Game (that no longer matters) Day Thread

[Noeller]

Y'all be slackin' again... 11:30 your time, and no GDT yet? Let's goooooooo!! 

With a BC loss last night, this game officially no longer matters. Osh told reporters yesterday that he WOULD be adjusting the roster today in case the game no longer had meaning. Likely much less reps for our 1's. Maybe a quarter or a half for Collaros? 

Kickoff around 6pm CST.... Jets/Oilers late game on HNIC immediately after. Gonna be a great day! 

Let's go Blue!

Roster management is today's key

I have my comments and criticisms ready to go. Some people might have missed their goals (Cough Dillon Mitchell Cough) but I have exceeded my pre season goal of 2500 complaints about the roster and MOS's roster management.

LFG. Party time at IGF today.

The last of any rain should clear the area anytime now, a great fall day for some football 🏈. Would love a 3pm start but will work with 6. 
 

Go Blue!!!

Win or lose I’ll be drinking the booze tonight! I still like our chances with our B squad tonight over Deadmonton

[Booch]

Won't be much of a B roster as it was set already...some backups may get more playtime tho..moreso on defence as really...not many for offence other than QB

[Dodge and Burn]

Heard that Jackson will be taking reps at Wr, punter and possibly QB if the game is in hand.

You don't think they take Brady out early and go with Johnny? How about less reps for Demski and more McCrae? More Eli and Dobson once Zach goes out?

Brady should try to get 2000 al purpose yards tonight cause I don't if he plays against the Stamps

I don't really consider Eli and Dobson backup/B players...and i sure they will give BO ample work to at least get 2nd.most yards by a Canadian RB...also...he in consideration also for a few awards and could have a clause in his contract pertaining to them...I sure he will get less...but for most part this roster today is all regular rostered players

I imagine most of the changes will be more rest for the guys playing  through things.

Wonder how long Zach goes.

And it’s still up for debate which set of comments was more completely overblown and ultimately wildly inaccurate. 😉

Mike O’Shea doesn’t need to manage a roster. He shoots whiskey into his neck with a syringe.

I'm guessing he gets the half.

I honestly wouldn’t give him more then a couple of drives, and would be okay with him not playing at all but i get the guys want to play and there’s still some individual goals I’m sure some of the players want to achieve.

Brady is actually the guy I’d get off early. He’s young and tough but he plays a hell of a punishing style. And back just don’t last very often. After that Zach ofc. I really hope Demski hits 1k though.  
 

Also, f Chris jones. Still want to pound these creeps.

I feel like Zach and Brady go a half at most and Demski maybe the same.

Because its a home game and all the players are here I thought there might have been a few last minute changes to the roster. Maybe roster Drew Richmond or put in some fresh faces on the dline.

941 yards is my guess

Yeah or atleast 1k for Demski. 
 

love that block by Bailey. Don’t tell him it’s a meaningless game. 

[bustamente]

Brady train starts early, get 2k and get out
