This is the point I think @JuranBoldenRules was making throughout the year. 
Wilson’s a good player, but salary and injury history made him a poor fit for this season. 
It’s just not a position to spend much more than league minimum on. 

They had a rookie in TC making plays all over the place, they chose to keep Wilson and now they’re stuck with nothing and nobody. 

Tre Thomas would have looked good here rotating in in all kinds of spots...SAM...Wil...prob would been a killer safety too

Once again we are putting in a player ( jones) with very limited reps because we dont give them the opportunities prior. Wilson hurt again shows he isnt a viable option at mlb. (Maybe hes hurt because of having to make more tackles   that our middle lb should have made)

No lucky again, and really only changes are those forced by injuries. Feels like were just reacting vs coaching

Sign Bailey and dress him tomorrow.  He knows the 2024 playbook better than at least 2 guys on the roster.

We need a bigger body so bad.  Wolitarsky is just getting bracketed.  Wilson needs to get open and catch the ball, can't throw him open being so tiny and soft with terrible, weak hands.  Not really sure what Johnson's purpose here is.

Pretty sad we have to pop McGhee on.

We don't even have a rush end around to pop on.  Perfect game for that.  Maybe should try to add someone off Toronto's PR in warmup.

once Lawler is back...for this yr I would be more than happy with a group of Lawler..Bailey...Demski....Woli and 2 of Wilson/Lucky and whomever on the roster....with Clericus...at this point...that be our best group...Lawler for his big play/deep/contested/shitty ZC throw ability....Bailey for grit and toughness....leadership...Woli for his reliabilty and work in run game...Demski playing his usual role and not having to be "the guy" and Lucky for a myriad of reasons.....Wilson can be allowed to develop...and see if he is actually legit....

UGLY. As per usual only roster moves are injury rested. God forbid we make an actual roster change on an under performing player on a 2-5 team. 

There might be 2 CFL players on this team who aren't dressed tomorrow.  And that's about it.

Mitchell, Alston...they won't let them play receiver.  Mitchell was pretty bad in pre-season and as returner.

We've got the two backup American OL.  Jeremy Murphy.  Samson, Karamoko.  Whitehead and Grymes who are cooked and likely out of shape at the moment.

Good thing we had 96 guys on the roster 5 days before our first regular season game.  Paying dividends now.

I’m a big fan of Wheatfall as well. Zach would have no excuses!

I didt include him as I dont expect him back for this yr...But we def have some options to consider/develop while we wait on Schoen...Who may/may not be ready by start of 2025...and even so...may take him half a yr to be back to Schoenesque form

So carrying Mitchell...Alston...Johnson on PR is just wasted space...use that for some actual true defensive ends....maybe an actual import guard...not some tackle convert...a legit punter.....make the PR useful and one where an actual potential starter can be developed....ther's a thought Osh...Ya doofus

The football IQ of this board goes right down the shitter the moment this team starts losing. Comical.

In: McGhee, Bridges, Charbonneau Out: Wilson, Feltmate, Cole

You saying that those moves make sense? 2 linebackers out, 2 DBs on the roster... Teamer for Teamer sure fine, but our front 7 already sucks and they did nothing to address losing 2 of those guys.

They already had Ayers and Jones on the roster in limited roles which now are likely to be expanded upon.  The only other linebacker they had available to elevate would have been global Fabian Weitz. Probably more a question of why they don't have more depth in this area on the practice roster than these specific roster moves not making sense.

Ayers and Jones were already on the roster! We just took 2 off and added more DBs without subtracting any DBs (Never mind that the 2 LBs coming off are the two best ones). The bolded is entirely the problem.... there were a handful of LBs from preseason that showed well they could have kept to be used in just this situation, instead we're left with "The only other linebacker they had available to elevate would have been Fabian Weitz"

They already had a **** load of LB's on.  Didn't we have 5 American LB's on last week?

There's really no one else on the PR.  Assume we'll see Griffin get some looks.

Hard to tell when only 2 saw any significant reps on the actual defence...and 1 of those 2 sucked...badly again....but still gets all the reps lol
