M.O.A.B. Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 Could they put Holm at safety and Taylor at field-side halfbback?

Don't know whythey just don't put Taylor at safety....he's olde...but still has elite speed...also knows all the nuances of CFL offenses so back there he would know exactly where to flow too...no need to make 3 moves to satisfy 1 injury...thats just bad management no matter how much a coach or players say they know all the positions Taylor at safety...Bonds and Ford at corner....Anders Holmvic at HB and Griffin as the all around ace.....easy peasy wbbfan 1

Still, it would be nice to have that kind of option in an emergency, ad we would have a lot less "roughing the kicker" penalties. wbbfan 1

Plus Kelly isn't a rookie.

If we are going imp at S and not going with Cole, Taylor makes the most sense then nichols. One guy out of position rather than multiple guys. Taylor is basically Holms upside, but Taylor has this dynamic play making ability. You watch him play and you can totally see how he’d was such a good basketball player, and would likely succeed at any athletic endeavour. 36 minutes ago, bigg jay said: We've had that option all season in Devin Adams.

The 30s? I want to say in his younger days that Jake Thomas was also a back up k/p. Think it was talked about when lankford had to do some duty for us in a pinch.

The only factor? Nope. There were multiple reasons we lost that game and most of them were not on the coaching. My objection is that you guys say that with better coaching we would have won...and it's only partially true..we also needed about a half dozen brain cramps, busted coverages, and poor QB decisions, back as well. Had we played a clean game up to the level of our lineup we had it's quite possible that roster usage may not have mattered Edited October 22 by GCn20 Noeller and martypants100 2
