Atomic Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 We could actually start five American OL without changing the ratio. Demski, Woli, Oliveira, Clercius, Ford, Kramdi, and Thomas would still be our starting 7 Canadians and Stanley Bryant, Willie Jefferson, Bighill, or BA could all count as the 8th (nationalized American). Not that we even have 5 American OL in house... Just saying it's possible. TBURGESS, voodoochylde, rebusrankin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace is the future at RG and should replace Neufeld this season. 1 hour ago, Booch said: we could go Bryant...Eli at center...some stud import guard...the best of Wallace/Dobson at other....Keep Lofton and if we start Woli/Demski/BO as well then we only need Ford as a "starter", and a guy on every down rotating at either SAM...or on Dline...Heck even give Kramdi some safety reps...or morph him into a safety....easily doable We dont have to be running out sets with 2 National dlineman...and Kramdi...and Ford.....and sometimes 3 national Dlineman....That whole way we been doing things is pointless....dumb....and sacrifices talent and an aggressive defense for......man I dont even know what for other than an Osh preference Kramdi is fine at SAM. He proved you wrong last game. Booch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could only help Wallace in his growth and give Neufeld some rest so "if" by some chance we make the play offs he will be more healthy to play.

I would sit Neufeld in the playoffs, for the younger Wallace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One great game doesn't make a career or justify the use...he has had more sub par and poor games than great ones...now if that was the norm...sure...but it isn't...and I bet we dont see another game like that again but will see many of what we have seen up to that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would swap Biggie for their MLB.....Maybe one team would take BA over their guy....Who would scoop Case...Mitchel...Johnson off the scrap heap and start them.... There a reason we are sitting at 2-5...and lucky to be at that record to be honest.... Edited July 30 by Booch rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 (edited) But you need 7 Canadian starters and we don’t have anyone better than kramdi who can take a spot. He’s not our worst Canadian starter that’s for sure. You can’t just replace Canadian starters with Americans. The ratio is a thing. You know who gets burned more than kramdi?

17to85 Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Let's put it this way... I'd use less Canadians on the Dl and Ol before I took Kramdi out. voodoochylde, Mark H., blue85gold and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Unger Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Let's face it. We're wasting our time worrying about the defensive starters at this point. We need to fix the offence and fast. Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted July 30 Author Report Share Posted July 30 Rather than "lucky to be 2-6" I actually think we could just as easily be 6-2 with a few breaks going our way. We were good/deep enough to win those games in the past, and now we're just good enough to lose this year...

However, he has not been fine at that position in the previous games. Booch and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
