Using your appeal to authority the coaches are smarter than the rest of us so if Jake gets the most reps he must be the best defensive lineman. No in my opinion if Lawson was healthy Thomas would be a backup, what dressing these extra canadians gives MOS again imo is flexibility if a cdn starter(s) get hurt. The organization as a whole would not dress CDN just because they are Canadian. I know MOS is loyal but he ain't stupid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So eventually you realize that despite the narrative pushed on here by the my way is the only way group…. You’re wrong. Kolo is the better center. pro sports teams ain’t playing guys just cuz. They are playing the best players available to them. I’ll trust the ppl who see them day in day out over ppl who don’t even go out to camp to watch b4 forming their opinion. The pro coaches think kolo is better than Eli. The 6 fans on here think Eli is better. I’ll take the pro coaches opinion. wrong...wrong.....so wrong...Jake is not the best DT....Schmuck is not the best rotation guy....BA is no longer the best Safety.....Kramdi tho adequate and has his moments....is also not the best SAM we could put out there....Hallett is not the best extra guy to bring in on 30 fronts......Going back to last yr.....Jackson was not the best FB option.....Osh plays his fav's and guys who for whatever reason he has some warped sense of ...I dunnno what to even call it Also yeah you play whats available to yhou...but at end of day Osh sets his roster and has last say in who makes team...and doesn't....for all his accolades...this is a huge flaw....and has cost us at times 11 hours ago, bb1 said: No in my opinion if Lawson was healthy Thomas would be a backup, what dressing these extra canadians gives MOS again imo is flexibility if a cdn starter(s) get hurt.

I dunno about that.....Lawson had to take back seat reps to Jake last yr.....and nothing would have changed this yr And Osh also is overly excessive with his Canadian players....and was the lone proponent basically against the Nationalized American rule.....this is his way of sticking it to ....whoever.....and it's not to the greater benefit of the team Tracker, Piggy 1 and BigBlueFanatic 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes still our best C by a good margin. Hes under contract for 2 years still and he’s 28. If he stays healthy he replaces kola at some point. Which makes me wonder who is going to age out first- Tui Eli or Kolankowski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll say this, Eli came back from a career ending injury to start his pro career. And then he came back when 99% of the people in the market gave up on him after Covid. So I think he will continue that way even if he ends up hurt again and win just based on that. Now some one else might step in and cause him to be our perma 6th guy. But I think it’s only a matter of time. Also while kola has been a picture of health, sloppy body guys in their 30s don’t stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were born in the maritimes and your first name is Jake. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
