So if clercius or demski goes down we have to fundamentally change all our packages. Of course this could also have been insured against if we just used lucky as a NA, then he'd be able to go in for them for half the snaps in the game. Do we know for sure that they aren't designating him? Do they have to announce publicly or just to the league/refs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but they also may want to ease Byrant in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Lucky is a competent returner but I don't expect any risky 'Janarion' type returns....More a secure the ball and hit the turf type game....Knowing his fragility ...that's best...Pity that is missing from our game this year Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also pretty well always start/stay with who is listed as starter on the depth chart. OL is one spot where you don't really ever see guys subbing in/out like you do in other positions. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue85gold Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Opens giant can of worms... I'm wondering if the 7th oline on is really the back up oline who would go in if there is an injury. Wallace did over Eli previously. They seems to like Eli at that 6 oline spot more than they like him playing in one of the 5 oline spots. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams and league all see the official roster, so they would only be fooling the fans, which doesn't make much sense. 22 minutes ago, bearpants said: IMO, overall a net positive: Stanley > Vanterpool Wheatfall > Johnson Wilson > Bridges MCI < Woli Dolegala < Strev As others have mentioned... the only thing I'm disappointed in is not finding a way to get Adams on the roster... I feel like the DL played it's best with him in Mostly I agree with that. I think MCI + clercius starting is about as good as having woli in. I love woli, but Clercius has been as good as woli as a pass catcher. Not having the back up canadian wr hurts especially if we see an injury. If not, I don't think its a big loss. Imo, having wilson run the short yardage and not using the very poorly designed/executed strev package is a mild upgrade as well. We don't need 5 yards on 3rd and inches. If dolegala doesn't see the field and wilson doesn't throw we haven't lost any thing. Certainly a net positive. Unfortunately it still leaves us the most susceptible in the worst area. If you see habba, WJ, and thomas all on the field (either alone or plus 1) and edmonton runs, they are gonna get real good yardage. If we had Garbutt, adams, Woods, +/- Hubert on the field at the same time, Edmonton wouldn't stand a chance. Considering how little we would've had to give up just to get Hubert back on the roster, its disappointing. Like noah hallett. Weitz as the global is kinda meh too. karamoko gives us more on teams imo, but who knows maybe weitz can grow into some thing.

K-Shack Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 This is looking pretty good aside from the thin DL. I wish we'd added Adams and Hubert back in or at least one of them. Hubert over Charbonneau or Noah Hallett, as wbbfan mentioned above. And would Adams be better roster usage than the 4th American linebacker in Ayers or Griffin at this stage (in addition to being better usage than Randolph)? wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would Adams be better roster usage than the 4th American linebacker in Ayers or Griffin at this stage (in addition to being better usage than Randolph)? I would not take off ayers because of his special teams contribution, or Griffin, he plays on D a lot in the dime pack and is extremely good. Imo griffin has been better than holm this year. Randolph I like at guard, but a DI 7th ol is just poor usage unless you are using him a lot, and we won't. Eli will be the one coming on in the regular offence heavy set, as well as having MCI and schmeckel. Booch, K-Shack and Piggy 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffen is very important and a guy we be real dumb to sit...Ayers too....and he's been growing his defensive reps each game and hasnt hurt us at all there The rostering of a DA 7th oline guy is where Adams could slide right in....and should have really...Weitz as well could be replaced by Hubert...or give Samson a look.....we have enough Wetz type guys rounding out our ST's so his removal wouldnt effect using the least...plus he will never step foot on defense for any reps ...so again...whats the point?

17to85 Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Yeah the best choice would be just have 6 OL and use the extra DL instead. Always disliked dressing 7 OL. K-Shack, Booch and Stickem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on crutches and while it isn't impossible that he'd be back at the end of the year, I highly doubt he will. That kid was every thing advertised and soo much more. I especially love that he's taking it on him self to hone his physique into some thing better for the cfl. I look forward to seeing what he brings to camp next year. With polish far exceeding what was expected, and a year with marty plus an offseason I would not be surprised if he steals a starting G spot next year.
