If you’re in BC I hope you’re skipping around spreading the Blue and Gold cheer with all the BC lion locals wherever you go.  It’s just something I’m sure they would enjoy.

I’ve never liked you.

Sorry teacher.

Yes I'm in Vancouver but am not partaking in the festivities dowtown. Retired pension income. So will watch and cheer game on TV and communicate with my Lions friends on facebook. I think the reality of big screen HD at home is not a bad option at this point.

Excellent. I don't need to be liked.

The entire game comes down to this... If our OL can't stand up to guys like Ceresna and McManis, it's a lost cause. Zach will be freaking out with no pocket and tossing the ball everywhere but to receivers. 

You didn’t hear me the last time.

Can we see you out back please.

Lol I’m glad you’ve turned the corner, but I do have to trot out the reminder that you are the last guy to be talking about this given the way you were acting on our losing skid. 
 

but hey let’s go Blue! Just win baby

Last weekend flipped a switch for me that had been off for awhile... I'm back.

oshin'...thats why....and yeah that one kinda makes zero sense...as MCI is really good on teams too

Is mci nicked? 
not getting Cole on is the biggest risk imo. Samson on is real interesting as well as carrying 3 ni dts in general. 
weitz isn’t ready for the ar. 
It’s not awful but it is odd.

Just another reason to get rid of the global designation and convert them to import DI spots. Sheehan would be retained as a DI and Cole could have been added instead of Weitz. I don't quite know what Weitz will bring instead of Karamoko but he's a giant question mark as well.

Speaking as a birder, I've seen a wild Karamoko before, but never a wily Weitz.

Cole is just a beast… especially vs Toronto last time he had a huge game, head scratcher for sure.

I wonder if we might see a little more Gabe Wallace. The image of him plowing a guy into the endzone in front of Oliveira last week is burned into my brain

I think this is very much our path to victory. The big advantage for Toronto last time was their Dl vs our ol. Run 6 ol with Wallace on a lot more and give zach time to pick apart this secondary. 
 Funny thing is, I’d sub out keric mostly too

Yeah. And if ba can only play teams it makes no sense to keep him off when he can back up and sub for sam, wil, nickle, and S while being better on teams. 
 

We gotta bring him back in the off season. Some one might be keen to snipe him in free agency. 

[Goalie]

Cole is another guy who seems to be overrated by people on here. I don’t actually remember him ever making a play outside of special teams.  I mean he’s ok but this complaining about which American don’t make it this week is wild. Cole comes in? Who comes out. Then the cycle continues cuz they took Adams out or something or whoever the flavour of the week is.

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be this place without complaining about the roster for one last week this season and blaming every perceived bad decision on Osh...

"Why don't we dress more D-Lineman?!?! We need to stay fresh and rotate guys in!"

 

Bombers: Proceed to dress seven D-Lineman

"Damn Osh making roster moves for no good reason whatsoever!!"

Five straight championship games be damned...

To be fair, I watch the team less closely/frequently than you guys of course, but I still think he’s an impact player based on what I’ve seen.

TSN has a grey cup Saturday on right now...no lie...they just asked Nathan Rourke how you prepare for a grey cup game....

I just don’t think he’s the difference between a w or an L. It’s just an American special teams guy. Dude rarely played. Ppl acting like he’s a starting linebacker when he really hasn’t been.

Rewatch the last Argo game Cole was making plays everywhere, played a lot in the last Als game as well but didn't play as well and got burned a few times.

The last Argo game we lost? 

[blue85gold]

Cole can be a valuable guy because he’s so athletic. Against a running QB he’s been good a tracking them down. Can’t really speak to if he’s that good in pass coverage vs the others

1, the primary concern is teams play (we got killed again last week and go against the best return team and man In the league tomorrow) and 2 depth. 
 If any thing the team is higher on Cole than any one here, they’ve been grooming him a long time and given him prep and development time at sam and S to fill out depth. 
 Cole got most of his D snaps pre injury this year which wasn’t a lot. Which is probably why you haven’t noticed him. But you not noticing him doesn’t really make him over rated on here. Cole and ayers are the two most talented and athletic lbers we have. Ayers passed Cole during his injury but both are big parts of our future. 
 

like I said, if ba can again only play teams it makes no sense to keep him over Cole. 
 Honestly, I’d sit keric start 6 ol with Wallace and bring Cole on. Haba is easily debatable with how many reps the Canadians will get, Taylor is as well. Though I like having Taylor’s big game experience and leadership on. 
 I’d probably take ba off, put Cole on take weitz off put Hubert on.

He’s better at S than sam imo. He played the wil nickle some this year before injury, but that was just before our secondary gelled. 
 You’re right he’s excellent at spying either QBs or rbs. Hes deadly on the blitz as well. He’s good as an inside wall guy in the split field zone D. And he’s good at running side line to side line gang tackling on wide runs and screens. 
 He isn’t huge and great at getting off blocks, and isn’t polished enough in pass cover to straight drop while covering a wr in man from the line. If he gets one of those two down he’s an elite cfl starter and probably gets back to the NFL. 
 Hes great at reading the play and coming down field making plays. That’s the whole reason he was drafted into the nfl.

What’s this about BA only playing teams? He definitely played some D last week.

Hope we have a plan to deal with Jake Ceresna this time... he beat up on our interior OL pretty bad

Neufeld needs to move his feet and remember he has arms.

Lots of plays in that last matchup he's shoulder checking guys in pass pro and letting guys right into the pocket.
