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. 
 

Derrick Doggett is still waiting for his shot to start on D.  Once he gets it he'll only take 3 seasons to tie Adam Bighill in MODP awards.

Five straight championship games be damned...

 

I get the extreme's, MOS and crew are almighty and know all to MOS and crew suck ass and don't know jack **** regardless of 5 straight GC appearances.

Me thinks tho you and few others are over simplifying this roster talk and other football talk that may run counter to the decisions made by our club with your fly by's and I'm not even a football x's and o's type guy. 

MOS and crew are awesome but really man it's okay to talk shop and toss around different things that may run counter to certain decisions and approaches taken by the club.

That's the fun of it in my eyes.

Don't be a fun sucker and please don't hurt me if that's a real pic of you in your profile. 🙂

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

Barely. Taylor played the majority of snaps at S.

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. 

As much as I know..nope...straight up osh decision 

36 minutes ago, wbbfan said:

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. 

Yup...if BA is limited...not sure he is...then why dress him..Cole has value in multiple areas and is one our best ST guys...and with Kelly out who is another of our best...you need Cole...BA isn't a ST stud anymore

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. 

U are correct

Didn't they rotate BA down near the box in the extra DB sets?  He was in some plays in the Lapo D breakdown.

Some mostly early. He might’ve played the 3rd most reps at S.

Yeah he came in as 6th and 7th...Taylor was pretty much exclusively safety

They actual played some dual safety sets too

Mmmmmm nope.

[blue85gold]

A big part of the D is all the extra DBs so I don’t think it would make sense to take BA out. 
 

Cole may have some potential at safety but he hasnt really shown coverage skills yet

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

Do you though? You have to be that guy? 

 

 

With that...

 

LETS ******* GO BLUE!!!!!!!

Being as how Doggett is 39 years old already, he may qualify for a pension first.

[rebusrankin]

I suspect the club runs a lot of 6 OL sets to counter the Argos pass rush.

Despite all the turnovers and sacks given up we were in both games with a real shot to win.

Turn on the air fryer.

[Goalie]

What was Rourkes answer? First go to the LC then M and M for some wings and appetizers. Then sit on the couch?  Man.  I’m gonna choose random name and it’s like asking the same thing. @Noeller how do you prepare for the grey cup.

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

He's gotta be hurt .otherwise WHY?

[SpeedFlex27]

I was watching about 35 minutes of TSN coverage today of the Grey Cup. I had to turn it off as the talk of how great the Argos are just kept on & on.  Yeah, occasionally they'd mention Zach but barely no reference of Oliveira for the Bombers. LaPo did say if the Bombers took care of business that they'd win. Jim Barker, who never gives any credit to Winnipeg on anything was all Argos. He thinks the Argos DL will kill our OL. Now, maybe they will but I think redemption is on the minds of our OL. So, I just turned it off. **** TSN. They just can't stay neutral. 

They also had some random dude talking about Grey Cup betting on Fan Duel listing the odds for this & that. Thankfully, I'm not a gambler so most of this talk just goes in my one ear & out the other. Dude was definitely leaning to the Argos winning, surprise, surprise....

Here's one stat that they never talk about when betting. The Argos are undefeated since 1983 at the Grey Cup. Eight straight wins which is why they're miles ahead of us & Edmonton in most GC championships with 18. That is an incredible streak but all streaks come to an end... Plus we have never beaten Toronto in the GC ever going back to the 1940's. They can't keep that **** up. Argos are waaaaay overdue for a loss. Bet accordingly.

I know for a fact he could play...and really...when has that stopped Osh from playing guys who were actually hurt..and couldn't perform...I can think if...hmmm 6 instances..5 in 1 game for God's sake

It depends on reps but there is no way Woogie is in game shape.... I love the guy more than most, but don't be detrimental to the overall team success. 

Nah..If he is good to go let him play. Game shape doesnt really apply in this case as he has been splitting reps with Clercius.

MCI out is also a bit of a head scratcher...he has been real good in the blocking for the run game...plays all yr pretty much then punted off for the Cup...Hallett served no purpose

We needed extra beef along both lines. Something had to give.

Are we just not counting the Eskies since they've changed their name?

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

MCI looked like he was bit nicked last game. Maybe there was more there than what meets the eye.

Well..... Since you asked:

-Rewatch the 84, 88, 90, 19 and 21 GCs

-Wear some kind of Bombers gear every day of GC week 

-Read every piece of content you can find online about the team this week

-Soak up all the attention on the team because the offseason is brutally long 

-Pray, in a sort of ironic way...

-Make sure you have plenty of beer from Manitoba breweries 

-Make sure you have plenty of whiskey made in Manitoba (both Crown Royal and "New Make")

-Let the wife get her appie-making on....

-On gameday, start drinking at breakfast 

-CJOB pregame from start to finish 

Let's. *******. Go.

Well we added no beef on offence removing him...we had all beef we needed and it worked last game

Samson could have came on strictly as a swap out for Hallett or Kelly...
