Goalie Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 interesting, according to the twitter feed on the side, we may see 3 import oline this week as howard is getting lots of reps. January,Howard,Morley,Neufeld,Knapp. Goossen.
Atomic Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Why is everyone so high on Peach anyways? I've never seen him play, but from the love he gets here I imagine most of you must have seen him play and liked what you saw?
Mike Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 The bandwagon seems to have erupted ever since one or two people suggested he'd be worth a look. He's now MorningBigBlue.com's nominee for Most Outstanding Lineman 2014. TBURGESS, Floyd, Jpan85 and 3 others 6
rebusrankin Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Can anybody figure out how we would manage 3 internationals on the OL? That would leave 2 nationals on the OL, 2 at receiver, 2 on D and the 7th would be.....? A third national on D? A 4 receiver, 1 FB/TE set?
kelownabomberfan Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Why is everyone so high on Peach anyways? I've never seen him play, but from the love he gets here I imagine most of you must have seen him play and liked what you saw? I've checked practice rosters of other teams and Peach seems to be the only National OL I can find on any roster that actually has some playing time experience. Should we go out and grab Brad Erdos from the Stamps instead? Matt Vonk from the Riders? Maybe. Hugo Demarais from Ottawa? (who?) Jaskaran Dhillon from the Argos? Jake Piotrowski from the Als? The point is the pickings are pretty slim, so if you can find a National OL out there with playing experience whose name isn't Tyson Pencer or Chris Kowalchuk then you need to at least give them a serious look.
robynjt Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Any update on Watson? Glad Willy's ok, both our backups could never win a game for us after all.
sweep the leg Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Can anybody figure out how we would manage 3 internationals on the OL? That would leave 2 nationals on the OL, 2 at receiver, 2 on D and the 7th would be.....? A third national on D? A 4 receiver, 1 FB/TE set? My guess is that a 3 import OL means Leggett would lose his job to a Canadian. This would only work if Alexander is back healthy.

My guess is that a 3 import OL means Leggett would lose his job to a Canadian. This would only work if Alexander is back healthy. I hope not Leggett. I can think of Sherman starts over Sears (or Dunn), then Unamba will sit in favor of a backup Canadian (Alexander or Norris LB/DE?). So in summation... 7 Canadian starters are : Morley, Neufeld, Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Thomas, Sherman and Bucknor. 4 DIs are: Kuale, Sears/Dunn, Anderson and Woods

That would leave 2 nationals on the OL, 2 at receiver, 2 on D and the 7th would be.....? A third national on D? A 4 receiver, 1 FB/TE set? 3 NIs on defence. Basically a NI LB on at all times, and Thomas won't be able to sub out for a LB, cause that LB who's been replacing him will already be on. Unamba probably comes off. Dunn moves to DI.
Jpan85 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Doing that really limits the snaps that Wild and Kuale are going to get.
Goalie Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 It's also just day 1 really so who knows by friday, maybe tomorrow its swiston or goossen taking the reps, maybe morley is moved to guard and goossen goes to the centre position. Still pretty early.
JuranBoldenRules Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Doing that really limits the snaps that Wild and Kuale are going to get. Doesn't really change anything for them unless they decide to adjust the ratio there.
kelownabomberfan Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 It's also just day 1 really so who knows by friday, maybe tomorrow its swiston or goossen taking the reps, maybe morley is moved to guard and goossen goes to the centre position. Still pretty early. Yeah I was thinking that too. I just can't see messing with the Defence right now - especially with Goosen and Swiston around to play guard. If we can't start either of those guys, what's the point of them taking up a roster spot? I can see we're still developing Goosen but it's poop or get off the pot time with Swiston, if he is actually healthy (and if not healthy, then he should be on the IR).
Tracker Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 The type of defence that Etchevery has installed would seem to require that his players function as a very cohesive unit, so changing personnel around would be bad news.
M.O.A.B. Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Btw Mike, it's true there's a new player, a DB ? What's the name?
Floyd Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 Dan Federkeil looks like he's coming off the IR list - if Walters is trading, I would love to see the bombers pick him up. 30 years old is prime for an OL and he's an RT... would have to give up a 2nd rounder and maybe a prospect or ST but worth it If we are not trading, I don't see room for Peach to be activated on Calgary's roster...
Jpan85 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 The only reason Federkeil came to the CFL was he could play in Calgary since he is from Medicine Hat.
Floyd Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 The only reason Federkeil came to the CFL was he could play in Calgary since he is from Medicine Hat. Well, its better than being traded to Hamilton then...
rebusrankin Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 Is it more important to keep Willy healthy and does that mean 3 international OL or is it more important to have a stronger defense (the argument for 3 National OL)? Which switch hurts the team less?
gbill2004 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Posted July 8, 2014 Aside from winning the game, keeping Willy healthy is the number one priority every game.
Mike Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 The only reason Federkeil came to the CFL was he could play in Calgary since he is from Medicine Hat. Exactly. Federkeil makes Calgary more dangerous, gives them options with an import elsewhere.
Tracker Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 Maybe Federkeil coming off the IR makes Peach available. Regardless, Federkeil is very good and the rich get richer.
Fatty Liver Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 Is it more important to keep Willy healthy and does that mean 3 international OL or is it more important to have a stronger defense (the argument for 3 National OL)? Which switch hurts the team less? i still think the biggest danger to Willy comes from the blitz when the O-Line is outnumbered.so adding another Int. to the ratio is not going to solve that problem. Witnessed many times last year when a DB or LB ran outside of January untouched to get a clear shot on Max Hall. Not January's fault because at the time he was fully occupied with a D-Lineman and Will Ford was usually wandering around somewhere up field "workin' on his juke".
