TrueBlue Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Sorry can't post as an image. Moving Capers to RT, Goosen starting at LG and Neufeld the 6th OL.
Westy Sucks Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Do we not have any other healthy receivers? No back ups dressed. I guess Troy S would be the guy but that's pretty risky there. Not that it really matters anyway as the season is most likely done for us.
Westy Sucks Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 And I really hope that Bastien isn't actually playing in the slot over Rory
Arnold_Palmer Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I don't understand how you can play a game without a back up receiver, but dress 9 linebackers... Westy Sucks and The Unknown Poster 2
HardCoreBlue Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Sorry can't post as an image. Moving Capers to RT, Goosen starting at LG and Neufeld the 6th OL. I know MOS and others think Brohm gives us the best chance if Nichols goes down but why not give Davis (or anyone else for that matter) some game experience if Nichols can't go, knowing we are sitting at 4 and10 hanging by a thread, a very thin thin thread. In other words, put Brohm out of his misery, put some one on the roster that has, potentially, a future with us and let training camp for some start early. And yes I want to win the next four games, make the playoffs and win the Grey Cup, but remarkably for me, I'm looking at our existing situation realistically and practically for longer term benefits.
Mike Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I don't understand how you can play a game without a back up receiver, but dress 9 linebackers... No kidding. Terrible roster management again and again. TBURGESS and rebusrankin 2
The Unknown Poster Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 What is the reason for dressing that many LB's? Do they all play special teams? They cant possibly cycle that many in and out do they? And even if they do, is it necessary? Or some sort of ingenious strategy? Legit curious...
M.O.A.B. Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I don't understand how you can play a game without a back up receiver, but dress 9 linebackers... Did anyone ever asked that to O'Shea on his weekly show?

And even if they do, is it necessary? Or some sort of ingenious strategy? Legit curious... Mostly special teams. In years passed those backup Canadian receivers that seem to be missing from this roster would play on teams and be backups in case of injury. (Unless your name was Jade Etienne) SPuDS 1
pigseye Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Carrying the extra import LB is really the issue, that spot could be better used elsewhere.
Fatty Liver Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I don't understand how you can play a game without a back up receiver, but dress 9 linebackers... Stoudermire, he's O'Shea's wild card.
rebusrankin Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 How poor is our scouting if they can't find an american reciever worth using instead of Bastien. Why use a spot on a backup, backup Imp like Burnett? TBURGESS and Bigblue204 2
IC Khari Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 In pro sports good player management sure can be the difference between wins and loses, like the Blue Jays last two games . We don't have that and thus we're 4 - 10.
Mr Dee Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Hey, if special teams and our defence can operate better with that infusion of LBs, I'm all for it. Who really cares if there is an imbalance as to LBs,....as long as the plays are made and the game is won.

Disagree. Ian Wild alone, is setting the pace, and practically defying anyone to be less productive. SPuDS 1
DR. CFL Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Call all those national LBs whatever you want basically they are ST players and have to be listed somewhere.
JuranBoldenRules Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Addison Richards still alive? I guess Stoudermire is the next guy in at receiver, or you go tight end all the time. Stoudermire is much better at defending pass routes than running them.
Mr Dee Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Winnipeg at BC - Game Notes - Season series on the line: And, obviously, our playoff spot. The Blue Bombers captured the first game in 2015 with 23-13 win over the Lions on Jul 30/15 on the strength of a 4-1 turnover advantage and a defence that held BC to just one TD drive despite 26 first downs. The Lions must therefore win this game by 11 points or more to take the season series via the tie-breaker. If the game ends up in a 10-point BC win, the situation would favour BC on the basis of a better divisional record. Jonathan Jennings: Threw 4 TD passes last week and became the 4th BC QB to ever do that in his first CFL season. Last week Edmonton at Winnipeg: The Bombers left 15 half points on the table in the final 37:55 of the game last week by missing FOUR field goals, a one-point convert (wide) and a two-point convert attempt (a 6-yard rushing loss). WPG Last week vs Edmonton: Despite missing several FG attempts, the Bombers offence really clicked against Edmonton over the final 30:42 of the game. After 5 straight two-and-outs to open the game, Winnipeg put together 314 yards offence in little more than half a game to close it creating 6 scoring opportunities (TD or FG attempt) in their last 7 drives. Last week Rene Paredes and Sean Whyte made game-winning, last play field goals clinching playoff spots for their club. The 2015 season has been the year of the game-winning FG, particularly when they have come in the final 3:00 of the game. BC’s Richie Leone has missed only once in the 4thr Quarter all season while Lirim Hajrullahu is 6-of-10 in the final 15:00 of games. Andrew Harris 100 yards: The Lions starting RB led the CFL in rushing as of Week #15 after gaining 100 yards on just 13 carries vs the Riders. It was his 11th career 100-yard game and third this season. In those 11 games, the Lions record is 9-2 – two of his 11 efforts of 100+ yards have come against Winnipeg while Edmonton has been the opponent three times. Matt Nichols 2nd half last week: Nichols went 14-of-20 for 239 yards and a TD pass in the second half alone last week. Nick Moore caught 4 of those 14 completions in the final 30:00 for 72 yards and a TD. Bo Lokombo: The Lions special team tackles leader ranks #2 in the CFL with 17 in 13 games. He has a current 8-game streak with at least one ST Tackle and 14 in total over that span. Ryan Phillips: The CFL’s active interceptions leader added his third of the season last week vs Saskatchewan and is now up to 43 for his career. He is now tied for #23 all-time and has made at least one in 11 consecutive seasons. BC’s 35-point last week: The Lions scored 20 points in the 3rd Quarter last week to pull ahead 40-5. That lead was the largest they have had in a game this year but not quite as big as the pair of 38-point margins they built in games in 2014. 5 games with Bryan Burnham & Lavelle Hawkins: The Lions receiving corps added Burnham back in 5 games ago and since then he has 18 catches for 244 yards and a TD. Three of BC’s 5 wins this year have come when Burnham has started. Hawkins has had an immediate impact as well and over his 5-game run he has 19 catches for 340 yards for 2 TDs. Nick Moore last 3 games: The ex-BC Lion has had 16 catches for 286 yards in his last three starts averaging 95.3 yards per game. That total has included his first 3 receptions of 30+ yards this season and 6 second down conversion catches. Lirim Hajrullahu: Last week missed 4-of-5 field goal attempts along with a 32-yard convert. He is the first CFL kicker to miss 4 FGAs in one game since Ottawa’s Brett Maher went 0-for-4 on Aug 2/14. After starting off with 17 made field goals in his first 20 attempts this season, Hajrullahu has made only 5-of-12 since his final attempt on Sep 6/15 vs Saskatchewan. Richie Leone: After starting off making 14-of-15 FG attempts this season, Leone has made 8 of his last 14 attempts. Last week however, he hit 4-of-5 tries in the 46-20 win over Saskatchewan. Darvin Adams: Has played in each of the last 5 games and over that span has had two games where he was targeted 10 times. In 40 targets he has 22 catches for 272 yards and a TD. Jamaal Westerman: The CFL’s sack leader has recorded 9 sacks in his last 8 games and been blanked just once. Troy Stoudermire: Over his first 4 games, Stoudermire averaged just 7.2 yards on 21 punt returns. Over his last 4 games, he has averaged 12.3 yards per attempt in part due to his career-long 78-yard TD return against Edmonton last week. He is now up to two career punt return touchdowns. Mic’heal Brooks: Was named one the CFL Shaw Top Performers of the Week for his two sack effort against the Riders. He also added an interception in a dominating performance. As Hall of Fame CFL reporter-analyst Lowell Ullrich has pointed out, all five sacks were by BC defensive linemen and none linebackers or other defenders. T.J. Lee: Over his last 4 games, lee has 26 tackles (3 more than Adam Bighill) to go along with 3 QB sacks. He now has 62 tackles this season, good for #7 in the CFL.
