Same as last year with Cooley. It may come down to how well Peterson shows as a back up if Oliveria is injured for an extended period. In game replacement is one thing but does a longer injury force a ratio flip?

Maybe Taylor is the next Mack Herron? lol He's close in size and weight to Mini Mack.

He's also the opposite of Cooley. Cooley was big and slower, Taylor has hands and speed. ProbablY a PR player to start but a good Oliveira/ Vaval backup

And yet, somehow still better than last year.

3/4 artists became popular this century.

A reminder it's the year 2026.

true.

They'll have trouble selling seats to that rockin thunder thingy.

As much as I agree, that won't happen until they're mathematically eliminated from contention.

I'd have to think Cheveldayoff's making/taking calls and trying to get a lay of the land prior to trade deadline day (Mar. 6th). I expect tomorrow's line-up will look similar to last night's what with the roster freeze roughly 24 hours away.

I would like to see 70 back with 45 and 36 for tomorrow night.

[That gets Taylor up to 25 touches. And Brady "load management".]

Just came up with this on another thread... White can be a DNA, and when you put Taylor in, who cannot be a DNA, you designate White.  That gets Taylor up to 25 touches.  And Brady "load management". Without ratio issue.

100% chance of that not happening, Taylor is coming up to show he can play in the league, could be true but it won't be in Wpg.

Not for me, but hopefully it does well.

I know Motley Crue (pass) and Three Days Grace. This isn't for me, either, but I hope it's entertaining for those who do attend.

And we often sent 4, Tony Jones acting as a guy on the line, but we just weren't good at it, as you've mentioned.

And the team is clearly trying to address that. Younger's system is still going to be what it is, but hopefully Lawson/Ceresna make it work better.

If Younger wants to continue his 3 front line they should move to a 3-4 set with a different LB or DB coming on every play.  Mix it up like Noel Thorpe does, so the QB can never predict where pressure will come from.  Bombers had outstanding success rushing QB's with 3-4 sets back in the day.

Pressure should be priority #1 for any D-line. Unfortunately, this team has lacked the horses on said D-line to do that consistently in recent years. I'm not sure the system in place has/had any bearing on that.

Ceresna is a stellar addition to remedy that issue. I still wonder about the bookend opposite Jefferson, though.

At this point I think I would be sitting, 62 and 7, and being up some of our young Moose players.

We say that every year about a bunch of prospects. Oliveria is the starting RB and he's not going to see a bunch less reps barring injury. So having any import RB on the AR is counter productive. By definition it has to be a Canadian that might see some duty on ST's.  Oliveria is earning $290K this season and you can still only have 12 players on offence at one time.

Dream on.

If they did that they could start both Nield and Clercius and bring White in for Clercius shortly after, splitting reps depending on the blocking assignments.  I'd be surprised if O'Shea all of a sudden embraced this loophole.

The reason we avoided the loophole was for the extra draft pick... if we need to make the ratio adjustment to get a dynamic player on the field, screw the draft pick.

You can't make Taylor the DNA, but you can designate White the DNA when Taylor is on the field...  that gets Taylor 25 touches.
