The Banjo Bowl

[Pigskin]

The Bombers have to cleanup there penalties. Far to many missed tackles. OL has to better. We also have to get BO20 more touches. 24 yards rushing just not good enough.

Would be nice to get Kramdi back. Houston, Adams or Woods into the lineup.

Regardless of the result of the game last night, it's was probable we'd see changes for BB. Kramdi and Houston in particular would be good to see on the AR.

Hallett might be ready tor return to work on ST's etc.

I'm not sure what to think about Woods and Adams demoted. They may be done as Bombers. I've suggested adding Munier-Bailey instead of Weitz since he's a rush end type and would give us another defensive option.

If Schmekel is out, someone suggested we bring Kornelson back. I don't see that in the cards.

A lot of players have been demoted lately with no explanation at all, doesn't seem like performance related decisions as many have not been given much opportunity to play at all. Simply body shuffling to accommodate roster limits, ratio and injuries?

Given the poor pressure we got from the interior, I am perplexed as to why we sat Woods and Adams

Except Woods and Adams have been here since 2024 so they've had time to evaluate. It seems it was performance related.  Lack of pressure from the interior of our DL has been an issue all year.

Also noting that we've had ratio options to use either and improve the interior of the DL if we thought it would help.

Too early to tell whether Kramdi, Schmekel or Schoen can play.

I'd say Vanderpool should be on the AR and would be ok if it came at the cost of Ayers but don't think that happens. Woodbey probably gets bumped is Kramdi plays.

Every week someone wants Ayers out. I think the only way that happens is if he's injured.

[Pete]

Yeah thats because it seems an obvious choice
When you have an import kicker how does it make sense to use a di on a kick coverage specialist?
With the hits we have taken on quality cdns this year its even more baffling.

Ayers ain't coming out, agreed

If we get shore up the OL and get Brady going we will  by 7

Also got stop turning ball over so much

Every week someone wants to keep him for his work on ST's. While he does well with that, is it the best use of our DI's.

This week, we added Woodbey and he had 2 DT's, 1 ST and played many reps on defence starting with the 1st series. Ayers has ZERO DT's in 11 games.

Ayers did squat and I didn't notice him getting any reps on defence at all while a pure rookie essentially started.

Depending on who we have to replace due to injuries, who do you keep as a DI if it comes down to Woodbey or Ayers?

Also every week someone wants to keep Thomas a starter.

O'Shea loyalty, lack or better choices is debatable

Noting that we could add Vanterpool at the cost of Ayers. Is improving the OL a better option than having Ayers play 4 - 6 ST plays?

It's not rocket science. If he was a Canadian it wouldn't be an issue. As a DI it's a problem. 

It's been mentioned ( by me ) that we could eliminate Logan as an alternative. That would be especially true if we add Moore to replace Mitchell since he can also be used as a returner.

[Pete]

on another note, does anyone else think we should be using Wilson on short yardage rather than Strev.?
For instance rather than dropping back on a second and inches we could have Wilson faking up the middle and going wide or heaven forbid throw a pass. Wilson is much quicker off the ball and Strev no longer has the speed or seemingly the power anymore that he built his reputation on.
I've always liked Streveler but the hits have taken their toll on his body.

Agreed, Wilson is a far better short yardage QB at this point.  Why they are risking our #2 out there is just another head scratching coaching decision. 

Toss it in the pile.
