Ayers, Woods or Adams

Ayers should come off. Basically only plays teams. DTonOB has charted it and its minimal snaps on D, only in short yardage. MOS likes wasting Dis though. See Damian Jackson.

MCI isn't getting much more action than Jackson did, kind of disappointed he hasn't been integrated into the offence more than he has.

No but at least he's a Canadian and not taking a spot for a DI. We're getting more votes in the poll now. Spread fairly evenly between the 3. OTOH, 12 to 4 for adding another DT instead of Ayers.

To clarify my point, I am fine with Canadians who only play teams. Its a waste of a DI spot though IMO.

The two situations are not similar imo. I believe the club is grooming Ayers to be a ST demon that might rotate on D.  The criticism of Jackson was overstated, he could do a few things for the club which kept him on the field.  He helped us rebound, have a good year and success in the post season.  Wasn't a waste but wasn't a big impact.  Many players like Ayers don't need to be heros, just consistent.  Ayers as expected is on sounds like.  Woods as I wanted is coming on too.  I am curious what else we do with the roster but I'm happy thus far.

Well, well and well. Kornelson, Person and Artopoeus moved to PR and Woods added to AR according to CFL.CA.  We had room to add Woods without moving Person so I'm not quite sure what else is about to happen. Who fills the extra import spot on the bingo card? Maybe Parker can play?

We have room for another Canadian ( Hallett or Cobb ) or a 2nd global which would be Bailey. I'd guess Bailey as a DE replacing Person but they didn't move him from the PR today, ditto for Cobb. So does that mean Hallett off of IR is returning?

It would be great to see Bailey and Woods in the lineup with a fair amount of rotation, maybe they're finally receiving their allotted game time opportunities.  Not a lot of new players jumping off the page this season, everybody getting their chance but impacts have been minor.

Ayers is an american taking up a DI spot. Outstanding Ster but no regular role on D. He's playing short yardage and DTonOB has discussed this before and he's playing 2-3 reps per game on D with no regular role. Woodby is a rookie and he's playing more of an actual role on D. Ayers last year actually did play some actual D reps so you have to ask why has he regressed in terms of actually getting reps on D in year 2?

Jackson is a great comparison. He played at most 10 reps on D and was used mainly as a blocker, something that an extra OL or a NI FB can do. He didn't do much on teams (no ST tackles). If anything he was a worse use of DI spot because Ayers at least is really good on teams. As for your comment about Jackson helping us rebound, he joined us in 2023, when we were coming of a 15-3 season with a close cup loss. We went 14-4 and had another close cup loss. So rebound from what?

We need to win tomorrow to stay ahead of the Lions. If the moves today result in a win, then all is good.

Got my seasons mixed up, rebound was a comment from last year as we had a bad start.  Thanks for clearing that up.  I don't see the comparison as Jackson was used in different scenarios and that's why he was in the lineup.  He was more a specialist (that would play different spots) where I see Ayers as a potential rotational player on D that we are developing.  Ayers will have a future in this league, Jackson only last the one year I believe.  Agree to disagree.

I don't see Ayers regressing, I see good team depth ahead of him.  Gotta wait your turn on this club.  I seen promise in Ayers last year.  There is a certain type off player that grinds on ST and then develops into a backup, rotational guy or starter.  This is what I believe Ayers is, which is a far cry from what Jackson ever was going to be.

Woodbey>Ayers imo.

I think folks didn't like Jackson in the lineup and now have similar feelings about Ayers and that's about as deep as the comparison goes imo.

Tomorrow, Blue.

LOL. I haven't had my morning coffee yet.

A guy getting less reps and opportunity on D in year 2 compared to year 1 is not getting groomed for a future role.

A victim of circumstance too. Our starting LBs have played every game.

That's wasn't true last year.

It's also probably true that he's not the next man up at any LB position.  That has to be J. Jones who actually got many defensive reps when he was on the AR.
