I feel like I'd much rather have an extra american receiver than another LB.

Another import receiver would be a part timer and would have to share reps with Daniels and MCI who are more critical for blocking.  Also lose a member of ST which I think both Cobb and Corcoran play.

lol. How many reps are all these LBs getting?

Just a reminder for people attending the game about the heat. Be sure to drink plenty of beer to stay hydrated. Think of your health first, people

That is all

Who knows. Maybe JY has a very specific play for each one. I also don't really understand it.

For example, Tim White has been in the league more than 5 years so if we wanted to we could make him the designated nationalized American, Cobb/Corky as the designated national - that would allow White to sub for a Canadian for 25 plays, which would essentially allow (if we had rostered) Singer, on the field for 25 plays without any other changes. It would be nice to have the in-game depth and to run with 3 Americans at receiver for about half the game (since you get about 50-55 plays on offense usually)

The plus side is if White or Pokey go down you still have one more American receiver.

To me it makes more sense than another linebacker but whatever.

Get rotated and play teams, we need to stop em on D and hopefully this will help

we did it last year so we shouldn't be surprised when we see it now. boggles my mind. get Singer on the field somehow - it's possible but we insist on a bloated and mediocre LB crew

Our LB crew is above average

Tough call, trust the mafia

These reps will pay dividends down the road im

Our defense has found incredible success for almost a decade by rotation and developing some of the best LB depth in the league.  Easy to rag on it but if it continues to bring success I don't mind it.  Tall order tomorrow.  Its hot and fresh meat 🍖 might help 4th Q.  LETS GO BOMBERS

time for downtown dru brown to shine

It will be understandable if DB is slow starting off as he didn't get any meaningful reps in Ottawa this season, so there will be a certain amount of rust as well, with a new offensive personnel, but he will succeed, its the defensive secondary vs Kelly passing that I fear the most, they'll put up 30 points, but can we?? And ditto on getting Singer on the field, we need more play makers on offense, and he's a playmaker

If we had decent scouts they should be able to find a bigger American like Bailey who can actually block and catch.

Daniels seems to be a decent blocker and can catch, not burner speed bot offers a checkdown option for our offense, prefer having him in the game vs a 6th O lineman who isn't a catching threat at all.

We have good scouts who will improve once they get more experience

Some great points, good summary and well written

Loved Jovon, both as a DB and a returner. Sorry I am sitting behind the bombers bench on the west side, and not the Argos so I could shout out to him. Or will they switch benches since Argos are the home team? A bit confusing.
