It would be nice to get Woodbey back and move Jones back to MLB and replace with Woodbey. Wilson to slow and invisible this year.
We also need to bring in another IMP receiver to take presser off our other two plus incase of injuries. Our Nat receiving core are not strong enough to relieve an IMP when and if an injury happens.
We have a lot of LBers playing so maybe remove Ayers (MOS) boy and it opens up a IMP spot.

Jones is the keystone of the defence IMO, he's playing at an all-star level making unscripted plays happen.  They moved him to WIL so he could better harass QB's and not get caught up in the wash taking on RB's, he's become a very effective playmaker.

That may be true but we're weak at MLB. Is Jones at MLB and Woodbey at WIL a better combination than our current configuration?

Or do we have another MLB to consider instead of Wilson? If the plan is to stick with the current alignment then getting Woodbey on the AR would be difficult. Not impossible but difficult.

I wonder how long it will take Dinwiddie to hook Maier and put in MBT. MBT is not great, but he's miles better than Maier. Maier is going nowhere, he's performing the same way he did in Calgary and is Sask as a backup, he's a backup Qb, not a starter.

[Tecno]

Ya, MBT will either win spectacularly, or lose spectacularly. There is rarely a middle ground. Maier will just lose mediocrely every game -- usually by starting to throw a lot of picks in the 4th.

I'd definitely take the guy who will at least get you some wins.

Dumb call to go for it on 3rd and 2 on your own half of the field, just gave them 3 points

[GOLDMEMBER]

Missed short yardage and now a terrible ST penalty. Not to sharp.

Brady is out of the game right now.

Again the soft coverage is apparent. Holm and 100 ft from his man.
