Jeremiah Masoli did not practice today. June Jones says he’s dealing with a “bum knee? but expects him to be out there tomorrow. Tasker held out today as well. #Ticats#CFL
“I don’t want to be second guessed for sitting him if we lose the playoff game…so i’ll take the Patriots approach and have him show up on the injury report with a random injury.”
Drain the knee, give him a shot of cortisone, put him in a brace and have him hold the clip board on Saturday. IMO without Mazoli our chances in the ESF are nil. Give the Manzelites a day of glory, save Jeremiah for the semi-final.
I’d like to see the Ticats use a two RB backfield against Montreal as a test run for possibly using the same system against BC. Green and White, Timmis or Thomas Erlington, or a combination of all 4, rotating in and out.
I don’t think we can beat BC if we rely too much on our passing game. We just don’t have the personnel, receiver-wise.
I guess the question might become do you want to see a “pre-season game? line-up for a meaningless game on Nov 3, or for the semi-final on Nov 11? If Breaux, Tasker, Mathews and Mazoli are banged up, I’d rather see them rested on the 3rd, and playing on the 11th.
Masoli is only a few yards behind Reilly. I wonder if Jones will let him play to possibly overtake Reilly as the CFL passing leader? Of course it sounds foolish to gamble a possible Grey Cup for the CFL passing crown. But you never know what’s in the head of Jones.
