Im assuming you mean that Thomas, Bighill and Alexander will be back? Can’t imagine we’re complaining about Bryant and Jefferson who have been the teams best players in their respective groups. ——-/////// At least we won’t be facing Trevor Harris on labor day or banjo bowl. We need to get at least a couple wins before then for it to matter.

They're between a rock and a hard place here. Now that we're 0 and 4 they feel like we have to get desperate. Personally it would have been better to wait and have more money to spend on NFL cuts like potentially Mack. But if they don't start winning games now no NFL cut is going to want to sign with a team that has a limit chance of making the playoffs. Im not even sure if Lucky has anything to add to a CFL team at this stage. Im only ok with this if he was given at or near rookie money and no gaurentee of starting. I agree with you here. Kramdi is not an example of bad Canadian talent. The issue on this team isn't Canadain talent it more our lack of young American talent. We started 10 Canadians yesterday. I wouldn't want to lose his youtube content.

What do you mean by "The same show"? I don't think any changes would be made to the coaching staff or the quarterback position. But certainly there would be a lot of player movement.

Not impressed if we are spending money on Lucky Whitehead but i guess we are desperate at this point. I thoughtJosh Johnson and Wilson got activated in the 4th quarter. Not sure why we are signing him.. Can he rush the passer or block?

Im not sure that Cody's running ability has historically been enough to overcome a mediocre offensive line. I would imagine with Zach's superior passing ability the Montreal offensive line would like just fine.

It remains to be seen how different the offensive line looks when they Bombers have a healthy BO in there for a full game pounding the rock. I think that the pass block could be a lot better when teams are focused again on shutting down BO.

I thought he was out all pre-season and he's currently not practicing with a hip.

More Favouritism.. Essentially im just as perplexed as anyone. The guy should be playing.

My only explanation outside of favouritism that Tui isn't starting right now is that he's not 100% and they are leaving him in a limited role so his injury doesn't get worse.

The data from Pro Football Focus seems to backup the sentiment about Loften. Despite giving up that sack on the first passing play of the game he was out top ranked offensive lineman last week. We don't know his actual grade but he was the only one not to make the list of lineman with failing grades among our starters. In limited action Tui was elite! Highlighted in red are the lineman who have a season average below 60 which is a failing grade. This pretty much all lines up with the general evaluation from those of us on the message board. 8. WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS (NO CHANGE) LT Stanley Bryant LG Liam Dobson C Chris Kolankowski RG Patrick Neufeld RT Eric Lofton • Despite teams' struggles above them, the Blue Bombers failed to climb the rankings. Four of their five starters failed to make a positive impact last week, with Bryant (58.5), Dobson (57.5), Kolankowski (55.0) and Neufeld (53.8) posting sub-59.0 PFF overall grades. • The Bombers' top-performing offensive lineman was sixth man Asotui Eli. He played 19 snaps last week, earning an 88.1 overall grade and an 81.7 run-blocking grade.

It looks like Jeremy Murphy is head of Kevens Clercius for this week's game. It sort of begs the question of why Clercius is the one on the roster for previous games over Murphy if Murphy is the guy who's going to get the start this week.

I remember a few years back when Calgary was still a dominant team. They had a rash of vetern receivers getting hurt but seamingly every receiver they added to the roster from their practice roster could instantly perform. Michel, Begalton, Brescasin. And guys that were role players like DaVaris Daniels did well in expanded roles. This is what you expect for a model franchise.

With the number of Canadians we are playing this week all I can say is I hope we’re playing Brazil.

Sounds like our focus this week is to lock in that extra 2nd round pick for next year.

Still 5 years old confirmed!

Im more focused now on Lawler than Scheon. How many weeks were we expecting Lawler to be out for?

Alston was with the bombers for a chunk of last season and was let go in training camp because he got hurt. Now he's healthy.

@EdTaitWFC - Nichols is back at work for the @Wpg_BlueBombers @EdTaitWFC - No sign of Dalton Schoen at @Wpg_BlueBombers practice. He was on crutches after the game Friday. Keric Wheatfall is here, but not practising

I would assume that Mitchell and Johnson would come on for Wheatfall and Scheon if they aren't in the lineup. Alston seems like a "What if" type of pickup up. A guy who already knows the offence who could potentially be in the lineup this week if we had somebody go down in practice.

Yet we just needed Zach and Demski to connect on one of the easier plays of the day. ---------------------------------------- The positives from the game for those who are ready.... After the first passing play of the game we gave up zero sacks. Zach had a normal amount of time back there to throw and he looked pretty good. Chris Smith is an upgrade over Mitchell. Had a nice return erased by a penalty but certainly has provided some hope for the return game going forward. 3. It's a long season.

There's quite a few washed up vets still out there who were on teams last season. Ellingson and Duke Williams come to mind. I'm not sure there's a lot of value out there. Let's just use this season to find young talent so we have a shot next season when we host. TSN has already awarded BC the title anyways.

Don't forget Streveler

Welll err.. Had he not overthrown Demski there.... Wheatfall i think also out long term.

I could of sworn is was our younger guys not producing. Jefferson being doubled on every down. The young guys with easy assignments needs to be taking advantage of that.

It might need to be the norm now that’s we’ve run out of receivers.
