Willis fined for hit on Collaros
I still maintain that Willis didn't hit Collaros in the head.

CBC's CFL Power Rankings Week 2
I don't know where I can disagree with these. I'd maybe have mix up the top 3 but that's all opinion at this point.

AFL ON TSN2 Right Now
Tim Cheatwood is an assistant coach for the Cleveland team. He actually came out of retirement in 2010 and played 4 years in the AFL. Wow.

I still think Greg Carr could earn a job in this league. NeverForgetGregCarr

Injury updates
Exactly. Federkeil makes Calgary more dangerous, gives them options with an import elsewhere.

Willis fined for hit on Collaros
Garbage.
-
Gavins fined for dirty hit on Drew Willy
Good. Epitome of a dirty, dangerous hit.

Injury updates
The bandwagon seems to have erupted ever since one or two people suggested he'd be worth a look. He's now MorningBigBlue.com's nominee for Most Outstanding Lineman 2014.

The Winnipeg Media
I'll bet this will surprise a lot of folks around here: http://www.winnipegsun.com/videos/1285558160001 I'm surprised, but not for the reason you probably think.

The Winnipeg Media
I don't mind the Debbie Downer stuff so much, it's hard to blame them for that. The other stuff though ... is it really too much to ask for a guy covering the CFL to 1) know the rules and 2) pay attention at practice

Andre Durie out 6-8 weeks
I don't blame them, Coombs looks awesome. Man I hope he comes home when his first contract is up.
-
Grigsby
More a "had to" than a "can do", because Thomas wouldn't be allowed to play on the OL wearing #95
-
Grigsby
He changed it after Greaves got hurt. It was just a generic jersey, didn't even have a name on it.

Riders Trade Dwight Anderson to Argos
For a conditional 2015 draft pick. Interesting move.
-
Bombers extend Thomas & Sherman
Love it.

Grigsby
I was in support of Woods using a spot because I figured he could be a valuable member of some of our offensive packages. If he isn't going to be used that way, it may be more effective to have Cotton in there. I'm curious to see what happens with Cotton now that he's going to be healthy.

Next weeks power rankings LOL
Honestly, I can't see much of a change from last week other than Hamilton. Last week's rankings 1. Calgary - didn't play, hard to adjust them based on the movement of other teams 2. Saskatchewan - got squashed, but by Toronto who is likely going to be referred to as a contender who had a bad day against us. Will maybe drop one spot. 3. Hamilton - will drop big time. 4. Toronto - will likely move up one or two based on their stomping of Saskatchewan 5. BC - will swap places with Montreal 6. Montreal - will swap places with BC 7. Edmonton - still undefeated 8. Winnipeg - Edmonton is still undefeated, why would we move up much if they don't 9. Ottawa - strong effort against Winnipeg not enough This week (imo) 1. Calgary 2. Toronto 3. Saskatchewan 4. Montreal 5. BC 6. Edmonton 7. Winnipeg 8. Hamilton 9. Ottawa

I don't ... I won't be surprised if he's not even the guy going forward. Too many fumble issues.

Andre Durie out 6-8 weeks
Broken collarbone after a tackle from Brian Peters in the game yesterday. Shitty for Durie and the Argos. I like Durie, he's an awesome story. Gotta wonder at 32 (33 later this month) though ... could this be it? Does Coombs take his job while he's out?
-
Grigsby
Why would you take Unamba off? He's been a special teams stud thus far.
-
Any updates on Willy's hand?
Good to see Sherman succeed but do you think he will develop into a starter? I see him more as a role player like Pontbriand, a great fill in that plays with enthusiasm and gusto and is a superstar on special teams. I think he falls somewhere in between those two. I don't think I'd like to see him starting, but I certainly think he's earning his defensive snaps out there. He's not a defensive liability.

Beyond the Box Score
Alright, week 2 here we go. Bombers are moving the chains a lot more than their opposition thus far. Through two games, Winnipeg has gained 51 first downs and opponents have only gained 36. Winnipeg has also done an awesome job of preventing their own lack of discipline from continuing drives. After two games, they've only handed out 2 first downs as a result of penalties. To get a sense of how much teams are avoiding Chris Randle - he has 1 tackle so far this year through two games. Teams are not interested in throwing against him and are feeling much safer throwing to the other corner - Matt Bucknor has 13 tackles. Chris Randle and Johnny Sears added a pass knockdown each last game - Randle now has more knockdowns (2) than tackles (1) Demond Washington joins Teague Sherman as the only Bombers with tackles for a loss. Net offense through 2 games - 794 yards. I'll have more later.
