Notables
- padless practice
- Wild practising with 2nd team
- Chungh practising with 2nd team
- Denmark present but not practising
- Bass present but not practising
- I didn't see Bond anywhere
- Hardrick shifted to LG
- Foketi at RT
- T. Flanders no reps with first team O or ST's - look for him to be moved off roster
- Fogg reps at dime and kick/punt
- Knox, Fogg and McDuffie all taking ST's reps..they're the likely DI's (other than Medlock)
- McDuffie and Fogg sharing kick return reps...punt reps to Fogg
- D. Adams all 1st team reps at X receiver
- T. Gurley reps with first team in place of Denmark
- B. Johnson all first team reps at field HB;
- Cole and Shologan got reps only with 2nd team...not with first team
- Green and Scott got first team reps on the D Line with Thomas and Corney rotating...look for Green and Scott to come on roster
- Hurl and Knox splitting reps at MLB
- Nichols one pick, and a few drops...other than that pretty efficient;
- Davis continues to get more reps than Glenn
- as has been the case for most of the last full days of practice during a week that I've observed, (after stretching) team starts with positional drills, red zone 0 and D and ST's

Here's how they lined up

DB's
- (Field) B. Johnson, Frederick
- (Safety) Loffler
- (Boundary) Heath, Randle

LB's
Burnett Hurl/Knox, Leggett
Hurl mostly in "cowboy" (on the DLine taking up a block) and on the field when we have 3 Ints on DLine...Knox rotates in when we're running 2 Int's on DLine, (ie Corney takes out Green or Thomas takes out P. Scott or Cummings)

DLine
Westerman P. Scott Cummings Green (Thomas and Corney rotating)

OLine
Bryant Hardrick Goosen Neufeld Foketi, (Couture extra O Lineman)

Receivers
D. Adams Dressler Smith Gurley Kohlert

RB's
Harris (Normand)

FYI: this is what I observed between 11:30 and 12:30

Is this good?

and thanks a lot for the observations

Looks like they'll be using this last game to take a second look at a couple of players for next year.  Has Padric Scott dressed this year?  Seems to me he was injured throughout T.C. and didn't play in an exhibition games.

So I am not the only one having a butt-pucker moment upon learning that Hurl is back in at MLB?

if having 3 Ints on the DLine produces more push, pressure, and closes off running lanes...then yes...but we all saw this "cowboy" D formation last year...it wasn't great...having said that we also ran more 3 - 4 at this practice than I've seen previously...one positive I suppose is that we will be giving Ottawa a different look on D this week...

I don't recall P. Scott even making the 46 man roster at all this year...definitely don't recall him dressing

Good to see we are having yet another look at Ryan Smith.....

Sounds like J Cole is upset via his IG. Judging by this practice report I'm guessing he's pr bound?

J. Cole is trash talking...the Bombers. 

Whatever the Bombers are doing with him, it's probably performance related...and his performance has not been related to good. Time to cut his asp.

Somebody want to post what he's saying?

Make it so, Mr. Crusher.

If they're planning on rostering P. Scott and Green...2 Ints have to come off the 46 man...I'm pretty sure Flanders will be one...I'm wondering if Cole was told he'd be moved off the roster and to the PR...missing out on a game cheque...

See you around, Bro

Hmmm ... someone not enamored with the Troika love-in party. Interesting.

Surprised no one is concerned about Bond being absent from practice. Anyone know what's going on there?

they had a picture of all the award players today, he was in the pic, so not sure what that is all about that he was missing

Not sure how I missed him...but I didn't see him.  He definitely wasn't practicing.  

Anybody knicked up is taking the week off to be ready for playoffs. Hoping it's not long term for him, anyhow. As mentioned in our practice reports thread, he wasn't in yesterday either. Hardrick to LT, Foketi to RT....

Bond got injured in practice yesterday. Not sure on his availability for the game this week.

I like the idea of having Gurley and Adams in at the same time but would much prefer having Gurley in over smith with Denmark starting.

We don't need both Smith and Dressler, too similar. Its one thing to have to big, physical receivers that are similar but two smurfs? Not so much.

Agreed. They can even dress Smith as a DI over Mcduffie. Just get him out of the starting lineup.

Denmark is hurt apparently as is Bass.
