Still think our best lineup would be Adams-Whitehead-Peterman-Wolitarsky/Bailey-Demski

Can't believe they haven't moved Woli to the inside yet - him and Peterman would be very hard to defend and provide very solid blocking

Win and in (when Ottawa loses)

Win and in (when Ottawa loses)

They got it wrong. Bombers are 9-3, Ottawa 3-9. If we win OR if Ottawa loses, we are in (technically, only a tie will do it). Do not need both to happen to clinch. (Calgary does require a win AND an Ottawa loss

For me Peterman has always been a player you just knew was/is a talented guy...biding his time waiting to get his shot and make the most of it..Has the same kind of tenacity and drive as Streveler and I don't see how you can keep him out of the line-up going down the stretch...Sure is nice to have that kind of depth and Mr. Clutch is certainly a good handle...

Hopefully we will/can rotate a steady dose of Demski/Woli/Peterman in varoius sets..keep them all fresh and also keep the defenses guessing and not sure what is being ran consistently

I would like to see us as well use a DI spot on Bailey, and roll with all-national DB depth/back-ups and enable us to rotate Bailey in with Whitehead and Lawler, we have played a good 5 games with no Import DB as a DI and with Jones, Wright, Exume and Hallett all on roster anyway I am sure we would be fine...especially once Jeffcoat gets back and our d-line pressure gets even better...I think more offensive weapons/options for Streveler benefit us more than an import DB as a DI who may not get many snaps anyway as Jones comes in a lot as the extra guy as it is anyway

That being said, Whitehead gets to both Wolitarsky targetted long balls if given the same route (if he gets through the initial jam).  Wolitarsky is not doing it for me this year as a pass-catcher.

In fairness to Woli, he is in a position that does not see a ton of balls thrown to it.

#Bombers RB Brady Oliveira, who has been out since Week 3 with an ankle injury, is doing some light running at practice today. Told me yesterday he hopes to be practising again in a few weeks. #CFL

Thats great news, also pretty surprising. I didnt expect to see him back before TC next year.

No different from last year yet he was able to put up 600+ yards.

The difference this year is that our best receivers are only going to hit 600+ yards...  we won't have anyone close to 1000

all our receivers this year are a victim of circumstance...it will be a tough task for any to surpass 600 yards this year...but if we keep winning I'm fine with that.

Woli has played just fine...had a couple bad drops...but over his 2 years here has made all his grabs...he also this year has done a great job with blocking, freeing up others..

Has a CFL team ever won a championship without at least one 1,000+ yard receiver? Just a curiosity.

Has Woli even had bad drops? Recently he's had to stretch out for some passes that were not exactly on the money and they've just beyond his grasp. Kind of reminds me of Lawler earlier this year. Woli will be fine

he's had one I'd consider a bad drop...another was not so much

He's had a few really noticeable ones this year, but I have a suspicion he's playing through injuries (not just the usual bumps and bruises...) and possibly injuries to one of his hands...

One bad drop went right into a defenders hands. But other then that, I can't remember any "bad" drops. He hasn't grabbed some very difficult ones but nothing I'd consider a straight up drop on his part.

Short answer is yes. Do you want the longer stats-filled version?

Ah right I remember that. Momentary lapse in concentration. Still, not at all concerned. We've seen how good Drew's hands are

I thought that deflected up in the air and a defender grabbed it - not a well placed throw iirc

Yeah I believe it was a bit behind him, but it kind of twisted his hands and popped out.

hell, the Bombers' last win in 1990 was without a 1000-yard receiver.  Rick House was our leader with 883 yards, if statscrew.com is to be trusted.

clicking around on statscrew, I see that James Murphy somehow got 1400 yards in 1988 ... man, that's some Stegall-level work considering the QBs we rolled out in 88.

Yes and that 1990 Bombers team had the best defense in the league - but had the LOWEST scoring offense in the league!!

In 1988, James Murphy somehow got 1400 yards ... pretty serious accomplishment given our QB crew that year.

Calgary did it last year and in 2014, both times without either a 1000 yard receiver or rusher.

The 2012 Tiger Cats are my favorite flipside example -- top scoring team in the league, finished last in the East because Casey Creehan's D was so so so so sooooo bad.

How many of our FA receivers will want to come back knowing our offense holds every pass catcher back? And how many from other teams will want to play here. That's my concern.
