Posted September 17, 201311 yr comment_21914 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 9m Cauchy Muamba's status (ankle) will be determined tomorrow. If he is out, Jovon Johnson moves to safety, Marty Markett to corner. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 8m Glenn January (ankle) saw doctors today. His status has yet to be determined. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 7m Chad Simpson (foot) is out this week. Was planned to practice, but complained of pain in his troublesome foot. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 7m Shannon Boatman is out this week. Burke says he's been playing through pain for weeks and his injury is "everything." #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 6m Cory Watson (ham) is out this week, as is OL Marc Parenteau (neck) who took a shot from behind in Edmonton. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 5m DL Mathieu Boulay (ham) is out this week. Terrence Edwards and Carl Volny both took maintenance days today, but should play Friday. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 3m If Cauchy Muamba ends up missing this week, #Bombers will have to start either two Cdn. LBs (H.Muamba/Labbe) or a Cdn. DL (Jake Thomas). Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 1h Max Hall confirms he has been told he will start on Friday night. #Bombers
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21916 I'd prefer to start Thomas at DT rather than have Labbe in. Maybe in rotation.
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21930 I'd prefer to start Thomas at DT rather than have Labbe in. Maybe in rotation. agree with that.... or start 3 NI receivers
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21936 We suck either way. Volny can at least block someone in the pass game. Ford is 50-50.
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21938 Boatman is upper body (slow reaction time), mid-body (no bend in the hips) and lower body (no foot speed).
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21947 Too many injuries. I'd rather they start Thomas at DT for the ratio or Thomas at DT and Volny at rb in a rotation. Don't want to NI LBs
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21948 Prefer just about any lineup, that doesn't include Cauchy Muamba......this guy is simply the defensive equivalent.....of Brock Ralph.
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21949 Wow, we will get destroyed with Labbe-Muamba as WIL-MLB... I'd take 3 NI receivers... activate Carter - Kohlert-Foster-Carter-Etienne... that works But honestly, is Dan West (and I wanted him cut last year...) any worse than Cauchy...? Throw Teague Sherman in there for experience... who knows? Starting Labbe should really get Burke canned. Maybe that's what he wants now... a fresh start as Ottawa's DC.

That's kind of an ignorant take. Starting a guy who's arguably a top 5 NI LB in the league is a disaster, but starting a guy who was a hardly above average CIS DB at safety is a good idea?

September 17, 201311 yr comment_21971 DOD, What's the defensive equivilant of the Jet Package? Casey Creehans zone coverage.
September 17, 201311 yr comment_21987 Too many players feeling sorry for themselves and thinking they can hide out on the IR.

I am assuming that you misread and are not referring to Labbe as a top five NI LB... This isn't a witchunt for Labbe... its just that we already went down this road in 2011 and it cost us dearly. He is just too slow, that's the way it goes...

He is just too slow, that's the way it goes... He wasn't too slow tracking down a guy and forcing a fumble in Banjo Bowl. Labbe might not be as good as Muamba, but that's no slight. He's still a damn good player who can get the job done. To say that he "cost us dearly" is absurd.

He's still a damn good player who can get the job done. To say that he "cost us dearly" is absurd. He was tracking down the guy after he whiffed on his first tackle... watch the replay. And if you think playing Labbe at MLB/OLB didn't cost us dearly late in 2011... well, I guess that's a difference of opinion.

He is just too slow, that's the way it goes... Name 5 NI LB's who are better defenders than Labbe. Emry, Muamba, Pottinger and Yurichuk? Maybe. Brouillette? As a DB/SAM, ya. Hurl? Can't play D yet. Plesius? Probably too fat to play LB in the CFL.

Plesius? Probably too fat to play LB in the CFL. With Butler playing LB now you can put him in the 5. That's a hybrid spot though, he doesn't really play in the box, essentially a nickelback or roving safety. He'd be comparable to Brouillette. DB's.
September 18, 201311 yr comment_22006 Ah, we're classifying Butler and Brouillette as DBs then... Well, that definitely helps Labbe's chances... on the other hand, Emry, Muamba, Pottinger, McCollough, Yurichuk are better... Black, Carter, etc - they are more along Labbe's level, Tristan Black is probably better though

Black, Carter, etc - they are more along Labbe's level, Tristan Black is probably better though It's splitting hairs really as 1/3 (or more) of the LBs in the league are converted DBs ..

Well, that definitely helps Labbe's chances... on the other hand, Emry, Muamba, Pottinger, McCollough, Yurichuk are better... Black, Carter, etc - they are more along Labbe's level, Tristan Black is probably better though Carter and Black don't play defence. McCullough couldn't even hold a gap last week when the Argos ran the ball down their throats in the 4th quarter. Don't apply for a scouting job with the Bombers this off-season please!
