Posted August 29, 201410 yr comment_77705 @PentonKirk 10m Jason Vega will be a healthy scratch this week, as Kashawn Fraser played well enough to stay in the lineup. #Bombers Not exactly a huge fan of Fraser myself and Vega is a pretty solid, multifaceted lineman .. a guy you can plug in any spot on the front 4 .. not sure how I feel about this one.
August 29, 201410 yr comment_77707 Vega isn't healthy and probably won't be for the rest of the season. They are trying to preserve him a bit. He's basically at the if he really needs to play, he can stage.
August 29, 201410 yr comment_77714 Calling Vega a healthy scratch... man oh man has Penton not been paying attention? Vega hasn't been healthy for a long time. What he should say is "Fraser played well enough we don't need to trot out a one legged Vega"

August 29, 201410 yr comment_77726 If it's turf toe he won't heal completely till the offseason Might need surgery.
August 29, 201410 yr comment_77735 Well, turf toe doesn't have the same cachet as rug burns on the knees, but what the heck. For the next two games, we need all the push we can against a very good O-line, so if Fraser gives us that, Vega can sell drinks at the Rum Hut. Regardless of who it is, it would be great to have a player the caliber of old #97 white mountain again.
August 29, 201410 yr comment_77738 Vega's injury might explain his lack of production. What about Bryant Turner, though? I think he's one guy who'd prolly fare better in a traditional DT role rather than Etch's "hopscotch" d where he sometimes covers guys out of the backfield and drops into intermediate coverage. NOT HIS FORTE! Guys is a bull-rusher who can also stand off all but the very strongest CFL o-linemen.

August 29, 201410 yr comment_77740 Turner is on pace for career highs in tackles and sacks and Nate is questioning him?
August 29, 201410 yr comment_77741 Turner is on pace for career highs in tackles and sacks and Nate is questioning him? In the bizarro world that is Nate, this actually makes sense...
August 30, 201410 yr comment_77793 I don't think Nate was criticizing. Just making an observation... You must be new here...
August 30, 201410 yr comment_77796 I still defy anyone to find footage of one of our DL dropping back into coverage this year...
August 30, 201410 yr comment_77855 Hope we sign Hall Exactly. We've been playing an injured Vega literally all season but we have no room for Hall? Better yet, I hope we sign Phillip Hunt if he gets cut today.
August 30, 201410 yr comment_77940 See the Chargers just cut Cordarro Law, wonder if he is headed back to the Stamps or if he will be available.
August 31, 201410 yr comment_78106 See the Chargers just cut Cordarro Law, wonder if he is headed back to the Stamps or if he will be available. Now that would be amazing.
August 31, 201410 yr comment_78109 Vega must be banged up a bit as he's typically a pretty solid player.
