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.

This guy better eat his wheaties sunday morning

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.

I'd put an asterisk next to healthy.

If it's turf toe he won't heal completely till the offseason

I think Fraser's been pretty good so far.

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"

MOS saw my 6-2 Fantaseh record and said "**** this guy..." and benched Savio. Thanks MOS.....

that 6-2 record is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Might need surgery.

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.

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.

I'd say he's more of a stunt and speed rusher than a bull rusher.

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...

I don't think Nate was criticizing. Just making an observation...

You must be new here...

I still defy anyone to find footage of one of our DL dropping back into coverage this year... 

Hope we sign Hall

I've had turf toe. Feels like your toe is broken. really sucks

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.

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.

How old would Hunt be now?

Vega must be banged up a bit as he's typically a pretty solid player.
