There are plenty of more interesting things to complain about!

Partially torn is a torn ACL. Did any of them say completely torn? Same thing. What was reported was that he had a torn ACL. Severity of the tear was not reported. What I do know is that you cannot rehab a torn ACL. It's impossible and Schoen was trying to rehab his after consulting with Couture about his options. Torn ACL has no options, it's surgery. So while I have nothing saying it was partially torn, you guys cannot point me to one single shred of evidence saying completely torn. Therefore, I will assume partially torn which you can rehab, and that our 23 year lead athletic therapist and one of the most respected athletic therapists in Canada knew his ****. You guys are literally accusing him of malpractice.

I completely agree with the bolded and was only responding to the notion that Couture be investigated for letting Schoen play. Until you want to give us something more tangible then a "horses mouth that cannot be named" I will choose to give Couture the benefit of the doubt. I'm not saying you are lying, or even that you are wrong, because I don't know for sure I am not the Bomber's lead athletic therapist. He would know, Schoen would know, the Bombers coaching staff would know. Everything else is 3rd/4th hand information and is not reliable. When we are making accusations about a 23 year athletic therapists professional conduct we should back it up by more than a "horses mouth". These are serious allegations. Sometimes as fans we want to **** on our team so bad when they are shitting on us that we can put innocent people in the crosshairs by slandering or libeling them. I am more likely to believe that this is the case here. I don't for one second think that our athletic therapist would have put his license on the line by clearing Schoen to play with a completely torn ACL.

Probably not, but when the team sucks, they should probably take advantage of every practice opportunity.

This was my only point... There's enough to complain about without becoming total lunatics.

Jesus Christ. I know the team sucks but do we really need to complain about the practice schedule.

Yea...but it wasn't grey areas or verbiage where you were being corrected.

Sms is fluid and been some deviations...and no...its not all black and white..and even some of the verbiage is gray af

Regardless...rostering a gimp isnt key to success and is dumb...why handicap your roster He won't provide any...and from what it's worth...let's just say I was rold torn...from the horses mouth...not partially...torn requiring surgery I won't say what horse...but will say several in the stable

Grant won 4 Grey Cups of the 6(?) he coached in his CFL career. Best ever Grey Cup record for a Bombers coach. He certainly deserves the statue. Interesting though, I was listening to some Minnesota fans question why Grant doesn’t merit the same (a statue) outside of US Bank Stadium. The common analysis seemed to be that while Bud was a great coach and led his team to 4 Super Bowls, his team losing all 4 seems to be the reason why it’s not been done yet, whether that’s true or not. Likewise, while Osh has 2 Grey Cups, there has been a considerable drop off in the team’s performance in Grey Cup games and now in the regular season. So much so that many here and possibly in the fan base seem to be calling for him and the management to be replaced as soon as the team can. Time will tell, but if the team starts to flounder next year and in the next few seasons (which to be fair is common in sports), there will definitely be a massive change in sentiment towards our current coach. I can’t see there being any momentum at all in that direction if that occurs.

My dude, you are the only one who is going against what is being reported. Let's see your evidence that it was partially torn. We have one tweet from Tait saying it was torn. We have a sound bite from O'Shea saying yeah he tore it in Calgary. Not one time has the word 'partial' been uttered in the media in regards to Schoen. It follows that we should probably trust the team when they say it was ... torn

Prove it. I've had one and rehabbed by way through it. I have not heard a single shred of legitimate evidence stating it was fully torn. You posted up a tweet by Ed Tait saying his ACL was torn. Guess what? A partial tear is also referred to as a torn ACL. When I had my partial tear the doctor told me I was lucky it was not fully torn because that would require immediate surgery before the ends of the ligament shorten. So, the bullcrap you guys are trying to sell is that Alain Couture in his 23rd year with the Bombers and widely regarded as one of the best athletic therapists in his field, either misdiagnosed Schoen or committed medical malpractice by letting him play on a fully torn ACL. Contrary to the BS that you guys are selling Alain has final say on whether a player plays or not. Not MOS, not the player themselves decides that. Alain Couture is entering his 23rd season with the Winnipeg Football Club in 2025, overseeing the health and well-being of every player on the roster. Couture provides constant updates to the head coach on the health status of every player, and ultimately has the final say on whether they can return to the field after being injured.

Before you trash Noeller about what he can find on the internet you should remember it as well Booch. In the past, you have been corrected many times in regards to the SMS and how it applies. That being said, yea they could practice and should have.

when you have the "" its moot....you know what's required....no need for extra work yup....they will see the errors....maybe now they will see the talent...or lack there of @Noeller can he join the mob now? I was gonna post they could have but glad someone else did for if anything just to not have to see you comment... slsp on an emoji of eye toll....laugh ....the usual stuff you do And maybe think before you speak too....internet is your friend as well and even the most casual fan could have found out the truth we also have a history with extra days off too with osh...

ring of honour sure....no doubt....as soon as he can be eligible Statue....i dunno...Bud Grant was a totally different cat

nobody on the bombers had a partially torn acl this or last yr I not sure why you are so hung up on that

Sort of. You have high ceiling vs high floor guys, and guys like Dru brown will always take polishing before they produce. But High floor guys do exist and are findable. Shea patterson came into the league in 21 and broke out in 24, dolegala was in one year and broke out the next. So they didn't just walk in and produce, but strev has to be able to produce. The mafia has become the Sultans of Stink. Decent, is a very long way from good. We ran a fast passing game back then with a balanced run attack, which helps the OL. Glenn, also had a fast release and elite ability to get the ball out when pressured (shovels, couple alley oops, changing arm angles, once even threw the ball with his off hand.) and blink was very similar. He was constantly met in the back field then would slip out and gain 5-7 yards. That is the most over rated OL in our history imo. They had every thing tailored to them and weren't dominant.

You had a partially torn ACL and they replaced your knee? You should have gotten a 2nd opinion

I have disagree about the OL when Glenn was the QB. Those lines were decent: Goodspeed, Gauthier, Khan/Picard, Sheridan, Greene, Labatte

Nah....give the man his statute...the O'Shea ammendment

This were the rules prior to 2019, not sure if there have been any changes; The CBA prior to the current 2019 agreement stipulated the following for regular season practices: Practice times and meetings must not exceed 4.5 hours in duration in a single day. When there are six or more days between games, players are required to have one day off between games without practices or meetings When there are five or less days between games, all practices that week shall not be in full gear but in sweats, shoulder pads, and helmets only.

Yup, but I am pretty sure they would be allowed to practice according to the CBA as they already had 2 days off after the prior game.

and they won both their games....one week to go til preseason

There will be no meaningful changes, so the practice schedule is really irrelevant. It’s not like we’ll be adding in new wrinkles or tweaking some schemes. No need…. The issues are easily fixable. And roster changes? Nope. See above. All good.

I don't know what his stats are but Demski continues to impress/produce
