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

Option 1A and Option 1B cannot both be always "one hit" away from being compromised which then results in sub par performance. I could not understand why this season they would use Strev as a "battering ram" or run short yardage when Wilson is healthy and helllllllluva better at short yardage. Our o-line is not great, but we've had games where the QB has had time to throw and they end up holding onto the ball and/or tossing it into triple coverage. In the old days, Glenn played behind some poop o-lines but his ability to take two steps back and rifle the ball out made a huge difference in negating the rush. With Zach + Strev it feels like they must roll out and need several seconds for a play to generate only for Zach to toss it into triple coverage or Strev dumping it down for a 6 yard pass. We used to carve up teams with quick strikes where a Demski / Lawler / Schoen would catch the ball 12 yards out in stride and then gain the extra 5 - 15 yards. It's part of the combo of why we are limping badly this year. My order of issues would be 1 - OC 2 - QB play 3 - O-line I don't think the receivers are a huge problem and clearly Brady is the only one playing at an all star level.

Ottawa’s defense is not good… is it as bad as our O? Guess we’ll find out. Our defense facing Crum will try to mesmerize and stun him with 9 in coverage… which might work for a series or two, until he remembers to look for a DL featuring JT/Korn, gassed WJ and Vaughters… He will simply gash them at will, and with little to worry about regarding consequences.

Echols will go in at the very end of the season or when injuries force him to play. At no point will they give him a shot to see if he can shine.

not a game, not a game… we talking bout practice It isn’t. and on top of that we do little more than theatrical walk throughs. It’s possible to make the most of of them, though not easy. so we just dont worry about it.

Kilam should have gotten his coach under control. Dinwiddie should have acted like a grown up.

Ottawa will be interesting. Crum has played well in the last two games. Curious if Zach is back or we see Streveler again. I would like to see Echols for Mitchell.

*There ...and our problems start with the OL and get worse from there. Yes, Strev has been bad... His knee is absolutely not right. But he, as with Zach, don't have enough to work with.

Don't join that mob.... The PA has rules about practice time.

Ahhh that's fair. I just feel like MBB has devolved into a place where people encourage their coaches acting like lunatics because it's anti-Osh.... Let's not allow ourselves to get to that point, regardless of what the Bombers are doing on the field.
