Logan on for say Ayers would make sense and could be a boost to both the return game and the offense. If Lawson is back, do they go Lawson, Schmekel and Jake or take one off (cough JAKE cough)?

Saw a pic on FB and Schoen practicing with a large bulky brace on his knee... For what that's worth.

No changes to the starters:

Whoever complains about the McDs soft serve machine breaking often probably never went to Neon come I can't wait for the rolled up place to open so I'll have an alternative option

I wonder if we take a DI Lber off the AR for Logan, and carry both he and Vaval. Logan would be the 2nd return guy on Kick offs and could be a rotational piece on O. Atleast in theory any way. Don't really want to see Schoen back till he is at what ever his new 100% is.

I’m a bit surprised he’s back practicing. Could be a real nice boost to the offense…. If he’s actually 100%.

Doesn't appear to be any injured Bomber players from the Ottawa game. Lawson should be back in for Thursdays game. Logan looks to be an option as he's practicing.

Yeah, I agree with most of that. I think most teams, when they have MBT starting, are in a position they don't want to be in. With his combination of age, experience and what I've seen of his intangibles, I don't think he will be a lot more than what we have seen from him between edmonton and toronto. If you can really cook up an offence around him that deals with his deficiencies, you can have a productive offence. But he nor that O will be what carries you to wins. I would still be happy if we worked a trade for him with strevy. I like strevy, but I think our room needs a shake up and I don't think he has a chance with the disciples of lapo here. MBT on the other hand did his best work with jackson. They might be trying to hide him in order to protect some value in a trade, more than the money. Despite the spreading out of starters and back ups, we've seen a ton of QB injuries and some one is likely to over pay out of need later in the year. It sucks about Alexander, this could've been a big year for him. The league needs guys like that to suceed.

They still have to pay the dude, it just hides the cap so they can pay other dudes as well... and if he comes back they'd have to pay both of them. I'd be curious if someone like MBT who was so outspoken about players well-being last year in regards to quick turnarounds for games would be quiet about landing on an extended IR with a phantom ailment.

Might be back for Labour Day

Well, I wouldn't blame them for no longer wanting to start him It was quite noticeable in his last start, that he gets confused when a D shows different looks Throws a nice ball, but can't read a D very well

I am not sure what to expect from this game. Bombers need to not look past this game to Labour Day.

We should bring Patterson back to block them, and maybe shake things up. LOL.... /cry The Qb room is such a mess. Nah

We use Schmekel in the heavy set OL package without the 7th OL on the Roster. Then we also have MCI, and a bunch of tweener size guys to pick from. We don't need more size / extra Ol on the roster. And eli wasn't getting manhandled lol. Eli and Schmekel played really well in their heavy set pack. At this point, we are drastically better off dressing Schmekel, than Vibert.

Like you weren't headed there anyways and have nothing to lose. There are persistent rumours out of the Big Smoke that Kelly is not responding to treatment and may be done for the year or longer. Or maybe he is just malingering- who knows?

I believe he is still making an impact as teams need to key in on him. This has allowed White (10th in receiving) and Smith (12th) to contribute as well.

YEAH of any of our oline guys he is the last one being manhandled

MBT could be removed from the 6 game but this is Herb's thoughts:

Eli and hes getting manhandled???

I can’t see how the O line could run out of steam with how many 2 and outs we have. They should be well rested.

The offensive line ran out of steam in the 4th qtr. team are using 8-9 dl ,no wonder they were in tough in qtr 4. Ly we had 2 backups Eli and wallace now its just Eli and hes getting manhandled We need to roster one more.

In my opinion, that is still to be determined. There were plenty of good catches last week, as well taking hellacious hits to make plays Ottawa might not have the best secondary, but they do play with aggression

Cash stash.

At least with Houston back we are replacing a couple guys that were being over aggressive looking for picks with...oh....oh no....
