Checking out practice today, it's my guess that Adams will be playing on Friday. He's rotating in alot with the 1s.

Bombers can clinch a playoff spot with a win Friday night. Who could have imagined 6 weeks ago at 2-6 that would be the outcome right now. Pretty amazing.

Betcha O’Day already sent this guy’s agent an offer 😏

They can have the yards. Just like Harris... lots of yards, not a lot of points.

Didn't he do that 5 years ago when he interviewed Keith Urban?

Bring the heat on MBT if he starts...right from the first snap...The Elks will not have game planned for it and when they try and adjust then roll 30 fronts at them and a Jack that may spy...may come With Wilson re-injured...and apparently something new....wonder who gets on board to fill the missing spot we played without Another DB would be pointless....we have essentially 11 dressed....And for what Griffen has been doing....in case of an in game injury he can cover..SAM...any DB spot and WIL as well and from the bulk of the season I would have him right up there as one of our more valuable defenders this yr...He allows us to do so much and is excellent tackler And with Ayers and Jones showing nice chemistry out there please roster another import Dline guy to if not for anything see what it can create

Also, go give lapo some likes and subs on YT! He needs support for all this work he’s putting in!

The team must have read all the well reasoned arguments for this on the board last week. Would be nice if Cole is good to go for Wilson too.

Not a ton on here, due to so many on the 6 Game...

I just don’t understand the need for HC’s to announce this to the world. Most times they obviously know whose starting well in advance of the next game but any advantage small or large to help hamper the other team in preparing, take it.

Lapo shows JY's match coverage in action against the Elks... trading pass rushers for spies and blanket downfield coverage. Our DBs basically have a power play in this scheme.

i agree....not a very knowledgeable fan base We have our differing opinions here, and bickering....but it's not a bunch of pointless nonesense and fabricated B.S

Thanks for the necro bump. Nice memories. Go blue!

I was having a rough morning, and looked past my desk monitor where I keep my framed picture of me after the Grey Cup. I have my ticket, a picture of the pre game with the fireworks during the anthem, a couple action shots I photoshopped in, and me with the celebration on the field in the background. I had the wherewithal to grab some confetti off the turf and have it in my frame. It really was the best night of my life and still makes me overjoyed to think of that night in Calgary. Sorry for the necro bump.

Just read his Wiki.. he was already signed by the Riders but was released before playing a game for them last year so maybe they'll bring him back. He went to the indoor league after the Riders released him but got suspended after going into the crowd to confront a fan. Chris Jones said that's my kind of guy and signed him to the L's.

we were one short last game....so nobody would need to come off for Cole

https://www.cfl.ca/transactions/ - Some movement today. OL Randolph to PR / DT Adams to GR

Randolph moved to PR Adams activated

The part about switching off spies is good, even though it didn’t work in our favour on that play. A couple of the big keys to making it work include the deep guys keeping every thing in front of them, the wall and flat guys making good decisions and every one rallying to the ball. Also the one guy who gets left playing man up on the corner is often bond who has been exceptional at it. The deep guys have done a much better job keeping it all in front of them, especially ba. He catches a lot of flak, deservedly so, for his awful tackling last year and this, but he’s got it back in terms of coverage. Nichols is great at any thing we ask him to do. Holm struggled early but has improved a lot at decision making. Last year he used his athleticism to get back into plays and cover up mistakes. If he can start using it to make plays with in the system he could become elite. Jones and Ayer’s have much to learn, but are using their tools to make plays in the middle that we haven’t seen in a good while. If they can be more sound in the run game vs blocking we are gonna be scary.

Ancestors in the PAS.

I'm not so sure. He's putting his stamp on this D, but I think there's still a perspective that he's learning on the job, inherited a great defense, and still has Hall around.

No no no no no. Trickle down economics my friend (patting you on your lower to middle class head).

we're basically also doing the same thing to Jake... but for different reasons 😉

Cole was extended on the 6-game too so who knows. Pretty clear now it is time to move on from Biggie and Wilson. Can't stay healthy and age is undefeated.

maybe we will play 1 short again cause we won???....LOL....thats at times the mentality here...we won...so all good...even tho that was a huge gaff Darn good thing we didnt lose a Jones or Ayers and a DL like WJ or Woods...we woulda been sooo screwed

You accidentally gave him an eye roll! My two replica rings sit next to my desk at home. Let's get another!

Ok so got my tickets for the game on Friday. Sounds like it's going to be close to a full house! MBT is going to be hearing more than the voices of his ancestors ringing in his ears on Friday!

Accountability.

This free agency...we need to target the best DE and the best impact LB...no questions asked. Then a legit Canadian Oline guy if we don't swing a trade for one....all preferably 28 or under

DT says Brian Cole back practicing after missing the last 7. Not sure if he'll get back on this week, but they're working him back in...

I understand the Bombers had issues tackling on those long runs but I am not as concerned as some others are with the defence. Sure they gave up a lot of running yards but it's not like rushing yards are worth more to a team than passing yards. Does it matter if a team gives up rushing yards if they keep the other team off the scoreboard?

....which brings me to the point that Jordan Younger gets a HC offer before Buck ever gets another sniff. Maybe not next season, but soon.

Watched Lapo's defensive breakdowns this morning. That was about the only screw up he found ,in what he called a spectacular defensive effort. I wouldn't call it that ,exactly ,not after giving up all those yards on the ground.

lost in all that...should have been a 2 on 1 fight as Ford effed up and bit on the play action...and let his man go free...It wasn't really per say BA's main responsibilty...he was over top coverage/help....but he totally biffed it...and then Ford biffed the tackle as he came back to try and fix his oopsie daisy

Regarding Wilson, guy looked so good at times, but I fear it is time to move on.....sad but his body just doesn't seem to able to hold-up..... We will need someone to replace his roster spot, an American spot, one would assume it would be an American along the D-line, Lucky was laboring a fair bit last game especially late in the game, his speed is his best attribute and whatever ailment he has is def. affecting his speed. He still has had good ball security, but I would love to see him be able to play full speed.... I don't think we had any serious injuries, and I don't think anyone really stood out in a bad way...so I would expect almost the same roster this week.....A D-lineman for Wilson especially if MBT is announced as the starter, and possibly Case for Lucky if Lucky did up his injury late last game....barring any surprises that would seem the most likely all...

They did say it was unrelated to his previous injury but they also immediately put him back on the 6 game list. Pure speculation but I get the feeling it must have been pretty severe and obvious for them to that so quickly. If it was minor, they could have just scratched him for the game and took another look in a couple days before making any determinations. They can obviously still do that & pull him from the 6 game list early but that part caught my eye and got me wondering.

still tho....not having any options available....for just that....is poor

I think that was just bad luck. By all accounts they were expecting Wilson to play and he got hurt during warm ups. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

You can’t? Most of us have thought that in weeks past, but he continues to sit…. Let’s hope this is the week he finally gets back in. I’m sure he’s chomping at the bit.

Yes, Person would be a fine add for this one.

You would think...and makes most sense...We don't need bridges....did just fine without him.....but we gave up nearly 200 yards on the ground....and we all know why. I'd also use this game as a chance to get Person some game reps...and see what he brings....he is legit....give Haba a seat for this one

It should be Adams. Will it be, who knows?

I think he will do welll...He has a nice rapport and connection to players....and he has been around a while now.....you can see there is a huge shift there since he took over....gotta let him have this yr and next to put his stamp on it

To be fair, have you heard Collinsworth slobber over Mahomes?

Why did a two year bridge deal take until September 23rd?

Feel free to discuss politics...over on Reddit.

But they're twins, AP! And, they play on opposite sides of the ball. What if Ford throws a pick to Ford? Or, Ford burns Ford with a TD. How will you get all the insight if you're not watching TSN? And, they're twins! Brothers, from the same mother.

I can't imagine after a game where Tre Ford looked so rattled that they would start him on the road at the loudest stadium in the league.
