Anybody else worried that Schoen is going to come back but he's been rushed and isn't quite right physically which is just going to cause more issues?

Woli is a tigercat, enough of silly speculation

Schoen was invisible this year even before his injury.

No it's not the same. Wolitarsky was still a guy producing as expected from his role. Thomas is a guy playing more than his ability dictates which is the issue.

Not at all injury related, his wife went into labour. Congrats to his family.

Jake was always that high effort rotational depth Canadian that had a use... but now he's treated like he's prime Doug Brown.... which is insane. Even when he was good he was still just depth.

In all honesty I dont really understand why they dumped Woli...he just turned 30 this yr and was probably performance wise one the more reliable guys we had game in and game out And not like he was an injury magnet...missed 4 games in 2022 and guy came back with a brace from that MCL injury and played just fine Last yr got ribs busted from suicide passes and getting the gritty yards, so why he was tossed away before his bonus...which wasnt much either was pretty short sighted considering the pickle we in with Canadian receiver depth ...receiver depth in general really.....and in this lame offence as well...A dependable guy who you can trust and your QB had great chenistry with as he always knew where to be for ZC....just dumb And he made peanuts too really when you look at his salary and what he gave you If he was available via trade thats one to definitely make

Kramdi hasn't practiced all week and is only questionable... yahuh... sure thing. Got a feeling demski gonna miss too.

Makes sense for sure but it sucks that we don’t have a single young receiver in the pipeline that we can continue to develop over the season.

The study on NFL players is anyone coming off ACL isn't close to previous production until 3 years later. Reinjury rate also crazy high (for everything hip down) and most pro football players don't make it to 3 years post ACL. So yeah, I don't expect him to be anything like he was his first couple years and he'll have to keep working to adapt his game to the reality of where his body is. I get that Mitchell is better than those Canadians, but also kind of a red herring because it's picking whether to dress a borderline useless American or borderline useless Canadian. Mitchell is like a grenade they forgot to install the charge in. We pulled the pin and there was no explosion.

Makes sense with the Moore and Echols additions.

So if you take Mitchell off, you're going Schoen/Demski/Wheatfall/Clercius/Corcoran at WR with Cobb as the back up? I'd take Mitchell over Cobb or Corcoran. Schoen for Sterns, Cobb for Weitz, Houston for Lawson seems better to me.

So a healthy Wheatfall and Clercius...Iffy Demski....Just back from an injury he shouldn't have been playing with already Schoen and Corcoran and Cobb?...good good what a flop and failure that group is if that the case Id say hopefully since we basically are relegated to it see Schoen for Mitchell....Echols for Sterns, Bailey for Weitz, Cobb for Thomas, Makonzo for Kramdi...Woods for Ayers..Houston for Lawson

No we don't need a Canadian @ SAM but Makonzo when healthy could be a very good addition. It also allows Griffin to play multiple rotational roles that he is currently doing very well. If it's up to me I'm sending Weitz back to the PR in order to add a Canadian to the AR. However we added Cobb already but that may have been a paper shuffle to keep PR roster within limits. I won't be surprised either way. If either of Kramdi or Demski don't play then there is room for those 2 changes on the AR regarding Canadians added. I believe Cobb was added just on the premise that Demski was a possible GTD but I expect him to play.

This will always be the case, but I'm more worried about them doing it to Demski this week...

You seem to be trying to speak for a lot of people regarding Wilson. How do you know what people think about Willson when you're more irrelevant than him? I happen to enjoy what he says & the engagement he has with fans even if he's right or wrong. He stirs things up & there's nothing wrong with that.

this is a little bit revisionist... most would agree he was a nice quality rotational piece on the DL... up until about 2021... my fondest memory of him (and what I would consider essentially his last useful play as a Bomber) was his bullrush that led to a holding call in OT of the 21 GC... that penalty negated a good run, put Hammy into 1st and 20, which became 2nd and 18, and the rest is history... Jake should've went out on top after that year

I just received 25 bucks from the Second Auto Parts Distribution settlement.

To me that read tongue-in-cheek... People complain about O'Shea's unwillingness to move on from Thomas but when the team does move on from a veteran (Wolitarsky) people complain, so damned if you do damned if you don't even though if we had a straw poll about if we had to pick one it would be 100% to Wolitarsky. And with Wolitarsky... it does take two to tango. It's clear to us all here that he would have been the #3 Canadian Receiver behind Demski and Clercius so how often would he be getting on the field? Bombers are having issues with depth right now but you don't necessarily expect that and I can see why he would want to be in a position where he is on the field more often than not. Obviously hasn't played out the way he wanted with picking up a hamstring issue and BOO looking more or less competent

However we want to characterize Makonzo's role as a key player in historically bad Chris Jones D...the guy hasn't suited up for a football game in 22 months. He's not going to play more than 35-40 snaps in a whole game including special teams.

Look at our receiving corps in 2022 and try to find a spot for him. Yeah we could use that player today. He would have had a hard time getting on the field in 2022.

Yeah you're both right but I still think they're going to do what I said

Oh I agree...Makonzo is legit..and a better SAM than Kramdi Griffin tho is our best and is doing great there Weitz i agree is a pointless add...offers nothing but ST play and isnt exceptional at that either

Guy who already did...Griffin....on roster tho possibly Makonzo We don't need SAM as a Canadian spot to meet ratio...never have really

Griffin could but I'd guess Makonzo comes off the 6 game IR after missing 10 games this season. He could be listed as the starter but fall into more of a rotational SAM initially.

If I say then you'll all go and I won't get a table. I will say that Stellas is still ok but absolutely declining in quality.

As long as Woli doesn't start over Clercius then depth is totally fine

Minimum 2 eggs scrambled (real eggs, not some fabricated nonsense), sausage, real hash browns (actual potatoes diced and seasoned), and buttered multi grain toast... Bonus points for as many locally sourced products as possible... I'll pay ~$20 for that no problem...

he was huge for the receiver room right until he left, and what he brought (attitide/toughness and leadership)and showing guys how to play was really missed....Guys still here after he left were in constant communication with him...he was a true leader here...and came up big when it mattered too

Thomas had his contract expire, and was brought back late before camp. Lucky also had his contract expire as he ended the year on the PR. Houston left as a free agent, and Castillo did as well. I will say we've seen him bring back TC camps later in the year, and guys from previous camps, etc. I do not believe mos had any thing against adams or bringing him back. I think Darvin got to a point where he had a bounce back year on a bad team making a big big chunk of money, and the only interest in him was vet min type deals. So he moved on from football. I really liked what darvin brought, and as a person he is a great guy. I think he chose a great time and way to walk away. He played a full 18 game season for the first time in his career, he put up good numbers, walked away healthy, and with 2 rings. He isn't a guy who gets talked about alot in the 19 run, but boy he was big for us in those play offs. Right? No one is going to long for the return of Jake. His best football was in 19 and prior. And even in 19, we had stove and nevis as well. He is so far removed from being a guy you'd want it's sad.

Who on here is going to want this? The vets that people speak about wanting back are guys who at least at one point "excelled" and were bright spots on the team. At no point that I can remember of anyone who thought Jake Thomas "was the man". My only memories of him going back is that he's a guy that "doesn't get hurt" and has been around a long time.

I picked the Riders just because it's the LDC. Even though we've turned things around lately at The Pas West (did Princess Auto acquire the naming rights out there too or is it still IGF West?), I still expect a loss and hope to be surprised with a win.

Ill always love Sals. I dont care what anyone says. Still a great and cheap breakfast spot. Probably still my favorite pancakes in the city and their cinnamon buns are awesome aswell. Burgers are great too. Love them Nip's!

Seemed like they wanted to let Clercius run with that spot. Although now that we're sometimes starting 3 Canadian receivers, there still could have been room for Woli. Even in a backup role.

got his bell rung and showed signs on th field of beig in lala land right after Then hurt his ankle/foot after they put him back in...I hope they play him...be a sitting duck and one good smack aay from being the lame QB he pretty much has been his whole career....and for them to have to rely on Lousy Lauther for filed goals ....well good luck there

MOS has brought back multiple guys that were cut in the past. Thomas being one of them. Lucky whitehead last year. Houston this year. Castillo too I think. I understand your distain for the guy, but stop making stuff up.

Beat we can do is kramdi plays in a wheelchair

Saskatchewan's team doctor say Trevor Harris is fine.

Personal reasons = removing a truckload of manure from his driveway.

Makonzo on for Kramdi...and play so you cant take him off...I can see it happening

Not to nitpick or challenge your post....but he had 8 yrs...fairly solid ones at that in terms of TE stats for a NFL tight Emd who wasn't an offence's key guy NFL fams with casual interest may check in to see whats up if they see he is doing something with league, but ;ike you said youngins and people who are just your average fan would have zero clue, but he does offer more on how he breaks some stuff down and what he contributes to the in-game analysis than that screechy Clair and Britt Dort who Rider fans think is some god....The girl in CGY is good tho and will get better CFL just needs to onboard themselves with the way leagues and companies now market themselves online with social media and fan interaction....thats where they slipping big time

He looked really poised and professional in his appearances, it would be great to get him here this season if he doesn't catch on to anyone else's PR

Woogie is a guy Zach trusts... That's the most important part, to me...

yeah nothing about him screams successful long career....not sure the allure there to be honest for that pick,,,,havnt looked at draft results but I sure there was something more useful at that point in draft, tho in those rounds generally most are just a hope and dream pick and many never amount to spit

Thomas and Kolo for Wogie....now thats a good deal If The cats toss in some cases of tape, a few new balls and agree to extend both those shlubs then thats a fair value deal
