Winnipeg Free PressFootball kept Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Matt Jaworski going...Instead of gearing up for his first full season of CFL football, Matt Jaworski was in a hospital bed wondering if he’d ever get to play again.

Apparently Andrew Whitworth was the first tackle to start in modern NFL history. Currently there are no 40 year old tackles. Doesn’t surprise me though. Management has 2019 beer goggles on.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros and his wife are building Dogtopia—a four-hectare, C$3 million facility near Winnipeg dedicated to rescuing abused and abandoned dogs. “This is more than just a shelter,” Collaros says. “We will provide professional training, water-play areas and around-the-clock veterinary care—but most importantly, love. Dogs are family.”

Jaworksi should get the first shot. Its important to have the next guy up in, and with our struggles vs the run Peterson gives us a guy who we can plug in and will play at a much higher level vs the run and the pass then we are used to. Boy he is just going full reinbold over in ottawa. The secondary hasn't been good, and no one there should be safe. But they just canned the DC, no pro team is playing that bad on talent alone. Not by a mile.

Peterson is ok, I really like that Jaworski is back and would rather give him a chance first.

I owned several bars throughout the years, and a big red nosed customer only ever meant two things, they were alkies or cokeheads.

most of the teams tho look leaps and bounds better than us tho...save fo Ottawa...and we barely beat them...we need to fix things up and fast or we gonna be left in the dust

3DownNationOttawa Redblacks release starters Amari Henderson, Demeri...The Ottawa Redblacks have released American defensive backs Amari Henderson and Demerio Houston, the team announced on Monday. Henderson started the team’s last six games at field-side halfback, recorTurnover continuing in Ottawa with Henderson and Houston getting released. Maybe these changes will fix their defense.

?? There have been weeks where every game was a 1 score game right down to the final whistle. This weeks games were solid, but not at all the best this year.

Him swapped in for Fletcher with Reese....WJ...Gatkouth, Lawson...Ceresna would give us a nice rotation for our top 6...And I guess Schmeck for limited reps/gaoline type stuff and Jumbo/goaline stuff for the offence....But we still need a true nose/dt type. Dixon showed promise as well as a multi position guy but when healthy does he battle for a spot with Jaworski?

Apologies for the lateness of the reply. Busy weekend (Rush). Coach Din has his own way and his own vision. I think given enough time he will surround himself with coaches and players and be a big problem for the Eastern division and the rest of the league. I know that the Dru Brown thing set some people off. But whatever Dinwiddie's vision of a quarterback on his team is, I just don't think Brown fit it. And I don't necessarily think that's a knock on Brown. And ultimately, as you know, taking responsibility for the team will fall on the coach. So he can throw people under the bus in this phase of his tenure because it isn't really a team in his image yet... He won't be able to do that once all the players and coaches are his guys. And as it is, I would say that the Redblacks have the second lowest level of talent for a team in the league. So he's got some time to build something before he'll be held to account for results. As for what you said about Grant losing a step, for me his speed has always been weird. He's the fastest moving player on the field, but at full clip it looks like he's just taking it easy and jogging. And there are guys next to him trying to keep up who are in full on sprints. His return the other night was like that too. Look at the guy who's trying to catch him versus his nice and easy run. You can't teach speed, right?

Would really like to see Broxton slide over to LT with Vanterpool staying at RT....

RD also has those insanely nice blue eyes tho right, if we being honest I think most real men would agree, nice eye colour. Pretty cool looking. So obviously he’s aging so it looks odd. Someone find a pic of his dad or older brothers and compare. Maybe it’s a family thing. Cocaine? Lots of ppl do cocaine every day. I don’t think it’s that. Alcohol is possible. Does seem like a is he married? Kids? I dunno then again maybe it’s like the POTUSA job there in Ottawa and it rapidly extremely rapidly ages you??? But I’d imagine RD has some demons or some reason he didn’t really make it as a QB. Wasn’t he a legend in Idaho or wherever he played ncaa? That was his athletic peak. That probably is the root cause.

Sounds more like Brady and his wife...He champions dog rescue....but hey IF Zack wants to contribute I don't think Brady would mind.......

^^ that makes sense. It'd be more of a Brady thing than a Zach thing. Especially since Zach's family is out east. Not super connected to Winnipeg, really.

Saw this posted on some AI slop page and can't find anything else about it. I don't think this is a thing.

although thats funny and made me lauh...totally hear ya! Hopefully he isnt dealing with major issues...but since yr 2 in T.O he has morphed big time so something is up His real erratic actions now too seem a bit concerning....

At the end of the season, Jake Maier is going to doing this in Ottawa:

Yep....my bouncers were instructed to look for the Rudolph's and watch them closely for either over service, or drug taking/selling.

and I bounced for yrs....and the regulars...and the known ones with alcohol and dependency issues, especially the ones who have been at it a while pretty much 90% of them had that look as well...

I worked in the field for a couple of decades, and while it is not true for all who abuse alcohol, it is for some. Alcohol is not only a depressant, it is also a diuretic and and anticoagulant (hence the red nose) . Oncologists will not begin chemo or radiation until the patient is provably abstinent for a minimum of 90 days. Surgeons who operate on those in the problems expect all kinds of problems- resistance to anesthesia, and analgesia and hemorrhaging that is difficult to stop.

I agree

Lawson back is massive. We have sincerely missed that guy.

I mean good to see Collaros back I guess but if you have Stanley starting at LT and Brockton is out it’s going to be ugly no matter who’s under center for the Bombers.

Alouettes prevail. There are the Montreal Alouettes & then there are the rest of us. They are in a class all their own. Why is Fajardi a joke? Oh yeah, I forgot. He played for the Riders a decade ago so you just hate him for no reason other than that. . Start living in the present & not the past. The guy is one of the top qbs in the CFL.

I know you guys would make a different choice. And that’s fine. But don’t pretend 1991-2015 didn’t exist. And don’t pretend things haven’t been vastly different over the past 10 years. Because we’ve had decent seasons in my lifetime. We’ve had grey cup appearances. But we hadn’t won. And more than that, the success was never sustained. But 9 consecutive 10+ win seasons is unprecedented for us and that’s the reason they’re going to continue to get the benefit of the doubt. Not because they’re “buddies” with anyone.

The slate of games this past weekend was overall the most entertaining to date. The teams who were expected to lose, lost, but they put up a fight. Harrison Frost looks to have potential. all that teams that played looked like they upped their games, which does not bode well for the Bombers. The Bombers' runway is very short.
