  1. Practise Observations

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    I was at practise today (September 18)...here are my observations regarding how we lined up

    OLine
    Bryant Neufeld Goosen Chungh Hardrick (Couture 6th man)

    QB
    Nichols all 1st team scrimmage reps

    RB
    Harris with LaFrance backing up.  Flanders doesn't look like he'll be on the game-day roster, (no 1st team reps and no ST reps)

    RECEIVERS
    Adams Dressler Demski Thompkins Wolitarsky (Peterman and Simonise in reserve)  Washington doesn't look like he'll be on the game-day roster, (no 1st team reps)

    DLine
    Roh Bryant Nevis Oka (Thomas and Rivers rotating in)

    LB
    JSK Bighill Gaitor at SAM (reps were about a 70/30 split with Gaitor and Fenner)

    SECONDARY
    Priester Alexander Loffler Sayles Randle (reps were about a 70/30 split with Priester and Fogg)

    PUNT cover notable
    Briggs and Bennet are upbacks
    Fenner and Randle the gunners
    Wild still playing on the team

    PUNT return notable
    Demski and Fogg getting reps...

    Didn't observe kick team scrimmage



    DI's
    Looks like Medlock, Rivers, Fenner, and Wild

    missed a sentence

    On Offence
    - O line same as last week with Foketi at RT
    - Simonise got Adams' reps;
    - LaFrance got Harris' reps;
    - Washington got all reps with 1st team...Lankford didn't get any with first team while I was there....leads me to believe that if either Adams or Dressler can't go...Washington draws in with Lankford off the game day roster;
    - My sense is that Adam's will be good to go...while Simonise took Adams' scrimmage reps...they didn't have him taking part in 1st team offence drills while punt team was scrimmaging...he and the other reserve receivers were tending to their scout team duties on punt coverage...
    - Dressler's participation in practise was similar to the past two weeks...helping out LaPo with drills...not sure he draws in...
    - Nichols threw a bad pick to Priester (playing the scout team)
    - Streveler moved the ball well against 1st team D hitting a home run deep shot to Lankford over Fogg...

    On D
    - Bryant got 1 team reps at tackle
    - D Line was Roh, Bryant, Nevis, Okpalaugo (Thomas rotating in...didn't see Poop Johnson rotating in)
    - Secondary was the same as last week
    - Fenner in at SAM for Leggett
    - Gaitor came in on some packages as extra DB...didn't see Cooper coming on as extra DB
    - Randle subbed himself out intermittently with Priester coming on...doesn't look serious

    Based on how they practised today, it appears as one lineup change will be Washington on for Lankford (Dressler was on the game day roster last week); another will be Jeffcoat coming off...not sure who comes on in place of Jeffcoat...maybe Gaitor

    Fenner and Wild were on punt team...leading me to believe they'll continue to be on the roster as DI's...not sure if an extra DB like Gaitor will come on...if so...the other DI will likely be a choice between Poop Johnson and the extra DB.  

    Based on the way they practised...it doesn't look like they're too concerned that Leggett won't be ready to go...I based this on the fact they kept Fenner on punt team...not likely that they would have him on punt and kick team and starting SAM...

    They still have one full practise day left...plenty of time to change up D and ST if Legget can't go


    FWIW...the team looked very loose...not especially as sharp as I've seen them in past practises...but that's a subjective opinion...others who attended may feel differently

    Anybody see how, or if Matty is working on the longer passes at practise ?.......if he starts connecting on a few more of those each games our offence would really start scaring opponents...

     

    He was working on deep corner routes and a few fly routes during Monday scrimmages...but this is common at most practises I've attended...no special attention to the long ball...I attended both practises last week prior to the Hamilton game...I know I wasn't the only observer to indicate that Matty seemed off...a lot of inaccurate throws.  I chalked it up to rust after the bye and expected it would improve before the game on Friday...as we all observed...his accuracy wasn't great last week...this week...he was much more accurate during practise IMHO

    Notable:

    Lankford got all 1st team reps in Dressler's spot;
    Leggett didn't practise - Fenner took SAM reps;
    Alexander didn't practise - Cooper took reps in his Field HB spot;
    Harris was helmutless - most of his reps taken by LaFrance;

    Bennet was one of the up-backs on punt team

    Dressler didn't have a noticeable injury, (i.e. walking fine etc.)  
    Alexander was walking gingerly on his right leg that had a tensor/wrap
    Legget and Harris seem fine...just maintenance

    Starting line-ups look to be the same as last week (keep in mind this is only the first practise of the week)...big proviso being whether or not Alexander is good to go...if he isn't...looks like Cooper comes on...probably in his spot with the DI's being Wild, Fenner, Roh and Medlock again.

    Kickoff returns he lines up on the right sideline of the front 4.

    Thanks.  He definitely wasn't with the punt cover unit on Nov 10 practice.  Any ST tackles for Addison or catches this season?...just curious...he's had a rough couple of years...he seems to have all the tools and catches the ball well in practice...?

    I think you're right.  Knuckles had a tweet about Cole 'trashing' the Bombers for benching him.  Not sure what that's all about.

    Shortly after practice yesterday the following appeared on Cole's Instagram account

    When your team shows fake love so you gotta reminisce about the good old days.
     
    Winnipeg is fake bruh lame as s***!
     
    It was removed from the account on the same day...but was up for about 2 hours. 
    I and others speculated that perhaps he was being moved from Active Roster to Practice Roster...losing out on a game cheque...and that this was possibly the reason why he reacted the way he did...it now appears...based on Knuckle's tweet...that his outburst was because he's being benched...publicly disparaging your employer because they're resting you...really indefensible...
     
    Bob Irving@BobIrvingCJOB
    Defensive end Justin cole trashes bombers over benching. That wont go over well with Mike Oshea?. Might be "thanks for coming out Justin".

    Sounds like J Cole is upset via his IG. Judging by this practice report I'm guessing he's pr bound?

    If they're planning on rostering P. Scott and Green...2 Ints have to come off the 46 man...I'm pretty sure Flanders will be one...I'm wondering if Cole was told he'd be moved off the roster and to the PR...missing out on a game cheque...
