Hardrick, jeffcoat, wolitarsky, Darvin Adams, Harris come to mind as players we allowed to move on or didn’t offer on in previous seasons. I imagine not all of Bryant, Nuefeld and Thomas will be back next season.

But these moves safe for Ford are in line with Walter’s plans to let a few move on per season rather than needing to replace them all at once. There’s only a few left at this point

Jefferson is basically useless at this point outside of the of the knockdowns. I expect the gap between career knockdowns and sacks to keep growing until he retires. Hes gonna to retire as the only player with 100 knockdowns and 75 sacks.

Bighill plus bye week made Calgary look like a well prepared team. Winnipeg was also just really not in the right headspace. Lots of opportunity to win that game. Interceptions. Missed open receivers and when we did put the ball on the money we had sun in our eyes…. glad we have a bye week and justification to make some changes. I’m willing to give Sterns some credit too he’s finally playing to his potential. Sask sterns minus the drops and fumbles is a decent little receiver. Hope that continues. Thought our kick cover teams were pretty good. Let’s not act like Schoen got paid in the same ballpark as Lawler. Hoping we get Wilson back soon.

The main reason we’ve lost 3 Grey Cups in a row in my opinion has been the offensive line struggling to protect Zach combined with Zach not being as athletic as he once was. If Vanderpool provides a significant upgrade to the offensive line then I think it’s worth shaping the rest of the lineup around that.

Pleased that we are going back to Vanterpool at guard. Didn't think he (O'Shea) had it in him. Seems to be more confident this season than last. He's got the easy assignment and picking up where Ford left off in terms of interceptions. Tyrell Ford's stat line for the seasons consists of 11 tackles and no interceptions.

Not sure by what basis someone would pick the stamps in this game. Of coarse anything can happen and the could might very well be close. You're going to do well over the last 6 years picking Winnipeg each week and this year they are already 3 and 0. VA hasn't thrown a TD pass yet this season.

Did somebody tell Arbuckle this was the Grey Cup or something.

Im not just sure how much impact he had on Streveler's week 1 performance if he wasn't really around. Hogan would deserve the credit in that case.

I thought coach Jackson missed training camp? What was that situation about?

Ive been really surprised at how bad the Elk's D has looked considering the talent . Hoping they don't gel this week. But I think Tre will be good for atleast one pick six vs our D.

In the same spirit that keeps listing Ayes at defensive end we can list Eli and Streveler at slot.

Im not sure that Cooley was added last week over depth fears but more that they wanted to take a look at him. It might always have been part of the plan to start the American guard in week one because they weren’t confident at that point if Nuefeld was going to be able to play the whole game. After he did they were more comfortable going with Nuefeld and Wallace as the guards the following week and got Cooley on the roster. I hope he has a larger role this week. Other than the fumble and recovery he looked pretty good and out performed Peterson.

Darren Bauming 20 mins ago Brady Oliveira will miss a second straight game. We should know more on Nic Demski’s status when the #Bombers release their game roster tomorrow morning. #BonfireFtb

There's always somebody like Jamie Nye who tries to be a hero. Its nothing more than that.

Even less points if you subtract garbage time points.

In the current depth chart how do we know which backups are Americans vs designated imports?

Masoli without maneuverability plays into the strength of our defence. Lots of dbs in coverage he will be forced to release the ball quickly or get taken down and it can take guys time to get open against this scheme. Does Ayers actually get snaps at defensive end or is this just depth chart spin?

I think with the makeup of this depth chart they are free to use Cooley as much as they want in the offence. Would love to get him and Peterson on the field at the same time.

Jefferson gives him the willies!

The playbook is the same sure but the way the defense prepares is going to be different and how they react is gonna be different. The threat of Streveler pulling the ball and running with it on a RPO is going to keep teams from keying on our runningback to a degree and certainly Zack's ability to throw a deep ball on a dime has gotta play a role as well.

Sounds like Wallace is in for Nuefeld because Tait said right guard. It would be insane to take away a starting American on the offensive line to save one of many linebacker backups.

Yeah well you didn't exactly have him in 2 draft kings lineups now did you!

He can be depth for now and potentially be in the picture next season if Bryant retires.
