its a shame Hecht was so bad that Alexander had to take his spot and we lose starting Richardson on the D-line. Not sure what snap counts have been like, but haven't noticed him as much since, and we definitely are weaker vs the run as a result. But I guess that was the only real option, outside of maybe Petermann as another Cdn WR. Something had to be done, Hecht is garbage.

Id rather have Jake Thomas starting at safety over Hecht

I’m so sick of Strevler and this offence. Call it out QB, call it out coordinator, I don’t care. This offence is brutal. Only thing worse would be Brian brohm

That’s where he took most of his snaps last week and he did very very well
wow, did not realize this. good to hear

Hansen listed at DE?

Safety is definitely a weak point in the secondary. Never got aboard the hype train for Jones after Walters said he pushed Loffler for the role last year, so not surprised to see Hecht over Jones, either way it's a weak point I think. Hopefully the D-line gets enough pressure and can compensate.

I couldn't figure that statement out, Walters said he was the 4th of 4 Canadians behind Demski and Woli., which must mean he was ranked behind Petermann, Oliveira and Augustine. I guess if two Natl. receivers go down they will play Petermann and make a ratio adjustment elsewhere.

unless they really do sign Coombs

this is a fair and legitimate question, but I'd say that Jones has a lot more reps at his position than Gray at his.....again, keep in mind that Jones was winning the Safety spot last year until injury...
I mean, I know Walters said Jones was pushing Loffler for that job before the injury last year, but when Jones is the incumbent and the previous starter left in free agency, I think Walters (or most GMs) are going to say something positive about that player. Not about to stand up there and say we are going with our back up from last year because that's all we have. Probably a different argument, but I take all Walters and O'Shea comments with a grain of salt. They are always positive. Not knocking them, think they've done a great job, but Im not getting excited about Jones replacing Loffler until we see him on the field.

with 2 first round picks upcoming, I really hope Walters can flip one in a trade for a proven player. with how Ekakite, Corney, Goosen, etc ultimately panned out (although Goosen gave us great play for a few seasons) I just feel like the draft is too much of a crap shoot lately.

Loffler back practising, but it looks like Santos-Knox will miss Sunday’s game. He was seen in a walking boot.
Huge loss for the Bombers if this is correct.
****, no one to back him up either. that's a brutal loss, gonna have to hope offence can stay on the field and keep the defense off of it as much as possible.

I think we end up 3-2 in this stretch, would be awesome to go 4-1 and sweep sask in the process though

Didn't their backup RB run better against us anyway?
even if that was the case, I'd 100% rather face their #2 back than Wilder. Plus Wilder was active catching the ball as well last week.

Damn - only an 8th round pick. oh well, he wasn't producing here and I'm excited to see what Washington / Thompkins can do.
-
he has a tendency to out-think himself sometimes (ex. the goal line stand in BC), but overall I'd say Im happy with him. Also, if no more Demski sweeps were called the rest of the way, I'd be fine with that.

Well, according to the box score from TSN, Cooper had 3 kick returns for 75 yards... his average was better than Fogg's on the night, though Cooper had a much smaller sample size.
Fog was returning punts, not kick returns. But yes, its small sample size to make any conclusions off of

Happy Honker to Ryan Lankford for getting his sorry ass benched - return game was much better with Cooper back there.
Really didn't think Cooper looked that great as a returner. Not a fan of Lankford the receiver, but he was a better return man IMO. I realize that doesn't justify him a roster spot though.

Im sorry but how does this fix the D again? I feel like they have yet to address the biggest issue from last week.. It wasn't the QB.. It was the guys who couldn't stop Hamilton from scoring 6 drives in a row. And until they do fix that massive issue, i dont think it matters who the QB is.
doesn't fix the D but it will hopefully keep them off the field more. 6 straight 2 and outs is a recipe for disaster against a good team. We were in the game up until halftime.

Gaitor out is honestly addition by subtraction if you ask me
wonder if Moe is ready to come back full time, would he slot into Gaitor's HB spot and Fenner stay at SLB?

I'm hoping the defense & special teams can chip in something to make it a bit easier on Streveler. Really hoping the experience we have among our vet WRs can exploit the injuries Edmonton has in the secondary. Of course Streveler still has to get them the ball, but there should be opportunities for him to do so.
Game day at last! Go Bombers!

The Esks D is a little suspect
down 3 starting DBs, hopefully leveling the playing field for Streveler at least a bit
