Here's what I have: Vs Toronto (63 defensive snaps) Jefferson 58 Vaughters 54 Thomas 35 Lawson 34 Adams 26 Person 25 Kornelson 6 16 snaps with Vaughters as a stand-up player rushing from the interior. 20 snaps of him, Jefferson and Person on at the same time. Season to date (6 games) Vaughters 290 Jefferson 281 Lawson 205 Thomas 198 Adams 1768 Kornelson 45 Person 29 Still zero D snaps for both rookies.

I have 4 each for Person and Ayers in Week 7. 3 of Ayers were short yardage. Person had 1 in the first quarter, 3 in the third. Two were lined up inside, two on the edge. For the season (I cleaned up some errors from the last time I posted these): Vaughters - 236 Jefferson - 223 Lawson - 167 Thomas - 167 Adams - 143 Kornelson - 39 Ayers - 16 Person - 4

Whenever I get asked about why Mitchell isn't playing I say it's because he's an X wide receiver. And to get him in would require he or Wheatfall changes position. Based on having Case in for Schoen on Sunday I have to believe the Bombers have reservations too. The first day of camp this year they had Mitchell at slot next to Wheatfall. The next day Mitchell was at X with the 2s. And since the end of camp that's where he's stayed. Mitchell has played some slot in his career but the Elks clearly felt he was a WR. For his career I've got him with 151 targets at WR and 55 in the slot--73% WR is pretty high. When they signed Geno Lewis in 2023 they tried Mitchell in the slot but eventually bumped him out to Z. Watching his '24 and '23 Sunday night Mitchell had some real struggles with the waggle...more hesitant than most guys. How much was him and how much was the bad QB situations in Edmonton...who knows.

0 defensive snaps for both through 4 games. 11 for Ayers

Just caught up on snap counts for the season...folks had asked in a different thread. 211 defensive snaps (including penalty plays were the play wasn't stopped early): Vaughters - 189 Jefferson - 182 Thomas - 144 Lawson - 129 Adams - 117 Kornelson - 26

He had 2 in the first game, only in goal line. I'm halfway through the 3rd of game 2 and he has 4 in this game. All at defensive end.

While that was the question he answered, it wasn't the question I was asking 🤣

Yessir, 2 hours. I can't wait to set Doug up to rant about Collaros's suspension. He's going to light it on fire again!

Team says it's just an error on the transaction wire.

That's a good catch. The table I pulled from has him designated as a DB (where he was expecting to play when we talked in pre-season). Looking at where his snaps came, LB is much more accurate. I counted Cole with 186 snaps.

Here's what I have for this season for proper Canadians (O-D and total) 1: 6-4 T:10 2: 6-3 T:9 3: 6-3 T:9 4: 7-3 T:10 5: 7-3 T:10 6: 7-4 T:11 7: 7-3 T:10 8: 7-3 T:10 9: 5-3 T:8 10: 5-3 T:8 11: 5-4 T:9 12: 6-3 T:9 13: 6-4 T:10 14: 6-3 T:9 15: 6-3 T:9 16: 6-3 T:9 17: 6-3 T:9 18: 6-3 T:9

Just so I'm clear for tonight...the Nationalized American rule (the 7 CDNs + 1 fake Canadian)? Or the Designated Nationalized American rule (the now-25 snaps one)?

For whatever reason the CFL's stats system adds up the total yards of penalties and handed out and writes that instead of yardage assigned to each penalty. Fairly annoying if you're trying to keep track at home.

LOL...in the post-game I even prefaced it with "Mike, I know you don't want to hear this but it's for Bombers fans..." I didn't get much past "...tying Bud..." before he took the headset off joking "Oh, can't hear you...static" 🤣

As I read the CBA, teams have to spend a *minimum* of $110,000 per year on "Non-Football Related Services". That $110K counts under the Total Salary Expenditure Cap (this season it's $5.635 million. Up to $5.76 million next season). The thought that it doesn't count against the cap is mostly correct. I don't see anything in the CBA that mentions a maximum for "Non-Football Related Services". What I've heard is that the CFL wants teams to "just be cool" about it (ie. don't go nuts and spend a zillion dollars there). It's got to be a tricky spot for owners collectively. If one decides to spendspendspend I can't imagine the rest could do much to stop him. And if I was the players union I would want a MAJOR concession to put a specified limit on that money.

In the Montreal game they lined up Haba as a standup rusher inside...I counted 6 snaps of that. It was always with Kyrie and Cole at LB, and then Willie & Fox as proper DEs.

It turned out as a little of both. A trainer runs on and gives players some water, and there's a ******* with the flow of the Bombers O. But at a point the officials caught their mistake, and they do start to run the clock with the 20-second clock. (Collaros had to point out that the clock and play clock weren't running together and the officials fixed it.

O'Shea also pointed to something I hadn't thought of on the PI...that Amos's leg is turning Demski's lower body.

The only full series Jefferson has missed was Calgary's 1-play drive that ended with Ford's interception. They may have been planning to sit him for a late Ottawa drive. But then Bonds got hurt and Jefferson came back in for the next play. I have him missing 9 defensive snaps through 5 games. For Thomas, he sat out 16 snaps in the first game (they were running a bunch of 3 LB package with Cole/Karamoko). And 19 total in the four games since then.

Here's what I've got: Jefferson: 283 snaps, 13 pressures Thomas: 257, 9 Adams: 148, 4 Woods: 117, 0 Hubert: 96, 0 Fayad: 71, 4 Fox: 66, 0 Schmekel: 47, 1 Haba: 30, 3

99% sure they'll bring Lucky Ogbevoen onto the roster at DE for this week. See what he can do and bridge to Garbutt's return next week.

Just finished Week 3 DL snaps Jefferson - 57 Thomas - 49 Woods - 27 Adams - 26 Hubert - 23 Fayad - 20 Schmekel - 6

Week 1: Jake 38 (of 54), Tanner 5 Week 2: Jake 59 (of 60), Tanner 31

CFL official through Week 2: EDM 42.5 TOR 42.3 HAM 38.8 MTL 38.4 CGY 38.3 SSK 38.1 OTT 33.7 WPG 33.1 BC 32.3 Adjusted for field position I have Sheahan being dead last through two weeks...4.3 net yards below average per punt.

The 2022 CBA no longer mentions game-day scratches. It talks about a minimum of 44 and a maximum of 45 players. That 45th could be a second global or another Canadian (presuming a team already has its maximum 19 Americans)
