Blue In BC

Adding Cooley was the last thing I was expecting. Case still has to be removed from the AR to IR so there is still an opening for another import. As mentioned, if Mitchell isn't added this week in some capacity, then why are we keeping him around? Good chance we see Kelly and or Makonzo added to replace Canadians moved to PR.

He's getting a full pay check without any risk of injury. That's not a bad gig. So far neither have declined to be extended on the 1 game IR. I don't understand why he's not on the AR though in place of Ayers most probably.

That may be true about Clercius but as I pointed out we aren't getting much output in any case. So I'm suggesting we'd improve overall with Mitchell in at WR and him at SB. Now if we want to use Corcoron or Cobb in that role, I'd fine with that as well. In 3 of his 5 games he and 14 or less yards for the game. His best game was the 1st game against the Stamps. Bumping Vaval might happen anyway due to injury this week. So the suggestion of Case bumped to a returner role and back up receiver works for me too.

I don't get the revenue sharing as a direct line to an SMS increase. When a company earns a profit there may be some bonus program for that year. It doesn't carry forward forever. Either way I would have thought the CFLPA would have had some sort of specific plan to create the concept of revenue sharing. As far as the Bombers using an increased SMS on the 1 game IR: Yes and no. Look at other teams 1 game IR and ours is very small in comparison. The complaint is that Mitchell and J. Jones were two expensive free agency acquisitions and can't make the AR.

Why not move Clercius into a SB position. His output is not huge and he should be add some weight in blocking assignments. Then add Mitchell at WR since the comments are that he can only play WR. If that means taking out one of Sterns or Case, then so be it. OTOH I'm not sure if Vaval misses a game or two due to possible concussion issue. If that happens Case could remain on the roster until either Logan or Vaval is healthy. The reality is that we aren't getting huge output from Sterns, Case or even Clercius. Adding Mitchell might give us more ability to stretch the field and have more YAC.

I was trying to watch Thomas as much as possible to see how ineffective he was. he made one tackle ( from chase mode ) for about a 7 yard running play. The other one was where the RB essentially ran into him and a crown at the LOS. So I didn't see much that impressed me about him in particular or the front 4 in total. We gave up 100 yards rushing and gave Adams too much time to throw. The saving grace is that aside from a couple of big pass plays he didn't do much. OTOH, he didn't need to .

The fake injury players go to 1 game IR. No point putting him on the 6 game IR unless he is actually can't play or practice.

Not sure where you're going with that comment. In any case it should mean we removed the 2nd global choice for a Canadian( Oliveria ).

Different situation entirely. Collaros had to be added to the AR to come off the suspended list. It was mentioned that paper shuffle was necessary to maintain the roster size limit. Nothing like that needs to happen this week. Players on IR or PR are not part of the 45 man AR at the moment.

Woods is on the 6 game IR so he's not an option. Even if he comes off early it will take some time to get up to game speed and conditioning.

Is that a 1 year lease or 2 year lease and how big is the condo

I'd hate to lose him and don't understand why he's not on the AR. As much as I like Ayers I'd bump him to PR and put Jones on the AR. At some point we can't keep putting players on the 1 game IR that aren't injured. The SMS cost adds up quickly. For that matter I'd cut a couple off the PR and move shuffle the rosters a bit.

It's about where they might be used. Bailey could see some duty in rotation at DE where we are thin as is gets. Weitz is not going to see any action on defence. I'm not even sure he will play on ST's. We have seen him in 7 games last year. We traded up to bet Bailey as the 2nd pick in the draft. That and what the coaches have said about him and how much they liked him. So it's a bit more than just opinion. So any option to see time at DE is a bonus especially if we end up needing someone there.

I don't think any other team was going to offer him that kind of money. Winning is nice but who is to say where the Elks end up at the end of the season. Bombers didn't start off 2024 very well and still ended up in the Grey Cup. That said we play them next week and need to dig the hole deeper for them.

Castillo, Vaval, Ayers and Griffin will be the DI's.
