Yeah, I'm thinking it's less disparaging than we're assuming. "Healthy" scratch is more like it. He felt he was ready and coaches wanted to give him another week to be 100%....more likely.

That doesn't make any sense, unless there's some weird off-field stuff that hasn't come to light...

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming · 7m Jeff Hecht tells me he’s good to go Friday vs the #RedBlacks. Chris Matthews told me the same, adding he’s excited as it feels like his #Bombers debut once again. Mike O’Shea says all players battling nicks and bumps are “good,” but will not make a determination on anyone.

the Argos got him for a bag of used jock straps....

as mentioned, the Bombers had a closed practice today, so there won't likely be any updates on the roster until close to kickoff Friday. The depth chart tomorrow will have some answers, but as we know, that can (and likely will) be a bit of a smokescreen...

@JohnDHodge Bombers’ national LB Jesse Briggs could be gone for season. #Bombers #CFL @3DownNation

Fenner's been about 50-50 so far this year, and I'm not sure if that's good or not, based on the system.....

so much revisionist history re: Burke. At the time people were terrified we'd lose him because he was THE hottest commodity in the leagues assistant coaching ranks. Canning Lapo was absolutely the right move, and at the time it was the right move to hand the reins over to Burke, because we were going to lose him otherwise. Just a total fluke that he was the shits as a head coach. Shame...

Begging.........for a mod to lock this thread..........plzzzzzzzzzz?

based on where we were when The Trinity took over to where we are today, it is insane to me that anyone can question how much better off we are with this regime in place than pretty much any other available in the league.

100%...there's nobody else it COULD be....

We've had a family cabin on my mom's side at Victoria Beach since about 1925, and at a couple of different points, my dad has lived at Hillside, and now he's been at Belair for a year. The East Beaches holds a special place in my heart...you're definitely in for a treat down there.

If we can get back on track a bit....... Today is the Bombers last practice of the week (they took Monday off and are doing walk-through tomorrow) and it's a closed-practice, so we won't know much about injuries until probably right around game time. Tomorrow's depth chart will have a couple answers, but as per usual with MOS, there'll be some guessing until just about kickoff....

the best season of Bombers ball since 1990 was 2001, period. Full stop. End of discussion.

Players don't want anyone knowing about their injuries, so MOS keeps it close to the vest. It's been said that the players really appreciate that he doesn't put that info out to the public.

I don't know if Sportsnet has ever even bid on CFL football....certainly not the last couple times it was up for grabs.

Listen, anything can happen "any given Sunday" (or Friday, as it were), but based on where we are right now and where Ottawa is, in terms of talent and injuries, there is no way we should lose to Jon Jennings....anything can happen, but it shouldn't.

^^ MOS on the peeps missing at practice today....

I don't like to lie to myself....

Jon Jennings is Reilly-lite?? Maybe Casey Printers-lite.......

Ambrosie hit him with a folding chair....

let's add Nelson and Adams to the growing list of walking wounded....... Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman · 2m To recap, here are the non-participants for #Bombers today: Bighill Hecht Roh Rios Whitehead Adams Nelson Hardrick #CFL

the thing of it is, not one of these guys needs to practice at all this week in order to start on Friday, so it's not necessarily a bad idea to let them rest every second possible just to make sure they're as close to 100% as possible...

I'm ehhhhh about McGloster, but so long as I never have to see Cody Speller at RT ever again......
