There's a Schoen interview in the Sun today which would be a little strange if he is injured again. Usually injured guys don't talk to the media. Obviously he isn't 100%, we all saw him pull up at the end of the game, but seems like he is "ok" to me. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/blue-bombers-dalton-schoen-thrown-right-back-into-labour-day-fire?itm_source=index

Guilty conscience because he knows Schoen shouldn't have been playing

Gonna need huge games from Demski and Willie tonight

I'm surprised Houston didn't get on

Woodbey joins the fray at Adams' expense. Officially going all-Canadian on the DL interior.

Yeah you're both right but I still think they're going to do what I said

I think Weitz will come off for Cobb. Schoen, Cobb, Houston ON Sterns, Weitz, Mitchell OFF

You think O'Shea would start Clercius over Woli if he had them both healthy?

Seemed like they wanted to let Clercius run with that spot. Although now that we're sometimes starting 3 Canadian receivers, there still could have been room for Woli. Even in a backup role.

He looked really poised and professional in his appearances, it would be great to get him here this season if he doesn't catch on to anyone else's PR

Doubt they start Cobb. They'll wait to the last minute to see if Demski is healthy. Wheatfall-Schoen-Demski-Corcoran-Clercius Or Wheatfall-Schoen-Moore/Echols-Corcoran-Clercius Either way you need Cobb in there as the 6th. I expect Corcoran to start though and one of the new guys to get in only if Demski is still hurt.

Sure, he might offend a few of the ‘bluenoses’ with his cocky stride and musky odours. Oh, he'll never be the darling of the so-called ‘City Fathers’ who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about ‘What's to be done with this Luke Willson’?

100% this rings alarm bells. It seems like one or both could be down long term.

Putting in Houston for Dexter Lawson seems like a no brainer now

Bo Levi Mitchell's first ever start was against the Bombers in 2013. 22/25 for 376 yards, 3 TD 0 INT. I'll never forget that one.

I guess because Logan is now the backup RB they must feel like Weitz helps more on ST than Peterson

I'm not saying he's better or worse, I don't really know, just saying it's hard to win a starting centre job when you immediately **** up a snap every time you get an opportunity

Every time Eli has had a shot at center in pre season he ****** up at least one snap. Not the best way to gain confidence of your coaches and QB and get promoted to starter...

Tommy Condell is a great OC

I don't think Ball was even playing on special teams last game from what I could tell. I could have missed him getting on for some snaps but I know he was on the sidelines for kick coverage late in the game.

Allen ON, Bonds OFF https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/OTTAWA-at-WINNIPEG_AUGUST-14.pdf

Not exactly glowing praise for the OC from Oliveira is it? https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/08/12/48-hour-primer-week-11-vs-ottawa/

I'll sit this one out so I don't ruin it for everyone by winning again

I think he will get in, one way or another. I guess he is a pure safety - four years as a safety at Purdue, went to Broncos camp as a safety, played safety throughout camp and preseason here. Doesn't mean he can't play other DB spots (I'm sure he has lined up as a corner in his life) but it would not be his ideal spot. That said, we don't need to start a Canadian at S. We could bring on Allen at S, move Holm to corner, Griffin to HB and play Kramdi at SAM. Kelly goes back to a 7th DB role. I'd be a lot more comfortable with that than continuing to roll with Kramdi/Kelly at safety and moving Allen to CB or some schlub they sign off the couch.

That is terrifying to me
