Definitely the top rookie for us so far this season!

They got a first down. We're screwed!

Love the change in arm slot by ZC on that TD throw and the hurry up after the previous play

Schoen strong

I was thinking that too. The whistle came really late though. Ref needs to blow that down sooner when the QB is fully wrapped up.

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder! The punctuation is different on our depth chart and it slipped past me. You're totally right.

Yeah it's just a rarity to see the same player as a DA and a DN (from the few rosters I've seen anyways).

That makes sense, thanks! I understood the subbing for Canadians part but was puzzled why they used the DA on him too. But I guess that's because they have him behind a Global rather than another American

The ALLCAPS' use of the Nationalized American puzzles me. Looks like they have 5 Designated Canadians on defense but only Wakefield as a Nationalized American and he's also listed as a Designated American. My head is spinning, and I've only covered three of the six categories of player on the roster (in addition to Canadians, Globals, and players with Quarterback passports)! CFL needs to clean up these overly complex roster rules.

I was thinking the same. The questions were pretty direct and the first felt insensitive to me. Brown exudes leadership in what must be one of the most difficult situations of his life. I hope being around the team is helpful for him in his grieving.

Dru Brown's Dad passed suddenly last week. There's an interview with him on the Bombers site from practice today. ❤️ to him and family https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/07/12/dru-brown-july-12/

According to the Free Press, Brown also missed Friday's game for non-football reasons (I guess we just went with two QBs). I hope everything is okay for him. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/2023/07/11/back-up-to-speed

The Awe-Phillion Douchebag Duo are...

I like the switch from the kiss cam to the hug cam a lot. Not assuming that two people that present as opposite genders are partners that would kiss, whereas hugging could be friends, family, partners, other Bomber fans...

This is great. Thanks, @wbbfan! Could you help me understand how the expected gain is calculated? Is it assuming getting a first down on the play, getting a first down on the set of downs remaining before a punt, season averages for that particular player, or something different entirely?

We should have fired him 5 years ago so this travesty wouldn't have occurred 😅

I'm guessing Agudosi would come back in if Grant has to sit, since offense + returning would likely be too high a rep count for McRae

I rather dislike whiny Dickenson but even he pulled Awe after his garbage play on the first down of victory formation

1. McRae -- player of the game. He's not coming off the roster anytime soon. Love the game of chicken he played on the FG return. One more cut and he was gone -- just missed the read on Kelly's block. 2. Bailey -- Some hard fought yardage and a TD. 3. Houston – The pick. HH. The jumbo package of 2,100lbs and 10 minutes grinding out the yards Douchebag of the game and forever — Awe for his victory formation antics

Well put! I didn't realize Briggs was older (even though it would be a simple check on the website) than Gauthier. I've just found it interesting that Gauthier as the MIKE body type seems to get into games on passing downs more than Briggs. But perhaps that's because we have Bighill effectively playing WIL or even safety on those downs? And yes -- that Gauthier tackle was perhaps the most critical play in breaking our Cup drought during that playoff run.

And then a blip of Drew Tate before the long tenure of BLM. Quite a run indeed!

I like the move to Threads and away from Elon Musk's dystopia but I don't like this "starting lineup" format they are using this year where they don't show the additions and subtractions from the roster. I know we can still find the PDF on their site but that takes more work. As for the depth chart itself... - Going to miss Gauthier. Hopefully Briggs will have a good game. He seemed to be ahead of Gauthier a season or two ago (if I recall correctly he started at WIL for a spell) but then got surpassed. - I continue to be amused that they are giving Thomas a secondary OL number even though we're rostering 7 OL - Love keeping McRae on the roster I think Schoen is probably the closest to this and seems to have ability to high point the ball along with his amazing route running etc.

BA was chasing with Holm on the previous play and then beautiful bait on that pick

He's so dull
