JJones seemed to play a fair bit on D, so hopefully he's still in the plan.
Didn't notice Ayers on D at all, seems like a waste to have an american LB just covering kicks.

I agree he should be coming off but the second KR back is really just the lead blocker.

Strev looked like a 1 read QB. Then it was head down and plow into the dline.
Looked ok in the short passing game which is fine sometimes but makes it tough to score when you need to always string together 10 plays to do it -

Doesn't make much sense to me. If he's toxic, you'd send him out.
My feeling. The OC doesn't like him and won't use him. Walters/MOS signed him. They need to challenge the O this week how the challenged the D and DC this week.
No reason why Mitchell shouldn't be on for Cooley. Let him be depth on O, let him be the 2nd returner on kicks.
We have nothing at receiver. Find a spark. Spend a few hours brainstorming on packages to use Mitchell and Wheatfall...play Mitchell at Z ffs.
Totally agree. Someone needs to tell Hogan his O sucks and he needs to use Mitchell

And get some legit receivers...ones who can win one on ones and fight for the ball...and get seperation
There’s even a guy on the PR that has done that. Better than a back up RB who gets no carries

Bonds is watching the ball and stops his feet. Holy ****. Only thing you can't do there is get beat deep.
Bonds was good last year right? He’s getting abused this season

Crazy. My weather app says it is a 7 but I’m not in the south side.
My weather app is always lower than the Govt of Canada site for some reason. https://weather.gc.ca/airquality/pages/mbaq-001_e.html
Would think Apple weather would just pull from there but who knows.

I think we all might just be getting used to it. On my drive to work I could clearly see the smoke in the distance. But I couldn't smell it at all. At the start of the fires it was like I could taste the smoke it was so pungent.
Ya the smoky smell and air quality aren't always linked.
Was really visible looking towards the buildings downtown this morning.
Hope that wind keeps blowing!

I don't find the AQ forecasts to be very reliable. There is a decent wind blowing in from the south and it's already cleared up a bit compared to earlier this morning. I'm not too worried about it.
Hope that wind keeps up and blows it out.
Been a terrible week for air quality here.

At this point, I don't see why they just don't release Mitchell and admit they made a error with that signing.
If he's willing to stick around on the PR may as well keep him.

U would think...but we also have seen out to lunch additions too
Cooley would make some.sense if used for more than 5 snaps...Jones could be used on defense...and teams...and for a Lotta reps...guess we shall soon see
I don’t hate the plan to ground and pound with Brady, Cooley and Strev

My guess is that anyone coming off the practice roster to play would have been shown on the transactions list today so that probably rules out Vibert.
Any guys coming off the 1 game or 6 game lists will be communicated tomorrow.
With Case and Bridges off and Cooley on that means one more American from the IR. Probably Mitchell, maybe Woods or JJones

Bridges moved to the practice roster.
Along with Kornelson and Peterson. Cooley to active roster.

Understand that there's smoke in the air but my wife and I did 18 at Larters today and she's got Sjogren's Syndrome (Google it.) and she had no problems handling the air quality. These pros gave to suck it up...pardon the bad pun.
Did they cancel today too or just yesterday? Injury report looked like they practiced today. Smoke inhalation and air quality isn’t just an in the moment thing. The particles in the air build up in your lungs.

Could get Samson back now. Go for the all Cdn DT dline!

If another loss on Friday, even an ugly loss, doesn't provide the impetus for coaching changes, then we are likely strapped in for the rest of the year with only a dim prospect of making the western playoffs.
You have to think they would look to player changes before coaching changes.

Yeah...but would he have gotten hurt here how he did there?...That's something that can't be determined and not like it was some chronic injury we knew he had and had issues with it here...And in 2023/2024 if he was handed the reigns after ZC got his noodle rocked in Edm....he did have significantly better talent and coaching all around him...so hard to say if he would have got beat up...he never really did when he did play...and his price tage would have allowed us to retain say a Lawler...or go after some legit FA talent.....coulda woulda shoulda I guess eh?
Ya no way to know. Would have loved to find out.
The injuries to the receivers last year would have screwed any QB.

Collaros started the year as the MOP front runner and the fell off HARD and Brady was the guy that dragged the offense along the rest of the year (and has since). Was plain as day what was happening and the Bombers went the "safe" route rather than taking the risk which ultimately would have been better for the team.
Agree with that but with how healthy Brown has been since he left I don't know where we'd be now.
With Brown more money freed up elsewhere, but our oline would have got him killed too.

He wasn't though. That yesr was the start of his fall off. He was still living off his reputation at that point. Brown outperformed collaros that season.
It was the start of his fall off but don't act like he was garbage. He threw for 33 TDs.
Brown played great that season but it would have taken balls to move on from ZC. Clearly too big of a gamble for Walters and OSH.

That's kind of where the league is though. Terrible QB play and development.
Brown vs Collaros gave two distinct paths, but look at Ottawa. Brown is turning out to be their Drew Willy. He's been healthy less than Collaros.
Matt Shiltz has started games for 4 different CFL teams since the 2020 shutdown.
Hamilton and Sask are resurgent on guys who are pushing 40 who haven't been healthy or consistent since before 2020.
Montreal rolled with the guy who can't play a quarter without aggravating his hamstring. Great player, but is he going to be the guy who can only play 10-12 games a season like Dickenson?
Edmonton pushed all-in on Ford who is nowhere near ready, if he ever could be with his arm.
BC is paying Rourke an amount he could probably never out play.
Calgary is on the up slope of the VAJ rollercoaster.
The only way to make sure you have a basic floor level of QB play in this league is to sign MBT.
This is it. There is no QB in the league right now who is consistently good and healthy.

we never really went Nichols to Zach... Nichols was hurt and streveler took over from him for the better part of the back half of the season, but he also got the ankle injury. Collaros started 1 game in the regular season in 2019 and then in the playoffs split time with Streveler and both leaned on Andrew Harris anyway.
The difference in 2019 were things like moving Alexander to safety, bringing in Taylor at halfback and Maston at SAM and there was another DB came in who I can't remember his name right now... those were the key moves in making 2019 a championship team. solidified the weakness of the defence and turned them into monsters.
Yes, let's do that again

Baileu and WOLI would offer more on roster than Corcoran...Stearns or Magic Feet tho
Bailey has been out of football for over a year and Woli is always hurt.
2019-2022 Bailey and Woli would be great to have back but that's not how time works.
2 minutes ago, 17to85 said:Dickenson went out and revamped the roster though... what's osh doing? Doubling down on Willie and Jake and collaros?
Dicky also went all in Maier McCheese for a few years.
Easy to blow up the roster when you win 5 and 6 games the previous 2 years.

Haha they tried on that Vaval TD but Cooley rightfully go the **** out of the way that time.
