If Johnson does not dress will we find out if Roc has turned the corner? Will we finally see a double running back set if Thorpe can't go?

Johnson is back practicing but not with the first team Thorpe is not practising today ..... small nick Source 1290 Tuesday morning

If we are just using Hurl to fill gaps why not move Trent Corney to MLB? He could not be any slower than Hurl in pass protection, could he? Why is a team with one of the greatest MLB's of all time utterly unable to solve that position after MOS's 3 year reign here?

how are you sure ... never heard of that rule

Sorry you are right .... I was quoting TSN I think in the 4th quarter when they were 9 to 3 .... there must have been according to you 3 more subsequent penalties in our favor .... maybe they evened them up late in the game much as we saw in a badly called hockey game BTW where did you find your box score?

I don't know the exact stats but we must be leading the league in points against, somerthing well over 30 points per game but somehow we are 4 & 2 .... time for the D to tighten up ... for now: HOORAY!!!!! WE ARE FINDING WAYS TO WIN .... THANKYOU

I didn't see any Bomber get really wacked tonight in Ottawa .... any body notice any of the Blue getting nicked up tonight? I am really looking forward to Johnson getting back into the secondary next week.

I am already onto next Saturday's game (while I quietly celebrate tonight's victory). Its time to finally dominate and win big; Hammy is going to be playing desperate and will be giving its all trying to get its pride back. With its back against the wall they could be vicious. Still if we are going to be a force this year its time to finally strut our stuff. No more close encounters. Its time to build some steam in our engine. We need to focus and concentrate ... we can not afford to take the Cats lightly

HH to JFG for coming into his own tonight .... a sure handed reliable receiver that the team could depend on tonight ib clutch situations .... cheers

I am a long term mystic believing CFL REFS are somehow biased (CFL directed) against our Blue .... most of the time I decide I have been hallucinating and the perceived bias is just my homer mentality but there are times when it seems it was actually unfair. Tonight with the penalties 9-3 favoring Ottawa I really wondered .... especially after the hands to the face called on Goosen .... so much goes on in the trenches that I wondered how it was called seemingly unevenly ... But as my old hockey coach used to preach to us, you have to play better than the referees' adversity ... and tonight the Bombers did just that .... YIPEE!!!

I wonder if we had put Dressler on the six earlier whether we would have had the cap room to go after McDuffie .... MOS sang his high praises on 1290 today

but you have a limit of how many you can take off the six

I don't see it as a knee jerk reaction .... I see a proactive commissioner and thats a very good thing ... proactive isn't perfection just progress that needs multiple revisions over time, each one an incremental improvement

That is not the worst looking injury list i have ever seen but 4 of 7 are starters on defense

One game 34 Briggs, Jesse LB 31 Leggett, Maurice DB 86 Richards, Addison WR 6 game NAME 4 Gauthier, Shayne LB 25 Johnson, Bruce DB 54 Okpalaugo, Tristan DE 38 Wild, Ian

On Tsn @ 6pm Nichols sang Lapo's praises to high heaven

Wild flies around the field and seems to get injured laying it on the line ... by contrast Hurl seems late for everything and seldom is his body in jeopardy

really : Wild Johnson Leggett all back to full health?

QB Harris & Ottawa's offence have great stats but keep losing ... is this the week they start to turn it around?

The way Medlock has kicked recently I am wondering if he is working his way through an injury or a pull

Before all this "upper body injury .... lower body... " we as fans used to know a lot more about whats going on ... perhaps we as posters can become better detectives Lets start with the Dressler injury: is it worth a DI spot for him to just hold for Medlock ... if not will a QB hold for Medlock in Ottawa?

already cited in another thread this is an excellent discussion of our tackling: https://bomberbuzz.com/2017/07/28/bombers-defensive-backs-struggle-to-defend-run-against-alouettes/amp/

So why are we not moving Knox to the middle?

We have been lit up for an awful lot of points this season .... outside of missing two starting LBs and a starting DB, and a downgrade at MLB has anything else changed on our defense? Last year we strippped the ball with great regularity ... now I am wondering if we are putting the same energy into our tackling .... but how could that have changed? Is our ball hawking turnover producing coming back when we get our D starters back? That is what will make us champions I think....

well look how many first downs we got under that umbrella last night
