Much as I am a fan of #33, apart from the ratio thingie, I do not see us losing much at all, and to speak heresy, we may be even a tad better at the RB position.

To believe this, is to completely misunderstand how good Andrew Harris is, and how important he's been to winning this year...

Heath first team? yikes.

goodbye annointment hello competement.

Yer darn dittally tootin!

As much as I prefer Harris, Flanders is a quality RB.

With the recent injuries, we likely start 2 NI WR anyhow. Dressler/Denmark/Mayo/JFG/Kolhert.

Heath may replace Johnson or perhaps they dress an extra db.

Like this "week of game" thread, good idea Noeller.

That'd make Richards the first guy off the bench -- but I wonder who would be the emergency WR7 behind him? Fogg maybe, or Lochard if we need a Canadian?  Perhaps some Tuck in TE sets?

We needed all seven receivers to beat Toronto, so it's not too far-fetched to think we might have to go that deep again.

@Calgary, Bakari Grant and Junior Turner is out of this game. They we're move to 6-game IR.

Junior Turner out is BIG for us - he's a force in the middle, but his injury will also cause Calgary to shuffle the ratio, since his backup is suspended.

 

Then again, Bergman being back in for them means they're lose an American on the OL so ... maybe I spoke too soon.

We need all the help we can get.

English? 

You don't acquire the league leader in interceptions then put him on the bench. Not fair to the player who has obviously been producing at a high level all season.

You can't be serious. They play in the same league but they are not in the same league.

If McDuffie can't go, who helps out Fogg with return duties?  Please, don't say Dressler.

I would believe it would be Fogg with some help with Leggett. So I think we DI a DB just in case of injury.

Weston Dressler and Ryan Smith taking part early. The latter is catching balls. Smith injured his thumb a couple weeks back. #Bombers #CFL

Looks like Addison Richards is banged up again. He took first-team reps yesterday. #Bombers

I think this makes Addison Richards officially injury prone; he hasn't been able to participate for two years now due to always being injured and of course his development hasn't happened due to injury's as well.... Demski could be on his way out in Sask as it sounds like he isn't fitting well with Chris Jones, hopefully that happens and we can replace Addison with Demski

Personally I think we move on from Richards....What a useless pic...and we passed on Durant for this injury waiting to happen...Send him back to Saskabush and go after Demski when his contract is up in Jonesville.

how do you get injured if you never even catch any passes?

and why do we always get stuck with these guys.

If football doesn't work out for Richards, he can always find work as a mannequin.

Harris is a much better pass catcher out of the back field and pass blocker. Hes also consistently been a top the league in rushing for years. Weve seen lots of guys show flashes especially early then disappear at rb. nic grigsby looked very similar in his first game.

Apparently athletes visualizing actions in play can be almost as good as actual repetition,so maybe Richards visualized himself making a catch and then being injured as a result.
