Positive sign for Ryan Smith and his injured thumb ? #Bombers receiver is catching balls and practicing for the first time since Banjo Bowl.

Bob Irving‏ @BobIrvingCJOB
No andrew harris but ryan smith and quincy mcduffie are practicing with blue bombers

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming
Still no Andrew Harris or Khalil Bass, but Dressler, Smith Cole, Cummings, and Corney are all back precticing today. #Bombers

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming
Quincy McDuffie is back practicing today after getting nicked-up in the game, but neither he nor Smith are working with the first-team O.

The above injury reports are correct.  I would add that Wild, Hurl and A. Richards did not practise either.  Posey is back practising with scout D...this was a pad-less practise

Offence lined up as follows (from left to right)

     Mayo, Dressler, Flanders, Gudino, Denmark, Kohlert

DBs lined up as follows (from left to right as you would see on depth chart)

     Adams, Johnson, Loffler Fogg, Randle

It should be noted that Randle and Adams each took turns at boundary and field...Frederick also took reps with first team at corner (field and boundary) rotating both Randle and Adams out...

LB's
     Burnett at WIL for Wild;
     Knox at MLB for Bass;
     Leggett at SAM

O and Dlines remain unchanged from last week
 

Of note: Heath got first team work with punt return, and punt cover team...this may be an indication that he draws in as a DI this week

Notable plays from practise

 - Mayo caught 2 long passes (30+ yards) from Davis and Nichols
 - Heath picked KG
 - Posey caused fumble;
 - Keith Lewis (39) picked Nichols
 - Eric Martin got some reps with punt return team (not as many as Heath)
 - towards the end of practise, Smith did get reps with first team taking out Mayo.....very few
 - McDuffie caught some punts; but was not involved in the O at all
 - about one hour into practise, Smith and MOS were talking at mid-field...Smith removed his glove from his hand and they both         looked at his thumb
 - team still does pushups when there's a penalty...Wade and Kyle were there...Kyle joined in and did his share of pushups...Wade didn't..lol

- Davis remains 2nd at QB depth

I can't for the life of me understand why people are hard on Adams. The guy had one Mediocre game and all of a sudden he should be benched lol. He just had two great games in a row, but some think he'll be benched by the end of the year? lol.

Internet be internetting.

Johnson alternates, throughout a game, making plays and getting beat badly. That guy whiffs on a LOT of open-field tackles. Adams has the ability, but has been mostly solid since his return. It was Randle last week that got picked on pretty badly.

Adams had a long lay off due to injury, he's just finished his preseason games, he'll be back to form, you can already see the flashes of it too. Randle too coming off injury we shouldn't be surprised he had some rough moments last game. They will be fine I have no worries about that. 

Adams held holley to a big fat 0 in the banjo bowl. And then had a great game against TO, almost getting a pick.

Randle did struggle a bit. But I'm not about to blame him for that long TD he gave up where Westermen completely whiffed on the sack and WR had time to run the longest post corner route I've ever seen.

Agreed, he might also be the best HB in the league at breaking up those WR screen passes. He's always right there ready to make a tackle for a loss or break up the play all together.

Yup. Seems to be the case. Nothing wrong with practise reports buy maybe let's not talk about the scheme and such. 

c'mon guys...Dickenson and every other co-ordinator know what we're running...and our practises are open to the public...that's not the only time we've used the formation I refer to above; I mentioned it specifically to give others an idea what it looks like, (it was the best video example I could think of)...but I appreciate what you're saying...I wouldn't ever disclose gadget plays etc that other teams may never have seen us run...if the mods want to delete it...I have no objection

Looks like Cole missed practice again today.

Who's the Nebraska guy we picked up?  Martin?  Does he get a shot in the rotation this week?

No, this is all on you.

Calgary had no idea where to find game tape on the Bombers before you put that youtube link up.

That would require deliberate repetition.

T.J. Heath is also taking some reps at kick returner. If McDuffie is out; Heath, Fogg, Feoli-Gudino, and Leggett are options there. #Bombers

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming
T.J. Heath enters the #Bombers first-team D as they roll out their dime package, aka six DBs.

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming
Starting rush end Justin Cole is a non-participant on Day 3 of #Bombers practice, as he was on Day 1 as well.

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming
O'Shea will not make any determination on #Bombers players with injury status in question: Andrew Harris, McDuffie, Wild, Richards.

As I mentioned in the report for Sept 21...Eric Martin (52) was getting reps with ST's punt return unit...if Cole can't go, seems likely that Martin comes into DI role based on what I saw yesterday, and that Green takes Cole's regular roster spot.

Edited September 22, 20169 yr by Slingin Sammy

FWIW, O'Shea said Justin Cole will be ok.

Actually Sam, I liked your practise report. If what you wrote is for real or not, is the Calgary coaches problem. Now let's say they take what you allegedly observed and practised to counter those plays. Who's to say our Blue would even run those plays in a game. Maybe your throwing the Stamps off their plans. Wahaha ha. It's like the ol' rope a dope. Let the stamps offence get tired out by marching the ball up the field, and when they are exhausted, "Whammo". We hit em where it hurts. 

Maybe our coaches are just that smrt. Like Ditka smart. But Canadian.

Don't worry about information from practice being leaked to the Stamps.  It's all being handled internally.

I'd like to see him get a shot on D.  He's a pretty explosive dude.

But I like Cole as well, so if he's good to go, cool... But if he's still not practicing, you have to wonder how healthy he is.

Cole has been excellent, glad they waited for him to recuperate.  Green has looked better with every game, so keeping him over Hubbard looks to have been a good decision.  Corney has kind of leveled off imo, effort is there but results are inconsistant, still shows well for a first year player though.  If he sticks with the CFL long-term I can see him becoming a Canadian version of John Chick.
