Andrew Harris (ankle) is in pads and looking like a full participant at #Bombers practice today. The 29-year-old has missed three games.

Ian Wild (upper-body), who returned last week after missing two games, is a non-participant at #Bombers practice today.

Bruce Johnson, who left Friday's game and did not return (upper-body), is back with the #Bombers first-team defence today.

Timothy Flanders running with the #Bombers first-team O. Andrew Harris is running hard, but to me, he does not look as fast as normal.

O'Shea says the hope for receiver Darvin Adams (injured shoulder July 28) is to return after the #Bombers' Week 18 bye.

Call it blind optimism but the fact that MOS didnt come right out and say `We`re happy with the group we have` or something to that effect is encouraging. I would echo the majority of us who would love to see Tori Gurley here, I think he could be the stretch guy were have been looking for for a while now.

As far as any character concerns go, who knows maybe it was the entirety of the group or one specific individual who was causing the friction there and separately they can all function on other teams.

Some notes from today:

 

Jeff Hamilton ‏@jeffkhamilton  3h3 hours agoWinnipeg, Manitoba

Consider Andrew Harris good to go against Lions Saturday. Team hasn't declared him the starter but said he's ready. #Bombers

 

Also, Heath worked with the 1s today in place of healthy Bruce Johnson, who moves to the 2s.....

Good to hear Harris likely starting...he's a workhorse for our O and can will them to a win if the defense holds.

I still want the Bombers to put both Harris and Flanders this game and onwards.

Agreed, but if I had to choose, I'd take Harris every day of the week.

No doubt.

Hopefully Harris has a little extra motivation to (finally) play his former mates...

Get Gurley in the line-up......orrrr will it be a little much getting him oriented that quick...If he isn't I want to see him in Vancouver next game..

Word is McDuffie scratched again, and Gurley will actually be in the line up....

interesting they have gurley behind dressler

Here's your route Tori, it ends in the endzone with you blowing kisses to the camera.

Where did you see that?

I don't see how Gurley could be in the lineup with zero days of practice but I guess we'll see

He just got here within the last hour or so.

Me throw you ball.

You catch ball.

Run.

Despite reports to the contrary Tori Gurley will be in #Bombers lineup Saturday against #BCLions. #CFL

 

 

Sorry guys -- shoulda included that initially. I swear I wasn't just making **** up.........this time

The guy is from Hamilton probably saw he was on 46 and thinks he will be in.

Possibly, but then Penton said (paraphrasing) "This would make sense, as McDuffie was on the periphery all week at practice".......so that's where I'm getting my "Gurley in, Duff Man out" from...

Penton also said Flanders will be returning kickoffs so that probably indicates McDuffie is not in the lineup

It is beyond un real if gurley steps in on this level of notice and does any thing. It says a TON about him that they would stick him right into the line up.

how hard does it have to be for Gurley? Just say "you're tall, go run down the sidelines and we'll put the ball up for you to go win."

Might not know anything for sure up until right before kickoff, but will be interesting.....MOS doesn't tip his cards until he's forced to.

Offenses arent by any means that simple. A wr runs the wrong route on a timing pass and the qb throws a pick 6. Breaks the wrong way, runs the route too deep or not deep enough etc. Offensive plays are designed to create openings, and set up other variations of the same play. You dont just have one wr run deep every play, a side from the fact they'd burn out in no time flat. Have you seen the size of a modern football play book on offense?

Why do we even employ coaches if it's that easy?
