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

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming  3h3 hours ago

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

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming  3h3 hours ago

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.

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? 

if you're getting a guy in on short notice he's not going to have to know the whole play book, they'll let him do simple things, such as be the tall guy running deep winning one on one matchups.

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

hey if they're putting him in on a days practise he's not going to know the playbook, it'll be dumbed down for him and he won't have to think that hard. 

Run here, jump, catch, go score.

yep that simple enough.

No he isnt, which is why its incredibly impressive that they are putting him in. You arent changing the offense and plays around one new guy like that though.

no, just no. 

To me, it seems like the most difficult/critical thing would be knowing who to block on certain plays....

Block anyone you see not wearing blue (or whit/black) run, turn left and catch the ball... Do touchdown dance

If hes on the lineup, I dont think they will use him on the pass protection. They will use the RBs and Gudino for that.

They will probably line him up on the wideout and use his height advantage.

Schoolyard football, why not! They're mic'ed up. Might confuse the heck out of the opposition and make sense to the average fan.

Tori Gurley will not be at #Bombers walkthrough this morning.

I'll believe Gurley's in ahead of McDuffie when I see it.

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

This guy just tweeted an apology for reading the depth chart wrong.

Also, there's this...

Jeff Hamilton ‏@jeffkhamilton 3m3 minutes ago

Tori Gurley won't be in the #Bombers lineup against B.C. Saturday. He does however come from TOR (+25) to a city that is lightly snowing.

Edited October 7, 20169 yr by sweep the leg

yeah there we go....that's making a lot more sense. There's just no way a guy can be prepared that quickly. He'll be lucky to get in for next week...

Jamie Thomas you are a boob

Well if McDuffie is hurt ... that means we have three scratches (Wild, McDuffie and Gurley) so what gives.

 

McDuffie good to go?

He's listed as a starter, so I'd have to think so.

Probably not going to know until close to kickoff tomorrow...

The definitive answer, ladies and gentlemen......

That was an erroneous tweet this morning. Tori Gurley will not play tomorrow. #Bombers

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."

sounds like the play-calling in the huddle at our annual Thanksgiving touch football game.

?‍?This game might be the last time Bomber fans get to see Richie Leone up close.

“He is an exceptional punter,” Zalud (BC PR punter) said of Leone. “He most definitely can punt better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Field goals, kickoffs, he’s right up there with everybody else as well. He’s what we call a great combo guy.”

Justin Medlock of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers would not only second that motion, he’s the leading proponent and endorser of Leone as the next Jon Ryan, the former Bomber punter who holds the Canadian Football League single-season average record — 50.6 yards — a feat which launched him toward an NFL career with the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks.

?‍?Leone currently has a 50.1 punting average. 1st in net punting avg. 38.6  - In comparison, Medlock has a 43 yard avg. and net - 35.9. good enough for fourth on the net list

jon ryan was the only time i have ever seen fans gets excited to watch a guy punt.  Course he started running some fakes and showed off a little of that former WR speed and that didnt hurt either. 
 I wonder who the better draft pick will end up being. Ryan or Loffler.

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

That's funny suggested this earlier in the year and it was no no no Flanders is a RB can't return kicks lol....long as we get him on the roster somewhere cause he deserves it...?

I would think that would mean mcduffie draws in, but they said that we will be using flanders on KO returns. Its gonna be interesting. 

Disappointed not to see Green back on the roster.  The pass rush has grown weaker since they moved away from the heavy rotation scheme they employed earlier in the season to keep them fresh and motivated.  Corney isn't getting as many reps. as he was earlier either.
