According to the Bomber site they just took Dressler off the 6-game so his salary is now counting. Hardrick looks like he is going to be out for a while.

 

OUCH UPDATE:

The Bombers moved RT Jermarcus Hardrick to the six-game injured list on Wednesday and removed WRWeston Dressler. LB Chandler Fenner, who has been replaced by Maurice Leggett in the starting lineup, did take some turns in Leggett’s spot and at defensive back on Wednesday.

 

Maybe, maybe not considering how many players they have taken off the 6 game early.

Who's the 12 year old wearing glasses working for TSN 960?

Als traded for OL Landon Smith when they also traded for Manziel. Today, the Als (Kavis Reed) cut him so as not to have to guarantee his salary. How does Reed even keep his job? What a joke.

Speaking of glasses, that's Sportsnet 960. 😉

We have Foketi. 

Walters absolutely should be making an offer to Landon Rice...  he's an under-rated plug n play guy.  Exactly the kind of guy this regime goes after.

I'd be surprised if Calgary doesn't go after him...

But he's an INT. Rice has a passport to his benefit.

True but that comes at a cost. Do we need additional ratio help right now?

We need additional OL help right now... if Hardrick is done for the season, I'd take Rice over Foketi talent wise

If he's not, Rice is still a better option that Couture as a 6th OL and I really like Couture.  Plus Rice is a max protect specialist

Darren Bauming said this am there isn't much drop off from Hardrick to Foketti.

guess we'll see.

Maybe Landon will go back to Hamilton.

What a stinking mess in Montreal.

I don't trust Bauming's evaluation skills. Sorry. 

I always feel like he's trying to get a PR job for the Bombers. 

 

With Hardrick on the 6 injured list (I missed that), we are probably better off chasing Rice.

False...only thing Rice has over Foketti is Birth Certificate...If we made that move we would have weakened the O-line significantly

Tho I don't know what type of evaluation skill Bauming has I agree with him.

From my observations Foketti is pretty much at par with Hardrick, and I would go on record saying would be a starter on almost every team in the league if he hit open market...we havn't realized how lucky we have been the last 3 years having him stashed away and there is a reason he has ben on the 46 all of last year and this...he's being paid full salary for his insurance policy premiums lol

From Riderville: Caleb Holley has been 6-gamed, and the Riders have signed RB's former defensive back Shaw, From T.0: Argos are wooing Duron Carter in Toronto today, and Als have released promising Canuck OL Landon Rice. FWIW

didnt they just get rice in the tigernaughts deal for johnny foozeball?

Mostly plays tight end.  Has only played guard significantly otherwise.

Stop age shaming that reporter...

God I remember a couple years ago thinking foketi was better than hardrick. I don't think we lose anything talentwise making that change.
