9 catches on 21 passes, 95 yards no tds 5 games. I dont suspect he is highly paid but I feel we'd be better served giving some one like thompkins a look, or bringing back denmark, heck bring in backari grant and start an extra NI. 

Bowman is a guy you need to involve and target a lot to get any thing out of and even then we all know his struggles with his hands. 

They have some decent looking receivers on the practice roster. This talk that they NEVER bring in good receivers is ridiculous.

When we have decent looking receivers sitting on the pr...guys like Simonise who would luv to get a start... then staying with a dud that should be a stud, is looking very much like the trademark of this club...Potential talent is either let go or left to languish on the pr till they want out...Somebody better get this thing by the horns in short order or the repetition of previous years failures are on the horizon...if not already here....IF I see another performance from Bowman like we've witnessed up till now in the Argo's back to back...someone should get their arse kicked..Time to show up Bowman

well if a guy isnt going to play for more then a week you may as well 6 game him. Have a chance to save that money from the cap. Plus we always see every kind of silliness with the IR and info about players injuries. Hes week to week we will re evaluate him next week should be back soon x6 then done for the season etc. 

It would make more sense to just release him if he isn't going to play rather than pay a guy to do nothing. IIRC players who are on the 6 game can't attend meetings as well as practice for the first 4 weeks.

Chris Matthews is currently a free agent.

Did someone just bring up the name Chris Matthews?

...a quiver just went down my leg...

I literally can't think of one good import receiver that Walters has recruited. Darvin Adams came from Toronto, but he was fairly unheradled (much like Terrance Edwards) but if there's someone else please name them.

Practice squad guys who haven't played in an actual game don't count.

Was someone scratching your ear at the time?

Why don't we bring back Romby Bryant, while we are at it.............

Terrell Owens is available.  Maybe we could convert Pacman Jones to receiver...?

It was a bad signing to begin with, and he’s been significantly worse than I expected. 

I would put Flanders in for Bowman ASAP.

Why? Demski is doing everything that Flanders did last year. We don't need another RB on the roster. If Bowman needs to be replaced, replace him with an actual receiver from the PR. Washington or Thompkins. 

I'm not convinced that Bowman needs to go, it's not like he's been dropping balls. We really don't know if he's not getting open without studying the film. Lapo just needs to run some plays for him and Nichols needs to actually hit him instead of running 100 swing passes behind the line of scrimmage for Demski.

If we were 4-1 or 5-0 we wouldn't be talking about whether Adarius Bowman caught one pass or 10, but at 2-3 the coaching staff needs to take a long look at some changes. Bowman needs to show production soon...whether he is part of the problem or not.

Tighter coverage on any and all receivers when there isn’t the real threat of a vertical attack on the DBs.

I've tried to get some idea of where the defensive backfield lines up.... for all of the teams.

I can't really see much difference. lots of them have them ten yards or so from the line.

I can't tell where the safety is he's off the screen.

I think it's not so much where they line up, but what they do when the play starts. maybe.

somebody help me out here.

also, it would be good for tsn to show a big picture sometimes that shows every player.

I need this for my post game analysis 😂

Bowman, 32, inks a one-year deal worth a reported $140k — friendly numbers all around for #Bombers GM Kyle Walters.

thats a big pay to play decoy

trade him for Cunningham 🙂

I'd love Cunningham, liked his play thus far in his cfl career with Montreal.

What other way can our receiving corps improve?? Bring in guys to push the people we already have.  That's the only way we will get better.

Demski runs East-West far too much. He doesn't do "everything" that Flanders did, Flanders is a much better player than Demski just with the wrong passport.

Bowman is completely done, he didn't play well with Edmonton last year either. He's not dropping the ball because he's not being targeted. He made one catch last week, to go along with one drop and one offside penalty. I would be shocked if he's still in the lineup for us passed Labour Day.

No you do it to keep their rights... You can revoke them from the list at no cost before that if they are ready. if they dont end up being ready it saves you a bit of cap space. 

As far as i know injured players can go to meetings still...

Using the Hurl rationale.......would conclude that Bowman is not here to catch passes.,....

Why can't they go to meetings? They're part of the team. 

I haven't watched Bowman play so I'm not sure if it's the play selection or him giving up on routes or if the QB is just not looking his way.   They *should* have some quick outs designed for him that they can go to early in games.  I'd give the guy a few more games and if he's still not producing then bring in the next guy for a look.

Hes the ideal type of guy to toss iso fades to in the red zone. 43% hook up route on attempts to him is pretty dismal though.

He's never been good at catching the ball on fades and corners.  His best routes are ones into the field.

hes never been good at catching the ball in general to be fair. You can run him on a crosser over the middle and have some one like woli or adams fade.
