On Offence
- O line same as last week with Foketi at RT
- Simonise got Adams' reps;
- LaFrance got Harris' reps;
- Washington got all reps with 1st team...Lankford didn't get any with first team while I was there....leads me to believe that if either Adams or Dressler can't go...Washington draws in with Lankford off the game day roster;
- My sense is that Adam's will be good to go...while Simonise took Adams' scrimmage reps...they didn't have him taking part in 1st team offence drills while punt team was scrimmaging...he and the other reserve receivers were tending to their scout team duties on punt coverage...
- Dressler's participation in practise was similar to the past two weeks...helping out LaPo with drills...not sure he draws in...
- Nichols threw a bad pick to Priester (playing the scout team)
- Streveler moved the ball well against 1st team D hitting a home run deep shot to Lankford over Fogg...

On D
- Bryant got 1 team reps at tackle
- D Line was Roh, Bryant, Nevis, Okpalaugo (Thomas rotating in...didn't see Poop Johnson rotating in)
- Secondary was the same as last week
- Fenner in at SAM for Leggett
- Gaitor came in on some packages as extra DB...didn't see Cooper coming on as extra DB
- Randle subbed himself out intermittently with Priester coming on...doesn't look serious

Based on how they practised today, it appears as one lineup change will be Washington on for Lankford (Dressler was on the game day roster last week); another will be Jeffcoat coming off...not sure who comes on in place of Jeffcoat...maybe Gaitor

Fenner and Wild were on punt team...leading me to believe they'll continue to be on the roster as DI's...not sure if an extra DB like Gaitor will come on...if so...the other DI will likely be a choice between Poop Johnson and the extra DB.  

Based on the way they practised...it doesn't look like they're too concerned that Leggett won't be ready to go...I based this on the fact they kept Fenner on punt team...not likely that they would have him on punt and kick team and starting SAM...

They still have one full practise day left...plenty of time to change up D and ST if Legget can't go

FWIW...the team looked very loose...not especially as sharp as I've seen them in past practises...but that's a subjective opinion...others who attended may feel differently

Maybe we shouldn’t call out someone’s offense when ours is just as crappy. Possibly even worse the past few games. 

#realist

Our offence is ranked: 

1st - Total points (Sask - 5th)

5th - Passing Yards (Sask - 9th)

3rd - Passing TDs (Sask - 8th)

6th - Time of Possession (Sask 5th)

1st - Rushing Yards (Sask 2nd)

1st - Rushing TDs (Sask 9th)

3rd - Sacks Allowed (Sask 1st)

3rd - Turnovers (Sask 4th)

 

So, out of 8 categories that CFL.ca tracks, the Bombers are first in 3, and ahead of Saskatchewan in 6 of the 8. 

But, please, tell me more about how crappy our offence is compared to Saskatchewan's....

Do they separate those stats to which QB’s attained them for their team ?

You can certainly look them up on CFL.ca. 

 

Today at practice were working with crowd noise pumps in..and some interesting ways to combat it..Strev seen some time with it as well...possible offensive tweaks me thinks

Booch, NorthernSkunk is going to get too excited with this info and might hurt himself. Please think of the posters!!

Hahaha...maybe he will sprain his digits and lay off the keyboard for a bit hahaha..I kid..I kid

Streveler getting this much 1st team practising is going to bother some of Nichols fans......... Myself, I hope both Nichols and Streveler show up on Sunday ready to win !

There had better be some changes. The offence has been flaccid for too long and the Bomber offence will be facing one of the best defensive coaches in the CFL

Look for some tempo this week

Not sure I'm all that excited about our no huddle offence anymore...  almost feel like its better to slow things down a bit right now

Disagree.  Stopping the defense from making subs is huge.  I'm not sure I'm very confident in their ability to run it though considering a basic pass and catch is an adventure right now.

That's what I mean - the team looked rattled on the no huddle plays last game...

Slow it down while playing in Regina ?......why so the fans can yell even more stupid krap at the top of their lungs trying to help their team with a procedure call........we gotta do some tempo stuff.... if they fake injuries we can laugh at them again,  or the tempo works....

What is the worst restaurant in Regina,  I got a supper bet to make before the game with the Regina relatives.

I'm sure there are some. I don't make a habit of going to any of them so I can't help you with that.  I'm sure somebody will pipe in soon and say they all suck because they are in Regina, or something halfwit along those lines

Insulting the opposition team, their fans and their city is par for the course. For example, when I was passing through Regina a few months ago, we stopped at Costco there for gas and to stretch our legs. The wife (she who will be obeyed) found an item she liked and we lined up at the cashier. The lady ahead of us was a pretty average (for Saskatchewan) looking gal but when she got to the checkout she smiled at the cashier, the scanner immediately rang up a set of cookware..

 With the Bombers going to hurry up offense it will cause sudden, unexplainable injuries to the defensive lineman of the Riders.

All restaurants in Regina suck because they are in Regina.

Not sure about the worse - but if you would a great steak and what I believe is one of the worlds best Caesar Salads go to "The Diplomat" (http://thediplomatsteakhouse.com/). I hit it every time I am in Regina which these days is not all that often.

Golf's on Victoria Ave is pretty good too.

If the Copper Kettle downtown is still around, they used to be pretty good.

Golf's is the best steak in town, good prime rib too.  Diplomat is 1B, very good also. Only about a block apart on Victoria ave.   Copper Kettle has good pizza, Trifons is my favorite
