But of course 

hey, if we were gonna lose to Edmonton anyhow, it's a good chance to rest some bodies that are otherwise dinged...

This is a big game though. Will decide the series.

I'm expecting big things from Augustine behind this o-line. He's looked really good in limited action. 

I think Sask made a mistake letting him go.

Also this forces Lapo to not neuter Streveler by designing an offence where every 3rd throw is within 2 yards of the LOS and 75% of them are to Harris.

it's absolutely a big game....but it's also a game we're more than likely going to lose. We're just way too undermanned right now.

why tho...Edm has beat Toronto and BC and barely squeeked by Ottawa...They beat Montreal i the beginning of the season, but against good teams..Us..Cgy and the new improved  Als, and yup I consider them good, they are winless .

So why are they this insurmountable opponent?...they have feasted on the bottom 2 teams...and are under .500 against teams .500 or better

If harris cant go, id start John Santiago and have augustine as a back up still. He has looked good in clean up, but our RB useage is too  important to put entirely on augustine. I would also weave in Demski with more run plays. 

But look at harris' career. Too soon to write off if he will play or not. The guy is a tank and rarely misses games.

Mike O'Shea says RB Andrew Harris is fine. He didn't want to sit out rest of practice after banging up his right arm, but coach decided to let some others take the reps. "He's a bit of a rep hog when he's out here." #Bombers #CFL

Cue the board meltdown about Osh 'lying' to us...

Andrew Harris was getting his right arm looked at by athletic therapist Al Couture after getting banged up in a drill with other running backs. Looks like he's heading back in though #Bombers #CFl

 

 

Sounds like Harris wanting to go back in is legit 

Bauming is always quick with the bad news, slow with any info that may take some eyes off his Twitter feed 

Yeah Edmonton is a good team, but we can beat them. The rely a lot on getting pressure on the opposing QBs and we have a team that should be able to scheme around that. We got a chance, gotta do what they always do. Minimize mistakes and capitalize on their own opportunities.

We're playing those mind games together
Moving the yardsticks, planting the seeds
Playing the MOS guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, rumours on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda poster dudes lifting the veil
Doing the MOS guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail

Spin is the answer and you know that for sure
Spin is more power
You got to let it, you gotta let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the head coach, out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our rosters in space and in time

Edm has had the best Ol in the league so far this year. Especially against the pass rush. But if any Dl is gonna get to them, its us. our combination of Size and athleticism on the edge with an interior you have to double and pray on is ideal. 

The big thing will be to again limit the moes ability to score majors. Harris has allways struggled to find the end zone and thats what our D is designed to do. If we dont give up long scoring plays we will be in good shape. 

 

I think our fully (or even mostly) healthy team vs Edm has no issues whatsoever.....but this week just feels like we're a shell of who we normally would be. The injury bug, as bad as it's been this year, hasn't really hampered our win/loss record, but I think this is the week where we really start to notice it...

ha ha I need to be talked off a ledge, but as much of a fan of Streveler as I am (seriously...) I just think he's going to have a world of trouble this week. Interceptions galore....D is going to do their part to keep things close, but the offense is gonna have a world of trouble, and people are going to realize how important Matt Nichols is. I dunno...just a gut feeling. I really want Streveler do do well, but I'm not sure the guy will be able to do it.
