Raydawg Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 9m Cauchy Muamba's status (ankle) will be determined tomorrow. If he is out, Jovon Johnson moves to safety, Marty Markett to corner. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 8m Glenn January (ankle) saw doctors today. His status has yet to be determined. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 7m Chad Simpson (foot) is out this week. Was planned to practice, but complained of pain in his troublesome foot. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 7m Shannon Boatman is out this week. Burke says he's been playing through pain for weeks and his injury is "everything." #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 6m Cory Watson (ham) is out this week, as is OL Marc Parenteau (neck) who took a shot from behind in Edmonton. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 5m DL Mathieu Boulay (ham) is out this week. Terrence Edwards and Carl Volny both took maintenance days today, but should play Friday. #Bombers Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 3m If Cauchy Muamba ends up missing this week, #Bombers will have to start either two Cdn. LBs (H.Muamba/Labbe) or a Cdn. DL (Jake Thomas). Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 1h Max Hall confirms he has been told he will start on Friday night. #Bombers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd prefer to start Thomas at DT rather than have Labbe in. Maybe in rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd prefer to start Thomas at DT rather than have Labbe in. Maybe in rotation. agree with that.... or start 3 NI receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 IMO starting Volny at RB would have the least negative effects MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 We suck either way. Volny can at least block someone in the pass game. Ford is 50-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Boatman is upper body (slow reaction time), mid-body (no bend in the hips) and lower body (no foot speed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Too many injuries. I'd rather they start Thomas at DT for the ratio or Thomas at DT and Volny at rb in a rotation. Don't want to NI LBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Prefer just about any lineup, that doesn't include Cauchy Muamba......this guy is simply the defensive equivalent.....of Brock Ralph. BattleLevel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Wow, we will get destroyed with Labbe-Muamba as WIL-MLB... I'd take 3 NI receivers... activate Carter - Kohlert-Foster-Carter-Etienne... that works But honestly, is Dan West (and I wanted him cut last year...) any worse than Cauchy...? Throw Teague Sherman in there for experience... who knows? Starting Labbe should really get Burke canned. Maybe that's what he wants now... a fresh start as Ottawa's DC.

I am assuming that you misread and are not referring to Labbe as a top five NI LB... This isn't a witchunt for Labbe... its just that we already went down this road in 2011 and it cost us dearly.

He is just too slow, that's the way it goes... He wasn't too slow tracking down a guy and forcing a fumble in Banjo Bowl. Labbe might not be as good as Muamba, but that's no slight. He's still a damn good player who can get the job done. To say that he "cost us dearly" is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think playing Labbe at MLB/OLB didn't cost us dearly late in 2011... well, I guess that's a difference of opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plesius? Probably too fat to play LB in the CFL. With Butler playing LB now you can put him in the 5. That's a hybrid spot though, he doesn't really play in the box, essentially a nickelback or roving safety. He'd be comparable to Brouillette. DB's.

Floyd Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Ah, we're classifying Butler and Brouillette as DBs then... Well, that definitely helps Labbe's chances... on the other hand, Emry, Muamba, Pottinger, McCollough, Yurichuk are better... Black, Carter, etc - they are more along Labbe's level, Tristan Black is probably better though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCullough couldn't even hold a gap last week when the Argos ran the ball down their throats in the 4th quarter. Don't apply for a scouting job with the Bombers this off-season please!
