Cgy needs to start the new kid at QB1... Then they'll have a shot. 

They won't though.

Looks like Kamar Jorden isn't playing either.

Bombers add 2 to roster.

NI lber robbie lowes, who was our 4th round pick this year. 

IMP db donovan olumba. 6'2 205. 

Olumba spent 2 years on the cowboys PR. Then went to the browns, then was with the rams. The rams were high on him in 2020 and he took first team reps for a while. Had a crazy pick 6 in an nfl pre season game. 

In college in 30 games over 3 years with the small school of Alderson-Broaddus University he had 25 pass knock downs, 6 picks, 2 pick 6s, blocked 2 kicks, and returned a punt for a td. He transferred to portland state for his senior year starting 15 games, knocking down 7 passes and adding 2 TFL. 

Athletically he's tall, long, with great jumping ability and rangy type speed. Hes got good hands for a db too.

Olumba was signed by Hamilton in June, released in July. Was signed by the Rams in August.

Olumba sounds intriguing.

Interesting. Even more so that he ended up here and not there.

For sure. Seems like he might be a fit for the modern wave of Sam in the cfl. But looks like he could be a candidate at any position. Love the pick up. 

Jeez. How many all-star DBs do we need?

 Boy that sounds like an awful idea lol.

All of them it seems. Imagine one is about go go to the ir or get cut. 

Speaking of which- when is Winston Rose coming back?

Kenny Lawler got a DUI and is suspended by the team until further notice. **** sakes. 

 

 

For **** sakes.

Love Kenny, but you gotta sit a game for that. 

Unacceptable 

That is disappointing as ****. 

Actions have consequences. 

 

Jesus h christ. the season was going so perfect, and now this. F*** sakes.

Was waiting for something to happen.

Honestly, dress Roosevelt for this week, get Lawler the help he needs and let’s move on. This doesn’t need to be a career defining moment. We’ll be okay.

Been a minute since we had Harris win a game by himself. Maybe a more run heavy offense this week, to carry us for a bit...? Maybe more targets for Showtime Sheed...?

Yeah. I'd also be happy to see agudosi too. Some offensive reps for Grant.

I hope Lawler gets his s$%^ together.

I like the way Kenny and the team handled it.

He isn't a write off, but **** did he let his team down.

With the tite alignment teams are playing against us unless buck has some serious progression run plays planned it isnt likely. 

 Demski and adams could carry a lot of heft too. We could If woli is out put Harris at slot and send out Brady or Augustine at back.

I don’t know about how Kenny handled it but I’m happy the team isn’t tolerating this ****

Article said he told the team about it this morning and it sounds like he is going to seek help and is cooperating with the police.

It works for me. You can make a mistake but accept the consequences and make change.

Charleson Hughes never got suspended by the Riders right when he was passed out behind the wheel.

Ya the team getting out in front of this is big. The image of the team is first and foremost 

Wait a minute. Banned substance = Grey Cup. So maybe DUI = Dynasty??

True, but we have our own **** to deal with right now.

I like that the Bombers acted quick and did all the right steps.

 

Yeah big time the Riders didn’t and it became a even bigger distraction

He was suspended for one game by the Riders

Agreed. Not only was it dangerous and irresponsible but as an athlete you never know when it’s going to be your last moment on the field. Decisions like this jeopardize your career. Not impressed.
