Frequently, especially when I'm busy, I like to separate fact from opinion. What makes this site so enjoyable is the opinions and disagreements that we find from our members. However sometimes I just am not interested in opinion. I want to know what's changing for our next game. New injuries, recovering from past injuries, possible replacements and other moves the coaches might make is all that really matters to me sometimes.

I do not know what we all like best but the most important thing for me is the injury report and personnel changes. I am mainly interested in the Bombers but I don't mind hearing about what's happening around the league. So here goes: as a start.

"Attention now turns to Demski's injury, this O can't afford to lose anyone let alone him for considerable time"

"I don’t think it’ll be too serious. He was walking on it no boot or any thing. Worst case I would think a high ankle sprain that takes a couple weeks. "

So if Demski is out for the next game how do we change our lineup?

One of my chief interests is how Brandon Alexander is coming along. Has anybody seen him out on the practice field in the last week or so?

Did anyone notice if any of our other starters besides Demski got a little nicked up on Friday night?

Now I realize some of this is conjecture but we do have some excellent sleuths on this site, people who can see what MOS and the gang don't want to say. I would just like to know sooner than when we publish the game day roster.

I just saw this,they go from a couple games now to the 6 game? Maybe anothwr opinion changed things? Does their salary go against the cap if they're 6 gamed?

if they stay for the full 6 games, it doesn't...... but they can pull him off there early and then the salary will count.

A couple weeks? That wouldn't be so bad. I assumed it was much worse. 

 

I'm glad that Lalji was clear that Ford would be starting at QB. 

If the tweet just said "Ford starting" then it could mean that Jones decided to try him at long snapper or cover team gunner.

Their salary does not count against the cap if they stay out the six games. I bet he could come back earlier (guessing), which means his full salary would count for each of the games he missed. 

But, I suspect this is to open up a roster spot and hedge in case he is gone six.

Bond...Maybe Ibisi?..

Iirc bond came from some where else idk if he played though. After checking bond started 2 nfl games before coming north and technically wasn’t a rookie. Damn Benedict ibis Is a deep cut. Maybe right though. 
 
 Speaking of I wonder if he’s in shape. 31 and not too much wear it we need a ground moving guard. 
 

My last ever Fantaseh team before they shut down was The Benedict Ibisi All Stars..... loved that guy. 

Pretty sure Bond was a Gapper before he came to Wpg, right?

Think he only played here in 2002 after Brandon Dyson got suspended and wanted to get paid.

He went to Sask for 2018 after here.  Big Chris Jones signing.  Cut before season started then signed with Edmonton.

The Elks had a decent chance of knocking off the Ti-Cats with Arbuckle coming off an improved performance against the Stamps, but this move makes absolutely no sense.

i can tell you from having a son who played qb at SFU that went thru just that a lot of coaches blame the qbs for losses & nobody else. They think that changing qbs will somehow inspire the troops to new highs. Usually it doesn't & creates nothing but factions on a team. Jones is that kind of coach. 

Finding OL talent ! So maybe MOS wants 3 yanks on the OL? I had high hopes for Gray but am disappointed. Maybe swapping Gray and Hardrick at G & T could be toyed with at practice.

Still MOS is loathe to make any starter changes except when someone gets hurt... then we hear "next up". It seems more like a style than a plan to improve personnel. Develop the starters and let the rest of the roster get themselves ready: it has been working big time...

So far, so good!

 

I hope this was performance based and not something else. Surprising tho

The fact that it is sudden and surprising leads me to believe there is more there than just performance.

Yep... This reeks of a back story. That's not good.

First thing that came to mind was some kind of FIFO thing. But maybe it is a combination of

- Rose/Alexander coming back

- Houston showing he is more than capable of playing field side corner

- Glass not wanting to be on the PR

Alexander isn't coming back for weeks yet. Could be they feel comfortable with Rene as the 6th?

They're not gonna just up and cut a guy who's been starting since day 1 of the season unless something happened off the field. There's almost no precedence for them straight up cutting a guy for performance based reasons. Something doesn't smell right here.... 

This week has been a mini bye week of sorts for the players.... I wonder if Glass went home for the week and something happened.... 

Edited July 1, 20223 yr by Noeller

Maybe he just sucked and they want to save salary?

I can't recall him making any great plays so far and I know that he was burned a few times.

If it was just based on performance they would have cut Rose, Glass has played well for the most part, something else influenced this decision.

Glass likely refused a PR spot.

Someone on that side of the field stunk for the first 10 quarters of the season.

Looked like Glass and Taylor were more in sync in the second half vs Hamilton but also had a bit of an easier go with the pass rush heating up.

Rene hasn’t even dressed yet.

Never was that impressed with Glass all that much.....never thought he was great in Mont. and never impressed me here...He was fair to middelin' as far as I was concerned....Next

Think you nailed it. Rose back to full health Houston handily outplayed glass glass probably refused pr spot. And refusing a pr spot is kinda anti fifo.
