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.

So how are we going to replace Kyrie Wilson? Injuries are piling up. Yes we have a decent PR. Maybe there is talent or super talent. BUT, nobody can match Kyrie.s experience and know how.

Malik Clements

McRae was better than our homebrew RBs but not by much. The problem lies elsewhere.

He had 3 carries...so can't judge that yet...he had quickness and elusiveness in his 3 attempts...more than we seen from anyone to this point in season

SO... if there is a long term injury to WIlson... do we reach out and employ Tre Watson?

I would

I still go to Awe first...

Awe is more of a WIL as well...

The offence will change in many ways for the better if we can run for meaningful yardage in the first half. Maybe we’d have a few more cocky fans - which is always fun!

Leggs is gaining confidence as he goes...and we managing him perfectly....he's doing all 3.....and doing punting and kickoffs exceptionally well, and it looks like his FG's are coming along too....he's a yr older....a year wiser, and it shows....

Looks like the rookie yips are over.

I think if they bring in anyone (if Wilson's injury is as bad as it potentially could be).... whether that be Watson or Awe... they will be to back-up Clements... I think the club really likes him and it's his job to lose in the coming weeks.

The net effect of his quickness and elusiveness was still little better than Oliveira or Augustine. The logical conclusion is that the O-line has to do better, With the opposition not respecting the running game, the linebackers can drop into coverage and disrupt the the only passing game have- the short and medium passes. So the offence suffers.

I thought his kicking took a huge leap forward last week. Is he Justin Medlock?? Nope. But he's really improved this season no doubt.

Expectations need to be lowered significantly, there is no replacing Justin Medlock or Andrew Harris, they were H.O.F. level players.

The kicking game has certainly not been a point of weakness so far this season - happy with his performance so far - Kicking 88% through the uprights is more than good enough.

Leggs is not Medlock (yet) but he is good enough that we don't need to worry that he will cost us games.  The least of our concerns at the moment.

See if that holds true beyond 40 yds.  Paradis is a great FG kicker, but beyond 45 yds. he is risky money.

I think there's a very good chance we sign Awe if Wilson is done for the season

I can't stand that guy, dirty player.  I can't see him being a FIFO guy.

I don't agree.  Suddenly we're having Wade Miller having to come to the sideline to break up fights.  No thank you.

Awe is talented, no doubt but he would have to fit here. Bombers have picked up castoff/problem players before and rehabilitated them. He may be worth a look. I would draw the line at Brandon Banks, though. He conducts himself like a career moron.

Yup - just ask John Schneider and Buddy Leake.

Trying to think of one, especially in the O'Shea era anyway....who would fall into this category?

Bombers signed Awe for the non-2020 season, so he must have passed inspection at that time.

I think Osh would strap the pads on himself before bringing in someone that old, but I suppose you just never know...

Fair enough.  Just not sure how that guy is a FIFO guy, takes a lot of cheap shots.

Until he misses a critical one.
