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.

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

Does E.J. Kuale count?

Yeah that was one guy I thought of. I don't think we really rehabilitated that clown though.

Nope. Clown through and through.

There's one in every class......but that guy was the most belligerent bastage ever

I have not heard one inkling of a rumor that Awe is a locker room problem of any sort. Is he dirty? Perhaps. Is he a good football player? yep. FIFO is more about fitting in the locker room. We have had players who are a bit dirty before. This is not new and they fit FIFO just fine. I don't see Awe as being a head case, or taking dumb penalties because of brain cramps. His dirtiness is more a result of being nasty, and coaches and team mates can overlook that.

yeah...he's not a locker room issue....and isnt dirty...played hard and fast, and has adapted to the new way of pummeling ball carriers....he would be an excellent pickup if Wilson is down for year....if there is a talented player available to improve our team...you grab them regardless of who/what u already have...thats how good teams stay good

Definitely won't hurt us to bring him in,the more the merrier when it comes to trying to fill a crucial position.

With Montreal first firing Tre Watson and then signing Michael Awe, MOS and company showed no committed interest to hiring either one of them. Bringing veterans in mid season just does not seem to be the Bombers style. Develop, develop and develop from the start of the season opener's roster.

Only Castilio comes to my mind in recent times.

Go Clements!

I suspect that Awe was approached and a contract was drawn up before Tre was released- Tre got picked up by the "L"ks before the Bombers knew for certain that Wilson was going to be out for an extended period of time.

 

Sucks, but that's how it goes.

He was obviously referring to Matt Nichols.

Spurgeon wynn? 
 

Seeing that nichols has officially retired I wonder if he signs a 1 day to retire as a bomber? I’m kinda thinking he won’t but I’m sure the mafia would oblige.

Lolololol at randos with 28 posts showing up here to clutch pearls about Legs missing 2 1-pt-ers....... the **** that rolls in here sometimes. 

How many posts before I earn your approval? 

If Leggs keeps up this performance, he's a great kicker.

Ottawa acquiring Arbuckle from Edmonton may be Lapo's salvation. He can shape him better there is more talent to work with.

Jones continues to burn his burn his bridges behind him.

I don't know, he keeps going to new places and has never really proven himself. Flashes but no consistency. No one seems to want him.

yup....could be the season saver there....and he could be a nice fit in Lapo's system...dude does have talent...does he just need to be in right place?...guess we will see....and this makes it less likely that they can or will go real hard at Streveler if he comes available

Masoli out for 10 or 12 weeks certainly adds to Ottawas motivation to grab a guy we would be more than happy to have. Lapo does have an existing relationship with him. 

https://www.ottawaredblacks.com/2022/07/11/redblacks-acquire-qb-nick-arbuckle-from-elks/

The Ottawa REDBLACKS have traded their fourth-round selection in the 2023 CFL Draft to the Edmonton Elks, in exchange for quarterback Nick Arbuckle, the team announced today.

“We’re pleased to be able to add Nick to our locker room at this point of the season,” said REDBLACKS General Manager Shawn Burke. “He’s an experienced player in our league and we look forward to having him on our side as a member of the RNation family.”

Arbuckle, 28, is a veteran of four CFL seasons, having signed with the Calgary Stampeders in 2017, and winning a Grey Cup with the team the following season. He briefly joined the REDBLACKS in 2020 via trade, but with the season lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, Arbuckle moved on to the Toronto Argonauts, and was traded to the Elks in 2021.

All told, the Oxnard, California native has appeared in 48 CFL games, completing 361 passes for 4,297 yards, and 19 touchdowns.

that relationship is more the Bombers Organization, and his teamates.....the Lapo bit isn't gonna be the big heartstrings tug
