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.

ahhh...gotcha...and yeah....could be the end for him...well end here anyway

IF Johnson still has tread on his tires, has kept in shape and wants to end his career on a high note, signing with the Blue would make sense for him. We still need a run-stopper in the middle of our D-line. So far, we have coped without one, but it would be great to fill that gap.

Well he's looked fine in crappy Hamilton....17 tackles...4 sacks...I sure we could get some good value out of him with the Jeff's flanking him

Would love to get Darby back. Just so he can sign my Orange jersey lol..

 

 

Great Alexander news! 

😍

 

Great news, but Taylor and Woli are huge losses. We are beyond thin a DB.

We could really use an infusion of talent at db.

I'm sure they know the situation, luckily we're only a couple wins away from being able to start resting players and have some come back

We probably will not have to wait too long for an announcement.

This and next week are when the NFL scraps start realizing they are not on an NFL practice roster and need to find work. We should see some additions soon. Also will depend on if the 6 week anyone.

I think it’s still a couple weeks before the cfl trade dead line and before guys realize they aren’t getting nfl pr spots if they don’t have one now. 
 I bet our neglist has seen considerable shuffling and the scouts have been working late hours picking brains around nfl tcs to find gems.

Lots of time. Walters has shown time and again if there is a depth or talent concern going into the playoffs, it will be addressed in due course.

Maybe it'll be easier to pry Darby from Hamilton after we've played them.

Could be. Of course we could just claim him off the PR right now if we wanted.

I can't remember the last player a team pulled off a another teams practice roster it just does not happen anymore.

Not sure a usually deep team like the Bombers wants to start a game of *** for tat regarding PR players.

As a generally rule claiming a player off another team's PR isn't done because there usually is not anyone of value that can immediately step into another team's lineup. In this case, there was and I am not in the least bit concerned about another team swiping one of our PR guys. If they do, they do and they have to activate them to the active roster. Revenge claiming players is not exactly that great of a proposition to those doing it.

THE player needs to agree to go as well...Pretty sure all our PR guys quite content staying put and would say thanks but no thanks

Yes, there is that as well. It's not as simple as if we claim Darby they will claim our most valuable PR player. You gotta immediately put him on the active roster AND get him agree to go. Most of the guys on our PR are projects and are not ready to play CFL ball, will be FAs this offseason anyway, some will be released as we take guys of the AR to make room for guys coming off the IR, and are unlikely to play for us this year, so I don't really fear that aspect of claiming Darby at all. If he was available, which he is not because he is on the IR now.
