Like someone had mentioned,if he's healthy then play em. Doctors likely wouldn't put em out there mid season if he was hurt,he'd likely not be "hurt" if it was the playoffs though.

Yes of course.  I am reading Delvin Breaux's autobiography and it's pretty eye opening in terms of how the CFL and NFL treat their players.  The CFL seems to allow players to get healthy while the NFL just wants to send everyone out injured, to get even more injured, because it's basically just a meat grinder and they have hundreds of other guys waiting to step in.  Interesting take and a good look on the CFL.

He went to the NFL after playing in Hamilton and got totally screwed over by the New Orleans Saints.  Good insight into what football players have to face in both leagues.  I highly recommend this book.

3Down has been talking about this. Apparently with a win the Bombers would be the first CFL club ever to win 400 home games in their franchise history. Calgary was at 399 but the Bomber win two weeks ago denied them the claim to be first. And the Bombers play before Calgary this week. FYI Edmonton has been stuck at 397 home wins since 2019. 

Yes sorry it was 400 HOME wins. I should’ve specified. 

I think it’s a dash 8

 

Sez #2 will play. Even sez “officially”. 
 

 

That's a nice depth chart even with some great players on the injured list.  No holes there.  I'd like to see a bit of Brian Cole on D.  Looks fast af on special teams.  Bet he could play some safety/rover role on 2nd down and come downhill at some receivers with punishment.

can't wait to get BA back at safety.  Then there really won't be any holes.

Yeah if he was ready it's an easy swap in for Parker.  We'd still be starting 8 NI's even if he slides in front of Hallett on the chart.

Ellingson returns???  Oh boy the LOLs better watch out.   Zach won't have the same miscues as last week.   Is it Thursday yet????  LFG!!!

Great article on Wolitarsky in the Free Press today.

 

 

That's as good as we've looked for awhile, on paper. Packed house at IGF on a beauty Manitoba summer night..... Life doesn't get much better. 

Maybe an odd question maybe not,does keeping Rasheed at WR hurt his skillset? He's a slot guy and I know we signed him to two years but I feel like he'd be at his best in the slot,could be wrong though.

Open question for the group - when Agudosi heals up, and assuming everyone else stays healthy, who would be your starting 5 receivers?

A) Ellingson, Schoen, Bailey, Demski, Wolitarsky 

B ) Ellingson, Schoen, Agudosi, Demski, Wolitarsky

C) Ellingson, Schoen, Agudosi, Bailey, Demski (drop to 7 starting Canucks)

D) Ellingson, Schoen, Bailey, Wolitarsky, Agudosi (make Demski the back-up RB to Oliviera) 

E) remove Oliviera and run a six receiver set!

F) other

A/B for me. I believe Bailey is settling into his role, so it's hard to pull him out of the lineup, but the thought of Agudosi contiuning to do what he in his first few games is very enticing!

Now there is a guy who constantly plays angry. Nice element to have in your O.

Think Agudosi being back will be a 2023 question.

But if we had Agudosi back or wanted to beef up the receiving core with Harrison over McCrae that's an easy swap in.  Use the extra import receiver as a DI.

I would like to see the Bombers bring in either a Canadian back or receiver who could contribute to backup Demski/Wolitarsky/Oliviera

I think if it comes down to 2023 the answer is no.

C. I believe that's the best receiving corps we could put on field. You got a big body at wide and a scary set of slot receiver's.

Okay,I'll lay him down gently then

I've got nothing against Wolitarsky at all but I just feel I were picking from the best line up for skill then Wolitarsky would be a back up according to the options we were given.
