Since we've now seen the Bombers and Riders after week 1, opinions, predictions etc...

Riders D looked decent but, not saying much vs Edmonton who hasn't won a home game since WW1. Bombers put up Grey Cup bound (predicted) 42 points on Hamilton....WITHOUT LAWLER. I can't wait until this guy is back, the Oline vs their d line will be interesting.

Well Trevor Harris's health didn't last long behind that OL. He is a spectator today already. Fine taking 1st team reps. Normally I would suggest this is mind games but not on a short week after a pretty below average offensive outing.

Especially after that last rep he took.

I cant see him not getting nicked up...at minimum if not put out for a bit behind that unit...and that feeble receiving group....teams are gonna start to Tee off on him I bet until they show they can exploit it...which I highly doubt

Dicklesson may have effectively screwed their "big free agent score" for better part of the season if he's more than a lil knicked, cause behind that O-line he won't get any reprieve from being smacked around

Also his history shows too, when he is hurting, or getting smacked around...especially now that he is hurting...he is a colossal failure, so will be interesting to see how this game plays out...even with him in I seen it as a fairly easy win...without...I see almost no contest....and I disregard the "media" and Rider faithful trumpeting their defense as just shutting down the Elks and being all dominant, and all horned up about that..goal line stand...which was a disgusting display of ineptitude from Edm...Corny couldn't hit guys 6 yards away from him...and when he did it was in their feet...or a ball they had to basically worry about try8ing to secure it, as opposed to just catch it and go....Gonna be a rude awakening trying to coral our crew...reign in BO and control our oline

Our Guy @DTonOB is busy at practice today: 

 

Derek Taylor

Early at Bombers practice no sign of DE Jackson Jeffcoat and DT Cam Lawson remains out.

 

And the crowd noise is live! Pumping it in during practice to simulate the rowdy Riders faithful. #Bombers

 

No Dalton Schoen for practice today. Brendan O’Leary-Orange getting some extra activity.

 

HB Evan Holm is practicing after taking a nasty bump breaking up a pass in Friday’s game. Really impressed with what we saw live again a diverse Ticats receiver group.

 

If you’re wondering new Bombers HB Brad Muhammed is wearing #36 and DT Miles Fox is wearing #90

 

UPDATE: Miles Fox appears to be an ENORMOUS human being with our view from the concourse. That’s a lot of time in the gym 

 

Adam Bighill with the diving interception…doing Bighill things.

 

Karl Schmitz just decided to put his foot through one here at practice. Quick math says 69 yards in the air and bounced out inside the five. Athletes, man.

I hope we get to see Schmitz this week...and then go forward with the one who looked the best...truth be told....he also looked a lot smoother holding on FG's

I’d love to see his leg behind kick offs too. If he can punt 69 through the air what can he do to a football on a tee with a jogging start. 
 

personally I want Harris at the helm.

Yeah gimpy Harris is not a guy that scares me.

Elizondo did Harris dirty the same way… put him out there with a bad neck vs the Dark Side in 2021 and of course he gets crushed and out for the next few games 🤦🏻‍♂️

I know it’s just a preliminary injury report, but stuff like this is exactly why I hate how we manage our roster/practice roster.

Let’s just say Schoen, Oliviera and Jeffcoat can’t go (which I’m sure they can.) Who is taking their spots on the roster? Probably Miles Fox, Amare Jones and/or Greg McCrae? Or do we retry the failed Janarion on offense experiment? So positionally, we have no equivalent replacement for any of these guys. 

Schmitz has an appealing backstory, too: guy looking for a football home and keeping the faith after years and years. Easy guy to root for.

If he is even questionable they’d be well served to sit him. Willy and haba are not to be taken lightly.  That said back up qbs always give me un ease. 

Miles Fox is big but not huge- 6'1" and almost 300lb. Good size and weight for a nose tackle if that is mostly muscle and not  lard.

For that matter, regular Harris isn’t a guy that scares me.

It'll be Fine.

In addition to his lower back, it appeared Harris also cranked his head on the ground.

Could be a concussion protocol thing too.

Harris will be Fine? So, Fine will be Harris? Harris is backing up Fine, confirmed.

Does anyone have a link to a video of the hit? I have tried the TSN one a couple times but it fails to play for me. 

Trevor Harris is the antithesis of a clutch quarterback, always faltering in high-pressure situations. When it comes to the red zone, his performance is reminiscent of a dead zone, consistently failing to deliver crucial touchdowns.

I am tempted to refer to him as Regular Harris in all future posts.
