GCn20 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 16 hours ago, Super Duper Negatron said: West final would be 4 weeks post injury. Is an ankle that requires a boot even healable in that amount of time? Depends what the injury is. The fact it was weight bearing afterwards is encouraging. A severe high ankle sprain, achilles, or torn ligaments and he would have had to be helped off the field. No way he is standing around on the sidelines after any of those. My guess is a bad lower ankle sprain and his timeline for that is all over the map, but 4 weeks has been done many times. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the key to any bonuses paid for "Starts" or is a start being on the roster and playing? I haven't studied the charts but it seems like Lawson is on the field more often that Thomas, does it matter to the player how they are listed?

Lately....like only last 2 games he has finally been taking a back seat Don't know how either contract is structured and if they have a per start bonus clause...but many contracts have that so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I wonder if there was just a (maybe misguided) plan to slowly ease younger players in....? Cole had been getting more and more playing time and Lawson as well. I don't know, maybe they didn't want to throw the young guys into the fire immediately and it just hasn't worked out as well as they'd hoped...in terms of older players still holding up their production.

bigg jay Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 41 minutes ago, Slimy Sculpin said: I have to admit, the Bombers infatuation with Thomas among others is baffling. Sure he makes the odd play but imo he has passed his "best before" date. Heck, earlier in his career with the Bombers, he was cut (not good enough then?) and then brought back. False, he was never cut. He was a free agent at the end of the 2017 season. The delay in coming back before the next season was due to him "exhausting all NFL opportunities". 😂 Bigblue204, Tracker, JCon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigg jay Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 One game to go for the L's and Dillon Mitchell is a mere 1475 yards from his 2k goal.

I would believe that a BC win will happen and the Bombers need to put the pedal to the metal on Saturday and win. I would not like to have to go into Calgary the following week needing the win to secure home field advantage and a bye into the Western Final. Calgary will be playing all out to secure a play off spot given that the Riders should lose to the Argos this week. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the game is an absolute beat down on the Elks, so the outcome is never in doubt. BigBlueFanatic and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell, on the other hand, had not and is not doing anything to justify that target, Lawler has played 7 games less than Mitchell and is a couple hundred yards ahead of him (Lawler is averaging about 75 yards a game while Mitchell is around 31).
