Riders 8-2  Bombers 6-4

Bombers need a win if they hope to catch the Riders in the standings.

Will the Riders replace Lauther?

Trevor Harris took a beating in the Calgary game.  

Riders' secondary is also banged up.

Who will play receiver for the Bombers?

Will Schoen play?  Demski? Will Ontaria Wilson come back up North this week?

Is Houston getting into the line-up?

 

 

 

Ill bet Demski plays

If we went with Corcoran and Cobb when we dont need to use a Canadian there whatsoever....Osh should be shot

A hurt Schoen...Clercius...Cobb..Corcorran and Wheatfall...like really?...REALLY??

Both Moore and Echols have played in the league...know the standard route tree's all teams use....Know the opponent they be playing.....pretty aure if your coaching is elite you would have them ready

Do you own a truck and have access to a large amount of manure?    Might need one if this comes true.....

if Sterns is out... why does Schoen's presence knock Mitchell out of the line up?

If we're gonna pull vets off the scrap heap... why not throw them into action?

I hope Person is good to go.  We need constant pressure on Harris.  Would like to hear Woods is getting reps with the 1’s.

Jesus... flip the ratio rather than running with Cobb and Corcoran...

I don't think they need even. Just run with the minimum amount of CDNs and no changes needed.

Nuef
Wallace
Kola
Brady
Clercius
Kramdi
Lawson

Yeah depending on the shape they are in.  Moore would likely be somewhat questionable also coming off ACL.  Echols I could see being a little more able to go right away.

Generally feel like Hogan is a little overdoing it.  Just need some basic stuff executed well.

Person?..

Yeah, DT said he was sitting out today.

Corcoran should be nowhere near a starting spot. Ditto for Cobb. Then again, Hogan should be nowhere near an OC job so what do I know?

Case is injured, or he’d be in there too. The 3 C’s yikes 😳

You would think if Schoen all of a sudden becomes healthy and close to former self...(he wont be this yr)....Wilson finds his way back, and Moore and Echols are here and soaking it all up...and really a week of running with the one's would be more than enough to roster either...or both...they not league rookies after all, that we would cut loose Case and Mitchell, cause why carry them when you would have Demski, Clercius, Sterns, Wheatfall, Cobb, Echols, Moore , Corcorran and hopefully Wilson?

You only really need 7 on game day, so 2 would be 1 gamed or PR's and we still have that other guy we signed, who I dont see a future in the CFL with....basically a big ol meh burger with a side of average

 

 

Doubt they start Cobb. They'll wait to the last minute to see if Demski is healthy.

Wheatfall-Schoen-Demski-Corcoran-Clercius

Or

Wheatfall-Schoen-Moore/Echols-Corcoran-Clercius

Either way you need Cobb in there as the 6th. I expect Corcoran to start though and one of the new guys to get in only if Demski is still hurt.

that grimace and shrug that starts the video ... you can tell that media time is Osh's favorite time.

Cautiously optimistic that Corcoran shows up and that the butterflies are gone. He can't continue to be as ineffective as Mitchell...can he?

I'd rather see Streveler/Logan play instead of Corcoran or Mitchell

Hopefully its wheatfall..Demski..Schoen..clercius and Echols...that be our best unit...Corcoran can keep his butt stapled to bench unless someone gets hurt...and even then rather incorporate Logan

Corcoran was great in the pre season.. all he did was get open and catch passes. I have faith that he'll eventually be a New Stoddard at minimum.

Sorry bro, but that sounds like a transmission.

4 for 49 in two pre season games. He was ok but nothing special. A lot of 4th quarter and second half production too against guys who got cut.

He's slow with a meh vertical and other middling combine scores. Hard work only gets you do far.

Haaaaaaavvvvveeeeee you met our coach?

I would hope everyone is working hard...and the best 45 dress...not the best 38 or so and then some coach's fav's

Preseason doesn't count, when the real bullets are flying hes been a liability. too slow , taking penalties, and hasn't shown good hands  3 strikes and ...

Corcoran is not a starting rec in the CFL....yet. hes a decent back up/emergency rec. There's just no justifying him starting if we have 5 other Cdns on O.
