Any updates on Willy's hand?

Does the CFL print up weekly injury/status reports?

 

Thank you!

    Nate has no idea he just likes to say S**T

  • Willy's hand injury was because he hit it on another guys hand or helmet, what the heck can the oline do about that? that is a fluke "injury" that we see happen quite often in the CFL and NFL for that

    They've been using tight ends a lot (Pontbriand and double tights with Pontbriand and Fitzgerald), which is actually more effective for dealing with a pass rush than another back because it generally

No, we usually get updates on the first practice day of the week... which should be today, I think.

No practice till Monday. O'Shea's first media availability is Sunday.

They'll keep it on the hush until they have to make their final roster decisions. Most of the media will try to utilize the power of observation to see if there's any swelling on Willy's hand. Don't think the Bombers can win in Montreal with Marve and Brohm behind center - even if T. Smith isn't much of a QB for Als.

Why, pray tell, do you think they cannot win with Marve or Brohm?  

Especially when you consider that Montreal has probably been their most successful road trip in terms of winning these past few years anyway. 

I'd love to see Marve in a game - but only if we have it well under control. I like what Willy is doing but that play looked nasty on his hand. I'd have preferred if he broke a bone as then at least you have a time line, muscle/tendon related you just don't know. Hopefully all it needs is ice and rest ;)

We can win in Mont. with Marve OR Brohm. Prefer Willy though but all is well with Bryant Turner back in the lineup. Turner can beat the hell out of the Als. all by himself. And anyone questioning my take, I'll suggest it's about as accurate as Nasty Nates. lol

Really? What did Brohm do in the pre season to make you think we can? 

We got to do better on our OL or we will have no Willy, this reminds me so much like last year.

Somewhere with someone's team there must be a hidden Canuck.

You have got to be kidding...our O line is much improved. Guess you didn't pay too much attention when Greaves got hurt, and then January for a spell.

So, Billy Peach is a National & sitting on Calgary's practice roster. Why haven't we picked him up? He'd start for us.

Not even so much as having a finding another Canadian .. It's about better protection overall and keeping Willy healthy and upright. We haven't exactly faced dominating front sevens the last two weeks and Willy has taken a bit of a beating.

As far as I'm concerned, after considering the ratio .. the best five guys play .. I'd hate to ruin a young quarterback's confidence because he can't trust the guys in front of him .. beyond that I'd hate to see a shoulder destroyed because we aren't able to protect our passer .. We're seeing injuries take their toll on Lulay .. We've already watch Khari's career end prematurely because we didn't protect him in the pocket ..

It's weird that with all the teams that are even more desperate for OL help than we are ... BC, Hamilton, Edmonton ... you'd figure someone would make a move to get Peach.

When was the last time a CFL team raided another team's practice roster?

Yes, Billy Peach would be a great addition ,Willy had a lot more time against Toronto.as we saw against the Redblacks willy had to rush his plays.

Hence the complaint about Grigsby because several of those rushed throws were on him

But. RB don't need to block. Atleast that's what I heard from some coachc that has lots of NCAA experience.

Lulay hurt his should running for a first down...not getting sacked by lack of protection

Willy's hand injury was because he hit it on another guys hand or helmet, what the heck can the oline do about that? that is a fluke "injury" that we see happen quite often in the CFL and NFL for that matter. Swear to god, 2-0 and you read some posts on the forum here and if you didn't know any better, it's like we are 0-2 and have got killed the last 2 games. 

Peach might step into our OL if Greaves is injured, but he wouldn't otherwise.

 

OL is doing very well, nothing is coming through A and B gaps through 2 games and they've only played 2 games as a unit.  That is very good.  If teams are sending more than 4 or 5 and sending halfbacks, that's not on the OL.  Backs and receivers need to pick up those blitzes if that is the protection call, and Willy is sometimes going to get hit or be under pressure when teams blitz.  

I feel some may be underestimating the ottawa dline also, they are pretty good actually. Really, Ottawa isn't some pushover, they played pretty well, they will win some games this year, oline has played pretty good the first 2 games so far so really can't really complain too much about the oline. Last year our quarterbacks had half a second to throw the ball, not so much this year. 

When was the last time you saw aCFL starting QB play all 18 games plus playoffs?

 

How many have ever done it

 

2nd & 3rd string QBs play a big role in this league ...  its the definition of depth 

Didn't Burris do that last season?

Agreed that our oline has looked good. The sacks last game were coverage sacks or due to Grigsby not picking up the extra guy. Willy had plenty of time to get rid of the ball on several of those sacks.

This is how I'd rank the OLs so far this season:

1. Saskatchewan

2. Calgary

3. Toronto

4. Winnipeg

5. Ottawa

6. Montreal

7. Edmonton

8. BC

9. Hamilton
