Ten Canadians in the starting lineup tomorrow. Be interesting which ones keep those jobs for the following week.

My kingdom for a Canadian tackle

It's just "Yantz". He's like Cher.

Is Leggett injured?

As I heard this morning, Lattanzio will play some snaps on the inside DL.

 

 

I'm really liking the looks of our depth chart compared to last year. Man, truly, Kyle Walters is a very good pickup of the Bombers.

 

Is Leggett injured?

 

 

He might suffered a concussion-like symptoms after having a haircut yesterday.

Unless I missed it, I don't see his name on the depth chart for tomorrow night. Anyone?

Yeah they cut him the other day and it never got a mention at all.

Omissions from #Bombers lineup: S Leggett, DB Stoudermire (hand), DT Thomas, DT Harlan, OL Neufeld (calf), OL Dile (UBI), RB Scott (ham).

This is in accordance with the policy to "cut on demand" before the official release date. Why wait?

You can please some of the people..some of the time, but not one person, most of the time.

For the first time in a long time, I don't think depth will be a key problem for us in 2015.  We're starting 10 Canadians tomorrow... we have capable Canadian backups for all 3 interior OL positions (Goossen for all 3, Neufeld/Chungh for either G position).  And although it's pretty much acknowledged that Newman and Sherman won't start; an injury to Westerman won't hoop us, as we've still got Bucknor on D as our 7th CDN, and capable players in Newman and Sherman. 

 

We also should have the flexibility to start EITHER Kohlert or JFG/Bastien if we want to play Moore, Denmark, Darvin, and Jhomo (or Clemons). 

 

Walters and his team have done a really great job retooling in about a year and a half on the job.

This probably could've just been in the Depth Chart thread without commanding its own, no?

Sigh...it sure would be nice...

Why isn't Jake (the Snake) Thomas playing?

I was actually just thinking the other day... do the Bombers dress Thomas, Westerman and Brown on game days?... will there be any import back ups on the DL?

I'll be really surprised if we don't use a di spot on a de.

 

I'm guessing we use our di's for rb, de, db, & a returner.

I like this, solid assessment.  I would like them to keep Yantz around on the PR as QB4 after cutting Marve/Portis but its doubtful.  I expect that the 1 man reserve would be one of the WR, so depends whos better for specials at that point.

I think Normand gets on instead of Lattanzio and out of that list ... I have no idea who sits. Thomas? Briggs?

 

We're actually suddenly pretty deep.

 

Agree.

 

If Warden and Morgan has any eligibility left, maybe they send them back to the CIS.

 

I guess, Yantz fate depends on what's the Bomber's plan on Marve and Portis.

Imports are a lot more difficult, strong chance we see some surprise cuts here.

I think Normand gets on instead of Lattanzio and out of that list ... I have no idea who sits. Thomas? Briggs?

 

We're actually suddenly pretty deep.

 

I could see them sitting one of Richards, Waggoner (the two green-horns) or Thomas.

 

It's possible we see Normand instead of Lattanzio. Going by versatility Lattanzio may win out, especially if they sit Thomas.

 I guess, Yantz fate depends on what's the Bomber's plan on Marve and Portis.

It is possible that their plan @ #4 has been Jordan Yantz all along and that the battle for a QB position has been between Marve and Portis.
