@DarrinBauming: #Bombers announce the removal of DL Deantre Harlan from the practice roster, making room for Int. DL Justin Cole, who is wearing No. 93.

@DarrinBauming: #Bombers mystery running back, whom I noticed a couple weeks ago, has a jersey on today. No. 24. Expect an announcement soon.

I think Cotton is the perfect lead back for this system. They're gonna use a time share anyways so really "starter" is not as important, but I like having Cotton used early on and then bringing in Marshall for some inside yards later in the game.

Nothing I like better than to see a team grind out the clock with power running. There was some discussion on 1290 today regarding our running game, and the need to get Marshall and Cotton more touches. It's not good enough for our two running backs to have a combined total of 10 carries in a game. Got to be more than that.

That's what I've been saying since last year.  CALL MORE RUNNING PLAYS MB!!

Eh, that might be where we disagree. I agree that we should run more than 10 times a game, but I wouldn't run a helluva lot more. I love our pass game, and I think running the offense through Willy and distributing to the receivers is the best option for this team. I don't think our OL is good enough to run consistently and expect to win a lot of games. 

 

 

I think Marshall is about to take Cottons Job if he hasn't already

You're thinking Marshall as lead back and Cotton as the change of pace?

Yes. Or cotton gone completely. Not sure what he's making but if it's starters money and he ain't playing... who knows

 

 

I don't know Goalie - Cotton hasn't been getting the rock much lately on hand offs. Mostly in the air. I like him for some reason - he has that 'something' I believe. Marshall is a good complement to him as well. I like it the way it is I just wish, as others have said, they give Cotton the ball more on running plays - and disguise them a bit. Many times the plays are too obvious (and slow in developing) for them to be affective.

DE Justin Cole has also been moved to the #Bombers' active roster. He signed with Winnipeg on August 3.

I've changed my stance on Cotton btw - that 'something' has disappeared for me.

Just want to add that Cole has been with the Riders' PR last season so he is familliar with Hall's Defense.

Who's spot is he taking?

that will come out when the depth cart is set on fri i bet, maybe johnsons???

Also curious to see what happens on the OL.  Is Neufeld the guy at RT or no?

If Neufeld plays RT, which NI comes out of the starting rotation?

we would start 3 on d, 4 on the o line and only i cdn at receiver, play 4 imports at receiver i bet

we would start 3 on d, 4 on the o line and only i cdn at receiver, play 4 imports at receiver i bet

Either that or we start 9 Canadians, to an absolute uproar on here.

Not true they will go for ten Canadians instead

Are we better with J.Gordon or Stoudamire in at rec over JFG?

Why is there the compelling need to play more than the necessary 7 starting nationals? Let's try and find 7 decent nationals before we try and feed this patriotic thirst.

I found this gif of MOS quenching his patriotic thirst ...

 

Maybe it will allow them to rotate Simmons in at MLB?

No.  I'd rather use more imports on the OL, even if it's someone who is inexperienced because our issue is at least as much physical as mental on the OL.  People somehow magically think Gordon is going to transform into a better player than JFG this week, but he's been useless when the lights have been on in pre-season and regular season.

I'm not sure if we had 5 Chris Walbys On the oline if it would make a huge difference we still have MB and his 50 schemes to get your qb killed...

I think JFG suits Marve's game pretty well, in that he can catch well in traffic and seems to pay enough attention to  make adjustments in his routes to accommodate Marve's scrambling.  Not the time to insert a rookie or an in-experienced receiver like Stoudermire, neither of which has showed any football acumen so far.

I think they will go 4 import receivers with Moore, Denmark, Veltung and Gordon. Kohlert and JFG as the Canadians. Stoudermire as KR/utility guy.

Bastien will probably a healthy scratch or going to IR or PR. 

We still starts 8 Canadians for MOS liking.

 

Btw, I wanna see T.Thomas and/or Veltung on KR/PR too.

Tyler Thomas: A small college stand -out the 5’10’ 200 lb speedster, excels at every facet of the game. He not only runs and catches balls out of the backfield with skill and dexterity, he returns kicks and is a special teams stand out on punt coverage as well. If there is a hole to run through at the line Tyler was through it and on his way to the end zone. To further demonstrate his versatility Tyler, played some Defensive Back when needed. After competing in the NFL Regional Combine in Cleveland, Tyler was invited to the NFL Dallas Super Regional Combine, where he put up superior numbers, running a 4.39 40 yd dash in Cleveland. He has started to draw interest from NFL and CFL teams and will hit the try out circuit looking for his first pro contract this fall.

Justin Cole is a 6'3" 240 lb player who suited up as a linebacker in the NFL, so maybe he is auditioning at MLB?

 

rb sounds like a stud lol

It's been said before, don't get too hung up on the number of national "starters".  It really is just a formality. We have the maximum number of internationals on our game-day roster just like every team and that's what you should be looking at if your concerned with the number of nationals who are showing up with their names first on the depth chart.
