BomberBall Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Too bad today's practice is a closed session. Would love some updates on who's practicing where and how the reps are being distributed. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to run through options with nobody reporting who lined up where on both sides of the ball. Also gives Toronto nothing to work with. shadybob and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) @BobIrvingCJOB Mike oshea says Darvin Adams won't be available for a number of weeks and he is not counting on him for the playoffs. ....But..... @DarrinBauming Weston Dressler says he is ready to go and will play Saturday against the #Argos. #Bombers Edited October 17, 2017 by Noeller SPuDS and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High end talent has been a problem for us at receiver, we can’t afford to be without our best and most consistent performer. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Dressler was outstanding before he got hurt the first time. When he came back, he wasn't the same. Here's hoping he's back to 100%. When he's fully healthy, he's as good as anyone... SPuDS, Mr Dee, blue_gold_84 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful hes back at 100% as well, because we gotta need him at his highest level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Brandon Zylstra is a remarkable receiver for the Edmonton Eskimos. He’s extremely dangerous and Mike Reilly knows when to look for him. He’s a difference maker in any one game he plays. Why do I bring up Zylstra? Because, Weston Dressler can be our Zylstra. He’s that good. All’s we have to do is use him. Not only will that free up our passing game, but Harris would feel the positive effects also. A win-win, in my books..

I hope Weston has that positive impact. However I am going to harp on this: Drew Wolitarsky can be our version of Zylstra. It was about this time last year that Zylstra was activated for the first time by the Esks. He had a great end of season run and has become a top notch WR this year. Hopefully we can at least try him out the remainder of this year (split reps with JFG and Coates) to see if can help us get to the GC.

Tracker Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Dressler was good, no question, but he's not 22 years old any more and sustained a number of serious injuries, so all we can do is hope. Thankfully, the next game against the Boatmen will give him the equivalent of full-contact practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Fingers crossed Dressler returns to his 2016 form on Saturday. The offense needs a spark in a big way. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the bigger, meatier receivers like Arceneaux and Ellingson. More durable. Dressler and Adams always seem to be one hit away from being hurt, again. It's great that Dressler is back but how long is he going to last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Adam's is too slight or small.. I think he plays a big game and like most receivers who bang thru the middle, they are going to get hurt sometimes. not every receiver can be built like Nik Lewis.

Plus I'm sure I've seen Ellingson on that list take some big shots. I'd sorta like a guy with some height and vertical though that could go up and spot a few deep ones. That's an element we're lacking a little of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
