I'd say this our best ;lineup of the yr to date Really excited to see what and how we utilize this dline....It's probably our best front since 2019.......I hope they go to town and make it impossible to not roster them again Hope we see more Griffen too in varying sets...dudes been nothing but excellent all yr....total sleeper signing this off-season

I’ll take Gauthier in for Bighill if it means Woods and Adams on the field at the same time for the majority of snaps.

Beating the wheels off Hamilton would put us into a strong mindset going into the LDC. There's no chance of this feeling like a trap game, we should mangle them.

Best case scenario: - Kelly sucks to high heaven - Argos win anyways

As an aside, I want to shout out Clercius. I was disappointed to lose BOLO in the offseason but Clercius has been an improvement in that spot. Catching 80% of his targets and nearly at BOLO's season high in yardage. Granted he's getting more opportunities with the receiving corps being decimated but Clercius is making the most of them. I think he's got a future as a tough yards guy, converting second downs

I was a little off. It's Adams, Weitz and Feltmate coming on the roster for Bighill, Karamoko, and Schmekel

Positivity... a little praise... on roster release day? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE REAL BOOCH!!!!!??? 😆

with Biggie now on the 6 game....do we leave him there the full six....especially if the next 2 games the defense just keeps doing it's thing?...Have him well rested and fresh come Playoffs and find a way to DI him...Or actually use the Nationalized roster perk? Or....do that with Wilson....who would be a huge addition too

DB Karamoko, DL Schmekel were moved to PR. DL Adams was moved to AR.

The biggest challenge of this game is not playing down to the cats. They tend to play us tough, and we’ve had a history of playing down to teams rather than burying them. Even last week we dominated bc and should’ve won by 3+ tds. A winning streak going into ldc/bjb would be huge, turning the red zone offence around would be too.

Are you Case? Lol....I kid...but not sure what you see with him...we have enough diminutive recievers and really he never showed any explosion or chance for explosion potential...and being a rookie we don't need that..we have Wilson..Clercius and Don't need a 3rd rookie as a 5th reciever especially when games become real critical Lucky offers us just what we need...and he is as fast as he always been and is a legit threat to score from anywhere on the field from multiple different ways in getting the ball..and he knows the league..the game..and where the open spaces are...I don't see any of that with Case...

Collaros hasn't slept this week if that's any indication.

Johnson subs out any time they go with the 6 OL max protect look or heavy run formation. Still think Case is that gluey kind of slot they need. If they had him and Whitehead on they'd be very complimentary to the receiving corps as a whole. Johnson has demonstrated no rapport at all with QB's on gameday which is kind of important this era where there's a ton of choice routes.

How much of an impact can Jones have with being there less than a week and with 2 or 3 practices?

Feltmate was outstanding on ST before he was hurt.

Yeah there should be no trap games when you are 4-6. This is not the time to be overconfident. Chris Jones adds just enough intrigue to make this interesting - the question is how much of his defence can he implement on 2 days of practice and how well can the Ticats players pick up on it and avoid mistakes. If they make a play early they might get that boost of confidence they need to play well, so our offence can't be sleeping out of the gate. It's critical that we start fast on both sides of the ball and get them on their heels early. It'll be another crowd of 30000+ so there's no reason not to be fired up and ready to go. It looks like Devin Adams is back in so this should be our strongest D-Line configuration of the season. Make Bo Levi cry back there.

If there's 9 guys in coverage it doesn't matter unless there's huge breakdowns. But they will blitz and show different fronts. It's not like he's going to have more than 3-4 seconds back there even with 3-4 rushing. If a QB is on his 3rd read after the snap he's probably already dead. They'll show a lot of different looks though in terms of where Kramdi, Alexander, Griffin both start pre-snap and end up during the play.

Hamilton is about a 75/25 Pass/Run offense. I bet we run with Kramdi/Jones/Griffin set we did against BC quite often again as a primary look....basically 7 DBs, 3-4 DL, 1-2 true LB's.

They run him lots as that TE on the line which backs off the D a bit since the other receivers play side get a run at the line. Then he just goes right up the seam, keeps going if no one over top or sits between zones if there is a deep middle cover.

If the Bomber players need extra motivation just remind them of this:

Yeah. McI got up to speed much faster than I would’ve thought from early in the year. Guys a quick study. Feltmate, mci, and 7 ol is a lot of roster value for blocking, but with banged up wrs and considering how much we use the heavy set plus mci/feltmate being valuable on teams too it’s not bad at all. But with all that chunk on the roster we can’t be running 10-14 times. We’ve got to be putting up 20 carries bare minimum for Brady. Then we can weave in other stuff on top of that. More of that jet sweep to lucky etc.

I feel like Bighill is definitely the guy to do that with, if they finally concede to using it. Keeping him on a snap count and using him where he's still got it would be so beneficial. If they could have Jones or Wilson playing most of those reps with Bighill subbing in we'd be so much tighter in the LB core.

They have to - with harvest just starting - this is huge

Yeah because Demski was out.

Bombers lose. O'Shea rolls out Biggie's corpse for the rest of eternity.

well....I did say in camp he looked to be the most polished and pro ready.....and has a good skill set....he definitely tho is not CFL ready...or wasn't...but is getting better....and we were so banged up, and for whatever reason delayed dropping Lucky in the lineup we basically had to play him...as Mitchell was just complete garbage....I dont even know why he still taking up a roster spot either yup...There a couple lil tweaks to make it ideal...but we getting there and cant really complain on this one I wouldnt think they limit Adams role.....Hopefully Thomas role tho......and if Adam's gets Schmeck type reps...then ya...I dont care what others say about slagging a coach but someone on the staff is an absolute moron if you dont give your best overall dlineman 70% or more of the reps...especially if it is because you are playing your most useless one for 90% of snaps....

I will have praise where and when warranted....lol

Jones and what he does is pretty well known....so Highly doubt his presence is gonna cause us much issue....especially when he has to work with players supplied to him and not ones he brought himself I actually think this may be the game our offence finally comes all together too.....and we see another game where defense doesn't give up a TD Griffen has been a right stud all yr and is totally flying under the radar of most media types...he allows us to do so much more up front as he is a solid physical player and great against run and at tackling

I would think if/when Drew is back....He bumps Clercius who becomes the main backup...I'd even go as far as put Clercius as a starter in Johnsons spot....Tag Lucky with the Nationalized American and he can sub for any receiver and allow us to get Wilson or Biggie when available in for Johnson and keep this dline intact....

By far the best DL rotation we’ve rolled out all season. I really think Gauthier is a weak link out there in the line backing core. The defense looks almost perfect otherwise.

I feel a bit better about this game with it being at Fort Hew (games out east are always death) but until the offense proves it's back in track, I will still have doubts about winning any game anywhere. One week at a time... 1-0 each week.

We have the players to fill in for Biggie and there's no need to play him this week. If it's really a hamstring injury he's going to need some time, and this is exactly the week to give that to him.

Judging by the transactions page and injury report, I'm guessing it's: Bighill, Karamoko, Schmekel OFF Adams, MCI, Lucky Ogbevoen ON ...but we'll see when the depth chart comes out in a bit.

These bad boys are prolly 40 bucks:

Gautier is underrated. Their is a reason O'Shea didn't bring in some yank off the street to start.

I figure the O is due to have a game where it all comes together soon. They were close in BC, maybe this is the week.

Johnson got in on some snaps last game but saw no targets, looks like they may be going with Johnson on running plays and short yardage while playing Lucky more in the passing game. I didn't count snaps or anything but definitely saw 84 out there a few times. He's not a big guy but probably offers a little more in terms of blocking than Lucky. I'm just speculating but it seems like that's why he is still in the lineup. And also why he may be more appropriate for that spot than Wheatfall, for example.

Was hoping to see why they are keeping Johnson on the roster. I'm not really the type to re-watch the entire game to see how they use him. Anybody have any insight?

Yes he's been great coming in as the extra DB. Flying largely under the radar too.

Think you'll see Griffin and Kramdi both out most of the time. Gauthier will play if they use fullback/6 OL.

Any time a team comes off a coach firing I am wary. Jones is a terrible human but also a pretty good DC so that worries me, especially with our offensive struggles.

No one in the cfl has the patience to run the ball that much.

Then the Bombers went with the 40 front and 2 LB's, put them in 2nd and 8 a couple times and they gave up on the run.

Oh no..... Anyway

Like seeing Adams to the AR

Dunnigan and Walby Chaos-cast please
