I believe that’s confirmed. and I love it. Two dbs with good league experience and lots of gas in the tank. I do like adams a lot but I’d really like to see us get another good pass rusher unless we are going to roster a guy and actually use them. wonder if we will see another trade or if we are done.

Injury Report, Lineup Changes, Roster Moves
wbbfan replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
No1 most boned team in the league for injuries imo, bc. Aside from stove missing the whole season and their other prized off season dl pick up missing like 10 games the team they are with rourke vs with out is huge. No2 ott. The difference between Masoli and the rest of that heap of qbs is huge. no3 is the bombers. Half a damned defense a bunch of wrs constant injuries on the line. stanback in Montreal is a bigger lose than the riders suffered this year. I would say the riders are the average for injury loses on the season. -

Damn that is a crazy combined loss for the argos. This years modp is going to be legit tough. I suspect it’ll be between sankey dean and Willy j in the west. This is a year some dbs should get love but they probably won’t. -
Or guys that Ritchie brought in after being cut by other teams only get lots of use out of still. Mcgriggs nash Marvin Coleman etc db is a peculiar spot and we run a very particular defense. Darby fits what we do like a glove. Really the more safety skills you have as a db here the better.

They’ve been listing cooper at de but he’s 220 lbs and played lber in school. He’s also dressed for 3 games and not played a snap. I wouldn’t expect him to be taking meaningful reps at de. Bronson is listing at 277 I’m guessing he’s going to be used similar to walker and sayles as well. Adams is good but even with a healthy Wj and jj that’s thin for us. And safety. He can basically play any defensive position. If ba wasn’t healthy he’d be the guy to put at s. I expect he will be taking a hb role. sure would be nice to get houston back this year. Atleast one of the young dbs holm hassell and parker need to step up. And rose too. Yep

Love getting Darby back. That’s huge. Kind of odd that we sent wilcotts when we are paper thin at dl as well. Maybe they have some one on the verge of signing

https://3downnation.com/2022/10/04/lemon-for-dpoy/ The modp is wide open especially in the west This year but I don’t think lemon deserves it. Half of his sack production has come against Edmonton. In 6 games against the bombers and lions he has 1 sack 9 tackles 0 ff. -

He’s still not good, but he makes the right decisions and the interior isn’t trying to cover for him to the point they fail at their own assignments. He’s a great guy to have on the roster. Hope couture is back starting soon. Didn’t realize they took him off the pr. -
Not too surprised I mean he was crazy explosive. Like usain Ryan crouser. Every so often a guy like that comes a long. Crazy how many don’t make it to or through college. a lot of rbs end up going pro with a ton of wear and tear. Every one is losing their mind over kayleb Wagner breaking records putting up nearly 40 caries a game. Better faster back. But not as quick imo. The best back in history imo.
-
The quickest shiftiest player I’ve ever seen in any league at any level. I don’t think he needed the same work out regiment. But I think being leaner, and stronger would’ve made him into an nfl player. Nothing was going to give him a top speed gear. And with the nature of his bursty change of direction running any thing that put more wear on his hips knees and plantar facia to high ankle area would’ve shortened his career.
-
Db yeah but I think he was an extreme outlier in that era. He was the first interior linemen I can recall in the cfl who was a top level athlete (national rugby team iirc) if stove played the length of dbs career in the cfl he’d be at worst the second best dt in league history. most every position out side of ol is like that in football now. The big difference is that most dts in the cfl can run like des used to and des are better run jump athletes than half the wrs in the league 20 years ago.
-
He would make moe elewonibi come out of retirement so he could re retire. people are talking about the Jump athletically from then to now and I agree at most positions like rb and wr it’s not huge. Not like going back to the 80s. But on the line, things have changed dramatically. and among the new generation of athletes playing interior line positons stove is still a different kind of animal.
-
It’s also worth noting that for the first half or so of our games played we ran more than we do now to much less effect. Less touches for wrs and more demand for deeper passes to make first downs. I’m not worried about our starters at wr at all. If we can being back lawler at a reasonable rate in the off season then great. If roadhouse some how isn’t nfl bound fantastic. But If we go into camp next year with a core of demski woli Bailey ellingson gmac bolo and agudosi I’m good with it. Gmac has shown he can be a focal point of the offense or a guy that gets mixed in. Next year I think he will take a huge step forward and be like schoen now. Too good not to give a lot of touches. if we lose schoen and ellingson And don’t get lawler I could see us being in the market for a vet wr. But even then more of a low risk high reward move than having to over pay for a star. Collaros develops wrs into stars.

Hof I agree he should get a nod. Crazy how long he’s been good for. I think mo would’ve been close with another couple seasons too. Hurts that he and randle island missed out on the great success. -

This. Love Jake but no chance. Jeffcoat would go up before him and even he doesn’t have much of a chance. kyrie Wilson if he can come back and sustain his play earlier this year and in the stretch run last year would go up. -
I think milt Bruce sellers and blink would be as hard to defend as any one playing today. But I think the 02 team would get beat on the line of scrimmage by the 21d.
-
I think the depth was still pretty good but they performed like mercenaries. Not like a team. I mean you have soo many guys on that team that are all time bests at their position for the team. Best of their position that team vs this team would be mostly 01 guys.

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
wbbfan replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Love seeing that young man kick ass and take names. Hope they pay him well in the off season. -
01 team had a better defense. 01 team had bigger stars. This team, is a winner. Easily a better unit today. The 01 team was less than the sum of its pieces. This team is more.

A lot of the same names have been said. And great picks too. I love what Wj does and brings I think he has a few much better defensive players a head of him in the list. demski is a sleeper imo. A few more years with his continually increasing productivity could lead to him getting in. sleeper pick part two is ba. Again if he has a lengthy career I think he’d be ripe to join. -

Approached, I think so. I think jy could get a dc and ast hc gig. That’d be a super smart move for a team that brings in an offensive upstart or retread hc. hall is interesting. I don’t think he’d go back to regina with all the stuff that’s come out after he left. And I don’t know if he wants it. I feel like he truly loves it here and the guys around and under him. If I was ott I would strongly consider some combo of him, jy and bob dyce. Hc dc and maybe front office or teams role with qc side hustle will any of them jump, man I really don’t know. I think if goveia goes to be president/gm though the chance goes way up. That’s interesting I didn’t hear any of that. If that’s the case I would use the up tick to keep goveia around. -

That is possible. Though khari doesn’t fit what the bombers have done under plop and buck I think collaros would love that playbook and call. Personally I’d be happy with that swap. Dream wr core. Collaros would be lined up for the greatest season by a bomber qb ever. that would make sense to me but I don’t think they can attract a good experience hc at this point. Chris jones is the only guy I can think. If Oday isn’t canned which he should be that’s fully what I expect. If he is I think they look for a high character co to develop as a hc. I don’t think wade is leaving his current role. I also don’t think walters wants his job and I really don’t think mos wants to be a gm. Buck is still very green as an oc personally I wouldn’t hand him a hc job. Only guy to survive the previous regime and ended his career here. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was happy to stay here under what ever role for as long as we’d have him. That kind of stability long term in coaching football is the greatest commodity. -

I was thinking that could happen if his price comes down. With roadhouse nfl bound next year it’d sure line up well. Love lawler and would be happy to have him back. If rourke is back in bc I think they’ll go after him hard again. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them to bring in a couple big wrs then. -

Have to think that lawler is done in Edmonton at this point. Who ever goes in to rebuild isn’t gonna be spending 300k to retain him. I wonder if bc jumps back in on him. Wonder if they move on from lucky to make room too. Lawler been just as good this year as last with terrible qbing. If he had stayed here he’d a had stupid numbers. https://3downnation.com/2022/10/02/theres-a-lot-of-people-going-to-be-calling-for-my-head-riders-qb-cody-fajardo-sees-dealing-with-fan-negativity-as-part-of-playing-in-regina/ he isn’t wrong, it’s true of most any starting qb but even more so on a passionate fan base team. But damn is it stupid to say it. Especially when he’s just lead his team to yet another loss to the blue lost 4 in a row and gone from above .500 to three games under. They are on the fringe of the cross over spot and he doesn’t have a contract next year. What positive effect does he think this could have on his team or the fan base? He’s about as bright as dicker. I bet he goes into camp as the no2 qb in Hamilton next year. -

Because they are getting it again by default havent and won’t turn that into being contenders. The no1 priority in Toronto football is making a news splash. Going after mos is as good as it gets for them other than bringing in another Ricky Williams.
