I mean he did look like he was taking a little snooze out there... first 10 seconds of this clip shows why they pulled him. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/cfl-blue-bombers-14-argonauts-16-ot~2966932

You're not wrong lol. TSN cut to a shot of his wife in the stands while he was down - not a care in the world that her husband was laid out on the ground, looking like "Oh I've seen this before, he'll be fine, can you pass the fries?"

Yeah it was weird because they let him run a few plays before pulling him but on the initial hit/shove, he was laying face down for a few seconds and was pretty slow to get up.

Yeah I'm not wishing that on anyone, but the hit that put him down & pulled from the game, was nothing special (looked more like he got shoved to the ground than hit) so it got me wondering what might happen if/when he really gets hammered. Given our o-line play and his history, it's something that could very well happen.

Yeah and if it's not done immediately, it's not getting done I guess. Look how long it took for Lucky's deal to get done, and that was a PR deal. It was reported on June 29th that he was expected to sign but a deal wasn't officially announced until July 8th. I'm not too concerned about this getting done.

The bombers were scheduled to have a meeting with his agent yesterday so a deal could still be in the works (or already done and just hasn't been announced yet).

After watching him get taken out of the game by the spotter, it got me thinking. How would it work if he was unable to play next season due to injury? Under normal circumstances, we couldn't release him this season if he was injured and have to wait until the off season. Could we still do that or because of the guarantee, would we just park him on the 6 game all next year. He still gets paid but it wouldn't go against the cap.

They could also free up some cash by dropping some veteran dead weight (Biggie, BA). I'd also look into redoing some of the deals we have where we are over-paying guys (Kramdi, Demski). That last part might be tougher to do but the reality is we aren't getting the best bang for our buck there.

Imagine being a rookie and watching Biggie or BA flail around, whiff or get run over out there while you have no chance in hell of seeing the field other than on teams. MOS is loyal to a fault to anyone in the starting rotation. Doesn't matter if you earned your spot or were handed it due to injury (like Johnson), once you are there, you're pretty safe.

This. I can stomach growing pains if there's a sign of potential. With cooked vets (some going on a couple years of being past their best before date), there's zero reason to believe they'll suddenly find the fountain of youth and be in their prime again. They don't need to go full Chris Jones mode and make mass changes all at once but they need to do something and it just doesn't seem like there is any desire/will to make necessary moves.

Classic Suitor. Blowing the Edmonton DB's seconds before they get torched for a big score. MOS is playing on a different level than other HC's. They are all still trying to use their DL to accomplish that feat!

If our O-line play doesn't improve, Zach may not make it to next year and the contract would be a moot point.

Behind this O-line? Nope, what's the point? The only upside would be that we aren't stuck with the Collaros contract next season.

Yet here you are doing the same thing. I mean how many times can you say you find it annoying. You have the choice whether or not you see someone's posts - you can easily add them to your ignore list if it's that big of an issue.

They could go that route but the fact that they introduced him as Victor Von Doom leads me to believe they will treat it as a separate character. They have a Disney+ show called "what if" to do what you're talking about. The demon armor scenario would have him playing Tony Stark again (just with Dooms personality). They could use the multiverse and make Doom a variation of Stark (ex: in another universe, that version of Tony Stark is adopted as a baby and raised as Victor Von Doom). Same person physically but different personality because of how he was raised.

They'll have to draft Kurtis if they want him but they may not get the chance, depending on where they pick. He was, at one point, the top ranked prospect for the 2024 draft but deferred to next year.

Different characters but they are similar in the sense that they are both uber-rich techno geniuses who become super heroes/villians under a metal mask.

To me, when almost the entire team is collectively shitting the bed like that, it's beyond correcting a couple mistakes. There need to be changes. What consequences has Demski ever had for these repeated mistakes? Or any of the vets for that matter. Do any of the vets ever get stapled to the bench? Neufeld tonight was the first I can really remember, and that just as likely could have been due to injury rather than poor play (maybe whiplash from watching guys blow past him?).

Cue the "clean things up and we're good" excuse.

Fitting

Command center blew it again. Should have been PI on Daniels.

Cover team has done its job tonight. Not much room for Janarion out there.

Zach's too from that replay!

Wilson almost stayed on script but managed to hold on.
