But i'd rather have a healthy wild down the stretch then rushing him early sounding more and more like when (if) Wild comes back it will only be for the stretch run...
Atomic Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 Apparently Wild was doing push-ups on the sideline yesterday. IIRC he was out with an arm issue so that has to be a good sign.

Noeller Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 He JUST had the cast removed this week....I read online that he wasn't able to do 2-handed push ups yet, but who knows what's real and what isn't. I trust they'll let him take his time so he's fully healthy for a playoff push. blue_gold_84 and Atomic 2
Dr. Blue Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 Just because he is 6 gamed doesn't mean he will definitely be out the entire 6 games. If he just had the cast off this week, he will need at least a couple of weeks to get the strength back and ready for contact again. If you don't 6 game him and he has a setback after two or three weeks, Those additional weeks count against the cap, and will then have to be 6 gamed or more games will count against the cap.

Fwiw, Bauming was speculating on Twitter that he's at least 4 more weeks away...
Jpan85 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 Bob after the Ticat game said that it was going to several weeks to the whole year. Apparently it was a bad break.

BigBlue Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Posted August 25, 2017 Harris got a bit of a stinger today .... could slow down his practicing this week .... sets a tough as nails example I did not notice anyone else getting nicked up in Montreal .... more battered and blue than anything major for several ....I guess thats what staying fresh is all about Need to use Harris as a decoy more often if we are going to get maximum value out of Flanders in the lineup, it seems to me
Goalie Posted August 25, 2017 Report Posted August 25, 2017 Harris was fine. Said so after the game. Jeffcoat was injured but didnt appear serious as was Alexander.
shadybob Posted August 25, 2017 Report Posted August 25, 2017 Harris looked ok after taking that hit which is a relief. Jeffcoat looked to be hurt pretty bad, walked off the field but I didn't see him come back into the game at all, can anyone confirm? Also, Alexander I'm not sure was even hurt, looked like he may have just needed to fix his knee brace which looked to have come loose on the play. Hope that's all it was.
Noeller Posted August 25, 2017 Report Posted August 25, 2017 Harris, Jeffcoat and Alexander all came back to play last night after being knicked up... Goalie and blue_gold_84 2
Stickem Posted August 25, 2017 Report Posted August 25, 2017 Alexander broke his..........knee brace Harris broke a helmet on his chest Jeffcoat was tuckered is all and ALL returned Noeller and BigBlueFanatic 2

BigBlue Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Posted August 29, 2017 Bombers start practicing Wednesday morning I presume ..... I wonder if there are any "gone fishing" injuries since the victory beyond Harris' stinger
Noeller Posted August 29, 2017 Report Posted August 29, 2017 Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman #Bombers are making Weston Dressler available to media this week, which suggests he's returning to lineup vs. Riders on Sunday Bomberfan85, Rod Black, blue_gold_84 and 1 other 4
coach17 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 I wonder if Dressler's replacing Denmark this week. Tracker 1
BBlink Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 I'd consider sitting Thorpe. I think that was his second fumble last week and Denmark has been doing a lot for us of late. But it may come down to scheme. I'm not down on Thorpe but he is a rookie! Fatty Liver 1

The short-term answer might be to sit Thorpe down, but he is a talent. Just needs some seasoning. Fatty Liver, Fred C Dobbs, blue_gold_84 and 1 other 2 2
johnzo Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Could we just sub Dressler for Lankford and let Flanders handle kickoff returns? We'd be without our backup kicker, but it's been seven years since we've needed one...remember Louie Sakoda? Atomic and Mark F 2

Thorpe seems to be a big part of why we've started converting more 2nd downs, especially on the underneath stuff Lapo likes, he's getting those extra yards to move the sticks. I'd hope we'd go Adams, Dressler, Denmark, JFG and Thorpe.
Brandon Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Thorpe fumbled twice last week... I'm willing to let the guy have a few more games. You can't bench every rookie if they have a bad game once in a blue moon.
