I'll be shocked if he isn't in the lineup next week. Just being cautious and giving him lots of practice time before reinserting him into the lineup. We definitely need him for the TiCats game for sure
do or die Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 If MOS has us this confused.....imagine the RedBlacks
Blueandgold Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 I can’t imagine we’d be sitting Matthews if he’s ready to play. Slow start to the season or not, we’ll need a productive Matthews for our O to play to its full potential. blue_gold_84 and Noeller 1 1

Noeller Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 they wanna be as close to 100% healthy as possible in November, and they're right to do it....

Bigblue204 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 Walker in for matthews/Nelson. Kick returner.
Bigblue204 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Looks like everyone is confirmed to be playing, with the exception of Bighill and Matthews Edit - I posted to two above posts before reading the previous page of this thread... Edited July 18, 2019 by Bigblue204

bigg jay Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 I assume it's just MOS being cautious. They did the same with Bighill last week. In an interview he did, Bighill acknowledged that not playing was a coaches decision, even if he felt he could go. Quote “I understand if he says, ‘hey I feel comfortable with you just not playing,'” Bighill said. “I guess I do understand that. So I prepare like I’m going to play, and even though I haven’t practiced, I’ve gone through a rehab protocol and I’ve been leveling up through that."

O’Shea adds that one week’s roster isn’t indicative of anything other than just that, and Matthews will be a big part of their season moving forward." https://t.co/MRF6IljkUT
Noeller Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 Bauming's personal opinion....nothing to back that up. bigg jay, rebusrankin and Blueandgold 3

He felt he was ready and coaches wanted to give him another week to be 100%....more likely. This, plus I feel like maybe their giving Lawler another shot to either show up, or he'll be shipped out. Guy has had opportunities to make plays and just hasnt. Which is too bad, I like his style of play but it just hasnt worked out very well yet. Noeller 1
Brandon Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 I wouldn't be to concerned about Matthews. I'm curious to see how Walker does and hope he gets rep on the offense since he caught everything that went his way in pre season. Bigblue204 1

He did make that great catch across the middle.... Then celebrated too early, got tackled and fumbled the ball. That was "making a play". SPuDS 1

Mr Dee Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 6 Straight at Home?: The Bombers look for their 6th consecutive home win - the last time they did that was in 2002-03. The Blue Bombers have won the last matchups as well 5 of the last 6 vs Ottawa. All 5 wins have come with Matt Nichols at QB - overall however he is 5-4 vs the REDBLACKS for the Bombers. Two weeks ago, The Bombers won 29-14 in Ottawa and seek to sweep the series for the first time since 2017. Nichols vs Jennings: They have started against one another 6 times with Nichols coming out on top in 5. Jennings has had 3 of his best 6 career performances come against Winnipeg (422, 408 & 372 yards). The Bombers have trailed for a grand total of just 9 minutes & 24 seconds all season long (vs BC in Week #1). Their scoring edge thus far in the first 15:00 of games is 42-7. Game Notes...

Agreed, not to mention he laid out for a pass over the middle later in the game and got throttled. Effort level is there, he seems to be a serviceable extra import WR at this point with some room to grow. bigg jay and SPuDS 2

Big back with some wheels. Ran over the Alouettes last game in a second fiddle roll. Hopefully the d-line does their thing and he doesn't get to the second level very often tomorrow.
