Cauchy Muamba's status (ankle) will be determined tomorrow. If he is out, Jovon Johnson moves to safety, Marty Markett to corner.

Glenn January (ankle) saw doctors today. His status has yet to be determined. #Bombers

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 7m

Chad Simpson (foot) is out this week. Was planned to practice, but complained of pain in his troublesome foot. #Bombers

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 7m

Shannon Boatman is out this week. Burke says he's been playing through pain for weeks and his injury is "everything." #Bombers

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 6m

Cory Watson (ham) is out this week, as is OL Marc Parenteau (neck) who took a shot from behind in Edmonton. #Bombers

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 5m

DL Mathieu Boulay (ham) is out this week. Terrence Edwards and Carl Volny both took maintenance days today, but should play Friday. #Bombers

 

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 3m

If Cauchy Muamba ends up missing this week, #Bombers will have to start either two Cdn. LBs (H.Muamba/Labbe) or a Cdn. DL (Jake Thomas).

Max Hall confirms he has been told he will start on Friday night. #Bombers

I'd prefer to start Thomas at DT rather than have Labbe in.  Maybe in rotation.

[Armchair GM]

Thomas to RG, Pencer to RT?  Puh-leeze?

[M.O.A.B.]

I'd prefer to start Thomas at DT rather than have Labbe in.  Maybe in rotation.

 

agree with that.... or start 3 NI receivers

[Atomic]

IMO starting Volny at RB would have the least negative effects

[JuranBoldenRules]

We suck either way.  Volny can at least block someone in the pass game.  Ford is 50-50.

[JuranBoldenRules]

Boatman is upper body (slow reaction time), mid-body (no bend in the hips) and lower body (no foot speed).

[rebusrankin]

Too many injuries.

 

I'd rather they start Thomas at DT for the ratio or Thomas at DT and Volny at rb in a rotation. Don't want to NI LBs

[do or die]

Prefer just about any lineup, that doesn't include Cauchy Muamba......this guy is simply the defensive equivalent.....of Brock Ralph. 

[Floyd]

Wow, we will get destroyed with Labbe-Muamba as WIL-MLB...  I'd take 3 NI receivers... activate Carter - Kohlert-Foster-Carter-Etienne... that works

 

But honestly, is Dan West (and I wanted him cut last year...) any worse than Cauchy...?  Throw Teague Sherman in there for experience... who knows?

 

Starting Labbe should really get Burke canned.  Maybe that's what he wants now... a fresh start as Ottawa's DC.

That's kind of an ignorant take.  Starting a guy who's arguably a top 5 NI LB in the league is a disaster, but starting a guy who was a hardly above average CIS DB at safety is a good idea?

West is injured

[rebusrankin]

DOD, What's the defensive equivilant of the Jet Package?

[17to85]

Casey Creehans zone coverage. 

[Noeller]

The Labbe hate is really ignorant...

[DR. CFL]

Too many players feeling sorry for themselves and thinking they can hide out on the IR.

I am assuming that you misread and are not referring to Labbe as a top five NI LB...

 

This isn't a witchunt for Labbe... its just that we already went down this road in 2011 and it cost us dearly.  He is just too slow, that's the way it goes...

He wasn't too slow tracking down a guy and forcing a fumble in Banjo Bowl. Labbe might not be as good as Muamba, but that's no slight. He's still a damn good player who can get the job done. To say that he "cost us dearly" is absurd.

He was tracking down the guy after he whiffed on his first tackle... watch the replay.   

 

And if you think playing Labbe at MLB/OLB didn't cost us dearly late in 2011... well, I guess that's a difference of opinion.

Name 5 NI LB's who are better defenders than Labbe.

 

Emry, Muamba, Pottinger and Yurichuk?  Maybe.  Brouillette? As a DB/SAM, ya.  Hurl?  Can't play D yet.  Plesius?  Probably too fat to play LB in the CFL.

With Butler playing LB now you can put him in the 5.

That's a hybrid spot though, he doesn't really play in the box, essentially a nickelback or roving safety.  He'd be comparable to Brouillette.  DB's.

[Floyd]

Ah, we're classifying Butler and Brouillette as DBs then...

 

Well, that definitely helps Labbe's chances...  on the other hand, Emry, Muamba, Pottinger, McCollough, Yurichuk are better...  Black, Carter, etc - they are more along Labbe's level, Tristan Black is probably better though

It's splitting hairs really as 1/3 (or more) of the LBs in the league are converted DBs ..

Carter and Black don't play defence.  McCullough couldn't even hold a gap last week when the Argos ran the ball down their throats in the 4th quarter.  Don't apply for a scouting job with the Bombers this off-season please!
