CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

[Dr Zaius]

Bombers-Argos game is another sell out. Three sell outs in a row.

The Flagship Franchise does it again.

[MOBomberFan]

My most anticipated home game this season, next to the Banjo Bowl of course. Cannot wait.

[Pete Catan's Ghost]

Trotting out the kilt for this one. I usually only wear it for BBowl and GCup parades.

Frankie Hickson to start at RB for the Riders this week as Morrow missed practice all week with a knee injury

Looking at that SASK depth chart...they getting lean/hardup for National starting talent?....Korte-Moore....Teitz....now Blake has supplanted a lousy Johnson fresh off a pec tear....and who turns 38 in 2 months...so obviously isn't the future there.....yeeesh

In all probability, neither the coaches nor the GM have a future there, either.

Then they ought to go to the local casino- their odds are much better there.

Toronto is resting Oullette. They can rest all their key guys against us if they so chose.

[CodyT]

Anyone have our attendance numbers in the tim Burke Mike Kelly eras

It's getting cooler- beware of frostbite in low-lying areas if you are going commando like a true Scot.

I wonder if that's as much about letting Harris get all the snaps to try and shove it up our ass. We know how he likes to play angry and bitter...

When the weather dips, I wear my rider green "glenwilly" to keep the 13th man warm.

I hope he doesn't carry a dirk......that could be painful

He took a big hit on the knee last time out.....I thought he'd be on the sidelines not Ouellete....If he's playing we know he'd like to put it to us....no doubt

I'd be more worried about oulette than Harris at this point. He's a better back.

True, but pissed odd motivated Harris is always dangerous. And you know he’d be both to play us.

AJ Ouellette is fine. (if the video on his FB of him squatting 635 this week is any measure)

[bb1]

Yeah they also have that American back who is really quick that they want to have a long look at( sorry too lazy to look it up)

Deonta McMahon (who impressed in TC and looked good in spells last week) and of course there's Javon Leake. 
 

We're flush at RB even without AJ and Harris.

[Blue In BC]

Harris has been moved to 6 game IR.

Makes sense. It was an ugly looking hit and I think that we all were happy to see him get up and trot off the field. The hit may have been the product of a slow or high throw. I don't blame the DB for going low, a DB will always go low on 33.

Going to be a lot of 6-game fookery happening to allow us to hit our cap numbers. Guys like Muamba and Bladek are still floating around.

Argos taking the foot off in September.  Idiots. You can't just turn it on and off again. Fall is when you want to be playing well because summer in the cfl doesn't matter for ****.

[Booch]

yup.....slippery slope, and it's also a recipe for a whack of late season injuries....never liked the idea of sitting guys and coasting, even players hate it......hopefully we don't go that route, and ZC dresses and gets reps in every game right thru to play-offs......

[bluto]

If Kelly is playing, then our first choice O-Line is playing. So as long as 12 is in the game, we aren't taking our foot (all of the way) off the gas.

I almost feel the same about Pickett. I don't even think we have a backup who can cover his role.

They've had a soft schedule so far and are already on cruise control. It's not even cold yet.
