At this point in his career, I think Big Stan can manage just fine without practice.

And you don't see what goes on behind the scenes..he will be more than prepared

And like you said...he don't need no stinking practice

This is how the Regina city workers dress all summer, they switch to leggings and coon skin coats to accessorize the watermelon rainment in winter …

Bryant is the one the term “Stan The Man” was created for …

[rebusrankin]

Wasn't Big Stan missing most practices the second half of last year but still suiting up and playing well?

[Atomic]

Not worried about Stan playing well regardless of practice. But I am a little concerned that he may not play at all. I guess we'll see.

[wbbfan]

My only concern with Stan is what % he is. He could play and they would play him if he was too low for his own good. But a week to rehydrate and recover should be good if it wasn’t any thing more serious. 
 

 I’d Be more concerned with how healthy Brady is. And if biggie is playing heavy reps again. 

[Noeller]

He's fine... I almost guarantee that he's being forced to sit out practice this week. He's arguably the best OL in CFL history. He doesn't need to take practice reps this week. He needs fluids and rest and then knock some sorry Gapper ******* on his ass come Sunday.

Cute idea from our neighbours to the west. Fundraiser for a dog rescue shelter where you can pay $20 and prank a Rider fan to have a "World's biggest Blue Bomber fan" lawn sign put on their yard.

- They ask that you either wait 24 hours for ths sign to be removed (and face the ridicule that comes with it) or donate $20 to their cause to have the sign removed immediately

- They encourage you to then prank someone else (kind of like a pay it forward thing)

Brady is ok

[blue85gold]

Well… **** 

[Atomic]

Damn. I'm guessing they go back to Randolph at LT and probably Vanterpoole at RG with Eli as the 6th

[JohnnyAbonny]

Don’t like that, but obviously it’s the right thing to do.

This would be my guess too. Awful timing for Wallace to get hurt

Crap.  Buck better have a good game plan dialed up or this could be a very frustrating game.  Again.

[wbbfan]

Damn that sucks, it’s serious though with a big older guy. I’m glad they are taking his recovery seriously and not just letting him go in when he isn’t ready. 
 
That said it’s gonna be a mess of pass pro. Shifts the line in a huge way too. Buck really really needs to step up his play call to aid zach with protection.

Yuuuup 

I hope we win it, but I wouldn’t bet a dime to win a grand on it. 

[blue85gold]

Don’t get at all why Johnson is still on the roster. Hasn’t shown a damn thing all season. 

[Super Duper Negatron]

Johnson remains the biggest mystery of the season.

[BBlink]

At least Randolph was taking all reps at LT in practice and focusing his efforts at that position. Hopefully he will be better.

[Goalie]

Poor Jamal Woods. Jesus Christ. 1 American DT on the roster.

Yes... I suspect they knew all along that Stanley Bryant wouldn't play... Probably put a lot of effort into coaching up Randolph. I'm not sure he had ever played LT in his life before last game.

[TBURGESS]

I'm not surprised that Bryant isn't playing. He didn't practice all week. If it was heat stroke, I'd expect he would have been back on the field monday.

yeah....gonna be a tough one...and interesting...Hopefully with this more athletic group as a whole we see a lot of slide protection schemes and moving the pocket....thats how you can compensate for a weaker/or green line....think of why teams used the veer...minimize mismatches and more a ball control, and with BO...mix in Dmeski and Whitehead and now the Woli security blanket back...may have Sask grasping at straws for a while

Pointless....and insignificant....with a likely low scoring game...and one of who plays best on the line Adams in for him especially with Woli back would make wayyyyy more sense...Just seeing the DT spot manned by Thomas/Schmeckle is enough to make a guy puke...and even Hubert now has really fell off the map with effectiveness....and expecting an 8th rounder to continue to flourish as a raw rookie was a pipe dream anyway...

with reps all week, and getting used to what we installed for this game all week...maybe he surprises, but we have to expect a few rookie gaffs

I also truly think we been holding back what we have installed for Streveler and this seeming reliance on just run..run..run. I believe we are not showing cards there for teams to plan for until labour day and beyond when games start to really mean something...I guess we will see there too...I don't think our coaches are that idiotic in his deployment

[wbbfan]

Biggie back on and Adams back off too sigh

yup....blahhh.....and if he pulls up lame again....or is a step behind all game...will make it even more frustrating

[JuranBoldenRules]

Haba over Adams continues to be their favourite mistake.

If you want an impactful edge guy, find a better one.

If you want a more impactful guy based on who is on the team today, dress Adams.

[rebusrankin]

I don't get Johnson staying on the roster when he does squat.

I don't get Adams being off.

Rinse, repeat.
