Weston Dressler will not play vs. Calgary

[Mike]

Confirmed via Twitter by the club

 

Next man up, Tommy Mayonnaise!

[BBlink]

Probably a better all around receiver than McDuffie at this point but McDuffie likely gets a handful of plays based on pure game breaking talent.

[BlueGoldBozo]

Well hopefully he can pull off a Miracle. Whip those stamps !

[wbbfan]

rather be cautious with any one coming off a concussion. hope hes better soon.

[TBURGESS]

This sucks. Hopefully he's ready for the next game.

[IC Khari]

Bombers have played three games, Dressler has played 5 minutes of those, he's the next Jesse Lumsden, get rid of the bum ...

[Bigblue204]

I'm not surprised by this. Wouldn't be surprised to see him miss the next couple actually. Hopefully Mayo can step up and show something!!!

[Tracker]

Was anyone fooled by O'Shea's pronouncements that Dressler "might" be ready for Calgary? Well, at least we no longer have to hold the Mayo.

Hellman that's for sure...this guy will spread their D and then some....(boredom setting in I guess, to come up with that)

Is Sheppard still around?

[Goalie]

Not surprised at all, Obviously a concussion so better to hold him out and see what Mr Mayo can do. Looked good in pre-season. 

Sheppard is on the PR i believe.

[pigseye]

Thought Sheppard looked better than Mayo in preseason but I like both.

[Goalie]

Sheppard had more drops i think, Mayo brings more speed in my opinion and was pretty sure handed also. 

[IC Khari]

The puns, the puns ... 

[Floyd]

Is Jace Davis hurt?

[LeBird]

I sure hope Dressler gets better soon. We need him but in good shape.

No. he played last game. 5 catches for 82 yards. 

 

Smith. Davis. Adams. Mayo. Kohlert.

If I am not mistaken, this is not Dressler's first bell-ringer and if so, they will need to be extra super careful with him. Don't be surprised if his stay on the IR is more than one game.

I'd start JFG and put in Travis Bond at centre , oh yes I would

I don't believe Sheppard had a single drop in pre-season and he had some really nice catches in traffic were he had to fight for the ball.  As somebody explained earlier, Mayo is closer to Dressler in skill-set and playing WR is probably the better sub. in this situation.

I don't remember Dressler ever having a Concussion. I do remember a few times tweaking the hamstring. That's been a off and on thing, but he has always sort of played through it. Bottom line, dressler needs to smarten TFU and get out of bounds or something. Foolish to take unnecessary hits. I was mad at him watching the game and he doesn't even play for us anymore.

I was quite surprised to hear that he was even trying to practice. I'm going to assume he had headaches and/or dizziness during or after trying to physically exert himself and got shut down. I realize and understand that the football helmet far exceeds the hockey helmet, but then the degree of violence associated with the contact also is much greater. If he had been knocked senseless in hockey he would've been out for weeks, and it just seemed so fast for him to be back a couple of days later.

If Dressler had a serious concussion you wouldn't see hide nor hair of him at practice, as he would confine himself to a bed in a dark, quiet room with no oinky boinky.

Being the Co-Op poster boy is close to becoming the Winnipeg version of the Madden curse.

[KptKrunch]

Bombers can't buy a break. Yeah, it's not his first and the bombers do need to be careful with him. Hopefully he's 100% soon, was looking forward to seeing him and Smith and what they could do together.
