Injury thoughts?

[TecnoGenius]

How'd we do in the WDF injury-wise?

Demski looked like he twisted an ankle or something.  Hitting the ground like it was bad.  But he walked off and came back and finished the game, even making some plays.  Is this something he could keep playing on that day but will flare up during the week?  Obviously Demski is 100% required for our O.

Noah Hallett got dinged up and was sitting on the turf for a very long time, but walked off.  Didn't see what happened.  Didn't see if he returned.  Who's the next NAT STer up?

Anyone else notice any other injuries?

The "hope they aren't still injured" guys like Kyrie and BA37 looked great and showed no issues whatsoever.

What's the chance Woli is back?  Emperor Clercius has been good for us, but I don't think he got a target in WDF?  We all know Woli will get targets.

Woli is still listed on the 6-game, so I don't think he'll be back this year. Clercius caught Zach's first completion and wasn't thrown to again.

I forgot Kramdi.  He was dinged up on a ST play.  Suits said Chris-Ike friendly-fire, but I'm not sure about that.

I think he did come back in after, though we did see a lot of Griffin.

Hopefully Kramdi is good to go.

It's strange, practice reports like a month ago were reporting Woli running around.  (Not sure if in uniform or not.)  But the general feel was he was getting close.

I guess Woli must have had a setback?  Does anyone even know what was wrong with him (besides "lower body"?).  It wasn't a season-ender, yet it seems to have ended his season.

I see most of the IR guys on the sidelines for games (Strev, Schoen, Biggie, etc), but I don't recall seeing Woli for ages.  Weird.

Woli was definitely on the sidelines for the WF.

Last time he came back, he didn't get through a half. I hope he's just going on ice until next season.

IDK. Transactions had him moved to 1 game IR last week but roster shows him on 6 game IR. Today's transactions show those deleted from the PR last week added back to PR.

What they do or why in some of these transactions is strange.

[Jesse]

Well, knowing MOS, Woli and anyone else close will be back on the roster to get their name etched on the Cup in the event of a win.

Hope it doesn't bite us in the butt too hard.

That's pretty cynical. However I don't think we have a bunch of players that are close. Woli might be a long shot and we'll see if he's practising this week. As discussed last week about possible changes, he doesn't have to start but could be the rotation receiver. He's a very good blocker. Who he might replace might depend on injuries rather than position.

Noah Hallett was nicked and might come off the roster this week as an example.

Do players on IR get game checks for the Grey Cup and their name on the trophy if the team wins?  As far as I know there is not longer an SMS charge on IR post regular season?

That's what I was asking!  No one seems to know?

My guesses are:

rings: AR/IR/PR
cup names: AR/IR
playoff money: AR/IR

Though IR may be excluded from the last 2?  Besides "protection", there must be a reason to stack guys on the 1GIR instead of the PR come this time of year?

SMS is over with.

I do not know if any players not on the AR get the play-off cheques. I doubt it, but no idea.

Cup names are only players on the AR.

That's a bit harsh if that's how things work. I understand a team may have 20+ players on their IR at the end of the season and some may have missed the entire season. We have 16 at the moment and all of them played in at least 1 game. Bighill played 10. Cole played 11 and Woods played 17 games.

There is a fine line between name on the Grey Cup, play off money, rings or SMS. I say SMS because some players were added to IR for the last regular season game. Whether they were actually injured is a little iffy.

It doesn't seem fair that players that have played more than half the season don't get included for money. I can understand that if you didn't actually dress for the game then no name on cup or ring. That seems logical IMO.

Hard to say how exactly this should change but that's another discussion after the season.

Play off money appears to be for AR and IR, but not PR.

48 names are written on the Cup. The 44 team active roster and 4 coaches.

Inscribing so many players names on the GC is a bit silly, as very few people actually see them and eventually space will run out.  It's time for championship trophies in all leagues to be backed up by a digital counterpart that can provide a complete background on all players and the history of their season in a time capsule format accessed by a simple QR code that can be scanned with a cell phone.

Yes and no. We're talking a small number of player that might qualify. In the case of the Bombers it's 3 players this year.

Again I was suggesting those players should qualify for " pay " but neither rings or name on trophy.
