Huge game for the Bombers. Vernon Adams Jr. likely to be back in action for this game.
Latest injury report is here...
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GxsojuxWsAAOCJe?format=jpg&name=small)
Ed Tait's 48-Hour Primer focuses on the addition of Dexter Lawson Jr. and he versatility to the team.
"...Let's use defensive back Dexter Lawson, Jr. as an example here: signed by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as a free agent after spending the last two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, he was among the club's final cuts after training camp back on June 1st. Less than two months later he got a call back from the Blue Bombers and he could very well be patrolling the cornerback spot opposite Terrell Bonds this Saturday in Calgary against the Stampeders.
"I'm always ready when my number is called. The way I prepare, it's as if I'm up every week and staying ready and making sure I perfect my craft and doing everything I can do to help this team," Lawson, Jr. told reporters after Blue Bombers practice earlier this week. "I just try to make everyone else's job a lot easier. I know what I can do and that's my biggest asset — understanding the people's jobs around me so that way I can help where I need to and scratch where it itches.
"Wherever the guys need me to be at or however I can take some stress off their plate I try to help them in that area...."

Depth Charts will be available tomorrow. Time to extend the current win streak!
The Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers will have their starting quarterbacks available in Week 10.
After Vernon Adams Jr. and Zach Collaros missed their Week 9 contests with head and neck injuries, respectively, they have both been listed as available on their teams' official injury reports.
Both quarterbacks were injured during their Week 8 games and did not finish those contests.

You are too used to the Bombers having the same roster and bursting out of the gate.
For most teams, you need time to gel and get everyone pulling in the same direction. It's gonna start coming together soon, you'll see.
I think both teams score 30+. Just hoping we come out ahead in the end.

I guess, our ST and D showed signs last week, but our O, yikes, even with ZC8 in, I can see Demski and BO making plays, but not so much the others, its tough to score 50 points. We'll see sure enough
Peterson, Mitchell and Lawson added from PR. Cooley, Cobb, Artopoeus and Woods moved to PR.
I didn't think Woods would be moved to PR, but so be it. That suggests Lawson will be good to go at DT?
The long wait to see what Mitchell can / will do as a starting receiver beings this week.
It doesn't appear we'll be using a 3 import OL. I don't know if that means Lofton at RT or Randolph maintaining his starting role. IMO it's status quo for this week. I'd expect Lofton moved to 1 game IR?
Bryant and Collaros still to be added.
I think, Woods can still be added to AR. He came off the 6-game IR, I believe.
Quote from: M.O.A.B. on August 07, 2025, 11:39:20 PMI think, Woods can still be added to AR. He came off the 6-game IR, I believe.
Why would they move him to PR instead of directly to AR if that was the plan?
from DT:
Changes coming for the Bombers per the CFL transaction wire:
IN: QB Zach Collaros, WR Dillon Mitchell, DB Dexter Lawson, RB Matthew Peterson
OUT: WR Gavin Cobb, RB Quinton Cooley, QB Chase Artopoeus.
DB Jamal Parker will go to one of the injured lists.
Quote from: The Zipp on Today at 01:44:40 AMIN: QB Zach Collaros, WR Dillon Mitchell, DB Dexter Lawson, RB Matthew Peterson
All good except Parker. They'll pick on Lawson to test his mettle...
Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 01:02:51 AMWhy would they move him to PR instead of directly to AR if that was the plan?
Woe, guess he's not replacing Jake anytime soon, not as good as most thought? Surprising move, maybe someone slapped their fingers about stacking the 1 game with non-injured players. If Lawson is iffy, they might have to dress Schmeck to back him up.
Woods might be out of luck unless they take Ayers of the "DL". Person is showing too well to take him off now and they haven't stacked the DL in a while.

If Lawson is iffy, don't dress him at all. Give him a week or two off. Schmerk is healthy and ready to go.
Lofton added to the 6 game?!?
yaaay the coaches figured out how to prepare a pro athlete to play a similar position. Mitchell can play SB and doesn't need a position with a stationary start.
good work!!
I like the Mitchell addition. Woods should have come on for Ayers who has played 17 defensive snaps total in 7 games. Not a fan of a Jake+Tanner DT rotation.

Add to roster:
QB Vernon Adams
Receiver Clarke Barnes
Receiver Jalen Philpot
DB Jackson Sombach
LB Morice Blackwell
Roster changes, August 9 vs Winnipeg (2 of 2)
Remove from roster:
To Practice Roster:
Receiver Daylen Baldwin
Receiver Vyshonne Janusas
DB Dolani Robinson
To 1-game:
QB Josh Love
OL Tomas Jack-Kurdyla
INSTA-ANALYSIS: Stampeders offense receive a huge boost with QB Vernon Adams plus Canadian receivers Clarke Barnes and Jalen Philpot returning to the fold. Not only is there plenty of experience returning to the field, but the Stamps much more ratio flexibility than in Ottawa.
Hmmmm. The good news is that Parker and Lawson only went to the 1 game IR. That may mean Parker isn't lost for the season and could be back in a shorter time frame. Lawson was " limited " so he should be back much sooner.
The bad news is that Lofton is back on the 6 game IR after only playing 1 game?
I don't get the sticking with weak interior DL when Woods was available. For that matter I'm surprised he was moved to PR. If he's not deemed very good, then find a new player for the PR depth.
That's a lot of roster movement over the past 2 weeks. Some expected and some not. I have concern about our depth at DT but Person was getting a lot of reps last game and playing well and seemed to be used inside and outside.
We need to be able to get pressure on VAJ.
Lawson out is bad news for us although the one game list is hopeful. Mitchell better play hungry. Lofton back off is irrelevant as long as Bryant and Randolph stay healthy but we're playing with fire with Eli being the only backup offensive lineman. Like that Jonathan Jones stays on. Not sure what the fascination is with Ayers. He's shaping up to be this year's Navy Seal. I get he's tough and athletic but neither really matter much if he can't chip in somewhere on defense. Being tough and athletic on the sideline isn't helpful.
I think OShea plans at least one roster move every game to screw with us.
Last week it was case, this week its not putting woods in and adding smeckle

Schmekel should have been playing behind Lawson for most of year anyway. There's no way that he can't average .4 defensive tackles (yes point-four) a game while providing better upside.
Our Canadian DTs haven't been good all season. Tanner will get his chance to make some plays and prove he should be on the AR.
Ayers is probably never coming out of the line-up, unless he's injured. He one of our top STs players and, and MOS loves those type of guy's.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers to start Dillon Mitchell for first time against Stampeders
By 3Down Staff -August 8, 2025
Veteran receiver Dillon Mitchell will make his debut with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when the team visits the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night.
The 28-year-old signed with the team in January following his release from the Edmonton Elks. He was healthy scratch for the first six games of the regular season and was demoted to the practice roster last week against the Toronto Argonauts.
The six-foot-one, 190-pound target caught 130 passes for 1,896 yards and 12 touchdowns over 45 regular-season games with the Elks and was also productive on special teams, recording almost 1,000 return yards on punts and kickoffs.
The native of Memphis, Tenn. started his professional career as a seventh-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was a collegiate standout at the University of Oregon where he recorded 1,184 receiving yards in 2018, which remains the second-best single-season total in program history.
As anticipated, Zach Collaros has also returned to the starting lineup after missing last week's game due to a neck injury. The veteran passer has thrown for 1,031 yards, seven touchdowns, and eight interceptions over five regular-season games this season, posting a 2-3 record.
The Blue Bombers made several other changes to their lineup this week as Dexter Lawson Jr. will start at field-side cornerback in place of Jamal Parker, who has been placed on the one-game injured list due to a leg injury. Stanley Bryant will start at left tackle after missing three games due to an ankle injury with Eric Lofton, who started last week's game, being moved to the six-game injured list.
Defensive tackle Cameron Lawson has been placed on the one-game injured list with a hip issue, making room for Tanner Schmekel to make his season debut. Rookie quarterback Chase Artopoeus, rookie running back Quinton Cooley, and Canadian receiver Gavin Cobb have all been moved to the practice roster, while Canadian ball-carrier Matthew Peterson has been promoted back to the active roster.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (4-3) will visit the Calgary Stampeders (5-3) on Saturday, August 9 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Blue Bombers are coming off a close win over Toronto, while Calgary got crushed by the Redblacks 31-11.
The weather forecast in Calgary calls for a high of 21 degrees and a 60 percent chance of showers. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on 680 CJOB in Winnipeg and 770 CHQR in Calgary.

I was never certain that Woods was better than Adams but being healthy gives us injury insurance. However the larger question is whether he's better than any of our Canadian DT's and should be on the AR instead of Ayers.
It still seems a bit surprising that he ended up on the PR instead of the 1 game IR where we've hidden other players.
Regardless, we've shuffled the PR around a bit over the past couple of weeks. Some new faces and some departures.
I expect that to continue shortly as the NFL starts making some cuts and players become available.

I'm not positive, but I thought Woods was on the roster ahead of Adams several times last season.
I definitely think it would be a better use of our roster to get Woods on ahead of Ayers, but we also see many 3 man fronts.
Speaks to our depth that the best choice to put in to replace Lawson is Smeckle. (and not in a good way)

Sure but that may have been injury related issues and / or Adams has progressed faster while he's been playing. I don't honestly know but like I said, it's better that he's now available if needed.
Quote from: Pete on Today at 04:23:09 PMSpeaks to our depth that the best choice to put in to replace Lawson is Smeckle. (and not in a good way)
Ratio always comes into play when choices are made. The best players don't always get on the AR as a result. I was still trying to figure out why Kornelson made the AR ahead of Schmekel to start the season and is now on the PR. Did he digress while the other improved?
Being bumped to the PR is never a good sign for a player.

He's a versatile player who has yet to be versatile. And you said Bridges showed lots of promise, right?
Official: Vernon Adams Jr. returns for Calgary Stampeders to face Winnipeg
By 3Down Staff -August 8, 2025
The Calgary Stampeders will officially have Vernon Adams Jr. back in the starting lineup when the team hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old passer missed Calgary's loss to the Redblacks last week due to a head injury he suffered the previous week against Montreal. The veteran has thrown for 1,913 yards, nine touchdowns, and six interceptions over seven games so far this season, posting a 5-2 record as a starter.
The five-foot-eleven, 190-pound target joined the Stampeders this offseason via trade from the B.C. Lions. He led the team to two wins over the Blue Bombers earlier this season, throwing for a combined five touchdowns and one interception in those outings.
The Stampeders may also have Canadian receiver Jalen Philpot back in the lineup, though he's listed as a game-time decision. The veteran target missed last week's game due to a hamstring injury and he had varied participation in practice this week as he was limited on day one, a non-participant on day two, and a full participant on day three.
Canadian receiver Clark Barnes will officially return to the lineup after missing a month due to an ankle injury. He scored a touchdown in his most recent game — a 37-16 win for Calgary over Winnipeg in the Stampede Bowl back in Week 5.
Breakout star defensive tackle Jaylon Hutchings is dealing with a calf injury and has been listed as a game-time decision. Canadian defensive back Jackson Sombach has returned to the lineup from a hamstring injury and will be the backup to starting safety Damon Webb.
Canadian defensive back Adrian Greene and Ben Labrosse remain out due to injury, which means Godfrey Onyeka will make a second-straight start at field-side cornerback.
The Calgary Stampeders (5-3) will host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (4-3) on Saturday, August 9 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Blue Bombers are coming off a close win over Toronto, while Calgary got crushed by the Redblacks 31-11.

Ayers is a good ST player but we saw last week that J.Jones is also very good and is more probable to start at WIL than Ayers. In that sense Ayers is more expendable on defence whereas Woods might have been beneficial this week with Lawson out.
Check again after the game on whether our interior DL was able to contain their rushing game and collapse the pocket.
In fairness we don't know how the team perceives Woods,Schmekel or Kornelson. That said, Woods had 20 DT's in 17 games and Schmekel has 6 in 17 games.
Looking forward to seeing what Mitchell can do.
So good to get Bryant back in as well.

Ayers is very athletic, and we also have Shay and Smith, but we don't seem to want to play them on regular snaps. Ayers appears to be an upgrade on Cole but our penchant to not play young players unless we have to doesn't help development.
I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt to the coaches on the Woods decision. Maybe he's just not yet in game shape

I agree. I look at players like Alford and Veresuk. Veresuk has been outstanding for Hamilton. 33 Dts, 2 STs, 1 Int, 1 TD, 1 FF.
2024 Adams. 14 Games, 16 DTs, 1 ST, 4 Sacks.
2024 Woods. 17 Games, 20 DTs, 2 Sacks.

Seems to be the case, MOS mentioned he is practising and making good progress. From the same article also sounds like Randolph has won the RT job over Lofton, question is who gets Stanley's job when he's done Lofton or Vanterpool?

Lofton was practicing on Monday and played LT, trading snaps with Bryant. Something must have happened.

I remember last season like this as well. I think Woods got the start when both were healthy.
Both of them are very talented. I think Adams is a little better pass rusher and Woods is relentless at attacking the run.

Calgary looks like they have their full team back. Bad news for the Big Blue as they will not be able to handle VA and the Calgary receiver sets will overwhelm the very small and not that good Bomber Secondary. The Stamps OL is solid and their DL is better than ours.

With Alford out, the only receiver they have over 6'1" is Rhymes. Horton and Brooks are smaller than any of our DBs.
Adrian Greene still out for them which is a huge piece of their secondary.
Any reason why Woods couldnt have been added as DA other than Jones/ayers coming off

It could be he's still a bit nicked PLUS Randolph is doing ok @RT. I still think Lofton is better (esp pass pro). Maybe Randolph is proving better at run blocK?
Hiding him on the 6G is a great idea, though. And it's great depth for late season.

Review your game film, Lofton played LT in place of Stan last week.
Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 09:16:04 PMReview your game film, Lofton played LT in place of Stan last week.
Oops, ya, sorry. Other than last week.
I'm pretty sure Lofton played LT only because a) Stan nicked, b) Randolph stunk there, c) Vant nicked. I'm nearly positive Lofton is not the heir to Stan. However, once again, it's nice to have the flexibility we currently have.
