Canada/Finland women's hockey game postponed until Feb. 12th. Looks like 12 or 13 of the Finland players have Norovirus.

I am unclear why everyone thinks we signed Ceresna to be a DT. He plays mostly DE.

He had 1 sack in 11 games last year, strong he is, fast he ain't.  Pretty sure he cycles into the DT rotation in place of Woods and DE's will be chosen from a different pile.

Here he runs over Stanley, this must have been his only sack.

Ceresna and Willie will be our DEs.

Not on a regular basis. He weighs 295 lbs. He's perfect for a DT collapsing the pocket and run stuffing.

Hardrick was in the league for 2 years prior to arriving in Wpg. and played in 20 games for BC and Sask. so they both took a long look at him and still decided to cut him at the end of the season.  I think you're right, his weight affected his ability and he still needs to lose 20 lbs. or more.

Some years back Yoshi credited the Bombers trainers for making him bust his arse to lose weight. He stated that is when he came into his own. He was carrying way too much weight prior.

No shade from me on JY's defense - but I think it was effective despite the lack of big boy talent and not because the design was so pristine. IMO we accomplished an incredible feat last year by holding off so much scoring given the lack of talent we had up front. And I don't care if you say we had no pressure because it was by design - it was by that design because of the lack of personnel to get the pressure.

All of that is moot now though because Ceresna instantly fixes that hole in the middle of the line and frees up JY to basically do anything, especially if our young DEs (if that's the direction we end up going there) overperform and it allows Willie to do Willie things and allows us to present any sort of D combination we need to in order to respond to how the other O is playing at any particular time.
