Quote from: Blue In BC on August 28, 2025, 03:39:28 PMI know Mitchell was moved into a SB spot. In theory maybe they are more capable of moving inside.

As I mentioned in the GDTs, Mitchell may be charted at SB, but he kicked out wide either pre-snap or as an out route on so many occasions I thought they were just faking him being a SB.

Maybe they're trying to practice him into being more of a SB... but ya, if ya can't waggle, get outta da slot!

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on August 28, 2025, 09:55:02 PMI'm guessing Demski and Schoen are good to go, leaving Wheatfall, Clercius and Mitchell to fill out the receiving corps this week.  If they don't do well we could see some changes next week and it could be a dogfight for that 3rd Import receiver spot. I agree there is too many bodies now and not enough jobs.

McLeod is just hanging around this season, if they don't see enough in him they may set him free at the end of the year. Riders, Lions and Stamps are kicking Bomber butt with size at Natl. receiver, this off-season the Bombers need to begin up-sizing that position.  If one of those big Natl. receivers hits FA, they should go after him hard.

Even a PR player is probably costing $1K per week. The off season is when you look for new recruits. Usually we sign back some PR players but few make any final cut down and are the quickest to be replaced.

With the addition of 2 new candidates + Schoen + Sterns perhaps not missing much time, I see him as moot. Again this just seems like more mismanagement of our roster including PR.

Oh well. I guess we'll see who plays this week but I'm pretty sure that McLeod is at the bottom of any list.

Quote from: Blue In BC on August 28, 2025, 07:49:33 PMFair enough. My view is that a " receiver " should be capable of learning multiple roles on offence. Some may take longer than others and be targeted to be depth behind a specific starter. It shouldn't be completely limited to that otherwise we'd need 5 receivers as depth and at least 3 imports.

Obviously we have some Canadian receiving depth but very inexperienced. Our ratio potentially allows us to replace an injured Canadian receiver with an import.

Both Moore and Echols are listed as WR rather than SB's but titles are misleading.

I find the timing a bit curious with Schoen close ( if not this week ) to starting again. We also have McLeod on the PR and could possibly use Logan as a receiver.

Yes we need to replace Sterns this week, but as I've mentioned we're not getting much out Mitchell either.

Hard to say how long Sterns will be out.

I am suggesting Mitchell should be on a very short leash. He needs to produce or be replaced.

If Schoen can return this week or next latest and / or Sterns can return next week, then it's a now or never for Mitchell IMO.

I also question why McLeod is still here with all these issues considered. I hope we aren't forced into starting 3 Canadian receivers this week.

Cramps Harris says.  No concussion.

I'm not on any conspiracy train, but I don't believe anything Harris says. He probably denies his last concussion too.
