MOS has also admitted that Schoen's season is done.
My wife is amazing!

When?  I missed that presser.  Which one?
Never go full Johnston!

We finally got some shots of Hall up in the booth, where I guessed he still was.  He's the eyes in the sky with Younger on the field.  Every shot of Younger though, he's not doing much of anything.  And they showed him a lot, and talked about him this game.

Still seems to me it's Hall up the booth calling the shots.  Just sayin'.  And I don't have a problem with that.

The complete shutdown of the opponent run is his Hall-mark (hehe).  Even with a really lackluster roster our run D is stout.  Biggie and Wilson still getting things done against the run, and the DL isn't too shabby either.

And finally today we had answers for the deep threat!  Alexander in the picture on many deep shots.  Maier throwing into a lot of double coverage.  This is a VERY good sign that we're figuring things out.  Even against a clearly mediocre Maier, it still means we're making headway and fixing problems.

Which, again, is ironic because most of our SMS is tied up on O!  Yet it's the D who still is keeping us in games.  Man... if we could just get our O working to even EDM levels we'd actually win some games.

Ed Tait tweeted out the comment at some point.

That explains it.  No tweets here!  That's why I rely on you guys on the forum.

That said, was Ed just prognosticating or does he have real inside info?  Wouldn't MOS have to come out and say this in a presser on bb.com, or the coaches show?  I'm not sure I'll believe it until I hear it from the horse's mouth, even if it aligns with my prediction.

O'Shea spoke about Schoen's injury in the pregame interview on Friday, the interview can be found on the Bomber site.

Thanks... found it!  That's one of the first times I've seen MOS actually outright say a dude is gone for the year.  Good for him throwing us a bone.  Well, he still hedges it a bit, but clearly it's a dire ACL or something.

Seems like year 3 is often an injury year for players.

Really sucks for Schoen, who has been pretty healthy until now.  Just our luck, eh?  This basically makes our life really difficult for all of 2024.  I hope he's signed thru 2025 so we don't come away from the Schoen 2024 deal with squat!

I'd like to see some statics on the subject, but seems to me the majority of football players suffer season ending injuries at one time or another in their short careers.  It has to be listed very high on the hazardous occupations list.
