Bombers @ Argos

Derek Taylor   @DTonOB
Bombers roster for Saturday vs the Argos. No Kyrie Wilson for the first time this season. Tony Jones moves into the starting LB spot in his 2nd Bombers appearance.
And no FB with Bailey Feltmate going to 6-game IL

[Blue In BC]

Is Wilson also being moved to 6 game IR? That's another unfortunate blow to the roster. We'll see how Jones does at WIL. A little surprised he bumps Ayers as next man up although he does have some CFL experience.

Obviously no Lawler or Whitehead this week.

We're running out of healthy bodies on defence.

Why are we putting in McGhee instead of whitehead? We already have Bridges, and Griffin rostered.
Our roster mgmt or rather lack of is nuts

Wilson was moved to the 6 game list however at this point its not an indication of how serious the injury is.

Most players now get moved to the 6 game as there is no limit on how many you can remove early from it.

Jake Kelly is the only player on the 1 game injury list.

I'll read between the lines here: We just signed Aaron Grymes. We've got 11 (yes, 11!) secondary athletes dressed (CB/HB/S/SLB). That's not really super typical of us. I thought better defensive line play would help but maybe they've reached a different conclusion and are not super happy with how it's going back there. The secondary is hard to evaluate on outcome alone and it would appear they are looking for more/different options.

We dont look for new options we just recycle old oned

It sort of is. It means they very likely don't expect him to practice next week (because he can't on the 6-game until near the end). Fair, they could take him off on Monday but if it was a minor thing they'd almost certainly 1 game him. He will probably miss a few weeks at this rate.

I'll fact check that assumption, based on who's in the line-up tomorrow:

Tyrique McGhee - 1 CFL game
Marquise Bridges - 4 CFL games
Terrell Bonds - 7 CFL games
Michael Griffin - 18 CFL games (13 with Calgary last year)
Tyrell Ford - 19 CFL games (7 as a starter)

I was referring to the changes on the roster in adding options, Mcphee started out as our main option, he was deemed not good enough as he got whipped in two preseason games, been on the pr off and on or over a year. If they think hes an improvement why roster Bridges? Rather than have Ayers  starting in we put in Jones because he has experience.

We don't do anything to address vets that aren't performing such as Alexander. When we find someone who's not doing the job we go back to players we've previously let go.

My guess is because trying to catch lightning in a bottle is unlikely and only looks good on paper usually.

Why is Chad Kelly on the Argos AR?

One more reason to have extra secondary players against the Argos would be to help cover Grant.

Absolutely. Good point! (it's also a short week against BC and it's possible there are some guys with a few dings. Perhaps depending how the game goes we may want options there).

Man o man are we nicked up

Man o man are we nicked up

Based on the game chart posted - this is at least IMHO the weakest game day roster I have seen in a very long time. Not much there to hope for - at least from what I can see.
