Rider dirtbag DNA shows itself. LOL!

Alexander would look good in a Blue Bomber Jersey.

Quote from: TecnoGenius on July 25, 2024, 10:58:01 PMYay (as one of the biggest Masoli fans)! And I was just mentioning him. Seems a bit early.

If I'm OTT, I'm putting Masoli in for a series to hopefully show he's still got it, then dangle him as trade-bait in front of MTL. He's totally superfluous in OTT now: he's on the "pity roster".

But he has to prove he's still got it first! From MTL's perspective they get a possibly GC-level guy for a very tiny SMS hit.

I think MTL has found their next guy in Alexander... he looked impressive. Hard no to Masoli

Ya, easy to say hard no to Masoli now! MTL has the next Rourke right there, or so it would seem after 1 half... But who could have seen that coming? Before tonight no one had ever heard of the guy.

Now it's Cody that better look over his shoulder!!

Love Wilson but, he has only played in 46 games for the Bomber in the last 5 years. About 9 games per season and back on the 6 game again.

Yeah where did this guy crawl out of last night? I thought the game was over at halftime for the CRYDERS and then I get back to watching it later in the evening and Montreal leading! Lost my pool pick, but seeing the CRYDERS choke is still nice!!

The Banjos were playing old sad country songs last night in Riderville!

Ya, it's Ian Wild syndrome. It might be a function of the position. So many big hits so often and the body starts falling apart. Wilson may be the most important piece in our LB corps from a physical standpoint. He's so good against the run, decent at blitz... it's a real loss when he's out. Remember the start of '23 when he wasn't in and we really struggled against the run?

However, he's extremely good, so you don't just ditch him. What's most important is to be grooming the next WILL so when he's out we have good options. With Cole gone we are extremely limited right now.

Quote from: DM83 on July 27, 2024, 01:47:15 PMLinebackers or strong safeties are really a dime a dozen. We should be able to fill his position easily. He is a very good CFL LB..

Well, the new Jones guy did a pretty good job tonight! I wonder how he'll score out. But I wouldn't say they're easy to obtain... we've had a hard time finding high quality WILLs when Wild and Wilson have been injured.

I guess we'll have to see if Woli and Neufeld will play this week. It's a short week which doesn't help. I think Woli just had his bell rung but he might have hurt his shoulder as well.

Didn't see Neufeld get hurt but that would force an import OL onto the AR probably with Eli starting?

I'm not sure that Neufeld got hurt. I think he was replaced based on his play.

Ok. Good to know but he may be partially nicked which impacted his play. I don't know but if he's just relegated to a back up, then that doesn't force an import OL onto the roster. If an import is a better choice to start over Eli or Wallace I'd have to question why we didn't do that earlier.

If Woli can't play, I'd expect Whitehead to play in his spot. We need another back up receiver on offence even if Woli can play.

There are 12 back up players on defence and only 4 on offence ( excluding QB's ): Eli, Wallace, Augustine and Case. That's not a good combination.

He was limping around pretty badly out their.

Fair enough, but he's been doing that for a while now.

With Woli it's hip/lower back.

Ya, Woli got cranked, I felt it from my couch!!! Hope he's ok. He's our Mr Reliable out there and a veteran presence to calm the anxious youth we have in our lineup. If he's out, that means we're down to Demski from our starting recieving corps and he's definitely got ball security issues he needs to cleanup.
