Ayers, Kolo and Johnson all were pulled briefly in the game this week. I think they all returned. Ayers and Johnson were pulled for concussion protocol.

Kolo came up limping but I think he returned shortly afterwards?

Did we survive this game without losing more players to 6 game IR?

The bye gives us time to evaluate current players on 6 game IR that might be ready to return. I'm not sure if there are any besides Lawler that might fall into that category.

Haba came off 6 game IR and was moved to 1 game IR. In theory he could well be a candidate to be added to the AR for Aug 18 against the Lions.

We don't have an import on defence that isn't playing well ( on at least ST's ), so I'm not sure who might come off if he comes on.

This would be the time frame where we could see a couple of new faces brought in for the PR. NFL will be releasing some players soon.

Are you thinking we could pick up some Oline help here? Of course, all CFL teams will be looking to improve so it could get expensive.

Not specifically thinking of any positional players. Just thinking the " pool " of available choices increases.

OL generally take a full TC and / or longer to develop. Our long term plan probably isn't staying at 3 import OL but I suppose that could change.

OTOH we've been hard hit at the LB position so that might be an area to add a new candidate. It really depends on how long Cole and Wilson will really be out.

It boils down to who is available to consider, whether we need help at that position or not. There may be a neg list for example that comes free. PR players coming in mid season are here mostly for auditions for TC 2025 unless there are a bunch more injuries.

Hmmmm. A look at a new punter maybe? lol

Argos lose McManis and Hansen to 6 game IR.

That's gonna hurt. Hoping they can find a way to spank the Stamps.

QB Dom Davis signs with the #Alouettes as Caleb Evans is expected to go on the 6-game injured list. @cflontsn

Guessing Fine is asking more, or wanting an opportunity to be better than #3... Pigrome, Pipkin are out there too...

Dom Davis is still kicking around?? He's got to be a better option than Evans, I don't see how that guy is still around.

Dom has had a ton of chances to start and be #2 and #3/SY. He sucks at the first, sucks at the second, and is pretty sucky at the third.

Caleb may still have some way to dev into a legit #2 or #1 (even if we doubt it). And Caleb isn't great at SY, but he's better than Dom.

However, Dom is better than nothing. He'll get you 80% on SY. Better than Cody getting beat up.

Caleb is done for the year - tough way to go, awkward stop/slide

Trevor Harris may be back this week according to Mace.

Quote from: DM83 on August 06, 2024, 04:15:23 PMDidn't Davis do short yardage for BC a couple years ago and was unstoppable?

I'm pretty sure the last time we saw Davis, he couldn't pull off a SY to save his life.

Ya, Dom was probably the worst of the "SY specialists", and it wasn't just in BC, it was also in OTT and ?. Like I said, he was probably around 80% (+/- 10%), which is really bad for a specialist.

The best SY guys have usually been wearing blue & gold the last decade. MOS places a high priority on getting that 1 yard. Even after 2 critical failures in the last 2 games he'll still go for it every time.

Riders lost LB J. Thurman to 6 game IR. Also lost OL R. Sceviour to 6 game IR. Oullette is still out and a couple of other players as well.

OL Council retired this week after playing 1 game.

So two changes on their OL, missing their, RB and QB.

Top LB missing on defence. Back up LB missing. A DL missing too.

Redblacks should win tomorrow.
