Ottawa @ Winnipeg

[Pigskin]

Short week for both teams. Bombers will probably only have one practice. They have to figure out the secondary. Might be time to give Mr. Houston a call. I am expecting to see Cam Allen get some first team reps this week.

Good point about Allen

[TecnoGenius]

We may be royally screwed.  This schedule stinks.  I don't really see what they can do in so short a time.

And OTT is on the upswing and looking pretty darn stout with lots of hunger and compete.  Dru will want to show up his old team.

[Waffler]

Dru will want to show up his old team.

I don't think so. The parting of ways was just a promotion for him, we wanted him to stay. I did read that Bighill had our game circled on the calendar though. Maybe we'll play them one more time though.

[GOLDMEMBER]

We lose to these guys we're done for the season.

[Blue In BC]

We don't even have a lot of options to change in the secondary. Allen is it unless one of the cuts after TC is still hanging around town.

I'm surprised Kelly has been playing as much as he has. He may have upside but he came off a long recovery from injury in 2024. He may not be ready mentally or physically to be on the field this much.

Don't like how this is shaping up. Our secondary was weak to begin with, we lose bonds and are really weak at safety, and Brown has got a gun for an arm. We need this win to keep pace in the standings. I think Ottawa will focus on shutting down the run and force us to pass , and we saw what happens when we go away from the run in the second half vs Calgary. We need to keep the ball out of browns hands as he is going to light us up

Woodbey and Allen are the only two DB's left on the PR. Woodbey size at 6'1" 231 is more like a LB.

Yeah too heavy to cover man

Very good analysis

Ottawa game Critical but not as do or die as some make it out to be

[The Zipp]

here are the numbers for Wheatfall:

Over his first three games of the season, Wheatfall had 275 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Over his last five outings, he has 120 yards. In four of those games, he failed to reach 25 receiving yards.

no reason not to put Mitchell in his spot at this point - he is invisible and not contributing. 

it's either Hogan, Zach or Wheatfall himself contributing to this terrible trend.  this isn't one bad game - it's 5 in a row. 

who is looking at these trends of disappearing offense and players and doing something about it.  we are no longer at the start of the season. get some answers or get someone who can. 

if Hogan can't get it straight then demote him and move Jarious into the role.

 It seems like Hogan comes out with a decent game plan, but can't adjust on the fly. Calgary threw a different D look at us in the second half and he had no answer.

What happened to Kramdi at Safety??? Every time I saw him he was back playing SAM and Kelly was getting scorched, great athlete but more of an observer than a participant. Reminds me of Cauchy Muamba in his ineffectiveness.

As for people wishing for the return on Demerio Houston, he was charged with domestic violence so he's likely been blacklisted from the CFL.

[Zach Schnitzer]

I was wondering the same thing about Kelly.

Pass on Mitchell over Wheatie imo, but Mitchell might slowly come on, sure hope he can, I see much promise with Wheatie
Pass on demotion
Both knee jerk imo

Wheatie's disappearing act is troubling

Likely getting a lot of attention and they taking him out of the game, Schoen would open him up on his return.

The OL play has a lot to do with Wheatie'a issue.  Can't find him deep when getting chased like a chicken every 2nd play.

Our play at receiver is concerning but I do think Sterns is decent.

Thanks for the stats very telling

Should have just paid the money LaPolice wanted
