Winnipeg @ Montreal

I completely disagree with you. Harris can go long if and when required. Far better arm that Zac. SSK DB's are better than what we have period. SSK OL is better and their DL is light years better. We will not be able to apply pressure on Harris and if we do his wideouts will beat our DB's everytime.

Yes, but SSK & Trevor go long only to keep you honest and loosen up the short game.  Or when they get/see a bust.  They don't go long as general rule, as a normal every-down read option.

There's a reason Trevor has a top completion %.

How many deep shots the other day in non-garbage time?  One?  Hogan/Zach will take 4+ a game, even when it's not there.

They even said it in this last game.  Trevor is "TWIG", take what I'm given, or something like that.  That's why he takes the 6Y checkdown and 11Y wide out all game long.

The key is if we finally trick someone for once by making the "free wide out" appear to be open, but not.  Like CGY burned Zach on...

As for their OL, they seem to be playing better, and seem impenetrable, but they are a hodgepodge of injury replacements with like 5 OL on the IR.  How much really is just Trevor getting the ball out after just 1.5s?  No DL will dent an OL in that amount of time.

SSK also has a superb mix of run/pass.  Basically what our bread & butter used to be.  They stole it.  That's how you win GCs.

All of this (which is coaching/scheme) makes all of QB, OL, RB and RECs look better than they actually are.  So, disrupt their scheme!!  We should be able to... it's our scheme!  Our M.O.!

Morgan looked pretty confident. I don't expect any less of a challenge than if it was MBT or Evans playing.

So did that guy CGY fielded when VAJ was hurt.  Morgan threw about as many balls straight into the turf as Brohm did in one of his starts here!

As of right now he's in over his head.  He'll make new-to-live-CFL mistakes.  Guaranteed.  Might be a great night for WPG D in fantasy!

[TecnoGenius]

Exactly. We do have troubles with inexperienced QB's in the past. It's time we break that failure.

Yes, but almost always running QBs.  I can't remember the last time a pure pocket passer came off the bench and beat us.  I guess Dolegala in that one LDC?  Wasn't that game like 16-13 or something?  He didn't win, their D did.

We seem to require advance notice before we can magically beat a running QB.  That's why it was a bit worrying when Crum took over for Dru last game...

rumors on twitter have Shea Patterson heading to Montreal.

Boys are on the field today at 11:10. Will be interesting to see where everyone is lining up.

Big play for Harris are always those crossers, Sask. has a number of receivers that are good at picking up YAC and they're hard to defend against because the receiver catches the ball in full flight. LB's can't keep up and if the DB's don't know it's coming it's hard to get to the spot of reception on time.

He's got the big brace on though. Maybe he'll need that the rest of the season.

Schoen won't come off the 6 game IR just yet but it's good he's back practising.

Any of Logan, Lawson and Houston could be added to the AR. That would require some ratio or adjustments to PR etc.

I doubt Dandy has any chance to be the AR this week or any time soon.

No mention of Vanterpool or Parker practising though?

I see Logan and Lawson being added to the roster this week.

No changes at practice to the starting offence and defence.

Dalton Schoen is in full gear for the @wpg_BlueBombers this morning. We'll see how much he practices today.

Demerio Houston wearing #9 for the @wpg_BlueBombers and Russell Dandy #37

First day of Bombers practice ahead of Thursday's game in Montreal:
RB Peyton Logan practicing for the first time since camp.
DT Cam Lawson back in after two weeks out.

REC Dalton Schoen is in uniform for warmup. Wearing a brace on that left knee.
He's gone five games on the six-game injured list. So he is allowed to return to practice without coming off the list,

FB Michael Chris-Ike not practicing today. A few weeks ago he took a single day off to rest a knee problem.

... and a partial post
John Hodge
I'm at practice here at Princess Auto Stadium...

Yes, there is more to this post but I thought I would poke fun at the fact that Hodge has to note that he was actually at a practice.
