No agenda, just my opinion . Wonder who will be the nationized American this week. Any guesses....? Who was it last week?

Lot's of players on 1 game and 6 game IR that may be part of the mix this week. One key question is whether Kramdi can play because he's a ratio changer. Alternatively Makonzo can also play as a SAM.

If either of those players are added, then it's a domino effect on other changes potentially.

Could use Hallett back after probably losing Ball. Novak has missed 6 games now on 6 game IR but have heard nothing about him being able to practice. More likely he may be out for the rest of the season. ST's are taking a hit with so many injuries.

Everyone is probably waiting to hear about Schoen. The good news is that he didn't get placed on 6 game IR today but he could still end up on 1 game IR this week. This creates a series of possible movement with receivers added and moved in the lineup.

Wouldn't be surprised if Ball also ends up on 6 game IR. That means our depth is getting thin and we may need to airlift some players to the PR, depending on whether anyone comes of the 1 game IR.

Peterson and Vibert are the only Canadians on our PR at the moment.

All this in a short week.

I just re-watched the 2 point convert to see what happened to Schoen. I still don't know. Didn't look like any contact but he came down and had problems with his left leg.

He may not practice today but that may be more slight of hand delaying a bad outcome. That never makes any sense to me. We 6 game IR'd Schmekel already. If Schoen is out, he's out.

On another note I wonder if Vibert has had or is getting any reps on the DL. He's a big guy. It's not unusual to see lineman on both sides of the ball. He's the only Canadian that might fill the bill to get some reps. Seems unlikely but a question.

Hmmmm. Eli as a depth DL. same size as Schmekel. Along with some 3 man fronts and 3 DE's in 4 man fronts is that an option? Our DT's are more fill the gap than get to the QB.

Just tossing out thoughts since our depth is depleted.

The other choices are Woods or Adams.

I vote for the last option, if they wanted to get rid of them they would have cut them, I believe it has something to do with roster, ratio and injury management were they are unable to get them on the field but don't want to lose them. Seems cruel, but I can't pretend to understand their thinking this season. I blame Ed Tait for knowing everything and sharing nothing as an embedded reporter.

Could nationalize Willie J and not have to worry about playing another national on the line. He can play 25 reps and keep fresh.

That would make sense, bet we don't though.

Quote from: Blue In BC on September 02, 2025, 03:24:21 PMWhat else do you call being bumped to the PR when our DL has not bee good for over a year?

Adams and Woods don't have one foot out the door imo

DL has been average imo

The agenda , masquerading as "an opinion" is that everything the Bombers do, is bad. The players suck, O shea is a bad coach and should be fired today, walters is an idiot, and the scouts can't find anything.
Stadium is probably *****, but we haven't seen that (yet)

Oh yeah good ole RoStEr mAnAgEmEnt. Can never go wrong with that one 😂

Out of ten posts by this person, you might find one that makes sense. Doubt it though.

Not really very good at trolling it's far too obvious, and outright silly, to be annoying in any way.

Which is good cause Based on previous experience they, are here for the duration.

Edit.... Maybe somebody, even a fringe former player, who thinks he was slighted by the team. Sure seems quite personal, and spiteful.

Reminds me a lot of a poster at the mbb forum who basically turned it into a hate the Bombers forum.

I hope he doesn't manage to do that here.

They could have kept either one on the 1 game IR. A player is released in order to be added to the PR. Ratio management sure, but there are a number of choices to be made each week.

We need a practice report to see who is getting 1st team reps.

Interview with Schoen yesterday after the game. No mention of any problems with the leg...? cause for hope

I am also questioning whether he is injured or not. Tomorrows practice will tell us a lot.

John Hodge was on Winnipeg Sports Talk today also with Hustler, and the issue of a Schoen injury never came up, for what that's worth.

Nope your heavy bias / negativity will be the only certainty.

Classy guy. In the interview :

Schoen was the target again on the two-point convert attempt that could have forced overtime...

"I could tell I wasn't going to get there on time," Schoen said.

Not only was he open and on time, he had to wait.

Can you fill me in on who the Nationaized American was last game? Can't seem to find it. Surely we used one.....Who wouldn't. Right?

With the skills he demonstrated in the LDC Clercius should now be included in the receivers Zach trusts to make big plays at critical times, he's a solid possession receiver that has the physicality to win fights against smaller DB's for the ball. Plus it would help alleviate the stress on Schoen as he recovers, I like the passes he catches near the turf as opposed to him leaping on a wonky knee to make a difficult reception. Zach has to take care of the guys he relies on or he will end up without his best weapons.
