Wheatfall and Parker only on 1 game IR. That's encouraging that they may return before the end of the season. Wheatfall in particular looked to be a player headed to 6 game IR after that collision.

Well, Woods is finally going to get his chance to show he should be in the line up. Ayers back as expected. I was hoping to finally get a look at Bailey.

Yes in particular because with Person off we've reduced our depth at DE. It would have been such an easy addition with Bailey instead of Hallett as the 2nd global on the AR.

EDIT: Whoa back up the wagon. Person is still shown on the AR even though transaction showed him moved to PR earlier?? It doesn't change the issue about Bailey who might have been more beneficial than Hallett.

LOL Trying to anticipate the roster moves has become a hopeless pursuit, according to the transactions list Person is still on the PR.  The co-ordination between the roster, the depth chart and the CFL transaction list has become a joke. I'd like to blame Genius Sports but don't know if it's their fault.

It's going to be really interesting to see which version of Zach we get, seems to me he has not had an outstanding game this season and not expecting one against the Ti-Cats. It's time to establish a strong 3 team effort coming from the Ottawa win, that can control the ball without turnovers and grind out wins. Any thing's possible.

I get that,near end of the game, but priority should be protect Zac and good things will happen. If you can throw defence off their rhythm  it could help. Weve all seen result with current protection

You're misreading me then.  We do max clock bleed ALL GAME EVERY GAME (not just at the end) when we are ahead or it's close (1 score).  It's part of the MOS M.O. for many years now.

I totally agree we should do more of the quicker-huddle-break fake-waggle D-reads hard-counts type things.  And I know we can because on my WPG@OTT rewatch Strev was doing those things a few times.  One of them is when Brady went and busted one for 20Y after Strev changed things up with an audible.

But they do take away focus from the clock bleed.  And Zach doesn't seem to do them as much.  (Though he often tries the hard count.)

I think Zach, and the whole O, know it's time to turn it ON.  Dawdling all season with their fingers up their noses.  Gotta produce now.

As expected Hallett comes on.  Makes sense extra DB.  Excited for Woods, time to eat my friend.  Ayers is going no wayers lol.  Nice that Person is on.

OL needs to play well.  Play calling has to be better.  Zach slinging and BBB.  Excited.  Weather is mint.  Bad conditions would have favored us imo.

I would put Wilson in for 2nd and short, maybe a deep shot? Use Strev 3rd and short.  Give Wilson a taste.  0% chance lol.

Zach lives and dies by the play of the OL. Success of BBB 2nd biggest factor.

Woods gets on because of the opening created by Parker off the roster this week. No problem given the choices available.

Last week Lawson stuck on the roster because we lost Griffin.

We don't know when either of them will return but it's an interesting turn of events. I already mentioned it's not quite clear how we replace the role Griffin added. Adding a DT isn't what you'd expect to do but we've lost so many DB's this season.

Here's hoping Woods makes the most of his new chance and let the chips fall where they may when we get one of the DB's back later.

Since neither practised this week that may still be a week or two away.
