Hamilton @ Winnipeg

[Pigskin]

Looking forward to this game. If the Bombers practice Monday it will be interesting to see who is on the field.

I expect replacements for Woodbey and Dixon. I don't think we will see ND10 out there for at least a day or two.  Hearing ZC8 had a bit of a knee issue, but not enough to stop him from playing.

Reese or Fletcher can come in for Dixon. Bouliane is the only LB we have on the PR.

We don't really need another LB and we have no need to replace an import with a Canadian.

Dixon may have pulled a hamstring which can bother a player for an extended time. Hard to say but I expect he misses at least one game. To that end Reese seems more like a replacement as a DE than Fletcher as a DT.

OTOH, getting to BLM is more about collapsing the pocket from the DT's than outside pressure. He's not going to escape to the outside.

That would leave us thin though at DE so that's a little iffy a choice.

Replacing Woodbey will be much more a different choice since we don't have a direct replacement for that role on the PR.

Thanks I remember that now, was hoping it was a cramp.  Did he not return?

He didn't return and it could have been a cramp. If that was the issue players are usually able to return after a series or two. Might have been preventative or game situational. We'll see.

If he does miss some time and they activate a PR DL then we might see if Harris is considered again.

There was some discussions earlier about players declining PR spots. So it's possible he was ranked ahead of those we choose for the PR. Or he may have been ranked lower and not offered a spot.

Regardless, we might now have an open spot on PR and he was with team in TC, so game ready and familiar with the playbook if needed.

Yeah he was rubbing that Hammy, sure hope its not too bad. I don't mind Reese.  Can you tell me more about Fletcher I don't remember much of his pre season reps.

I feel like I saw Dixon sitting out in TC at times with a hammy. It may have been bothering him for a while already and is just playing through it.

Fletcher looked like he could have some upside. He was more of a DT type but many of our DL play inside and outside at times. He missed some TC, got released and brought back when healthy.

To that end I'm thinking Reese would be next man up if needed and a newbie to the PR might be Harris as a DT type.

All of this is compounded by also losing Woodbey as an edge type player and overall depth in our rotation.

It's a short week so Dixon might not practice at all and still be on the game day roster. It's another TBD and we already have 6 or 7 players on the 6 game IIRC limiting some options.
