Winnipeg @ Hamilton

[Blue In BC]

If I was Collaros I'd go, it is going to be an epic event, and as for us playing Hamilton, we haven't got a prayer man of beating those guys with our soft secondary. They will score 40 no problem, we won't score 25.

He's not going to go or get permission from the team for that. Whether our chances are good or bad is irrelevant.

Id say there is 95% percent chance the team would let him attend. O'Shea knows there's a life outside of football for these guys.

He would be missing a practice and not an actual game.

I don't think Zach would dare ask O'Shea to be excused to go party heading into such an important game.

Do a head count, the Cobb/Corcoran spot is actually the Cobb/Corcoran/MCI/Daniels/Clercius spot. Sub Singer in for Corcoran, Cobb or Clercius and he's still sharing reps with MCI and Daniels as well as coming off the field when they bring Vibert on as the 6th man.  I wouldn't mind if they eliminated the 5th receiver and made Daniels an every down TE, as long as they make good use of him.

Daniels isn't ready to be a contributor right now. Using him and guys like Cobb and Corcoran is essentially playing 11 on 12.

Hard to judge him on his blocking ability but I like what he showed on those 2 receptions despite the fumble. 2 receptions for 51 yds because no one thought to cover him, next game they'll have to keep an eye on him as Zach's check down and it should allow the other receivers more space. Prefer this formation to the 6th O-lineman unless they're going max protect.

No practice today. No IR report from yesterday.

Friday is a practice day. Saturday is a travel day. So no chance he's going to the wedding.

Looks like they practiced today, strange he didn't give them Canada Day off.

Demski also listed as DNP and Ceresna as Limited.

OTOH, Clark, Novak, Ball and Schmekel all practised. I think that's earlier than the 6 game IR allows so either they are bumped to 1 game IR, AR or PR.

Not quite sure what to expect with any of those but it does improve our Canadian replacement depth if and when needed.

Still nothing regarding Woodbey, Allen or Dixon. So that's not great news.

Headed towards a log jam on ST, Stuart and Boulaine currently holding down 2 spots will probably be replaced by Ball and Novak, the leftover 3 go to PR school to learn seniority rules.

Time for Schmeck to contribute, this is his 4th season and he's spent more time on the injury list than on the roster.  Could be like Neufeld though, first 5 years were tough health wise but he's played another 10 since.

Agreed. We're not having problems with our ST's but the injured should be higher on the depth chart than the others mentioned.

Ball might even have a leg up on Kelly as the 6th DB when he's ready to return.

Schmekel seemed to be improving through late last year. He has to win a spot on the AR and if he does, that potentially gives us another ratio option. IDK that he's better than Fletcher but just for arguments sake, let's say he can bump him to the PR.
