The 6 game injury list is starting to get a little crowded.
Ball
Clercius
Novak
Santo-Knox
Schmekel
Vanterpool
Dixon
Allen
Based on the last few seasons this seems pretty normal. But at least it's not the superstars this time. Knock wood
What happened to Dixon? I missed most of the game but saw him a couple of times in the game recap/highlights. He looked pretty decent from what I did see, so it's a bit of a shame he's been 6-gamed.
Roster updated now show C. Allen on 6 game IR. Doesn't show Dixon there but the transactions show he was moved to 6 game IR.
Why can't they get all the info in sync?

You'd think it would be synchronized, change a players status on one list and it automatically updates on all lists. Sounds simple.

I can't for the life of me figure out why they're never able to learn, but anything to do with technology and the CFL is never simple.
Well, now that they've basically outsourced all IT to Genius, nothing will get done unless Genius deems it beneficial to the bottom line, or germane to the original CFL contract.
And this isn't just something they would do alone: every team would have to tie into an API so all rosters are synchronized (REST/SOAP, etc). Very doable and wouldn't even take a heap of time, but since it's not bugging anyone except us plebes, not much will happen.
CFL.CA transactions show Reese added from PR and Vibert transferred to PR.
If Fletcher came on for Woodbey then who is Reese coming on for?? I can understand Vibert coming off if Eli is the 6th OL but again there should be a Canadian or a global being added or maybe Boulaine or Kornelson.
Very confusing. Clear as mud.
EDIT: I wonder if being added might mean added to reserve by tomorrow. Eibert was on the reserve last week. So Fletcher and / or Reese might not be necessarily dressing for the game and it becomes a GTD for one of them?
Ya, Vibert RR so this is a nothingburger except he loses out on the bigger paycheck??
Reese might be the guy next on RR.
We might be using RR simply as a way to pay guys more as a bonus. Maybe someone is tracking who tries hardest in practice and this is their reward? I really don't think the RR is being used by us as any sort of "game day reserve". It's just a "you get more money PR" for us.
Darn. Woodbey to the 6 game IR but no word on whether this is season ending. I like the idea of Reese on the roster but wondering how losing Woodbey impacts pass coverage.

Woodbey will impact a lot on D, a rising star. His reps will be hard to replace. But it will help develop some new faces. Really too bad.

considering he was our best non-SAM coverage LB....that's gonna hurt
There are now 9 players on our 6 game IR. That's horrible for the players and for the team. We know it's difficult in every instance to be certain about timelines for recovery. However this is not very transparent.
I mentioned how quickly Dixon was moved to 6 game IR but why did it take until this morning to hear about Woodbey? Obviously some players may be able to return at some point this season. Some like JSK are finished for the season.
I suppose the good news is that we only have 1 player on the 1 game IR. That impacts the SMS less but we're a little thin as the 6 game IR increases.

Rewatched game #1, Smith injured at the start of the 2nd Q, that's when they switched to Kelly. Haven't finished the game yet but did not see Shay get any rotation.

Woodbey was reportedly "walking unencumbered" at Monday's practice so the injury extent wasn't as obvious as Dixon's. I'm guessing they needed further evaluation to make the determination.

That's good to know, but was Smith on the injury reports this week?
Just checked and we actually have 9 players on the 6 game IR!!!. Nobody is listed on the reserve this week. It's just another what the heck decision by the league.

Suspect he was concussed, apparently practiced this week but they're holding him out of the game.

No 1 game IR, they could be messing around with a loophole they've found.

Smith is on the 1 game IR.
The problems with the 6 game IR is that players can't practice until week 5 IIRC. Then it may still requite being transferred to 1 game IR for another couple of weeks getting into game shape.
Not adding players to the reserve saves SMS. Losing those that we have to the 6 game IR might have been where a couple of them were stashed on the reserve. We barely have a PR list now.

Time for KW to hit the phones. Couch-sitters here we come. I'm sure he's already on it.

From O'Shea's interview today it sounds like putting some of these players on the 6-game was a precautionary move, he must be thinking he'll pull some of them off early if they're ready to go. Don't really think there is a penalty for doing so except for having to pay their salary as if they were on the 1 game for a couple of games.

Maybe they've finally learned. There is no reason to 1G anyone, except if he's good enough to practice and you want him to practice. Other than that everyone should go 6G always.

I can't disagree with that idea in theory. If they can't practice then yes for 6 game IR. Once they can practice move them to the 1 game IR until they can play.
The only downside is it's easier to budget when you know a player is on the 1 game rather than then shifting them later.
We've done the opposite in the past and let players sit on the 1 game IR for an extended period before moving them to the 6 game IR.

OShea ALWAYS has a overly optimistic view at least to. The public, (is, he related to Blueforlife?}
A guy could of just broke his leg and he'll tell the media, hes not ruling him out for next game

That sounds way better than the initial fear of season-ending ligament or achilles damage.
If they can't practice because of injury, no reason to not be on the 6 game.
As they heal, and are ready to practice, they can then move to the one game. Or if they are in game 5 or 6, they can practice and remain on the 6 game, pending decision on whether to activate them or put them back on the 6 game.
But it is a waste to have them sitting on the 1 game paying $SMS and not practicing.

O'Shea hinted they have miscalculated in the past, noting they don't get a reset if a player is moved from a couple of weeks on the 1 game to the 6 game. Looks like a measure of efficiency to put everyone on the 6 game asap so the count down begins right away.

It's not very clear who might be healthy anytime soon, based on the new strategy. Getting Ball and Schmekel back might be an upgrade. Ball was having a good TC and must be a better choice than Kelly. Getting Schmekel back could help flip our DL ratio and add more experience. It would also let us add Texada as a DI instead of a DL.
We'll see if anyone recovers while were on our bye. In some cases ( Ball ) that will be at least 4 weeks since practising.
How much was Woodbey missed last night? I'm honestly not sure any more than knowing when he might be back. Having him back would improve some coverage issues.
Aside from that, there is nobody on our PR that I see as helpful on defence where we need it most.

I think Woodbey helps stop the run but he's not much better in pass coverage, Kyrie is another guy getting his chain jerked all over the field, might be a better idea to let these guys settle in one position and focus on doing their jobs. Too much multi-tasking going on.
