...The breakdown of the ritual:

Step 1: Demski and Oliveira do a two-finger peace-sign tap at waist level.

Step 2: The pair then pound closed fists, one on top of the other, to represent the zero in 204.

Step 3: The finishing move is an arm-lock high five, but with the two local products holding four fingers in the air.

"We're obviously both proud Winnipeggers and we want to put on for our city," Oliveira explained. "And playing at home especially we want to put on a show for our family, our friends, and the best fans in the league.

"We talked about the thousand-yard thing earlier today. I told him this already: 'This is the week to go get it.' He's been playing at such a high level but has had injuries in years past. We chatted even before the season that our goal together was to stay healthy for all 18 games and really put it on for our city and put up some numbers. The fact that he has been healthy for us and has been a total game changer for our offence is amazing....."

OUCH REPORT:

Receiver Dalton Schoen was a full participant on Tuesday after missing Monday's session. Also going full out were DE Jackson Jeffcoat, DE Thiadric Hansen and CB Desmond Lawrence.

FYI, WR/KR Janarion Grant was also spotted running during the practice session and maybe available next week.

Grant has been doing sprints for at least 2 weeks. What gives?

Running sprints in a straight line puts different stress on the ankles and knees than hard cuts.  If he can only run fast in a straight line but can't cut, do we want to risk re-aggravating his injury?  Better to let him sit another week or tow and be 100% certain his joints can handle the stress.

Yep! Especially the way Grant can just stop on a dime, if he isn't 100%, he would line himself up to get smoked!
They have to be careful with him. He needs to be playoff ready

Grant is worth the wait just like most good vets.  Good things come to those that wait.  He will be lights out by his 2nd game back.  1st game back will be his 2nd training camp.

for the sake of any other Grant talk, lets just look at the Argos.
They are too scared that an extremely loud crowd and a good team might be too risky to their teams remaining schedule that they are planning to sit what 6? starters?
we clearly know how much Grant means to our return game but what about our special teams coverage? No one talks about Mike Miller? Is he just on the roster to Coach the young guys but get a player salary? he's been 6 gamed what 3 times? Might be a loop hole in that "coaches salary cap" Mike Miller who be huge to our coverage. Going up against a team like Toronto in a regular season game or Grey Cup will require the best special teams coverage possible and our special teams coverage this year is terrible.
