Rough Riders at Blue Bombers pre-game Discussion

[bwiser]

If 100%, Wilson is as fast as a fast QB or RB.  He'll track you down and nail you.  In terms of deeper pass coverage: pretty useless and a bad matchup, just like most/all WILLs.  At most you have him in a mid-range zone as an extra guy they aren't expecting.

Anyone remember the 2021 Grey Cup? Wilson made the play that clinches the Grey Cup. Big time players make big time plays.

Kyrie can still play, question is how many games will it take him to get up to speed?  With Oullette and Armstead running the ball he's going to have to stick his nose in on the first play of the game. Tough game to come back for him and BA, but they need that physical presence behind the D-line.

Very true but as I suggested earlier he doesn't have to start necessarily. He'd be the rotation and depth guy for an in game injury.

They have him listed as the starter but also as a GTD. That's a bit of a contradiction.  Cole started at WIL the last 2 games and I suggested that it would be Ayers that would be taken off the AR.

Posters made a good point about how good Ayers is on ST's but is it better than taking Cole off instead?  Cole was playing well. We choose to add Taylor and Alexander instead of keeping the extra LB.

Obviously another move can be made at game time so it could be any combination of 2 out of those 3 LB's?

You'd think the depth chart is what they expect to happen.

All the players that came off were moved to 1 game IR as well as Case moved from PR to 1 game IR. That suggests they want him around for TC in 2025. IIRC, all these IR players are exempt from the SMS ( post season ), but will get playoff money.

Sucks to be left on the PR for the others.

Two words:  Matt Nichols.

As well as Maston, maybe Ian Wild, ... I'm sure I could come up with many more who were IR to end a season and never offered another contract.

We may do it less than other GMs, but we still do it.  Nasty business.

Nichols shoulder injury ended his career. The Bombers knew he was done. He ended up playing in 5 games after leaving the Bombers. 63/96, 544 yards, 0 TDs, 3 Ints, 5.7 avg. He was done.

MM played  6 games for the Bomber. He was also injured, and never played another game in the CFL.

Matson was a shame he got hurt. He played really well in the Bombers 2019 Grey Cup run but a torn achilles in training camp pretty much ended his career.

Deatrick was the one who pushed it to overtime with an amazing pass knockdown if I recall correctly. That was the ball game right then and there
