[OLD] Blue Bombers roster - 2017-2018

[DM83]

I think we can run on these guys.  Basically same game plan as last week.  LBs are the key.  Are they good? or were they just oportunistic?  That is are they fundamentally sound. or can they be tricked.  I vote trickable.

Go Blue!

I have a question hopefully someone can answer. During some of the video recorded interviews of players after practice on the home site, I have observed a player wearing #78 in a blue jersey (defence), but I can't find anyone on the roster that wears #78. Does anyone know who this player is?

Maybe their signing and activating R. Hall to play in the secondary since he can't seem to coach the players he has now. lol

That's Winnipeg Rifle Hayden Nellis. The Bombers should have him listed on the practice roster as a non-counter. He was listed as one of the cuts on countdown day but they never mentioned that he was sticking around.

I would like to see thompkins  given a shot, replacing Bowman. Wasn't he impressive in one of the Exhibition games.

Let's see how Bowman does with Nichols at QB before we go ahead and replace him.

No doubt. Bowman will do just fine with Nichols

#Bombers safety and special teams captain Derek Jones will be placed on the 6-Game Injured List with a lower-body injury. Asked if his season might be over, Mike O?Shea said he would hate to say that. But it sounds like it may be in jeopardy.

This would be an underrated, but big loss.

Shoot. Bad news for a lot of reasons. That's too bad. As far as depth players go he's about as crucial as one gets in that role.

Yep, he's Loffler's backup at safety and he's huge on special teams.  We are now very vulnerable with regards to the ratio if Loffler were to get injured, with knowing his history isn't out of the question. 

[3rdand1.5]

This is pretty big injury should anything happen to Loffler.

Thank you for the information.

That's a considerable hit to the NAT depth on defense.
