Man, thought we'd see less injuries once we got to our bye week.

Is this a 5:00 CST start? The Bomber app isn?t working and every site I?ve seen with the start time doesn?t mention which time zone it?s in.

5:00 pm start is correct.

Looks like Thompson will be backing up Hallett. We will have to wait and see how long that last. Or will they rotate.

We are getting there. Couture, Grant, and Clements on the 1 game.

NH23, GE2, BA37, and DR60, are the only guys I think will come off the 6 game this year.

NH23, BA37, DR60, all practiced last week.

I wonder what the long-term future of Thompson is, he's a bit undersized to play LB but if he put on another 10-15 lbs. he might be able to play or backup dime back until Alexander is done playing Safety.  Regardless, I hope they can hold onto him for a few years as he has a nose for the ball and seems pretty versatile, it would be a pity to relegate him to ST for the next couple of years.

9 starting Canadians on that roster which will be the most I can remember in recent memory.

Interestingly, a similar situation for Saskatchewan.

I have no data to back it up but it seems we haven't created a bunch of turnovers on defence this season. Would love to see some strip sacks and INT's tomorrow.

when we had Stove...he created opportunities for WJ and JJ to do their thing....no offence to Thomas and Sayles but Stove was a beast in the middle and made us so difficult to run against.   He missed the first 6 games last season due to injury and we gave up huge chunks of rushing yards....then he came back and made an immediate impact.   Our LB corp is also pretty beat up so our DBs are having a tougher time of it as well.   Last year our D won games for us and this year not as much albeit our offence has done well.    We've still only lost one game so we must be doing something right....
