Bombers' Injuries in Banjo Bowl

LXTSN · September 14, 2022, 08:39:18 PM

Looks like Stanley Bryant practiced in full today. That's a great sign!
Couture and Alexander have been full for a couple weeks, so I'm hoping they are all the way back this week! Still curious to see who gets bumped from that OL crew, or if they just keep 7 on the AR...

Overall, Bombers are still in better shape than the majority of CFL teams when it comes to injuries up to this point in the season. As of now, the Bombers are 7th in man games lost to injuries per game.

Agree, seen that thanks for posting, I thought we were worse off.

These are meaningless numbers, tbh.

They only track total games - Losing a starter is the counted the same as losing a no name special teamer.

Techno,..get in their and straighten which players lost is significant, and who isn't.

yes...same, until I read how other teams are much worse off.

Man days is a terrible data point.

BC & Ottawa lost their starting QB's. That's not the same as losing a special teams player.

Maybe more useful to adjust man-days proportionally by each player's salary. That's assuming salary is a rough guide to a player's worth. You could base it on stats instead, but that would seem to be a much harder task because there's no easy way to normalize stats (even with QB's the QB rating is imperfect).

Or forget real salary, base it off of player's fantasy price at the moment he got injured

How many of these "injuries" are salary cap related ?

Agree. Losing Nick Hallett for most of the season (except for 3 quarters) doesn't mean much compared to Leo's losing Rourke for what 3-4 weeks now.
I'm not saying that Nick Hallet is not important but... you know what I mean.

We lost Noah Hallett not Nick.

Exactly. Losing OL Richmond is hardly the same impact on the team as losing Bryant/Hardrick.
When you consider how many starters (and their replacement) have gone out & on 6 game, we have to be right up there.
