Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at BC October 15, 2022

[M.O.A.B.]

Actually not a lot to be seen this week either.. No way is Hall or Pierce gonna tip our hand for future games. Both sides of the ball I expect to see vanilla.

very much agree.

[TecnoGenius]

BC's roster slightly weaker from last week.  Plus still missing 2 of 3 superstar receivers.  And still starting VAJ.

But VAJ experience > Brown.  Brown has only 1 real start!  If BC's DC is half competent he'll rip apart Brown.  If our experimental OL is half decent, our most-starters on O should put up some points if Brown can execute.  Our DL/LB corps are looking ok, but the rejigs at DB might let a few explosions... or not, as I'm actually liking the Parker move and let's see how Lawrence looks in a Hall scheme.

Too many variables on our side to accurately predict, but poor continuity usually hurts a team (see EDM).  Add in the fact that BC really must win this game to achieve their goals, and I think it takes a miracle for WPG to win.

If we do win, then every other team needs to be really scared, as we're starting a whack of #2's.

P.S. I don't like us starting so many #1's on O, and dressing basically no WR depth.  I guess they can play soft so they don't get hurt.

P.P.S. Zach still flying there / dressing.  Weird.  Does he get a series (beginning?  or garbage time?)

P.P.P.S. If Brown stinks it up do we yank him at the half for Prukop, or just don't care?

P.P.P.P.S. If we escape with no injuries, I consider that a win, regardless of score.

[M.O.A.B.]

Zach will act as another set of eyes for Buck.

We don't have another QB, so Collaros dresses as the # 3 QB this game. I don't think he sees any reps today. Brown has less experience than Adams but it's all been in Winnipeg and he's had Collaros and Pierce to coach him.

We're not really starting a bunch of # 2 players. Only Lofton and Dobson are # 2's. Lawrence might stick on AR even when Nichol's returns but he's not a rookie.

It's more about the movement of starters on the OL and Parker moving spots.

I think this will be a low scoring game and we ll see the bad VA self destruct once again. 21-17 Bombers

[TBURGESS]

Both teams playing their backup QB's. BC's missing two top receivers and we're missing one. BC needs this win, especially after Calgary lost last night.

I think it'll be a low scoring affair that could go either way.

I don't see Connor or Pipkin in the starters position on the depth chart, BC is going with their #1

VAG is starting. He is the number 3 theoretical.

[TBURGESS]

Rourke is their #1.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

Rourke is their #1.

According to Darren Bauming, Rourke is throwing the ball at practice on the sidelines.    He isn't throwing on the run or putting much pressure on his injured foot.   He may be ready for the post season and if he is Calgary is in for a real test.   Calgary losing at home to the Ti-Cats really put an exclamation point on this game as far as BC's chances of playing at home for the SF.

I wonder how much Bighill or Jefferson will play tonight? Now that Clements is back at WIL we might see Gauthier seeing more duty at MLB. Cooper is on the depth chart at DE but has he had any reps there at all?

Limited roster size doesn't give us many options at some positions.

[Stats Junkie]

Roof will be open 

18c at game time

Not sure about Cooper remember the name but not seeing him get reps

I would like limited reps for Jefferson and Biggie

Gauthier agree maybe more reps and could we see him and Briggs on field together? Usually are rotated

sounds nice.

Emergency QB? Extra coach? Make him feel he is part of team, that he still runs the show?

I agree, just want to be healthy, a win or loss will be instantly forgotten.
