Calgary @ Winnipeg

[Waffler]

No Demski, no Dru Brown. Both not injury related. I hope there are no issues with the birth, I got Demski's back, he's been good to Winnipeg.

As far as practice, both Prukop and Colloras got plenty of reps. Never saw Prukop get this many. Other than timing being a bit off on some throws for both QB's, pretty much what you would expect to happen is what happened. I'd describe it as uneventful but a pleasant way to spend a lunch hour.  Schoen, Bailey, Grant, Oliveira all looking good.

How long is the lady in labor??  From last Saturday all the way through this Friday?     The impression I got (pre MTL game) was the baby was already on its way??  Demski stayed out because of a woulda coulda shoulda maybe kinda delivery date?  Someone needs to inform him those things are notoriously unreliable (been there, done that)!    Maybe we should Mark Demski down as possibly out for the next 3 weeks!

(If he does leave mid-game and they deliver mid-game they should announce the new baby on the jumbotron.)

She wasn't in labour, but he didn't want to leave town in case it happened. They must be at or nearly at the due date.

I think, since it's a home game, he'll play as long as she's not actively in labour.

So for last game was Demski placed on the 1 game IR so they could still pay him, instead of suspending him for not playing?

Pretty sure Demski was on the AR, just not dressed... no mention of movement on the CFL transactions page.  As mentioned elsewhere, we just dressed on less player.

I don't imagine anybody is concerned about paying him for not playing. He's earned that respect.

Agudosi riding the pine again...all in on Greg!!

When Lawler comes back, would Cole or McCrae come off the roster?

Cole is very important to our special teams coverage, but McCrae makes our offence a lot more versitile in my opinion.
I suppose Demski can do 90% of what McCrae can do but I think McCrae is just a little more effective running the ball.

It would be nice to leave McCrae on the AR but when Lawler can play, I think he comes off. There is only 1 football and our offence is excellent even without Lawler. Need Cole or equivalent for ST's.

Not having Kramdi or Gauthier active is not great if we have any injuries. I'm not quite sure who would move up to SAM if Darby gets nicked or needs a breather. Similar question at MLB since Gauthier would have been the primary back up. I wonder if Cole takes that role or do we see Briggs and Mauro there?

Would BA37 move to SAM and KE39 move to FS?

Big hill; Clements might move  to mlb with cole to outside

Per DT, Briggs practiced a lot on MACK this week. So if Biggie needs a breather Briggs will be in. Briggs and Maruo did see some game action at the position last year, so it's not new to them.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

That's what we're talking about, him playing in the secondary...


(see what I did there?  )

If you have to tell people what you did it's not clever, Aards. Everybody laugh I made a joke!
