Winnipeg at Hamilton Pre GDT

[pjrocksmb]

Murphy is nicked and out according to the daily IR report. I didn't think he was on the field last week. In reality I was expecting Kelly to be added to the AR as a defensive player that could work on ST's. At least he's a player that is used to tackling opponents.

Jeffcoat seems to have been having hip issues since last year. Whether he can play this week IDK. However this was part of the issue with overworking him or Jefferson due to lack of rotation.

I seen him on the field once I believe with bad eyes from the upper deck lol

They should play dru Brown as much as they can
Put him in the second half we have  made the playoffs.

We would be nice to clinch 1st place first before doing that, you think?

If Gauthier came back, we could sit an import LB and have Gauthier back-up LB and fill or possibly even improve play on special teams and that would give us the ability to take off Bennet and put on Habba. for the 29th

If Gauthier is not back, we can still sit 3 LBs and have more on our gameday roster than any other team.

No way we should lose this game. Zach has so much belief in his boys he is always willing to try to make a play and sometimes get burned for it. I, too, love his aggressive attitude and I believe it's one of the attributes that makes him so deadly. Pick-sixes are almost always at least equally shared by the receiver and rarely ever 100% on the QB, especially one like Zach, who has a live arm and can throw a receiver open. I'd never bet against Zach.

This is a veteran group and they'll be ready.

Injury Report
https://twitter.com/Wpg_BlueBombers/status/1702449355469279239

Jesse Briggs - Foot - Questionable
Jackson Jeffcoat - Hip - Questionable
Jeremy Murphy - Hip - Out

really hope we see Haba in, overplaying Jeffcoat is a recipe for injury

[M.O.A.B.]

Just a guess...

With WR Murphy out, they need another WR for depth, so either WR/KR Blackmon or WR/KR McCrae will draw in. I'm leaning on Blackmon.
And since both are /KR, then DB/KR Parker will be the odd man out.
I expect DB Kelly to draw in as the 20th Canadian and DB depth.

I expect DE Jeffcoat to play.

If LB Briggs is a no-go, I expect FB Burtenshaw to draw in .

Thanks Captain Obvious. 

Hey, I also know this: in our next game someone is gonna win, and someone is gonna lose.

(And if someone doesn't get the reference, shame on you for not watching every CFL game!!)

[TecnoGenius]

Would it be possible to put up a couple of those clips for the members to see.

Nope. I want Tecno to pls rewatch all interviews and then post the timestamps for each reference he is making.

Ya I kinda guessed that.  Keep in mind I have a full time job, and 2 young children... I spend too much time on CFL already...

I'll think about it...

[TecnoGenius]

We would be nice to clinch 1st place first before doing that, you think?

Ya, the worst thing would be being 3rd place.  Even 2nd isn't good enough this season.  The team clearly will do better if the fans are behind them.  We can bring the noise and stress if our team has an off game.  I think out of all these GC years, this is the year they need #1 the most.

I really don't want to face SSK in a WSF.  I want 1 & GC with BC.

No way we don't go pedal to the metal until 1st is clinched.

[TecnoGenius]

I'll think about it...

Here ya go, here's the first one I could find:

[theaardvark]

Well, that's one way to get Haba on the Roster...  Jeffcoat out, Haba in...

Haba in for Jeffcoat.

[Blue In BC]

To bad, JM87 made a couple very nice catches yesterday. Like to see him with our #1 O at some point this year.

I was just thinking a defensive player like Kelly might be more of an advantage on ST's than a receiver. I did like what we saw from Murphy in pre season and he may be part of the future.

Depth chart shows Haba in for Jeffcoat. Not exactly what I was hoping for losing Jeffcoat. Perhaps he needed a game off to recover a bit and we're playing a weaker team. Good to get another look from Haba. I'll think he'll do well.  This was part of the concern in not having Haba on the roster earlier and the starters getting too many reps.

So Murphy is off but I don't see who was added in his place? GTD

[3rdand1.5]

Well I'm happy to see Haba in, not happy Jeffcoat is apparently too injured to play, yet again......sighhhh
