Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Calgary - June 29, 2024

Weineke, Evans, and Whitehead could be worth a look.

Probably pass on the rest, though.

Unbelievable! Still a Facebook fixation by the Bombers.

The point is a CFL veteran receiver would be a valuable addition right now for temporary assistance, they have plenty of inexperienced rookies that will grow with the opportunity but will contribute much less ability towards winning games.  Lesser names than Walker in terms of current ability and motivation, Brescacin, Ellingson, Wieneke, Shaq Evans, Cam Phillips, Whitehead, take your pick.

Again, none of those would be on a couch if they still had the ability to play better than a rookie.  We still have Lawler and Schoen "vet presence" on the sidelines, and they probably can contribute more than any of the names you mentioned.

We're all shocked. Can't believe they are such early adopters of this new method of information dissemination. I still think they should mail it out to you!

I hate to say it, but just an absolute failure of scouting to not have capable receivers on hand.

We're also in the position where our only DE is a 2024 draft pick. I'm at a lose at how we got here.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

i honestly don't know where the FO's head is at. Second week without Haba and still no DEs brought in for the PR. If Fayad or Jefferson goes down, we have an 8th round rookie. Embarrassing

There has to some imaginary savings accruing in the cookie jar saved from Lawler and Schoen going on the 6 game, don't think they'll weather this storm unless they spend money on a vet or two.

whatever happened to TD Jake Weineke?? He was on fire 2 years ago, went to the riders who had primarily backup Qb's throwing to him all last year and he's out of football this year?? Give him a call

So only 1 global player on the roster this week. IIRC Karamoko was nicked but it's a partial surprise that we didn't activate either of the 2 on the PR. Isn't that the point of keeping them around?

Ed Tait  @EdTaitWFC
The @Wpg_BlueBombers depth chart for tomorrow in Calgary features three changes: on are receivers Jeremy Murphy and Josh Johnson and DB Deatrick Nichols; off are Dalton Schoen, Keric Wheatfall and DB Souleymane Karamoko. Schoen and Wheatfall to the 6-game injured list

Derek Taylor  @DTonOB
Bombers roster for Calgary Saturday

HB Deatrick Nichols returns after a week out. Jeremy Murphy & Josh Johnson on and starting at receiver.
Plus, Brady Oliveira back to RB1.

INSTA-ANALYSIS:  A minimum of changes for the Stampeders.  Malcolm Thompson slides in at safety as Bentlee Sanders nurses a shoulder injury.  Josiah Coatney is off the practice roster and moves to the DL.  Special team star Kelon Thomas also sits.

It's not a surprise at all.

Need to get Murphy on the roster and it looks like Griffin has taken over Karamoko's spot on defence.

The 2 Globals on the PR are linebackers. If they were dlinemen or receivers then you might see them in the lineup.

[BBRT]

Who are these people?? seriously looks like a lineup for a preseason game.

I did say a partial surprise and did that mention earlier. Iff we were starting 3 Canadian receivers then Murphy would be added as depth. I wasn't sure whether he would start or Clercius since he was already on the AR. Murphy has been round longer so there is that in his favour.

The 2nd global was always an option at the expense of another Canadian. I thought it would be 50 / 50 that Alston would dress even if he was only the back up. However that would have required another import off the roster. An import can't replace an import ratio wise.

Griffith was on the roster last week. Bridges came off now that Nichols is back.

Our run game better be successful tomorrow or it's going to be really ugly if we live or die by the pass alone.

Yes, Griffith was on the roster last week and was on the field when the team went with 3 dlinemen. Karamoko had zero snaps on defence.

Bridges is still on the roster but now as a back up.
