Bombers @ Riders.

would Brian Cole be able to replace Alexander on some plays?

[Pete]

I'd be happy if Hallet got in more.
On another note maybe free agents in season are reluctant to sign here because they aren't guaranteed to be on the regular roster, O'Shea seems to like them to hang out on the pr for weeks before getting a chance (ie Jones)

[The Zipp]

Personally I think Holm might be a better option at safety than BA.

So far he hasn't even established himself as a LB or a DB, no evidence Cole knows the playbook well enough to tell other players what to look for or where to go.

incorrect LDC is always the game to go to. You don't know what your missing.

Can't wait to catch up and have a few brews!!

Noah Hallett, Jake Kelly and T. Garbutt are all available to come off 6 game IR. K. Samson is also able to come off 1 game IR. All practised at Full this week.

We're hoping to see Garbutt moved to the AR this week. However, I don't think we'll see the others activated. I'm not sure if they the extended where they are or get moved to 1 game IR or even PR.

Then there is the question about Whitehead being activated.

Looking forward to an energized team as they've begun to hit their stride. Some bodies getting healthy is good whether they play this week or not.

Agree on this. Hands down the fastest guy we have on D. BA has lost a step, put him inside and shut down some recievers

[Marni]

I'm excited, I'm going to the game this Friday

Personally I think Holm might be a better option at safety than BA.

Interesting thought.  He is more Dequoy-like, but we'd have to put him on roving-coverage duty instead of the run-stop-heavy scheme BA37 does.  Holm shouldn't be coming upfield laying wood, he'll get destroyed.

That said, can our run D give up even more explosions?!  Maybe we still need our FS to be a Loffler-style big run stopper.

When Parker returns we will have some interesting questions and DB movement.  Might have a lot of options.

Disagree Holm is needed where he is.

[Blue In BC]

I think Lucky O. and Chris-Ike will be coming off the AR tomorrow. Injury issues and no practice. That will result in a shuffle of players but there are a few choices and I'd only be making more guesses.

Maybe we need the guy in the middle of the DL to be more of a run-stopper.
