BC at Winnipeg

Quote from: Jesse on July 30, 2024, 06:14:24 PMI know everyone is down on our team right now, but BC is not this huge juggernaut of a team that is incapable of losing. They lost last week to Calgary. They only won by 2 points against us and against Edmonton. This is no different than any other week. And even though we've been on the losing side of most games, we've yet to suffer a beat down. We just can't get all three phases moving at the same time.

Nice perspective, I like it. You are right, we've been in most games, we definitely haven't been playing our best football (especially all three phases in any game), there's no reason we can't win.

It may be a tall order, but I agree - BC is not some beast that will wreak havoc with any team in its path.

Quote from: The Zipp on July 30, 2024, 04:47:26 PMYah that is what I was getting at, not sure if they had to do the move a day before but it makes sense they can do the move when the roster is set.

Even if Lucky isnt listed on the game day roster the team has up to 1 hour before game time to make a change. (changes are more likely when its a home game as all players are available)

Normally if a late change is made the player being inserted into the lineup is replacing someone who is listed as a game time decision on the game day roster.

I'll take that action and I'm sure a few others, 2:1 odds for you

Injury report below

Blue In BC · July 30, 2024, 09:11:33 PM

Today's IR report shows: Woli, Neufeld, Carbonneau and Cadwallader as DNP.

We don't exactly have enough Canadians if we lose these 4 to 1 or 6 game IR. Didn't see any of them get injured so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Any idea how much Cadwallader played?

Quote from: Nic16 on July 29, 2024, 08:23:45 PMGet Bailey signed and in the lineup along with Whitehead...and start using Streveler more.

A smash mouth ball control offensive game plan with a few deep throws to keep the D honest.

Get the ball into the playmaker hands quickly and block like your life depends on it!

I wanted to know why Lucky Whitehead was not playing,and if Bailey would be in lineup. However Strevler imho is a Circus act and was embarrassing watching him on field same time as Zach. What are they going to do have Strevler throw a td pass to Zach? Who is drawing up the plays?

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Take a page from BC and Ottawa's playbook -- quick hitters with lots of misdirection and screens to keep the D guessing mixed in with a few deep strikes.

He's one of our best teams players.

Pigskin · July 30, 2024, 10:43:52 PM

Well, I don't think it's Woli82 shoulder. But, Neuf was limping in the 4th. quarter so I could see a knee injury.

gobombersgo · July 30, 2024, 10:48:11 PM

Looks like Lucky is going to play, he's been moved to the active roster.

I believe Neufeld has a history of ankle issues. It may be that flaring up. With Woli, I thought at the time maybe ribs but after looking at the replay I thought, hip pointer. If it's a hip pointer that is seldom more than a week or two and lots of RICE.

Blue In BC · July 30, 2024, 11:15:20 PM

Bridges and McGhee moved to PR. Whitehead added to AR. I wonder if this means Woli is out or just that we needed another receiver. Depth at worst, rotation at best? If Woli is out then he's probably starting.

Clearly nothing concrete about Bailey.

No news about Lawler practising at all. So not for another game which is after the bye ( 18 days ). Normally that might be practical but this week is do or die. Lawler might not be as close as we hoped and another 18 days might make a difference for him.

At that point we just leave him on 6 game IR for the 2nd round of 6 games and save some SMS.

You're not serious? I mean, yeah, it's possible and could happen, but our D has been playing pretty well and 30 points is +4TDs.
