Winnipeg @ Calgary Pre-game.

Of course, it has to be Cooley, non injured not dress IR.  Simple.  The reason Vanterpool went off.

It is interesting that CGY signed Bighill even though he isn't healthy enough to play.  I guess he's a great was to add a coach without using front office $SMS, but I can't imagine he's getting the minimum PR paycheck.

I'm not sure if Cooley doesn't get bumped back to PR. He's a rookie and if he's not injured that's usually what happens. Vanterpool was here last year so that's a bit different.

stamps must be having a hard time selling the "stampede bowl" tickets...

just announced a "flash sale" 30% off tickets. 

no idea how much it costs to attend stampede events - can't imagine it's cheap.

Thing about making circus catches the receiver usually ends up on the ground and gains zero YAC, I'll take a Demski reception over a Lawler reception anyday.

Ya, but sometimes the coverage is so good that no one can ever get open and you NEED a Dressler diving lay-out well beyond the DB.  For instance, back when we had Dressler, this was the case every time we played CGY. 

It's nice to have players that can do both.  Wheatie looks like he can do it, and I hope Sterns starts flashing Dress-esque signs sometime soon too.

Gavin Cobb in for Nic Demski in this padded session.

Interesting... If no Demski, would you start Cobb?  That would have him leapfrogging Corcoran, who has dressed for every game.  One would think you'd run the progression and Corcoran gets the start.

Not like you can really tell anything from practice, injury-influenced "first team" choices.

I would like to see Cobb, I like his game.

[Jesse]

That's a good looking injury list.

We could use the extra depth. All of Wheatfall, Demski and Clercius have been nicked somewhat.

Nick Demski

2024. 18 games 6 touchdowns

2025.   3 games.  4 touchdowns.

Somethings happening here, what it is aint exactly clear

I just realized, he's been in the league for ten years.

[RebusRankin]

Cobb is pretty meh. Would rather see Mitchell on for receiver depth (realize this may not be possible with the ratio).

Good point, nice to have plan B

What's the consensus on Cobb everyone? I liked his game previous seasons.

Everybody look what's going down(town)

I'm excited for him too but also think Cobb could make an impact even if it's small.

Brady is listed as questionable but that's the norm for a player coming off not playing for two games. He was shown to be practising as a " full " participant.

Thomas also listed as questionable due to illness. We might see Schmekel this week. I can't see a player suffering from a cold or flu being up to heat and demands of a football DL.

What do you remember about Schmekel's game? Is he is a power guy or more speed and technique?

Injuries

It sucks that Logan is still not practising. IIRC he missed most of TC as well. I don't know how we'd get him on the roster, but it would be good if he was at least healthy going forward.

Still trying to understand why they didn't 6 game IR him to start the season.

Leroux is doing fine snapping in place of Benson but I need to watch him on ST coverage to see how he does.

[Waffler]

Let's just hope no one gets what Thomas has.

Cobb can contribute. From what I saw he's brought everything you would expect and a bit more. No disappointments. He can fill in at a lot of different positions, if he ever get on the game roster that is.
