Official Game Day Thread - Saskatchewan at Winnipeg , September 6, 2025

[GOLDMEMBER]

Welp Goldie gets to run out on the field with the team today for introductions.
Maybe this will bring some good fortune to BIG BLUE today?
Need a win!

[Ridermania]

Don't trip pal!

[BBRT]

Just looking at our starting line up! Not all that comfortable with what we will field today. Our DL is not very good and the OL is maybe average at best. I think the Riders are far better on both sides of the ball when comparing OL and DL talent.

Riders DBacks may not be all that great, but I think their DL and LB's will put a ton of pressure on Zach and not sure if we will be able to run the ball all that well.

I have to say and this is just my opinion only, this 2025 addition of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers is the weakest I have seen in several years. Our draft and how we are managing the roster is very suspect in my opinion.

Crowd needs to and will be the difference maker this afternoon.

I always get out my biggest voice whenever we play the Riders.

really only difference from last week is smeckle out Kornelson in and he wont see many reps.
And Kramdi in, who does make a difference with his communication and ability to read plays

Also no Schoen and Wilson in so that's a big change. It may take Wilson a little longer to get up to speed with the new playbook.

Wallace warming up looks fine. He'll start. He's so big he doesn't even look human

Vant looks great, too

Pokey looking good in practice catch drills

Sergio easily making 52s with the wind

Wind blowing towards the south, but only in the south ez. The north flags are dead this entire time

I'm not sure I'd prioritize wind today. Down in the bowl it's probably minimal

[Stats Junkie]

Blue Bombers have released an updated depth chart.

Micah Vanterpool will now start at LG in place of Wallace (GTD). Wallace now listed as a backup.

[TecnoGenius]

Strev still has the knee brace. It's hidden under his pants

That explains the lack of speed and acceleration

Wonder if he'll ever be able to take it off?

[TecnoGenius]

Goldie spotted walking into the tunnel. Full gold getup

[TecnoGenius]

I guess looking good in stretches and drills isn't enough! Makes sense he's good enough to backup

But... Does that mean he can't play jumbo? I wonder if we didn't want to start Vant anyhow. I would!

[The Zipp]

o line just overwhelmed - zach took a pounding 

[markf]

Passing makes sense if they can give zach time

sask is no. 1 stopping the run

[The Zipp]

no answers for the heat sask brings

if they don't zach can/will complete passes

[markf]

Need to replace Kolankowski next season... seems to not have enough quickness
