Bomber PR

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

In recent seasons we've locked up 1st place early. That allowed the team to activate more PR players to get a look in a regular season game. That might have also included some of the expanded PR players added in October.

That won't be the case in 2025. Our PR players are only going to get into the last game if injuries force the issue.

The expanded PR also becomes more of a problem getting practice reps. Again, we're in a dog fight to land a playoff spot. There won't be much time to use at giving those players more reps.

Obviously we'll add those extra 5 players and it will be interesting to see who they are but I won't expect to see them in a game in 2025.

IMO adding them sooner for the 30 day window looks makes sense now.

I don't recall the Bombers giving mid-season PR additions any game reps in past seasons, often they bring them in work them out and decide whether to invite them back to TC the next season.  Players that have been on the PR all season are usually given some amount of game time later in the season if possible, but unless they bomb that may not be an option this season.

This is not mid season. The game this week is game 14. The expanded PR is a 30 day window and our last regular season game is Oct 25. Today is Sept 15th so there are only 39 days left in our regular season.

I've pointed out it's very unlikely we have our standings spot locked down early as we have in past seasons. I doubt we add 5 or 6 PR players to play the last game as we've done in recent seasons when we had 1st locked up.

Taking a look at some TC 2026 players is normal but I don't want to see them taking up too many reps while we're fighting to secure a play off spot during the last 2 games.

What a shame if they took away reps from Jake Thomas or Michael Ayers or Dillon Mitchell.

We could potentially lose the game by more!

When healthy our receivers are good to great
Our LBs are all great(starters) and our depth is as good as I have seen in a decade here
Our Dline is average and your negativity on this unit isn't correct imo
4 DBs is an out to lunch exaggeration imo, when Houston is ready and Parker is healthy we have an good to great unit imo
Right now our DBs are average
OL is a concern due to injuries and not having consistency
QBs are fine with an elite prospect on the way, suggesting what you are isn't correct, sure sounds like the tone you took when you wanted Hall gone and the we went to 5 straight cups, if Zach is hurt bad yes I'm very worried
Management is the above average with an amazing track record
Forest through the trees, laid two more eggs but maybe we can fry em the next game

Sorry but IMHO I have to disagree across the board. We are weak across the board on the OL and DL, Our secondary when and if ever healthy is average at best. Our LB's are average at best. And we only have two legit receivers and doubt that will change. And who knows where things will sort out QB wise. Add to this we have a bad OC and have failed to fill the talent gaps that departed at the start of the year. Our recruitment is sub par at best.
