Bombers @ Cats

[Pigskin]

This is a very big game for the Bombers. We have to put together a few wins and get some momentum going for the playoffs. Zach will be the big question going into practice this week. I am hoping we see a few changes for this week.

Houston in Vaval.
Adams or Woods in at DT.
Maybe a fresh young motor like Bailey in for Person who hasn't made a play in 5 games.

Vaval was shook up at the end of the game. He might be out anyway.

Should have been a penalty IMO, Campbell intentionally picked him up and threw him to the ground.

"Team Ted" game

Hamilton, ON – Sept. 5, 2025 – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the club will celebrate General Manager Ted Goveia and his lasting impact on Canadian football when the team faces off against Ted's former team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, on Friday, September 12 at Hamilton Stadium.

The "Team Ted" Game gives the community an opportunity to celebrate Canadian football and honour a leader and champion whose influence has been felt across the CFL and beyond. The "Team Ted" name was first coined by Tiger-Cats players — and quickly embraced across the CFL — after Ted's cancer diagnosis, symbolizing the deep respect and support he has earned throughout the football community.

"Few people have given more to Canadian football than Ted Goveia. From his time as a player, scout, coach, administrator and now General Manager, his influence has touched thousands across our game," said Scott Mitchell, Managing Partner Hamilton Sports Group. "Even through this difficult time, Ted's strength and commitment continue to inspire all of us. This night is about saying thank you to Ted and letting him know that Hamilton, the league and our Canadian football community are behind him."

Through his diagnosis, Ted has remained steadfast in his commitment to shaping the Tiger-Cats, the league and the game he loves. As part of the "Team Ted" celebration, several lasting initiatives will be launched in his honour including establishing Ted Goveia Scholarships. Ted will be personally establishing two annual scholarships, in partnership with McMaster University and Mount Allison University, to support Canadian university football players, helping ensure opportunities for the next generation.

Fans can stand with Ted by wearing the same "Team Ted" T-shirts that players have been sporting throughout the season, with 100 percent of the proceeds supporting initiatives being launched in his honour.

I wouldn't take our person but I am interested in Woods

Person is an import and Bailey is a global. He could be added by taking out a Canadian if we choose. Who that would be IDK.

If we take out Vaval who does the returns?

EDIT: Maybe that explains Woodbey getting reps. Person is a rush guy while Woodbey seems to be a cover guy. Our rush got worse but our coverage got better the last two games. It looks like Woodbey was on that a DE ( including Person ) were off starting from play 1.

Didn't see that but I hope he's not injured.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Cute name for the game but respected as well.

Um, MUST WIN!

No Zach very little chance of a win here.

Here's the clip. Just remember that Regina is not dirty. This is just how they tackle when the game is already over.

I don't see that as a dirty hit. No penalty was called?  Play until the whistle.

It was within the rules. Maybe I got carried away because there were 6 seconds left. I will say that Vaval is fearless.

I figure if they thought Bailey was a better pass rusher than Person, they would have switched by now, if they thought it was a close contest they would have given him at least a game or two trial. It might take an injury to Person to get him on the roster.  Ratio wise Bailey has the advantage, he allows them to play an Import elsewhere if they want ie. Vanterpool.

May add recently signed Oyelola as a global, afterall don't we need another linebacker? (Kidding)

Vaval would still do the returns, and play as the extra DB.

That was 100% a penalty.  Wrestling moves like suplex are explicitly named in the rule book.  You cannot pick a guy up and then body slam him to the turf.  We've seen this flagged before.  It's very dangerous for tiny or skinny returners.

I was livid at the game they weren't flagging it.

I'm guessing he's ok, though sore.  However, you can possibly break an upper-body bone from that.  That would be disaster, though we do have "runs slow and scared" Logan to take over.
