Winnipeg @ Ottawa.

[Pigskin]

This is a must win game. Have to stop turning over the ball. The D will have to contain Crum. I am sure hoping ZC8 is back.

[Blueforlife]

Get Zach back, protect him and get Brady going and should be ok.

Will wait to see what the daily IR looks like. Some possibilities / questions depending on health of those that have been out.

1. Collaros practising, able to play, should he play.

2. Griffin was nicked but it didn't look serious. If he can't play, then J. Jones might need to dress.

3. Players on our 1 game IR are all possibilities of being able to play:
   a. Logan for Vaval who seems to have plateau'd. Do we shake up the return game.
   b. Parker for Lawson
   c. Sterns for D. Mitchell.
   d. Vanterpool to beef up the OL.

Mostly I'm hoping that Parker and Sterns can return to the AR. Neither have been practising yet, so it's more hope than probable.

I don't really expect any additions from the PR unless new injuries force that ( J. Jones ) maybe because of Griffin might be nicked.

gotta do something on the protection - max protect every play.

no Zach = no wins

our entire offense needs to be stop Zach from getting hit, let him throw and run the ball.  play with one less receiver if we have to.

Max protection every play is a terrible idea imo
Need to mix it up
We can win without Zach have already have twice this year but yes a challenge
Playing with one less receiver terrible idea imo

IMHO we can not win without Zach starting. Stev will not win a game for us. And even as bad as Ottawa is they probably are still better than us across the OL and DL.

Vegas line is right down the middle

[Austin85]

Trade for Dustin Crum!

[bwiser]

There are three very winnable games remaining on the schedule. This is the first one. Ottawa in my opinion, are the worst team in the CFL. This is a game the Bombers should win and they cannot afford to stumble.The key to beating Ottawa is don't beat yourself. NO More TURNOVERS!

[GOLDMEMBER]

Hopefully they Crumble.

I would take that action, if Strev played the remaining games we would win a couple imo (requires strong run game)

I think Wilson could also win a game if a few things went our way that match

We don't need to max protect on Running plays.

We don't need to max protect on Running plays.

Which is funny, because those are the plays we often put in the jumbo & super jumbo sets!  Luckily max-pro doubles as max-run-block.

a. Logan for Vaval who seems to have plateau'd. Do we shake up the return game.

Is it he's plateaued, or that teams give him respect?  You'll notice ST coverage play "high respect" players (i.e. Grant) differently.  They'll keep the waves deeper/spaced, and have more "last resort" guys.  They'll give up more yards avg in order to stop the home run.

Kind of the same as when there's a KO with 5s left on the clock in the 4th.  You'll happily give up 20 yards more than usual just to stop the scoring.

In that sense he should have value even though he doesn't get the home runs.  As for Logan, after what he showed before, I don't think anyone respects him at all.

It could be a bit of both. Logan was signed to be our returner in the off season. The problem was that he was not deemed ready well into the season. Whether that was a physical, mental or both issue I don't know.

OTOH, he was also an option on offence in theory.

So the question now is whether he's more ready or fallen off the cliff all together? I'd at least consider a change Logan for Vaval this week. I'm ok with whichever way they choose. 

I did mention that import CFL rookies are not used to an 18 game schedule and many struggle at this time of the year. It may be a factor for him.
