Throw Long Bannatyne

Quote from: Pigskin on September 21, 2026, 07:52:17 PMAbout what expected. 5 vets, sitting is nothing new. Griffin practicing, expect him back next week. Nice to hear Dixon is back, but winning his job back from Fletcher is going to be tough.

I'd think Reese would be the one Dixon might eventually replace.   Jaworski didn't get much action in his first game so it's hard to determine who's going up and who's riding the bubble.  Nice to have multiple options along the D-line for a change.

Sample size on Dixon is very small. Not sure if he'd replace Reese or Jaworski this week.

Good news that Griffin is back practising.

If Collaros goes back on IR, I suggest leaving him there for the rest of the season.  Too much risk to his health to continue playing. 

Nothing about O.Wilson at practice?

I would think if Wilson and ZC8 are going to be out long term, we might look at Lewis who has played with Brownie in Ottawa and is a good Vet receiver.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Dixon is an end isnt he,? Beating out Reese or Jaworski much more likely

I d be signing Lewis and getting him up to speed as we wind into our crucial games, we're already down Wilson, if we lose Demski or White, our offense becomes very easy to defend, bring in Geno to beef up our recieving corps,

Where are all the Singer supporters to pump his tires???

I think the Argos might have this game.

They are coming in hot and Brown is a step down from Collaros.

Singer is coming into his own and will be good,geno is legit and will command a defense to adjust its coverages to account for him or he ll burn them he's proved that in his career, he'd be a cheap insurance pickup for our playoff run down the stretch

From Ed Tait:

Day 2 of @Wpg_BlueBombers practice. Brady Oliveira, Nic Demski and Cam Lawson back; Zach Collaros is not

Collaros not practising may be an issue or not. Letting Brown get more reps with the 1st team offence is useful. It's also a further evaluation on his future with the team.

It could also mean that Collaros is headed back to the IR for an indeterminate amount of time. I've stated my thoughts on that outcome already.

O'Shea always says he expects everyone to play which is just media PR BS and evasion.

Giving Brown first team practice reps  when they're in the thick of a playoff race is not the time for an evaluation of his future, guaranteed he starts against the Argos.

I don't agree. Collaros doesn't need to practice per se. He's familiar with the playbook and has chemistry with the receivers. Brown has not had that luxury and we've seen that he may be needed to play part or some of the games left.

Whether O'Shea is just smoke and mirrors and has already determined that Brown will start against the Argos, IDK. It could well be that Collaros is headed to the IR as I've stated earlier.

Brown is on an existing final year contract so my point is that he requires further evaluation comes during practice and any game time is also valid.
