One of those guys has to be moved up to C by Labour Day... Kolankowski is clearly not Couture level

Eli's a C by trade, Dobson is not (in fact I think Dobson was a T in college, Eli played C in college). Dobson struggled with snapping the ball in pre-season, IMO. So if anyone moves into the C position, I think it'll be Eli.

Agree - just wondering why they slot Dobson in as our backup C on the Depth Charts though
 
Parker back in the lineup on D, but still no Rose and Wilson, who continue to practice. They should be back soon.

@bustamente will share the depth chart later, I’m sure

Bailey bumping McCrae out of a starting spot... hope that's just on paper...

DL depth is scary - Hall needs pressure or teams pick his guys apart... yeah its just Edmonton but last week it was 'yeah its just Ottawa'

How are we not using Alexander or Bighill as a Nationalized American.... hopefully they are flying in some prospects or getting Cole some reps

Wilson has to be back after bye week...

This depth chart looks like a message sent Darby, IMO. I haven't talking about him much, but we haven't really seen that much out of him this year. Needs to step up.

Glad to see Maruo get a starting chance. We'll see how it goes. He's primarily been the sub as a pass coverage LB, well see if they continue that with Briggs subbing in for run downs.

Glad to see Jamal Parker back. He's a beast on ST, and gives Bombers some good depth at DB.

Sucks to see Haba out long term. Had a real good start to the year. Bombers are needing to look into another DE asap, IMO. Bennett hasn't done enough. Hopefully Thiadric will be healthy soon.

How on earth do they come to the conclusion to sub Briggs in for run downs... he is Pierre Luc Labbe - good football sense, great guy and no closing speed

I agree haha, but yeah that's how they finished last game. It was Gauthier going in for run downs in the past, but he's been out. We'll have to wait and see how this one plays out. I hope they give Maruo a true start, but I anticipate it being more of a time share.
 
Depth seems razor thin this year... if Bighill goes down, we really have no one waiting in the wings

Maruo is a nice story but again, he would be good spelling off Wilson or someone... what scares me a bit here is that all these guys could look good and gain Osh's confidence (even more) against Edmonton... then we get roasted by BC

I don't see much defensive help on the PR ... except Miles Fox no one else is going to step in- maybe you swipe Antigha from the Elks PR

If you believe the football "experts" on a couple of the dedicated Bomber forums that I follow, roster management in general and tomorrow's posted roster in particular borders on incompetence by the coaching staff. Is that a fireable offence, deserving of a call from Walters and/or Miller, or just O'Shea being O'Shea?

I've also read that, for some unknown reason, the coaches are not utilizing the new rule on "nationalized Americans". (See above about fireable offense....)

I have to admit that I'm just a fan and don't know much about football x's and o's but some of the players who are starting on D, Kramdi for example, are just not first string material. (I've watched him in the trailing positions several times during the last game he played.)

Of, course the O-line miseries with the lack of protection for Collaros is giving me (and other) fits, too.

I'll be at the game cheering on the Bombers but I have to admit, that I am concerned about this lineup.
