Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/09/2010 (5530 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
1. Oh look! DB Jonathan Hefney was cut from the Detroit Lions practice roster. Great timing for the Bombers – now that they have the secondary all figured out and the defence is playing great. Regardless, the team is pursuing the talented player. Can he play receiver?
2. Speaking of the pass catchers, the much-maligned Adarius Bowman had a great practice today. He caught everything thrown his way, including a highlight reel grab over the middle in front of a defender.
3. Head coach Paul LaPolice was very non-committal on the subject of Bowman and his starting position, however. With Chris Davis still basking in the glow of being a father (he hasn’t been at practice all week), Bowman has taken reps in his spot. Our early guess: Bowman gets the call inside, while rookie import Greg Carr gets his first pro start out on the edge.
4. WR Terence Jeffers-Harris is working to get back into the lineup. After running hard on that high ankle sprain Tuesday, he was in pads and running routes on the side today. He won’t play against Montreal Friday, but next week at B.C. is starting to look pretty good.
5. No surprise K Louie Sakoda was punted this morning. He might have a stronger leg than Justin Palardy, but his birth certificate simply has the wrong country on it.
6. League statement, straight from the CFL media relations’ mouth: “The Canadian Football League announced today that Hamilton Tiger-Cat Jason Jimenez has been fined the highest amount allowed under the League’s collective bargaining agreement with the players following a late hit on British Columbia Lion Brent Johnson during the September 18th game between their teams. In addition, CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon has summoned Jimenez to a face-to-face meeting with him next week to discuss his on-field conduct.” So no suspension and just a small fine for a player with a reputation for questionable tactics (an illegal block by Jimenez ended the promising career of Calgary DL Anthony Gargiulo in 2007)? Sounds good. The fine amount, by the way: Half a game cheque.
