“I’m not bothered at all,” Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros said. “Obviously, they’ve earned the right to make these decisions, first and foremost. And, secondly, from watching tape all week long, the guys they’re leaving home on the defensive side are unbelievable football players, but they have a lot of really great football players still playing.”
Starting Toronto defensive lineman Shawn Oakman and linebacker Wynton McManis are getting some rest, while defensive back Jamal Peters and receiver Cam Phillips are dealing with groin injuries. Dinwiddie announced after Wednesday’s practice that rookie backup quarterback Cameron Dukes will get his first CFL start, while third-stringer Bryan Scott will see game action in the second half and starter Chad Kelly might also get a turn.
“You can see them practise all you want, but until you see live in a game you don’t know what you’ve got,” Dinwiddie said of the decision with his backups.He said he told Dukes, who goes in for short-yardage situations, to “just relax” and that he doesn’t have to make every play, just not bad ones. Dukes went to Lindsey Wilson College in his home state of Kentucky. He replaced an injured Kelly in an August loss to the Calgary Stampeders and completed eight of 15 pass attempts for 63 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. He’s also rushed 15 times for 31 yards and four TDs.“The circumstances that it comes in is obviously great for the team,” Dukes told reporters after he learned he’d be starting. “I’ve got great guys around me.
