The area is most frequented by those missing practice due to injury, who mostly gab with each other and let out the occasional hoot when someone makes a big play. It was packed on Monday. MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Jake Thomas says chemistry is developing between the verterans and newcomers on the Blue Bombers defensive line.



Among the group were defensive end Celestin Haba and defensive tackle Miles Fox, both of whom were added to the six-game injured list following last week’s 23-19 defeat to the Ottawa Redblacks. They joined six others on the six-game shelf, two of whom — end Tyjuan Garbutt and tackle Cam Lawson — are also from the defensive line. Indeed, depth along the front four of the defence is wearing thin while the urgency to get a win is growing.

It’s only Week 3 and the limping Bombers are deep into their reserve of players, while some fans around town are ready to hit the panic button after the club’s 0-2 star.
