Demski's absence exposes a thin Canadian skill-position core

Nic Demski's 50 catches for 660 yards and 3 TDs represent 28% of the Bombers' receiving production, and his ankle injury forces more targets to Ontaria Wilson and Tim White — who combined for just 4 catches over 30 yards this season. The secondary is equally exposed: Ridge Texada, playing his second career game, was beaten twice for big gains on double-moves, showing the roster lacks proven depth behind the starters.
