NFL Coming to Winnipeg for Preseason Game
My regular seats are $340 each for this game. I just don't see the value here. It's a preseason game. I'm going to pass on this. I hope it works and they fill the place and make lots of money. Best case scenario is they fill it with Americans who come up, spend a pile of money, and then leave.5 points

4 pointsDisagree on Roh. Only one in his league as a pass rusher is Jeffcoat, but Roh keeps his pads low and gets into his moves before his second step. Jeffcoat is more of a pursuit rusher, great at holding his gap, not as consistently quick into the pocket. Jefferson is a freak but doesn't have a lot of technical skill to get into the pocket, kinda all or nothing, great at reading QB eyes though and making plays on the ball. Either way, Roh isn't going anywhere. Those three are all special players, and all in their prime. Some guy with a speed rush on a bunch of guys who are going to get cut in a preseason game isn't going to take their job. If he hangs around and gets in due to injury and makes plays he has a chance.4 points- 2019 Main Training Camp

4 points48-HOUR PRIMER: (who else but Ed Tait) All of that is a roundabout way of saying this Thursday’s final preseason game in Saskatchewan against the Roughriders is absolutely, positively massive for those either on the bubble for a roster spot, or trying to lock down work as a starter. “When you have a competitive training camp like ours with lots of depth, then there are guys who are battling hard for roster spots,” O’Shea said Tuesday. Cornerbacks (x2): Chandler Fenner has been moved from the Dime/SAM linebacker spot to the field corner and looks to have one of the two jobs. Winston Rose was superb early in camp before pulling up with an injury. With Rose down – as well as Chris Humes, who started one game for the club last year – and reps available, Amari Coleman has been getting a lot of work there with the starting defence. In addition to the above, still in camp and possible corner candidates (not including halfbacks Brandon Alexander and Marcus Sayles) are import defensive backs Mike Jones, Joe Este, Tyneil Cooper, Marcus Rios, Elijah Battle and Malik Boynton. Receiver (1): Four members of what would be a five-receiver set are locked in with Darvin Adams and Chris Matthews (although he is currently injured) along with Canadians Nic Demski and Drew Wolitarsky. Still standing along with Kenny Lawler and Rasheed Bailey are Tim Wilson, Matt Hazel, Kenny Walker, Lucky Whitehead and Charles Nelson. Offensive line (2; centre/guard): Lock in Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick and Patrick Neufeld (who has yet to practice, but is expected to be ready for Week 1) along the O-line. Still remaining: The development of Gray, Desjarlais and Speller has fuelled the notion the Bombers could go all-Canadian on the interior, with Tui Eli also there for depth. But don’t yet rule out the notion of there being three Americans up front, either for Week 1 or down the road. There are still four other import linemen in camp in Jamar McGloster, Israel Helms, Tanner Farmer and Delroy Baker, Jr. No. 3 quarterback: Bryan Bennett looked very comfortable in his action in last week’s preseason game against Edmonton. But newcomer Sean McGuire had his moments, too, completing six of 10 passes for 69 yards. If it’s about the now, then Bennett offers so much aside from his QB skills, including serving as the holder on placekicks and covering kicks on special teams. Yet, if it’s about the long-term, consider that McGuire is just 23 and just getting his feet wet in the three-down game. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/06/04/48-hour-primer-wpg-ssk-4/4 points- 2019 Main Training Camp

3 pointsSince it was about battles for open positions, Tait probably just has Simonise slotted as a back-up to Demski and/or Wolitarsky. Same reason he didn't mention Streveler when discussing the QB's.3 points- 2019 Main Training Camp

3 pointsHealthy Jeffcoat is much better at rushing the QB, and Willie Jefferson is a better pass rusher yet. Roh is a steady solid end who is good across the board and can get hot. But isnt great, and is redundant.3 points- GDT Tiger-Cats @ RedBlacks
2 pointsHis one and only start came in 2015 (his first year with Winnipeg) in the final, meaningless, game of the season and he went 16/25 for 169 yards, 0 TD 0 INT, plus 9 rushes for 34 yards. They lost. He was not terrible. Certainly not great. Then we kept him around for 2 more years and when he finally had a chance to start again, LeFeveour inexplicably got the start ahead of him. I have no idea whether Davis will turn into a good starting QB or not but it just seemed like really bizarre management of a player to develop him for so long and then bail on him at the very last moment when he actually had a shot.2 points- NFL Coming to Winnipeg for Preseason Game

2 pointsFor sure. After hitchhiking to Minneapolis and sleeping on a bench at the bus station, they will be impressed at how we can intelligently save money. I can't help but notice with a few exceptions, the same people who are claiming they won't go because of the price are the same people who said they wouldn't go long before they price was announced. Go. Don't go. Few care. But being one of those people who claim they didn't want go to the Heritage Classic because "the ice conditions of an outdoor game can't be consistently maintained which makes the outcome suspect but the points still count in the standings which could effect a playoff position just to have a cash grab and everyone is tired of these already they aren't special anymore blah blah"...spending hundreds of dollars to rent a chair for 3 hours to watch millionaires make billionaires richer will never not be a stupid way to spend money. Pay your hydro bill. Save up for a vacation. Give it to a breakfast program at a youth drop-in center. It's your choice. The price for this event, however, is completely in line with events of this nature.2 points- NFL Coming to Winnipeg for Preseason Game

2 pointsDavis isn’t mobile, but he is black so it’s often been stated that way. His biggest weakness has proven to be making a play when he has to move off his first read, he’s definitely a pocket passer, live arm. Ottawa liked him because they can envision him running a pretty standard quick read ball control offense, with a workhorse tailback . It will be interesting to see how that plays out with Elizondo gone and if any RB steps up into Powell’s place.2 points- NFL Coming to Winnipeg for Preseason Game

2 pointsFair to add Martin Luther King to the list? There has always been plenty allegations about his infidelity and sexual misconduct but now there seems to be indications of his involvement in more serious misdeeds. I don't think it's fair to give historical figures like Kennedy or MLK free passes when the methods they perpetrated were very similar to those of individuals being prosecuted today. The laws today are basically the same as they were back then. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/martin-luther-king-and-metoo-biographers-shocking-article-alleges-civil-rights-leader-was-enthusiastic-witness-to-rape2 points- GDT Pre-season Game 2 - Bombers @ Riders

1 pointHow long could it take to clean up Alberta’s oilpatch? 2,800 years, Alberta Energy Regulator official warns CALGARY—It may take more than 2,800 years to clean up some of the decommissioned oil and gas wells currently dotting Alberta’s landscape, internal regulatory documents say. That means the burden of returning the land to a natural state — called reclamation — could fall on the next 93 generations. The estimates were outlined by an Alberta Energy Regulator official in a September 2018 presentation to oil and gas professionals as he made the case for stronger regulations. While industry and government officials have long touted Alberta’s oversight as world-class and ahead of other jurisdictions, Rob Wadsworth, vice-president of closure and liability for the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) warned in the presentation that the province’s oilpatch was facing a financial and ecological catastrophe due to weak regulations. It’s unlikely that well-owning companies will be around to clean up the mess in a few hundred years, said Blake Shaffer, a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University who has studied well liabilities in Alberta. https://www.thestar.com/calgary/2019/06/03/how-long-could-it-take-to-clean-up-albertas-oilpatch-2800-years-alberta-energy-regulator-official-warns.html1 point- 2019 Main Training Camp

1 pointBased on his stats from last year with the Redblacks when he played in 8 games. More opportunity there than he ever had here. His completion percentage and QB efficiency rating from 2018 was higher than Streveler, Collaros, Pipkin, Jeff Matthews and even BLM. Plus, Davis can take off and run very effectively. That's what I like about him, he's a mobile QB who can only get better with more game time reps. I think he's exciting to watch. Just my opinion but now that he's the starter for them, lets wait and see1 point- Random News Items

1 point@TSNDaveNaylor Further on CFL CBA ... the crux of the matter that almost caused a strike on eve of training camp: CFL and CFLPA agreed the ratio of starters would go from 7 to 10 but three of those could be veteran Americans (3 years with team or 4 in CFL) who would count as Canadians. League insisted those 3 veteran Americans would count as Canadians towards the starting ratio and the roster. CFLPA insisted they were to only count towards the starting ratio not the roster. If applied to roster, would have likely eliminated bottom 3 Canadians on each team. Players got their way so that the three Americans (3 years with same team or 4 in CFL) will apply only to ratio of 10 starters and not roster of 21 Canadians. That apparently is now clearly stated in memorandum of agreement between CFL and CFLPA1 point - NFL Coming to Winnipeg for Preseason Game
