I’m not too stressed on the vets staying home. They know exactly what they bring to the table. More time for the rookies to show they can play. Pretty much every team leaves some vets home for the road preseason game.

Ya that's the big situation that hurts us with Sheehan. If we're backed up with little time left in the half or game, the other team is pretty much always in FG range after the punt because they are catching it in our end. No change of punting out of trouble.

I see it now, thanks!

Is the game available to rewatch on cfl+? can’t seem to find it

Haven’t been able to listen or watch due to children. Which Mitchell?

I like the rule. Makes life interesting.

Zach suspended for the first game is perfect. Now his complete collapse at the end of the season will be delayed by one week! That means he'll dominate the Grey Cup and then crumble at the parade. He'll cut his thumb shotgunning beers, fumble the cup, fall off the back of the truck.

Second round pick Smith signed now https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/05/02/1st-10-it-seemed-like-it-could-be-a-good-fit-and-im-super-excited-they-picked-me/

Turn over every stone you can looking for the next guy at QB. ZC is on the downslope and won’t be here next year.

23 from everything I see.

Isn’t he Michael Ball’s kid? He hates the bombers

It is pretty funny the panel talking their crappy picks. Piling on Lapo for drafting Jade Etiene haha Barker saying he got fired for trading for Drew Willy

Per Lapo Ricky Santos was his coach haha

Joey Corcoran WR is our pick

They are just talking Rourke. Not even showing a tracker with the picks!

YouTube livestream from TSN is working for free. Just caught up with the 3rd round over

Like the LB picks. Hope we have the teams stacked with potential starters instead of scrubs. Don’t want to see Gauthier on D again. Who knows if the QB works out but he’s got talent at least

Or they really like this running back Matthew Peterson. Maybe they don't like the RBs in the draft this year but think there are a lot of DTs available. Who knows

I honestly completely forgot who Samson was and that he was a 2nd round pick last year.

He had 22 punts of more than 50 yards, with a long of 70. His career average of 43.9 yards is also a school record, better than Alan Sutkowski’s 42.5-yard average from 1995-97."

From https://3downnation.com/2025/04/28/top-10-position-players-in-the-2025-cfl-global-draft/ EDGE Kemari Munier-Bailey, Weber State University (England) HT: 6024 | WT: 230 | HND: 90 | ARM: 323 | WNG: 781 BP: 20 | VJ: 33 | BJ: 9030 | 10YD: 1.62 | 40YD: 4.70 | 3C: 757 | SS: 4.69 A former member of the Great Britain junior national basketball team, Munier-Bailey had stints at Idaho and Fresno State before earning third-team FCS All-American honours in his final season with the Wildcats. He’s a classic CFL tweener on the outside with a good first step and active hands as a speed rusher, though he can be late to bend the edge and gets run past the QB at times. Despite a similar frame and athletic profile to Jibunor, he isn’t quite as strong at the point of attack and can get moved off his spot in the run game, but is fast enough to be able to track down ball carriers in space once they bounce outside. That makes him one of the better special teams projections available in addition to his situational defensive value
