Jeremy O'Day taking the Taman approach of loading up on aging name players and crossing his fingers.

The average age of that team must be about 35

My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there. She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey. So pretty much I got his jersey

I hate that ******* ginger with a fiery passion for all he did to us over the years..............but............I respect the hell out of him as a CFL QB.

Not sure about Figueroa ... don't see how they can afford to keep Foucault... I think a very good OL could shake loose after TC

That D front seven is not going to scare anyone... better hope Reilly scores 30+ every game

I just don't see the sense of cutting Elimimian and keeping guys like Willis, Carter

Yeah that roster is far from impressive. But if anyone can make it work, it's Mike Reilly. Lots of holes though.

Their defense is going to give up a lot of points. Other than Burnham there isn't a real deep threat. Durant never was a full time starter with the Stamps & is really a possession receiver. He doesn't beat anyone deep. Maybe he'll have a break out season starting for the first time & with Reilly throwing the deep ball. Who knows what Carter can do as he is a total eff up.

OL still looks suspect

That's not " a lot". Centre is a competition with the 2 incumbents from last year. Don't agree with DT. We need a proven DT.

Training camp will plug what few holes are there. Extremely please with the new coaching staff and who Hervey has brought in.

I see BC brought in QB Austin Apodaca, a Bomber TC cut from 2017 who looked fairly promising.

Also looks like they lost Ty Long to the L.A. Chargers, so they'll be heading into camp with no experienced kickers unless they pick up the Riders recent table scraps.

They should have signed Lankford as a kicker!

Essentially the entire defence, IMO. Definitely got some talent on offence but I don't see anything at DE or LB worth getting excited about. Your secondary is a who's who of "who?"
