Back to Bombners goings on....as per Darin Bauming, Bombers add a couple, release a couple: 

 

Some actual Bomber news?  Well done.

If there was an area where there would be roster moves, I didn’t even consider it being in the area of import O-Linemen. I guess you always  have to keep on the offensive..

curious that they're both OTs.....back-ups to Hardrick/Foketi and Bryant....

Holy ****!

Blue Bombers bring in two new import offensive linemen because veteran Manase Foketi never showed up for camp.

Maybe he's been away for a while and didn't see the news that camp was starting???

Thompkins didnt bother me. But Foketi does, he apparently liked it here, so what's the deal?

Well the one guy started all 11 games as a “big offensive tackle” so I guess that’s good?

Hope there’s nothing serious developing in these injuries..

 

Perhaps he expected to start this year with the departures of Goosen and Chung but then realized the writing on the wall with Gray, Couture, and Desjarlais?

To be fair they really did have two 57's listed on the roster sheet they handed out at camp, one of them being Foketi.

Demski’s pumped..

“Last year I was a vet coming into a new team,” began Demski the other day in a chat with bluebombers.com. “I knew I had to come in here, work hard and prove myself and get comfortable with the playbook. This year is night and day with that. Obviously I’m still going to come out here and work hard, but I’m as comfortable as ever with this playbook. I’m comfortable with what LaPo (offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice) sees with this offence and what he wants to get done out here.

“I made that adjustment last year. This year it’s about hitting it in full stride and taking off and running.”

“It’s funny, a lot of people say the reason I came back was because it’s my hometown. That’s true, but it’s also just icing on the cake,” said Demski. “For me, I can’t wait to get that ultimate goal and bring it back to this city. I want to do right by this city. We’ve got a lot of Winnipeg guys here and it’s something we talked about all offseason. It’s time to do it now.”

And, in what way is that different from a any post in a thread? 

I mean, do you not follow the team for f'ng months then expect everyone else to do TL;DR thread for you?? 

I already explained the difference and if you can't figure that out I think your mom should revoke your internet privileges. Also nice passive aggression there assuming I don't follow the team during the off season, some of us have jobs and can't sit on this site all day sifting through **** or replying the second something happens with the team.

To be fair they have access to the coaches and team. 

Also I could be sitting next to Foketi and have no idea, the media should though.

Foketi was a potential starter at an area experts say is a question mark. Nobody asked how he was doing?

Oh yes I agree.

I can maybe understand the media missing an unknown Import skinny obscure rookie. But it seems everybody knows Foketi. 7 days in...no questions about him. 

Thats just too odd.

With a hundred bodies milling about, it's somewhat understandable the media did not pick up on it.  Question is when the Bombers announced Thompkins as a no-show why didn't they also announce that Foketi was M.i.A.

bizarre

I don't blame the media.....all those giant linemen look alike. It is curious why the team kept this hidden...
