*Seven of this year's nine draft picks are either on the roster or PR.

*I like what they did for PR players. My only preference would have been keeping McCalister somehow.

 

On Mathews, I’d say yes, for the one game anyways. 

 

 

Nelson will be also

I hope tho that the release of Bryant and Mcalister doeant indicate we are starting a national at DT..though with Jake only national on active roster it would seen Richardson won out the spot with Jake as rotation which I fine with.

Richardson was a true beast and lined up with Nevis who is unsung hero we will get some major push for our ends to clean up and have Biggie come clean on blitz.. I wouldn't be surprised to see double digit or close to it sack totals for him

I do like how we allocated our or PR too..and glad it looks to be Baikey as the 5th I bet and Lucky rotating in as a DI

Bailey wasnt targeted much in preseason but staff knows what they have there..just watch that once the real bullits start flying with the starting offence he's gonna shine

Kongbo, Neufeld, Nelson, Matthews will be on IR. 

I'm super glad Kenny Walker stuck around, that guy caught everything going his way. Might be a sleeper guy who will shine when he gets his chance.

I know it would have been a long shot but I was hoping Santiago would have made the roster or PR.  But we just don’t need a import RB. 

Richardson not only beat out Bryant, I think he eliminated the chance of us starting a national on the D line. Also means we are definitely Canadian on the interior of our o line

According to fans maybe. I think Nevis is underrated and the coach seems to love him. Spoke well of him in one interview during TC. He made the team before this second preseason game

Oh I agree.  I think he fills the DT role quite well. 

Biggest concern for me is Hecht projected to start at S over jones. Dont like that we kept choudja on the PR. Im glad we kept and seem like we will start richardson. id rather have bryant then nevis but continuity and experience count for some thing. Nevis will do what he does and mash the middle of the line like few other. Him and richardson are really gonna open gaps for the rushers. 

Simonise showed flashes, but also dropped a lot of balls. He blinked and Petermann didnt. Petermann has done every thing you could ask, and made plays every time the ball has gone his way. 

I suspect nelson will go to the IR. Foketi moved to the retired list isnt a huge surprise. 

Like McCallister too. But the only way to add him is on PR and maybe he has different idea.

Honestly I feel like Santiago was going on the PR until he fumbled at the end of game 2. That is unforgivable.

I wonder when was the last time a CFL team went into a season without a single American runningback on the roster, practice roster, or injured reserve?

For all the question marks and angst surrounding these roster decisions l’m glad they found some way to keep Jake Thomas and Craig Roh..

Oh....  You know who.   In the 2017 and 18 drafts alone we still have 6 players with team

That's a pretty low bar.

Every RB will fumble the ball once or twice. I guess it’s irrelevant when you’re committed to a cdn backfield.

No kidding. It’s amazing how forgivable fumbles are in certain scenarios. 

Nevis and Richardson will plug the middle and push the pocket making the qb scrambled in the loving arms of our defensive ends.

So who are our global player(s) on the PR? 3 very Mexican sounding names but I'd imagine only 1 is?

The German linebacker Hanses made the regular roster and I think there are two Mexican based athletes on our practice roster.

You heard it here first ,that German fellow will be a regular starter in the not too distant future.

Would have liked to keep McAllister as others have stated.

Surprised we don't have another Canadian WR on the PR for depth/emergencies

Somewhat surprised about Bryant but Richardson played well

Curious that Nick Temple is on the AR right now

What did Temple show that Warren didn’t?

He’s been with the Bombers longer I would think..

I’m no expert but he jumped off the page in camp and in the last preseason game. Was Temple’s name said once in either game?

Really? Never noticed either one of them.
