    Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

  • Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

    Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

So that is Myron Mitchell starting at SB and Dillon Mitchell is behind Wheatfall at boundary WR. I think we can expect Schoen to probably take that SB spot where Reggie White Jr is listed.

Barring pre-season injury, Im expecting our starting receivers will be: Wheatfall, White Jr, Demski, Schoen and Clercius.

Dillon Mitchell will be (not so) surprised cut.

I'd be shocked if White Jr were to beat out Mitchell, especially with Mitchell's ability to return. Lot of people pooping on Dillon Mitchell right now because he is a little slow catching onto the playbook, but he is a very good receiver just a slow learner of our system. I feel he will get there in time for the season.

He hasn’t started the step up yet from what I’ve seen and heard. Which is very disappointing to me. He could still do it. The first pre season game is pretty much the latest time he can start really showing out. 
Mos seems pretty high on white too.

ly during the regular season the depth chart wasn't very accurate in terms of starters and  backups especially on defence. For preaseason its even less so. They are listing Collaros as the starter, but if he gets more than 3 reps Id be surprised. This way its still up in the air who they are leaning to in game 1 to start reg season.

Reggie White has the best size and he's pushing 225 lbs which might make him the best blocker of the bunch if he's so inclined, most of the other receivers are sub 200 lbs..

57-18 record as a Bomber, 2 grey cup wins, 5 grey cup appearances. The greatest era in my entire lifetime. I’m going to reserve judgment until I see the numbers but if Zach wants to keep playing, and he’s willing to give up some money by us extending him now I would say this is perfectly fine, curious to see how our new OC uses him, with a healthy Schoen and a deeper (maybe not as top end talented) receiving core I’m hoping we can get a little bit of a bounce back year from Zach.

Thinking more about it... I wonder if the final year of his last deal is being torn up and he's taking a cut in exchange for term. Be curious to see the numbers...

Probably has something to do with the CBA now having guaranteed or partially guaranteed contracts. 

This is actually some protection for him if the Bombers do move on from him

Pretty sure Clercius is a guy to do a lot of that heavy lifting...dudes a beast and likes to get his nose dirty too. He also di a lot of that role already last year....and sometimes size doesn't necessarily translate to physicality in a receiver

He has 200k already guaranteed this yr....so doubt it's that issue

And seeing as we never really spent large anywhere doubt much if any was restructured or moved to next yr.....That being said he better at least have taken a 100k shave on the yr tho, as from the last couple season he is not near the 600k per yr guy he was signed for at start of that last deal...and as of yet has not proved anything that he is in the midst of some late career renaissance

Premature. Should have waited but understand Zach wanting to get it done. 

Who gives a 37 year old qb coming off his worse season in years a future contract extension, before the start of the current season? 
 Woof this is ugly and going to get worse. Even if zach is mop quality this year, it screams of “he plays till he gets carted off for good.” 
This would need to be the most team friendly deal ever to make any sense.

100% he’s the best blocker of the new WRs. TBH, Dmitch is the least engaged in blocking. Sterns is significantly better, but he’s one of those little blood n guts guys like dressler was. If sterns gets in games, every one is gonna fall in love with that kid.

I agree.  Would be nice if it was closer to $400k with incentives .  He could still hit the big numbers, but he’s got to put up big numbers.

Yep should be very low guaranteed higher incentives.

Hey @DTonOB - 2 hour pre game tomorrow? Stuck in AB, but looking forward to you, Eddie and Big Bird BS-ing about football for a couple hours. Thanks for all the hard work prepping it!

Yessir, 2 hours. I can't wait to set Doug up to rant about Collaros's suspension. He's going to light it on fire again!
