    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.

Not sure it means much but Zach listed is interesting. Thought he wasn’t going. Also Wilson listed 4th is interesting. 
 

D Mitch behind Lord Keric and Sir Hall of Western Michigan. Prob means nothing but interesting 

 

just pre season bs really but just some interesting things. Our Canadian LB group got a lot younger  Shay  Smith and  Novak prob all make the team. All Canadian  and all drafted this year. Impressive Kyle. 
 

OL looks like 3 Americans be the plan

I say this every week, the order listed on the depth chart means nothing. Interesting notes added below, I assume anyone that does not have to compete in PS#2 are injured or does not have to worry about retaining their job.

 

NOTABLE: The Blue Bombers are leaving 13 regulars in Winnipeg for the final preseason game in DEs Willie Jefferson and James Vaughters, DT Jake Thomas, LBs Tony Jones, Kyrie Wilson and Shayne Gauthier, defensive backs Deatrick Nichols, Evan Holm, Terrell Bonds and Michael Griffin II, running back Brady Oliveira and right tackle Eric Lofton.

All four quarterbacks will dress, with Chris Streveler listed as the starter and Zach Collaros, Chase Artopoeus and Terry Wilson listed behind him in that order.

Wilson Tony and Jake being guaranteed spots is a joke and makes us worse. I don’t think all are guaranteed. Wilson gonna get injured immediately again I’m sure cuz his body at this point is just NOPE, Jake is just, it’s not even funny anymore honestly. You don’t keep lesser talent around if you are trying to win. If T Jones is guaranteed wtf the point of signing jon jones then. Gonna cut one of JJ or Ayers then bring them back when Wilson gets injured game 1? And I don’t want that to happen but it’s more likely it does. Like bighill and BA, Wilson and Jake are both washed up. And Tony Jones is not a top cfl middle line backer. He’s just not.

I’m not sure there. I thought person and Webb was it looked like younger versions of him really. So me? I’d prob keep the young guys who look impressive over a potentially washed paid well vet. I’m not sure tho. Vaughters could be what Willie J needs. I thought he looked good also and he hustled on the obvious non fumble regardless. So I could see him being a decent addition. Perhaps reputation alone helps free up Willie more. I’ll put Vaughters in the d Mitch maybe he’s cut group but if I had to say the surprise cut… d Mitchell for sure. Easily. Cuz Vaughters caught Oshs attention on the hustle and d Mitch has on the well, slow learning perhaps.

Need to plan ahead for potential injuries, nothing is as cut and dried as you make it. 

Anyone know which players might be missing the game due to injury?

Ffs. You take it to seriously bro. You’re like Mike. Think you got all the answers. 
 

None of my posts are cut and dried or anything. It’s a simple like I said pre season BS. I mean hey it’s week 2 of pre season vs the same team from last week on the wonderfully crappy cfl plus app again. This time tho, we bringing the B and C teams tho. Fun. Last week was a good game. I hope this one is also. I’m not cutting guys or making roster decisions. I’m just talking football on a football site. I played hockey soccer golf baseball tennis badminton volleyball and hackey sack. I was too small for football. By the time I grew it was 2 late. I’m just a random fan in a hat and jersey some times. Maybe toque. But that’s like 99 percent of us on here. I’m sure some bomber peeps might lurk from time to time.

Cooley will get a lot of film anyways.

Wouldn't mind if they gave Chris-Ike some reps at tailback as he might be backing up there.

I don't understand not grooming him more to be a RB, seems like we are lowering his ceiling.

I really don't understand out moves at Lber. If Kyrie and Tjones were gonna be handed the starting jobs, why bring in Jjones? Give jones a signing bonus and bring him in to maybe DI and cut ayers?

I don't think vaughters has out right won the position by play, but I also don't think any one has clearly out played him for it. The closest thing imo would be adams to DE with woods/pointer at dt to bump vaughters. But hes a better player than Kyrie at this point pretty easily.

Seems kind of strange to burry the second game with back ups, when the first game of the season is in week 2. I am glad a bunch of guys are gonna get some good reps, but if the majority of decisions are made, whats the point?

I’m going to take it as a positive and say there’s going to be a lot of tough decisions to make, and they want to get the young players an extended look.

Camps have a second game for a reason and it is ridiculous for people to assume that anything is set in stone other than our star level players. Some vets are at home because we know what they bring to the table already, and some to shield them from injury, but players play themselves onto and off of the team all the time in game action (including this one) in preseason on every team every year.

I'm excited to see Shay, Novak and Smith all on the field at once.

Given our previous camps it isn’t ridiculous at all. We’ve cut guys the day after a ps game who didn’t play, who played extremely well, we’ve failed to play guys enough to get the rust off etc

Imagine posting these two things literally back to back lol “when people talk football here they take it WAY too serious but when  i do it it’s just vibes bro” exactly one post after talking exactly the same way I talk when you complain

This is how I feel. I would love to believe Kyrie staying home means he hasn’t made the team but what has our front office ever done that would suggest that?

comment_752383

Our QBs are set. Streveler is taking the lions share of the reps because he will be starting first game. Collaros takes reps because he isn't playing for weeks after. Wouldn't be surprised if Arto and Wilson get very limited reps or none at all.

Like others have said, for some guys we know exactly what they bring and are being left home. Especially the guys on D. They don't need to get into a rhythm.

Everyone else is getting more of a chance to put things on film
