Posted May 24May 24 comment_751631 https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/05/24/game-day-hq-preseason-1/ players and positions to watch; qb, ofc. Is strevy rusty? Is zach healthy? How does hogans play call and management look? ol, two open spots and an open battle at G for imp or ni. Randolph at rt and Wallace at G are the guys to watch. wr battle, the 3 free agents are all guys to watch. At dl, has adams progressed? Bailey and person are big ones to watch. I expect a lot from the starters with vaughters. lber is the deepest battle in camp. The Canadians, will Ayers step up and which jones wins out? Secondary, will griffin take a starting job, Parker at S, Gowan vs bridges on the corner and rookie vaval has had a good camp. punter and the wide open kr job will be great to see too.
May 24May 24 comment_751632 Thing I’m most interested in as the real season starts is how they use (or not use) ZC and CS as a qb tandem to keep the defense on their heels. Please please no decoy shite. Oh and how DS performs coming back from his injury will be something we are all hoping for a good result. We all know the theme this year in the CFL will be ‘anything but the Bombers’ so let’s continue to frustrate this motto. Lessss go Blue.
May 24May 24 comment_751633 A mother f***in game day... By gar, it's been awhile... **** The Riders, and let's go Blue!!
May 24May 24 comment_751639 Curious as to who and how we ise the linebackers....I dont think either of T.Jones or Wilson should be secure with being handed starter spots....and wanna see whatrecievers step ip when lights are on...Practice isnt best indicator as to who is the best...we seen that pretty obviously last yr Punter too....I wanna see Evans make a case to punt our punter guy Whats the link for the game btw?
May 24May 24 comment_751640 Unlike a number of previous years......a lot of slots are open. Receiver battle and backup QB will be of interest. Also the dudes expected to go at DE and Cornerback. 4 minutes ago, Booch said: Curious as to who and how we ise the linebackers....I dont think either of T.Jones or Wilson should be secure with being handed starter spots....and wanna see whatrecievers step ip when lights are on...Practice isnt best indicator as to who is the best...we seen that pretty obviously last yr Punter too....I wanna see Evans make a case to punt our punter guy Whats the link for the game btw?

I think that’s a good probability. Woods is far a head at dt, adams should fight with person. Nice thing about adams is he can play most techniques. I’d be happy with either and hope both stick.
May 24May 24 comment_751646 Hopefully we have an OC that will use 17 as a QB and not a gimmick. Also excited to see how Wilson develops in year 2.

Yeah..Adams versatility is huge..plus for a big guy he is quick as a cat and can't see why both don't stick..we rostered both at times last yr..and with Shay and Smith...good chance we dont DA and import LB so that is helpful 6 minutes ago, Arnold_Palmer said: Hopefully we have an OC that will use 17 as a QB and not a gimmick. Also excited to see how Wilson develops in year 2. That is the plan and he wasn't gonna sign here if all he was gonna be allowed to do is the same crap Buck put him thru And when he got zero reps in practice as a QB...and wirh the number 1's...well that didnt help his cause when he did get put in...and he still gutted out and willed a win for us
May 24May 24 comment_751648 Webb may be sleeper as well to pop onto the roster...I forgot we picked him up

We might not need one at db either. We should 100% be using one at dl. I’d consider two if Lawson isn’t good to go and we use more 40 sets. I’ll be interested to see if Shay and or smith can fill more of the nickle wil stuff. Especially Shay.

Yeah I can't see us burning a DA on a linebacker ...especially if Makonzo becomes healthy too...but who are they gonna be...I know osh likes to favor vets and guys who been here but J.Jones and Ayers if they make the case for Mac and Will..does Osh have the onions to park Wilson and T.Jones on the PR..Injured or even cut? J.Jones is a way more complete player than T.Jones so interesting to see who gets that spot...I hope it's an earned position and not a gifted one
May 24May 24 comment_751651 A curious thing.... At last check, Jarious Jackson still hadn't made it to camp. So it's all on Hogan, with no safety net. Hoping things go well for him.
May 24May 24 comment_751652 So 1 DI for Sergio 1 for a returner Will it be 1 for an LB and 1 for the DL? 1 DL and 1 DB?

Now is the time to go young and Canadian in the back 2/3 of the D for depth. Walters n co have done a tremendous job reloading our Canadian depth. 3 minutes ago, Noeller said: A curious thing....

Doesn’t look good imo at this point. Just now, rebusrankin said: So 1 DI for Sergio 1 for a returner Will it be 1 for an LB and 1 for the DL? 1 DL and 1 DB? That’s pretty much the situation we are in. We might not use a di on a kr though, in that case I think we would still use one on a wr any way. I think we use a di on a lber if we don’t cut 2 of Ayers, kyrie, and the joenses. If we do cut 2, I think we di a db.

Yup...get those young guys in now..and get them as contributors early and often..key for our roster and depth and ability to have some nice positional options with our DA's I actually excited to in seeing what Peterson does with the rock. I think a lot of people underestimate what he can actually do..I bet he impressis today...

He’s got decent pass catching, work with him on blocking and see if he can be a back up return guy.

These are Wilson's passing numbers from preseason #1 last year against the Riders, his first CFL game. 10/15 115yds 1TD 0 INT 7.7 avg 34 long These are Strev's passing numbers for the same game. 7/8 65yds 0 TD 0 INT 8.1 avg 20 long Interesting to note, Zach played the entire preseason #2 last year, no other QB got a look. If today is his day, I hope they limit his reps to one half. Edited May 24May 24 by Fatty Liver

Really...they should give Strev 1.5 quarters to start...if not the half...Wilson the 3rd...ZC the last...best to see what the back ups do against more starters...and with the starters...we know what ZC can do...and for second game much same..maybe 1 quarter for Strev and Wilson and 2nd half for ZC to keep rust away 1 minute ago, wbbfan said: I am very optimistic about Wilson.
