I'll be surprised if Willy plays more than 2 or 3 sets of downs. The first preseason game isn't to get the main offense a bunch of work. It's to get a look at as many players as possible in 'game' situations. Nichols is likely to get the most time IMO.

That's more what I see also. If they want to look at some rookie o-linemen, be prepared for some missed assignments. No way you leave Willy in there to get pounded in that situation. I'd consider most of first quarter maybe, buts that's about it.

I believe O'Shea is on record (possibly on the coaches show) as saying he would give Willy enough reps to get into a rhythm, then pull him... so we may only see a few possessions, or possibly the whole half depending on how things go...

That's how I would normally feel but Willy's been out for 10 months and it's a new system. I think he needs more time to get the timing down.

Willy gets the first quarter possibly, halfway into the second. Nichols goes in after Willy and finishes the third, and Davis and Bennett  split the rest ...

We already know what Willy and Nichols can do , make sure  we get some decent time for Davis and Bennet we don't want to have a disaster like last year with our 3rd guy...

pre-season, backups get some opportunity. The starters will make the threads in regular season as you watch from the couch:)

I would like to thank my mom for giving me life and I would like to thank the regular posters for giving me this opportunity to excel and show off my skills.   I know I will let you down through out the regular season as I post while pooping in the washroom.  

Willy is # one by default unless the unforeseeable happens, so any drama at the pivot position is about who will be number two and who will languish on the PR. I don't think Nichols is a lock, but based on how O'Shea has operated in the past, it wouldn't surprise me.

I like the Bombers.  I think they will do good.  My favourite player is Jamaal Westerman.  The jerseys are nice.  I think the Bombers will win the Grey Cup.

I love this because: Replace Bombers with Riders and Westerman with Durant, and you've got the most stereotypical Rider fan post ever! :)

Cummings looking real good in the middle, Hubbard is a big guy coming off the edge, looks like he could compliment Westerman, good pressure. 

Then again...preseason

the front 7 in general looks real good so far.

Nice dump pass, TD Harris...but called back...sigh

Stupid penalty killed that drive. Just like the last few years. Castillo missed the FG & instead of 7 we don't even get 3. Mistakes.

The call on Smith was really iffy at best, Harris should have been given that TD :angry:
