Finally, we have the first pre-season game! LFG Both games are on CFL+, no regular TSN this year. Position battles to watch; DB, (22)Burrell, and (37)Texada lead this race through camp so far. (41) Williams isn't far behind. It will also be a big pre-season for (26)Woodbey and (0) Allen, who showed strong flashes last year but are fighting an uphill battle for AR spots. Bonus, the Canadians are having a tough battle as well (7)Stuart, (29)Ball, (16)Kelly are all fighting for a chance to play. Kelly needs to sustain some high-level play, as Ball has been a strong overachiever, and Stuart has tremendous attributes. (36)Javier is a sleeper pick as well. He spent time on the Riders' PR, played pre-season in the NFL, and had a knack for big plays in college to go with great size. (13)Addison, a former WR convert who immediately produced at DB, has incredible size and is another big-play college guy to watch. DL, (90)Dixon, and (54)Jenkins are front-runners at DE, (35)Bailey, and (43)Gatkuoth have high hopes to provide us meaningful reps from the depth chart. 95(Hooper) is a depth-sleeper as well. While (91)Pace is the new DT to watch. Of course, the OL will be a great watch, with mostly names we are all familiar with. Wallace's step forward in camp has been huge; this could be his coming-out party. And Eli now gets the chance to be C 1, while everyone gets the chance to finally be free of Kola. (62)Viebert, and(64)Ellsbury are lesser known guys to watch. I like a lot of what Viebert brings, and with a step forward this year could make a tough decision. Ellsbury is our no. 1 option at C if Eli doesn't work out. Lber, we see a ton of returning guys and more CFL bodies than we could possibly carry. (39)Smith and (34)Shay are the ones we all hope have a big game and manage to move up the depth chart. Rb/TE will be interesting to watch. (73) Daniels could be put in for blocking immediately, which could come at the expense of the 3rd rb. (25)MCI has flashed a significant step forward as a ball carrier in camp, on top of that huge play late last year. While (22)Peterson showed us a whole lot in relief of Brady last year. (35)Rocker, the token import RB of the year and winner of best name in TC, would only be fitting if he became the TC MVP. WR, it's an ugly group today. No reason to mince words. (86) Clericius moving to the slot should be a good watch. They seem high on (82)Cobb this year in camp, after stapling his butt to the bench most of last year. (83)Nield will need to translate what he flashed last year in a big way for us. (17) Singer has had some plays in camp. Corcoran, Desrosiers, Hurford, Jack, and (89)feel good story Tachinski are all going to play significant reps. Hopefully its not like a rerun of Baywatch when they are out on routes. (44)Keegan, the punter's rival this year, has been quiet after coming to camp late. (36)Lidster, Sergios intern has as well. (79)Harrison is a former JET KR of the year winner and will see some KR work. (87)Davis, a very tall, slim-built converted QB from the arena leagues, will likely see some KR work today. (17)Singer, a WR to watch, has also gotten reps on teams this camp, though he doesn't have as much experience doing it as the rest. (35)Rocker may possibly do it this pre-season as well, as he was kind of a do-it-all back in college.

She called Paul Friesen "vile and souless" lol. He is...........

Lots of references by her to how Taylor "looks the part", which....I think I know where that is going. Nowhere good, anyways. Honestly, given how this team has a history of being bafflingly loyal to players that were already here, I take this as a good sign that we may actually have something in Elgersma.

Well a broke clock is right twice a day LOL Every couple of years we gotta have one of these family members. But atleast 3/4 of the time over the past 20 years its been Lapos... Wilson missed the biggest part of TC, the games. He took away his chance. We've seen guys be just about written off then have a great PS and change their fortunes. TE did it with the packers, and Browns big steps forward came in game as much as any thing.

Guy can barely hit 50 per cent of his passes and produces more turnovers than a bakery. I'm sure the eight other CFL clubs will love the leadership skills he so clearly has....

omg, I had just read her reply to one of my comments, but she is going ham on everyone. Fans, media, the organization. She called Paul Friesen "vile and souless" lol.

That's the thing, after this long Wilson has had some opportunity and he's never seized it. Got no-one to blame but himself. Bailing without even giving it a go in preseason is just 10 ply soft.

I was in favor of dumping Wilson early in the offseason. I don't think he showed a shred of progress at any point in time. From what I saw, Elgersma was head and shoulders better, and Wilson doesn't do anything better than Elgersma. I kind of expected Bryce and TE to pass Wilson. I also didn't think Wilson would want to sit on the PR. Its really hard to take a downgrade at his career point. That said, a downgrade is better then an end point.

Because Elgersma is miles better than Wilson. Facts. What's the Twitter handle? Asking for a friend....

Kyle Busch's cause of death revealed: Busch passed away "after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications." Why do I keep thinking what happened was similar to what happened to Jim Henson except *one google later* well that killed part of my theory

"It ain't show friends. It's show business."

She gave it to me pretty good. Calling the organization disrespectful and that there was no competition and it’s all BS. He can’t. He’s our property

Now that Rourke’s broken the glass veiling, we’ve seen Ford and Ermergerdsma. Things are moving.

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes....The proper thing for Wilson to do right now is quit the whining and approach the Als ...they might be able to use him...The CFL is a business and sometimes tough business decisions hurt ...

That's a pretty spare list of good quarterbacks, and finding a backup who has the potential to grow into a starter is equally difficult. The mortality rate among QBs who come to the CFL and do not stick has to be upwards of 90%. Always has been and likely always will be. Maybe the answer is for the CFL to work with universities to help groom Canadian quarterbacks who have potential rather than ignore them or bury them on the PR until they age out.

Alexander appears to be an injury waiting to happen....The guy obviously has a big problem and IF Montreal had any sense they'd be shoring up their qb. stable ...It's too bad they hadn't addressed this sooner, as there seems to be a lot of disgruntled fans in Mont., who are seriously questioning some of the teams moves...

To talk away the day before a game because you didn't like the depth chart is just all kinds of weak sauce .

Rourke is the best QB and it's not close... But if you watched the CFL at all last year, you know that Alexander is right behind him. All he does is win... (And get hurt, unfortunately...) VAJ is summertime only BLM is a rollercoaster Harris is dink n dunk and has had one healthy season Collaros TBD Dru keeps getting hurt but CAN be lethal... Kelly can get ******... Faj is Faj... Weak armed and relies on Jesus sprinkles.

On FB, what appears to be Wilson's wife is commenting that TE was handed the 2QB role without competition.

There’s a person on twitter who appears to be Terry Wilson’s mom responding to every tweet about his situation. She makes it pretty clear he knew he wasn’t getting the backup job.

well it prob moreso the guys who left knowing the were in a bad spot...as opposed to anything nefarious going on, or issues with coaching....this yr...I could of seen guys quiting on numbnutz OC last yr Thorne was just being realistic...he wasnt really faring well and knew he had no chance here...with ZC the starter....a 3 yr vet ahead of him....knowing with all the hype...and the performance of Elgersma that he wasnt going anywhere, and Perkins who is experienced, and finding his way and was well ahead of Thorne in performance Wilson not so sure....maybe he was told they were gonna give Elgersma and Perkins most the reps after ZC as they kinda know what Wilson has/os and that rubbed him wrong way and he just said eff it....possible, or he as well saw the same thing Thorne saw and realized he wasn't out performing Perkins, and that Perkins is likely to get better as he gets more use to the Canadian game...so wanted to walk away, thinking/hoping he's be released and able to latch on elsewhere before camps winded up?...Possible...but we suspended instead, so maybe there is more to it and some personal stuff going on...as we could have just released him if he asked for it, and cant see why we wouldn't...I sure the real story will emerge after this 1st pre-season game and its spoken to next week...Its not like the guy is useless and has zero to offer...If Dom Davis could have the amount of yrs up here running short yardage, Then Wilson surely can as he is damn good at it, and actually in right situ has more to offer....but his future here was likely not happening with ZC here and Elgersma...Especially if ZC pulls a BLM and becomes injury free all yr...and shoots the lights out, he could conceivably wanna play another yr and mentor Elgersma...or even back him up if the kid is legit and wins the job...be a pretty good backup and set of eyes on the sidelines for a young QB

yeah from what I know...Bates is a real douchewhistle and I feel for a lot of the players who had to endure that

as much as the pest is..well a pest...He has to be in the convo of top 3 QB's in league. He been inactive for 2 yrs now so interesting to see what he has this yr when he is playing, but based on what we saw prior....and if he has actually matured and become a legit quality pro...in personality and demeanor....He likely is at the top this yr

I agree. I’m not a Bo Levi fan, but you have to show you’re capable of being successful over a full season before you can be ranked ahead of the proven all stars.
