Iran's President & Foreign Minister dead from a helicopter crash yesterday in dense fog of the mountains of Iran. Will they blame Israel??? Israelis are saying they weren't responsible. Some people celebrating his death with fireworks & dancing in Tehran.

What reports? Who is saying that?? We've hardly had any news on the team at all.

The game will be televised on CFL Plus if you wish to view it. https://www.cfl.ca/plus/

speaking of Twitter...

I just feel like he's a gamer and when the lights are on we see his best

Can just speak to what I've heard on Twitter. Some folks that have been at camp the last few days say he was looking pretty rough. Take it for what it's worth. I should also be clear that the sample size was a few recent days of camp, not necessarily the entire thing.

Bombers that aren't playing in the first pre-season game: Zach Collaros 8 QB A Brady Oliveira 20 RB N Injured Veteran Dalton Schoen 83 WR A Nic Demski 10 WR N Injured Veteran Ronnie Blackmon 15 WR A Tyler Adams 74 WR A Keric Wheatfall 79 WR A Josh Johnson 84 WR A Isaiah Coulter 73 WR A Josh Vann 81 WR A Patrick Neufeld 53 OL N "retired" Tui Eli 65 OL N Jake Thomas 95 DT N Adam Bighill 4 LB A 6 game injury Kyrie Wilson 19 LB A Max Charbonneau 39 LB N Deatrick Nichols 1 DB A Brandon Alexander 37 DB A Jamal Parker 7 DB A 6 game injury Evan Holm 31 DB A Noah Hallett 23 DB N 6 game injury Patrick Rogers 3 DB A Michael Griffin 38 DB A

Who is doing this reporting? Boomer Esiason?

So hard to find good help these days.

MOS keeps looking for new dressing room leaders ... candidate Strevler

Man I have been so ******* busy I haven't made it to a camp. Strevler hasn't looked good?

I'm fully expecting us to lose, and lose badly. We're talking the Riders starters vs our tryout team. If we make it close it will be very embarassing for them. I'm mainly interested in: D-Line play - need a couple guys here to stand ouy O-line play (if some of our projected starters are playing) - have to be able to protect the QB and we are down two starters from last year. Linebackers - Not much to say from Camp. Biggie isn't going to last forever. We need to start thinking transition plan. Kick returners - will feel a lot better if we can find someone who can consistently catch the ball and get up the field Quarterbacks - Who is going to step up if Collaros goes down? There's been some reports that Strev has not looked good in practice. We need him to be #2 not a short yardage/package QB in case there's an injury to Collaros.

Any day in Regina is a good day to win, even with all our rookies out in full force. It’s all a matter of pride. Today I want to watch (through my radio) three things: Eric Barrierre at quarterback. I want to see if his credentials have anything to do with the Bomber’s future. I fully expect we will have four QB’s kicking around at season open. He might become the new “lady in waiting”! Chidi Okeke at right tackle. I want to see if he’s the new apprentice that we are hoping for, that might be a key cog in our Hog Heaven. I expect In a better we will be starting Lofton at RT as the season starts. Our linebacker schemes. I’m assuming Kyrie Wilson will be one of the two middle linebackers in a basic 4=4=4 defensive structure. Outside of Gauther, I want to see who/what else we can put in those middle two spots. Are they going to take a peek at Brandon Alexander there, or is he just too small? This is the one place that we look just too skinny. This is THE one big challenge for our new defensive coordinator, methinks... I don’t care how much the coaches say it doesn’t matter who wins. To me it matters, kind of a lot. Beating the Roughie’s will set the tone not only for our rookies, but for our vets at home too. Preseason does matter for a lot more than just player evaluation.

Yes,he forgot that pesky extra down the NFL has though...😄😉

Sure. There's a good 30-45 minutes a day on the 680 CJOB Sports Show with Christian. Plus training camp hits in sports at 625, 725, 825, 925am and 325, 425 and 525 pm. And we'll have two hours pre-game Monday starting at 1:00pm. We've hit all those topics over the first 10 days. Since I've got some time sitting in Regina: 1) We've seen Shayne Gauthier + Kyrie Wilson / Kyrie + Brian Cole as the LB combos post-Bighill. John Petrishen + Tre Thomas has been another duo from the start. Anyone else isn't getting a ton of work. 2) Liam Dobson at left guard and Eric Lofton at right tackle every day so far. I think Ted Wyman was the first to touch on it on May 12. The only time it wasn't Dobson a LG was the last day because of injuries to Eli and injury/day off for Kolankowski. Dobson shifted to center for that one. 3) Michael Chris-Ike is slowly getting more action in a FB/TE roll after his late arrival. Gabe Wallace was getting first-team reps with the injuries to Neufeld and Eli. They are by far the closest to making an impact early in the season. Clercius is down around the 3rd group of receivers. Kalra is much closer than Vlahogiannis. And Leroux is 100% going back to school, so apart from 1 day where we talked about him, we'll catch up with him next year. Gassama and Hubert appear far down the pecking order. 4) 1st team has been Haba and Fox since day 1. 5) KJ Hill never seemed to get above the third group. And when he got hurt and wasn't going to recover in time, they released him. Had he appeared with the first team like a Ravi Alston, Ontaria Wilson or Myron Mitchell there would have been more talk about Hill. There were roughly 8 guys vying for return spots. They *might* be down to 4, but there are virtually no returns in camp. Without full-speed contact, they aren't worth much. Pre-season games are where we'll see who's who.

He's saying the 2 leagues differ.

I wish I could give a camp report. Tough to find the time these days. Maybe I try to get out on Wednesday, if they are practicing.

That's Done.

you mean a 90 yard kickoff is finally a rouge again?

Really? Jk....😉

They all can in the nfl tho. Plus we have no yards and other things that they don’t.

Did you ever think that maybe it’s you?

Likely yeah...sad that many no longer post here...or much...or just won't cause of the nozzles... Bauming does good stuff...and he has no real bias in my opinion...and guys will talk to him...some scribes not so much..and will only give the minimum Lol...whoever pm's with me...I respond to and converse with And be nice to know who is competing at what spot even...and if new guys are even getting a legit opportunity...it's not rocket science even from an untrained eye to see that

“Who may win the ten available roster spots we have available?” isn’t minutiae

We aren’t talking minutia, we are talking basic roster and practice updates. Oh hey, btw this vet hasn’t played all Tc but he’s fine. Oh never mind missed 6 games. They’ve always had multiple beats, the Bombers are one but aren’t covered for news. And this is one of the slowest periods of sporting news. Go look at tc day 1 news for the jets. NHL, you’ll see 4 source articles with the type of break downs we used to see. So and so didn’t practice. This person got most of the reps at they position and looked how ever. Now good the ny jets tc day 1, 2 hour pre show. This is the content the modern sporting market wants.
