So in the last 5 years, which newbie player cut in training camp by the Bombers has gone elsewhere and become an impact player?

That is the most likely line of reasoning. If Barriere had been here more than 10 days I'd really consider him a bust. Right now I'd love to see the guy get until the end of camp and maybe some PR time before deciding he doesn't get it.

You figure everyone else is staying and putting in the time, and Barriere is like "nahhh I'm good..." And is heading home early? C'mon... Everyone is doing the same level of work... Some just catch on quicker than others.

Barriere may suddenly develop a mysterious but lingering ailment. Its been known to happen.

One man's perspective.

One team made the playoffs last year, one team just missed and one team was really bad and thats how the voting went.

Bones finishing a distant 3rd is odd to me. Jets had more points than Vancouver also. I dunno. I’m not saying bones got screwed but maybe.

I think this is a big part of it too... based purely on one preseason game, this years crop of recruits looks way better than last year

It’s all going to depend on how healthy Jake is. And if they are finally over the old boys club. or how far over it they are.

I’m hopeful. There’s a lot of guys on D that I would like to see them keep around and I’m hoping we don’t just hand the spot over to the second-year guy because they’re a “veteran” (see: Tyrique McGhee) when there are better options in the rookie class (see: Marquise Bridges) Between Bridges, D’Abreu, Thomas, Moses and a few other guys, I see a lot of talent on the recruiting class on D this year and I hope it sticks around

Anyone who thought Thomas wasn't going to be in the plans was only fooling themselves. The second he was brought back he was in the plans. I actually think this year there has been a lot of the moving on and won't be as bad as last year.

So has Mrs. KBF...

maybe DT aka "the Leader" knows...

I think it’s all about putting in the extra work in the film room and off the field. I’ve read Wilson is doing this. I haven’t heard of barriere is.

Anybody who has followed the club the past number of years can see MOS values hardworking Canadian foot soldiers and guys he locks in on as key despite obvious drawbacks (See Jake starting, Briggs getting defensive reps last year, Sam Hurl, Kuale, Roc Carmichel, Hecht, Jackson)

Nothing gonna happen until they interview Todd Nelson and that’s not gonna be for a couple of weeks. I personally think it’s Nelson’s job to lose right now since they are waiting for his team to either win or lose the ahl championship. If Arniel was the guy he’d already be named coach.

Sometimes a coach can show all the patience in the world but it doesn't make a difference. I think if you're an American qb, you either get it or you don't.

I am now having the same hunch unfortunately That...or we may keep some....but won't see the roster due to the afore mentioned hard trying foot soldiers...who have no business as starters or heavy use rotation pieces...

Arniel moves up another spot to 8th in line

Has nothing to do with any of that. I’m sensing I’ll be frustrated with the cuts because they’ll lean heavily ignorant of the issues plaguing our roster. We’ll lose some talented players who could develop into impact starters in order to keep good foot soldiers who try hard. Again, just the hunch I have

Could go either way on Collaros. Think he wants lots of reps so might go a series or two into 3rd Q. Probably smarter to give him like 3-4 series, Streveler about the same then Wilson and maybe a series or two for Barriere. I don't think MOS views playing Collaros as much as he wants as a risk like most of us probably do.

Collaros always seems to want lots of reps in the second pre season game. I bet he takes half plus a drive maybe more. I think strev still has adjustments and will play at least a few drives.

I woud think he just does short yardage plays to get in sync with the line...
