I'm at my very first practice (been wanting to go since the Canad Inns days). I'll update with what I see. - In the early practice period, Brady O was in at RB and catching passes out of the backfield. - Agudosi appears to be in at boundary WR, as expected. - Grant is back and doing agility drills with the receivers Updates: - Bighill is back out there with the first team D - Schoen has made some great catches with the first team O

Bombers 18-0 Lions 0-3-15 Stamps 0-3-15 Elks 0-3-15 Riders 0-3-15 Ottawa 0-1-17 Hamilton 0-2-16 Toronto 0-2-16 Montreal 0-2-16

2 predictions: 1. Someone will irk me by putting in predicted regular season records for all the teams, but the total wins and losses won’t match up. 2.

Seeing as the pre-season of-season is in the books...lets put that to bed, and discuss this weeks going on's here....I'm thinking we see a nice influx of vets back on the field today as well btw

Team cheerleader doing damage control.

That’s epic by Kongbo. Love it.

Mic drop by Kongbo

Yep. Him & Simoni on the same team... the competition for biggest clown should be intense.

West: Bombers Don't care Don't care Don't care Don't care East: Don't care Don't care Don't care Don't care

I'm looking forward to watching Bo throw more picks than completions!!!

Yeah, not a good sign when they trade the players calling out guys instead of the ones who are doggin' it.

I can’t see it happening. Hamilton probably views us as direct competition and they’re hosting the Cup. They’re probably in zero mood to help us out.

FOR A FOURTH ROUND PICK!

Old time conservative view perhaps. Modern conservative views are hate mongering intolerance and total subservience to huge corporations. Anyone willingly supporting that deserves to be called out.

I dunno about a lot (as you're all familiar) but I think there's a better chance the Lions are 2nd than the Riders.

Awards, stats,records etc. I think the bombers win the west with 13 wins. I think Ottawa wins the east with 9 games. I think Hamilton falls to last place. Bc and cal in the west semi, bc crosses over and plays Toronto in the east. Mop I think collaros again. I think this is his best year, over 5k yards and 40+ tds. I think we have 4 guys threaten 1k receiving. modp I think Willy has a resurgent year with 12+ sacks and a big pass kd year again. braynt win mol for life. Grant gets snubbed for sts player again for dedmon. moc goes to lokombo our mor goes to either piggy or Thomas.

Depth on the defensive line is like an impenetrable buffet, serving up frustration to the opposing offense. Our team is more like a restaurant with a limited menu, lacking the diverse options and depth of flavors.

They are painful and if he did get them removed it takes a bit for it to heal up.

Bombers 14-4 BC 11-9 Elks 10-9 Sask 9-16 Calgary 8-31 Ticats 12-8 Redblacks 11-11 Argos 8-3 Alouettes 7-62 Those who complain about totals... pfft- deal with it.

so they have Boatang...Kongbo...Bennet (winnipeg kid) do they all roster or does one get cut/pr'd?...If they put Mason Bennett on PR we best be putting a claim in and make the Cats roster him

Is this true anymore though? Who plays if Bighill gets hurt? Or Jefferson/Jeffcoat?

But the riders won preseason! It was all fajardo, Harris is awesome and will lead the to the promised land. They completely revamped the OL. All is well.

Thanks for the kind words, and a special shoutout to my nephew for introducing me to this forum. It's refreshing to be off Facebook and engaging with you all here! Believe it or not, I've only been a football fan for a few years, but I've quickly become captivated by the excitement and strategy of the game.

told you it was a big nothing burger...seen him personally and up close training...there was nothing wrong and am certain he...and a couple of others who were "injured" have been putting in the work and will be just fine condition wise on Friday

Wild coincidence that it cleared up just in time for training camp to end

And, if you're a politician, you have a larger responsibility not to be a POS. That's tough for Browaty.

If BC struggles at all they will fade hard. There's no culture there and Campbell is a terrible head coach. Cannot believe he's the GM too. Their only hope is Evans taking over. Guys like Rhymes will be belly aching pretty quick.

i would bet on it

HILARIOUS.........Hope the Leos absolutely tank. Kongbo tried to bring FIFO to the west coast, and got a resounding "meh..." Incredible. Really too bad we couldn't bring him back, where he belongs.

Kongbo coming in hot!

Never really heard of any disruptions by Kongbo here.....our locker room seemed pretty tight....Don't think a guy turns sour over night BUT something is going on and it might not fit fifo's parameters.....Go after Bennett for sure.....someone is going to shake loose in the hammer, and it would be right up our alley if it was Bennett

Wouldn’t even need the nationalized American rule for the DI RB. Just throw BOLO or a fullback out there every down and have one less American receiver. Like you say can use Bailey half time in that scenario too. I think they have a lot of misplaced faith in Augustine to carry that role if Oliviera was out for awhile…but even if he can he has no backup. We really need some of the Canadians on D to pan out. We know Gauthier and Briggs can be role players, we NEED Thomas and Lawson to hold down one spot, but we really need Bennett to be an adequate player for 20-25 snaps a game and we need Hallett to stay healthy. I don’t think they want to throw Kelly out there as a rookie unless it’s complete desperation.

bizzare

I’ve just really disliked our use of the practice roster for a couple years now. I don’t understand the goal with it at all, we usually carry far too many offensive linemen and don’t have plans in place for any wildly unfortunate injury. Who plays if Oliviera gets hurt? Even if the answer is Augustine, we don’t have a backup on the practice roster. And if you’re saying Greg McCrae is listed as a running back, he didn’t take a snap there in the preseason so tell me how prepared the team has him for that. What happens if Agudosi gets hurt? A Canadian rookie? Shuffle guys around to put McCrae in the slot? What about Jefferson and Jeffcoat, especially while Hansen is out. What about Bighill? We don’t even have a fourth QB on there right now if something happens to Pigrome or Dru.

It has nothing to do with succession planning. We don’t need to find a vet. That’s the thing, everyone is talking about how Walters gets the trust and benefit of the doubt (which he does, don’t get me wrong) because of everything he’s done before. That’s my whole concern. It doesn’t feel like our normal roster plan this year. 2019, we added Janarion Grant … Rasheed Bailey … Lucky Whitehead … Stove … probably forgetting a few names, but those are all year 1 CFL guys that made a big impact for us. We’ve never rested on our laurels and this year, it doesn’t even feel like we have the option to do anything else. Where is the talent going to pitch in? Our practice roster has 13 names on it and of those 13, 4 of them are Americans at “skill positions” and 3 of those guys are at our deepest position groups. We have a grand total of 0 rush ends or linebackers on our practice roster and those were clearly our weak spots last year.

Ham offence doesnt really scare me.....Jury out on their defense for now...but I agree...that will be their strong point

He'll just appreciate someone catching his passes.

nope...its a quality prediction hahaha

Playing for U of R. Redshirted last year due to injury.

Too bad Kyle Borsa didn't work out...

Haven't seen Augustine light the world on fire but a few on here were lobbying for him to start over Brady. Myself included. That being said obviously the right decision was made but I still think Johnny A has some big play ability. LaFrance? **** no

Substitution for the player is allowed.

oh right...I was wondering...why all of this sudden love for Pat Cantner? AH makes more sense.

Until AH retired and is on the ring of honour anyone who wants it can wear that as far as I am concerned. After that, you need to earn it or have his permission.

Yeah was thinking more defensively and Canadian, but you're right. Keep finding DB's too. DL/LB are kind of a dead zone though.

What do Faarooq and Bradshaw have to do with any of this? I’m not playing the nickname game. If you can’t see what you’re doing here, you don’t want to.
