No Matthews or Neufeld in week 1. According to Bob Irving the bombers just made this official.

According to the Lions depth chart they've got Boyko starting at right tackle in his first CFL game. Reilly's really going to have to have a quick release in this game.

At what point is the Bomber depth chart due?

The Riders are who we thought they were.

My mistake. Mixed up my mother's maiden name (Bergman) for the correct Bergen. Either way it's mennonite af!

I will let him know. Glad you're enjoying it. It was recently referenced in the House of Commons when Candice Bergman made a speech about establishing a Mennonite Heritage Week in Canada.

I thought he was pretty dominant when he was a corner. But as a halfback is a completely different level of challenging in the CFL and he's really dropped back down to earth in that role.

This is great. Not sure if you're aware of the site but my brother operates a pretty funny Mennonite satire site called dailybonnet.com.

Oba Yo!

What's nice right now is that we have the possibility to start 8 Canadians. Perhaps once Kongbo is healthy we can look at always have a Canadian in on the defensive line and starting an American based safety.

Bob Irving isn't getting any younger.

Not the news i was looking for here. Actually not too worried about Neufeld because id like to see both Gray and Speller in there but would really like to see our complete receiving core out there this week.

When do the bombers practice today? Looking forward to seeing who's lining up as the number 1's!

I believe he was a receiver in his last season only after being a runningback. It was done to give him a better chance to make the CFL.

We gotta snag this guy off their practice roster and Coombs. We gotta catch em all!

Yeah I’m sure Simonise is going to be the focal point of the lions offense this week.

Likely the combination of cutting Hakeem Johnson and Shaq Hill that caused the confusion.

The German linebacker Hanses made the regular roster and I think there are two Mexican based athletes on our practice roster.

I wonder when was the last time a CFL team went into a season without a single American runningback on the roster, practice roster, or injured reserve?

Pretty sure Whitehead would be the first to go in if an American receiver goes down. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if we brought in Coombs though now that we are down to just Petermann.

Probably a case of which guy would take a practice roster spot.

You can really tell by the lack of talent being released by the Riders that they aren't a very deep football team at this point.

Simonise is the kind of guy at this point in his career who ends up on Montreal's practice roster and never amounts to anything as a professional football player. Its similar to when they released Faith Ekakatie. Maybe the guy still had some upside but we needed a player on the roster who was reliable right now.

Height and speed...

I guess the team just got tired of waiting for Simonise to actually realize his potential and would rather go to battle with a player like Schrott who doesn’t have the raw ability but they should at least be able to know what they can expect from him.
