some pretty interesting bits out of this. Just in the first minute or so kola talks about the camp difference from last year.

Riders starting aj this week and using a di on Carey. Some one was asking the last time a none kr rb was a di

Yeah. I don’t think Logan’s gonna be in any time soon. Even when he’s healthy he will need to get in game shape atleast.

Wade is 10x more passionate/competitive about football and the bombers than he is about business. And he is driven in business.

They way Wade miller is, no chance a meeting didn’t happen about the piss poor start last year. What would’ve been involved one can only guess. He isn’t a make threats kinda guy, he would for sure talk about under achieving. And we see a stark change in camp this year. Hasn’t been one like this since maybe first or second mos year. That type of thing is normal with in sports at upper management levels too. And in business. &nbsp

Great job by hogan very optimistic about him.

Very real possibility. I could see some rebalancing of power in the mafia having happened since last years start. And if that’s given us what we have now, great keep it goin. 100%. After they took ringmaiden I think we are even. I love Ted too, and hope he whips cancer and has lots of success in Hamilton. I think the front office change was needed too. Suddenly we have a ton of young blood in front of this franchise, and fresh impartial eyes.

Yeah we need stability on the ol at all costs right now. Last place I’m making changes unless forced. He danced around a lil on what actually changed, but im just glad he did what it took finally. We just have to keep it going in the weekly prep too.

They always have an excuse just like the first two months of last year. Honestly most people are in the same boat these days. It’s a couple that are still in the this is fine room with roster management. Luckily, the coaching changes and last batch of vet discards has brought a lot of improvement. We are younger and more athletic than we’ve been in years. The depth is pretty impressive too. I’m sure the roster will improve with a couple more games, and hopefully see another old head go this year still.

I’d be open to trying vaval at bridges spot too. Get back a di too. I’m sure Parker will get more time to get back up to pace. But I haven’t been impressed. To really go Canadian at S, we’d need a back up Canadian too. We don’t have one able to play in the secondary with both makonzo and Kelly hurt. That said, we could flip wil taking kyrie off much easier. Sadly, if we need to flip ratio, I bet we start two Canadian dts and di adams. Which would be criminal.

I don’t mean the actual stadium. I mean the pressure he was under here and the whole no one could kick any damn ball back then for us. Kickers are really strange animals. Once they get the yips it’s hard to break. Medlock was lowkey famous in the nfl for being a kicker like that. Up here one of the best to ever do it.

Yeah maybe collar bone, rotator cuff, or some thing even more outlier.

The continued evaluation is concerning.

If Brady can’t go, Cooley comes on. Peterson has to show he can repeat what he did, and mci is far away from being able to carry reliably. Hope Brady is good to go, but his injury was strange. I am concerned he will miss a bit.

You’re right. I hated running legs out. Maybe he needed the change of scenery though.

100%. The guys were fired up more than I saw all last year. That wants-it-more goes a long way to winning. Every one is replaceable. But we lost some replacement level guys for sure. Garbutt and fox were actually quite good in Hamilton. In a unit that is basically all our exes.

I’d rather play him at dl than have him replace Castillo. Long term, I think every team should be looking for a global or Canadian guy who can do all 3 jobs. That gives you incredible roster flexibility. Those guy are exceedingly rare, and they basically never stay up here now. Some one, sorry to the person idr who, had a brilliant idea in the off season/camp. Just like we have the Canadian qb program in cfl camps, we should have the same program for kickers.

He’s very legit. What I really liked from his running last night was that out side of his big run, he still gained great yardage consistently. He wasn’t busting 10+ or getting stuffed. He fought for yards was able to push forward a bit on some tough plays too. Good blocker, great effort guy. Much better speed than you’d expect. The fact we started out the year soo well with strong execution on both sides of the ball from the first bell, despite missing our qb1 and mop rb, after the mess of a month and a half to start last year is a real testament to the value they got out of camp this year. We even lost a bunch of coaches and front office guys. But despite all that this was the hungriest and most prepared team breaking camp we’ve seen since 21.

Yeah both Kelly and makonzo are 6 gamed.

I really liked Randos game. I want to see him get better in the run game though. Vanterpool was really good at guard. Which you do expect from an imp playing guard. But he was likely our best ol last night. The old guys all got whupped a couple times

To be fair, one near pick was tipped which isn’t on him and another was a crazy diving attempt at the turf. He does need to protect the ball placement a bit better, but he did get better at that as the game went on.

That 31 yard net punt from the lions 51 was ugly though. He was punting poorly from mid field but decent from our side. He struggled picking up the right guys, and when he had position failed to contest the catch effectively at all. Pretty disappointing, but he didn’t play that much in pre season and hasn’t played in a while. Maybe he needs to get the rust off, either way he’s gotta be better and quick.

Saw a couple great blocks from him, and wheatfall really feasted playing off schoen. Every one knows how talented he is. But I don’t think most people realize how scrappy he is. He blocks his butt off on every play he can.

I loved the iq he showed and how he beat his man around the edge then bursted into the kr on that play. He’s soo crafty and explosive it’s great to watch. I thought mci had a bit bigger pop but either is a good pick. I like tony jones but he’s limited. He’s a run stopper and a teams guy. Too much of a liability in pass d. yep griffin had a gooder again. Vaughters could’ve been an honourable mention too. Having Lawson adams and him really freed up Willy and adams. That’s the difference between him playing every defensive snap and 3rd most dt snaps. Still useful if he’s limited. Very excited from what he showed. Some great passing concepts. Really gave Strev a playbook he could succeed with. Can’t wait to see him with zach next week.

He had a Houston game imo. Beat a few times lucky a few times but squeezed the ball when it came to him. Not late stages crazy gambling Houston though. Rourke was physically broken late too. That’s a rough combo. Strevy really did dial in well though. Loved to see that. If he got the ball out faster and cleaner all game he could’ve had two more tds.
