I love Mos' honesty and bluntness when asked if he was pleased with the game.

wasnt exactly the most thrilling game, even for pre season. But its football season gotta take what we can get after this long lay off. 1 fevour / davis. Fevour and davis though really woke the offense up. combined 12/17 178 yards 3 tds 0 picks. 2 Lankford. Bobbled a return early but then had a td return called back and hauled in one to boot. 4-47 1 td 3 Santos-knox gets 3rd star. 3 tackls, 1 tfl, 1 FR. filled the gap and stopped the run for no yards twice. Got after the qb once and forced a throw away. HH Menard-briere didnt have a great game but his surprise come from behind TD saving tackle was the high light of the night for bob by the sound of it. roberson and flanders look good but i think a good bit of that was OL. Frederick had some good coverage early but gave up the TD. A few bright spots on a kind of meh game even for the preseason. Jeffcoat showed some promise. Got after the qb pretty good, sack FF and 3 tackles. Apodaca came in and took a shot that really woke up the offense but then couldnt capitalize. Poop johnson had a FF and a sack too. Butcher collapsed the pocket a couple times and got his hand on a pass as well.

You are now the TC MOP

I noticed the mike Riley slip too haha

It's funny Walter's just talked about the very same idea on Cjob pre game show.

Still? Is he gonna miss all of there camp or most of it for exams?

Agree on Fajardo. Of the young back ups right now he's my favorite.

Just pre season. Idk how many none starters look great at qb for us in the last ten years or more. Some guys certainly show flashes. Yeah its hard to evaluate qbs in camp. When guys ar actually coming at you to hit you and do the whole world changes. Bridge is a solid prospect. Also not super high on him. Really wish it was on TV too. Would love to see these qbs play. Not to mention the line and other spots.

Yep im gettin ready for the pre game show! Its not really summer till bob irving calls a bomber TD for me. Wonder what 1290 will be doing. Will they have the hr show before and at the half?

+1

ohhhh thats right idk how i forgot that they dont do day light savings some how. now i need an update on when it starts xD. According to the count down on bluebombers.com its 2 hrs 15m.

Do they even get to broad cast the whole event for fight nights? I love mma/ufc but i mean this is a no brainer. Not to mention its the first game in the riders new stadium. Can you or ripper or one of the green guys give an update on judge?

We used to actually have subs up north, but they defended illegal water crossings north of the provinces. Not nuclear of course old diesel subs. To be honest, with the current nature of russian politics, and the fact we cant manage to deal with norway at hans island we are in no position to step up to russia. It also doesnt help with trump leading the US, other wise putting up a base at russias closest point of entry and a gentle reminder of article 5 in NATO would be enough. Its a careful balancing act. We are seen as the ned flanders of the world. The current generation of voting masses need to consider if we want to continue that or push towards a tougher more militarily active society.

The jets really have created a brain drain sports wise in the area. Media, butts in seats all over the map. The riders dont have that.

Didnt jones and pederson say it was 100% done deal before camp?

I think hes nealon greene esque. Most every player especially qb that comes to the league has the potential to be a starter or better. Its their ability to full fill that potential and drive to reach it thats important. Bennett has great athletic ability and some nice raw tools. Id prefer him to davis. But im happy with apodaca so far. The good news is we will really get to see what he is made of in sask. It seems that he is realistically no2 there right now, with glenn and a questionable OL in front of him. Few qbs ever play every regular season game. That situation smells like bennett is right on the cusp of being a starter. I hope he does well, when ever it isnt against us any way.

just like when the jays arent winning. or when the raptors arent winning. or any thing that isnt maple leafs etc. Ultimate bandwagon town.

Yeah its gonna be a huge improvement especially once they figure out traffic. Its great for the league to get nice new digs as well. Some of the venues 20 years ago were real poop shacks.

Its text book ray. Can he still do it? Id bet my life on it. Can he stay healthy and continue to do it for even half a season? Not much of a chance imop. A lot of questionable health QBs starting in the league right now. Ray is the one id worry the most about if he was my starter. Not to mention that OL is still a weak link.

I really look forward to seeing a good amount of time for the battle at qb2, the 2nd string ol (couple years ago that could have been our starting OL quality wise) hope fully lots of touches for the RBs, (would love to see normand get 5+ carries.) and of course the DL play. Soo little talk of the DL this camp. I really hope corney is improving. Plus butcher / ekakitie battle.

I remember a wr joshu bostick lighting camp on fire only to be cut for long in the tooth vets under the ritchie era. Loved him, but no one loved him as much as he loved his guys. Tony ortiz of course. TC MOP 2 years running. Think he came back for a 3rd camp a few years later. I also remember an awful lot of vet days under ritchie, and a lot of TCF under taman. I remember blink just being a monster but fumbling soo much. A lot more scraps in camp back then too. Matt sheridan, brandon dyson during his short time here, we had some really nasty OL back then. Vinny sutherland is another one. Guy had great football speed (and good track speed too) but if he had to do any thing but go in a straight line it was a disaster. I remember waiting for wane mcgarity to get it going. Still waiting. The old K9 posts. Before became kamau incompleterson. Mostly i remember soo many poor quality back up qbs.

Yeah i have no idea how that worked. I thought once a player signed up here they could no long be neg listed. Its a deal we didnt seem to hear about at the time. May have been some thing like we had a gentlemens agreement with MBT, they wanted him we were liking young guys like apodaca so they traded neg listers and ended the gentlemens agreement. I really dont know the rules around that very well. He's a db, if we want him im sure hes a beast. Thats the truth. I mean the riders picked a gooder off us last year. We had that QB from i wanna say syracuse who came in with a lot of hype and was very quickly cut. Went to the als n a couple other places. So far, we havent had much pan out at DE, wr, qb etc for rookies. But you cant knock the talent level of the guys weve brought in at those positions. You watch video and read up on guys you didnt know about and sit in awe most times at how talented the guy they dug up was. Or they bring in some one like davis and are left a gap "he is coming up here soo soon?" In the past under some regimes guys with a top tier skill or two, or prestigious college career etc would pretty much make the team or pr before camp began. It seems in comparison half the teams in camp under taman etc were TCF. Every one we bring in seems to have the ability/potential to start/star.

http://3downnation.com/2017/06/07/neg-list-trade-with-bombers-lands-argos-intriguing-quarterback/ It seems MBT who went to that spring league thing down south was dealt to the argos. It says neg list, but i dont think that would be right since he had previously signed up here. Dunno though. Kind of an odd situation. Would much rather have apodaca then mbt though so it works out.

wasnt it last year they talked about how all of them were treating it like a get together, hardly any one watching what was going on playing on phones etc and wanted to do better? I remember bob talking about it for sure. I wish tsn1290 would have westy n walby do TC reports.
