[Randle Extended]

I hope they move him back to corner this season. If so, does Leggett stay at SAM with Harris at safety?

Not uncommon for casual fans to like "fan-favourite" players over actual good players... I remember the casual fan outrage when we released Jason Vega last year... good player but he certainly didn't live up to the contract he had...

Greg Peach... seems like a nice guy, good leader, probably a good locker room guy... but all that means nothing if you can't play...

I know this is totally unrelated to the discussion but that last part perfectly describes Mark Stuart with the Jets. Sorry, continue on.

[Zach Anderson Released]

Turner is next

[Nichols is the man.]

Sucks we lost Randle for the season, but I actually thought Leggett at LB is a good thing. He wasn't making plays at safety but he seemed to be aggressive last night at LB. 

[[MERGED] Low Down, Rock Bottom (Stone Cold Stunned?)]

You think we are low right now, just wait until this happens at home next week. I'm actually at a loss right now, besides firing almost everybody I don't know how to fix this mess. During a grey cup hosting year for us too...

[Do or Die Detailed Half Time Report...]

We should trade our first round pick in next year's CFL Draft for a veteran qb who can come in & play. Oh wait....

Maybe Waggoner can throw the ball?

[paris cotton vs cam marshall]

running Cotton up the middle for a loss or no gain is hard to watch. Wish they'd run that with Marshall and bring Cotton in for stretch plays or off-tackle runs

[Odds and Sods - Game 5 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Edmonton Eskimoes]

The team folds not because they just saw Willy get hurt and leave the game, but because they see Brohm come into it.

[Bombers Practice -- Injury Updates]

Lets not panic about Goosen. Chung is actually older then him, which I found interesting.

[The Daily Early Game Day Thread - WPG @ CAL]

 

Wonder if Bastien will take over Feoli-Gudino's role since he hasn't been great so far this season

 

 

Bastien has been just as bad if not worse. So I doubt it. And to be fair, JFG only really struggled in the Hamilton game.

 

Just hope one of those 2 guys steps up soon.

[Bomber injury updates]

Gordon and Collins could play? I like it.

You think they would activate Gordon? I think Veltung might make more sense if Adams can't play this week.

[Fire Richie Hall]

Nate Collins is what 6'5 330 lbs I would think he is everything you want in a NT. Harlan is not a small guy either.

He is listed at 6'2 294 lbs

[Optimist, Pessimist or Realist for Friday]

my general feeling this week is that when it comes to concussions, everyone is a doctor with 8 phd's and have done decades of research about concussions.

[21,337 season tickets sold]

27,000 for tonight is kinda weak, hope the walk up crowd can boost this number

[Lock of the Week 2 (**UPDATED RESULTS**)]

Marshall

[[MERGED] BOMBERS ADD POSEY AND DAVIS TO PRACTICE ROSTER]

Unless we can get really good value on a trade, I would not want to see us trade away a QB. Why help out the competition? A QB is tough to replace on short notice, especially now that the season is underway. 

[Pre-season- Game 2 - HAM @ WPG]

I think the forecast has improved over the last day or two. Was a 60% chance of rain but I just checked and not its down to 40%.

 

Either way I'll be there with beers in hand to see what our team is starting to look like. Cant wait to be back at IGF for a bomber game! Go Blue!

[[MERGED] Pre-Season Game 2 (Depth Chart etc)]

If I had to predict the 44 man roster today ...

 

QB - Willy, Brohm, Marve

RB - Cotton, Normand

FB - Pontbriand

REC - Moore, Denmark, Adams, Gordon, Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Richards, Bastien

OL - Bryant, Greaves, Picard, Chungh, Daniels, Goossen

 

DL - Westerman, Turner, Anderson, Peach, Gibson, I. Brown, Collins

LB - Hurl, Wright, Randle, Waggoner, Newman, Briggs

DB - Adams, Washington, Richardson, Bucknor, Jones, Unamba

S - Leggett, Sherman

 

K - Hajrullahu

LS - Rempel

KR - Stoudermire (whoever wins the job will go here until he's healthy - maybe Anderson? or maybe they split between Cotton/Gordon and dress a guy like Cameron Marshall also)

You think they will have Normand at RB? When they drafted him I was hoping he could be the "thunder" back that everyone keeps mentioning. He's a similar size to Messam, might be useful to wear down defences and then change pace with either Cotton or Anderson (whoever is left standing after cuts). What do you think?

[[MERGED] Pre-Season Game 2 (Depth Chart etc)]

For the first time in a long time, I don't think depth will be a key problem for us in 2015.  We're starting 10 Canadians tomorrow... we have capable Canadian backups for all 3 interior OL positions (Goossen for all 3, Neufeld/Chungh for either G position).  And although it's pretty much acknowledged that Newman and Sherman won't start; an injury to Westerman won't hoop us, as we've still got Bucknor on D as our 7th CDN, and capable players in Newman and Sherman.

 

We also should have the flexibility to start EITHER Kohlert or JFG/Bastien if we want to play Moore, Denmark, Darvin, and Jhomo (or Clemons). 

 

Walters and his team have done a really great job retooling in about a year and a half on the job.

That, and we have Ivan Brown behind Westerman on the depth chart

[Why do we get stuck playing the Eastern teams during Exhibition season?]

why does it matter?

[TSN broadcasting the Bomber game now?]

I just hope we can get a stream of the game like we did against Toronto. I did a quick search on twitter but couldn't find anything, has there been any mention of another stream?

[Who gets the axe by Monday?]

Surprised Brown and Tuinei are gone. Also, Millington gets the axe and Jordan Reaves is still here, hope he can continue to get better and make some noise

[Preseason Game 1 Backup QB Drives]

I haven't been a big Brohm fan, but he has been the most consistent thus far. Marve brings a spark, but his injury history and how heavily he depends on his legs make me nervous. Portis didn't look particularly good against Toronto, he will have to put on a show in the final preseason game but even then I'm not sure how he fits into the mix.

[Preseason - Game One - WPG @ TOR]

besides that punt return, our RBs were horrible last night. Was happy to see Goossen and Chung play well though.
