That basically is what I was saying. However, 2,3 & 4 aren't locked up yet.

That was Lolly the DC. If he wants to show his hand then more power to him. Most teams don't blitz so as not to give anything away in pre season.

Well, the coaches have to make decisions as to the depth positions behind Nichols. If Streveler struggles again, do they simply fall back on last year's play & he gets the backup role by default or go with what they see in real time? Going to be interesting.

After the endless hype by a certain poster here, I was expecting Streveler to indeed step up & he didn't. Last night, Big Chris didn't look like he could replace Nichols as the future starter. Bennett looked like he is capable of moving up to #2 if Streveler doesn't improve. Next week could be a make or break game for Streveler. Especially if the other 2 qbs play well.

SPuDS is talking big picture here when he speaks about patience. Things will sort themselves out as they always do. Yes, it's true that players have to show what they can do with limited opportunities & some will get more chances than others. Lawler & some of the new receivers, for example.

The first pre season game is akin to a regular season game being played at 6 am. Half the players seemed asleep at the switch. With all the subs going in & out everything was out of sync. It can only get better offensively. I want to see Lawler come down with some footballs as well. He has one more chance.

I thought the Lapointe group was under capitalized? Looks like someone pissed off the Dragon's Den Guzzo guy. Have no idea when they want to sell the team they'd give him a hard time unless he was a prick himself to deal with. I also heard Stephen Bronfman want to buy the team. He's also trying to bring MLB back to Montreal so I don't know here the Als would fit in with that.

If Hardrick can carry Schrot on his shoulders he must be very close to coming back.

I remember when TSN used to brag about sellouts at Molson Stadium. They'd get 20,000 & suddenly the fans there are just the best. With TSN, it's the same bullshit with the fanbase in Saskatchewan.

I doubt if Petermann will be cut. Simonise could be but more likely a PR spot..

Leadership from the punting position... Interesting.

As a player he didn't have to worry about it. Old habits die hard.

Who said that? Accuracy can be taught.

I know. After months of winter, April snowstorms & now we can't enjoy spring.

Calgary: Smoke from forest fires in Northern Alberta this morning. If air quality does not improve during the day the Stamps-Riders game this evening may be postponed. Gotta say, the air quality sucks. Some people are really struggling to breathe.

What is wrong with the guy? Don't forget Hervey is the player who took off his helmet & swung it at a Stamps players back in the mid 2000's during a Labour Day game.

As opposed to the toothless mob next province west?

Even I started at 1 post.

With just 4 players someone really, really good will be left out.

Sad & tragic case.

So Mark, what do you think? More or less threads? Mega thread or individual threads?

If I win lottery this will be my ride. Yes, I can dream.

Thanks for the kind words & props, TB4. I appreciate it. The Bombers are my passion & I love the historical factor of the team. I find it so interesting. When I saw your project last December I knew it was going to be a great off season.

We'll need another thread to discuss.
