    They're trying to be like Charles Barkley & Shaq. I'm not a Kate Bierness & Davis Sanchez fan. Both of them bring down the panel. It's always yuk, yuk, yuk with them both. 

    Kate takes the panel to another level.  Sanchez though, repeats himself way too much and goes on about nothing in dome instances.  Watching him at the draft, he just repeated what Ford and Ferguson would say.

    BC's OL is still dog ****. Those QBs are going to be under pressure all year. 

    I honestly think the West is going to regress this year. I think Winnipeg will still be a force, but I think every other team is going to take a step back. This will be BLM's last year in the league. Maier takes over at some point. Faj continues to regress. Edm is better than last year, but still a mess. BC more of the same. 

    The East will be even throughout the year...not necessarily world beaters, but I think Ham takes a step back, and everyone else steps up a little. 

    I saw a thing online yesterday predicting Wpg over SK in the WF and Tor over Ham in the EF and Wpg over Tor in the GC and I have no reason to argue that. 

    Olines need continuity.  Winnipeg has a great Oline, because you've almost had the same 5  starters.  Even though Gray maybe he starting at left guard, he's still has chemistry as the past 6/7 Olinemen.

    BC is returning 3 starters, with backup David Knevel taking the left guard spot.  Continuity.

    Ohio Republican Senate nominee JD Vance has called for a total ban on porn— he suggests porn is responsible for mass shootings, along with abortion. He previously declared porn “a public health crisis.” 

    “Vance said the country is being run by left-leaning ‘childless cat ladies,’ a swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris, who is a stepmother, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has since adopted twins with his husband.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jd-vance-senate-pornography_n_628d3ba1e4b05cfc2692705b

    It's like the Republicans go to the Loonie bin and try to find the craziest person, to put out as a candidate.

    It probably all comes down to Margaret Thatcher's attitude about her slashing services and supports for the poor, disabled and mentally ill. When questioned about how she could conscience grinding the less fortunate, she said," F..k them. They don't vote anyways." 

    It still amazes me that people think she was this great woman, that took on the unions. She was a garbage human being, who destroyed the British economy.

    As in 4 on the roster today. Like I said. 
     

    We will be fine this year. But four for a game when we often carried more than any other position is in characteristic. 
     

    I was a bit surprised they didn’t bring in a decent rookie imp prospect like they usually do but I think it’s just a sign of how high they are on the nis and Malik. Could also be like jones was saying that we see more wil out for db packages. 

    It’ll really be interesting to see how the 2nd unit ol does. Could be a tough game for the qbs. I’m expecting the ugliest preseason game in a few years on both sides. 

    Nothing wrong with only four.  It's a preseason game and these guys need lots of reps.

    I would think they have maxxed out on offensive skill player salaries. For the life of me, I can't figure out what they see in Rourke but that's a seperate issue altogether. They need to spend dollars on D now....especially DL where they were cream puffs last year. 

    I honestly believe we will bring back Adams. He is pretty cheap.

    I am not confident on Lawler. I am hopeful though. At any rate I am sure that KW has put away a couple hundred grand for a 1A receiver,

    He has the arm, accuracy, size, speed and decision making to be a star in this league.  Plus he is calm under pressure.

    Three Stars

    Defense- only allowed eight points, had 5 turnovers.

    Harris- 34 years old and still running like he's 24.  Passed Joffrey Reynolds on the all time rush yards list.

    Oline- Looked great pass blocking and run blocking.  Couture got under Marino's skin, nice to see that on a Labour Day weekend.

    Everyone misses some kicks even medlock, give the kid a chance to settle in before we run him out of town. It's still just his 2nd game as the kicker 

    That's true, Paul McCallum is a good example.  Missed a field goal, so Rider's fans dumped manure in his neibour's driveway, egged the McCallum house and uttered death threats towards his family.  After that he goes to BC and and ends up having some career years.

    Haha. 

    Actually, Marshall Ferguson provided a bit of theory on why they're starting Maier over O'Connor yesterday on Winnipeg Sports Talk. I would say it's a bit of stretch of a theory but you can tell Marshall did his homework. Basically, O'Connor doesn't show any emotion and he suspects they're worried what will happen to the team if they fall behind at home and the crowd starts booing. Thinks the team needs an emotional boost. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What terrible reason for not starting someone.  Guarantee O'Connor will have to come in and save the day.  6'4, 230lbs, arm strength, accuracy and can read a 12 man defense, but let's start the more mobile guy.

    So unless I counted incorrectly there's 23 Canadians, 26 imports, 2 global players and 2 QBs

    Given the ratio rules we know who our QBs and global players are (Les Maruo will be rostered as a linebacker). 

    We have 7 OL on the roster and its super unlikely we will have all active. So I'm guessing Grey will be the extra olineman. This leaves Eli as the reserve player to bring us down to 22 Canadians.

    After that it's anyone's guess who will end up on the IR.

    The interesting thing about this year is we will have an "extra" DI to use instead of kicker. I'm guessing we will have a DB, returner/receiver, a D lineman and a LB

    I don't see why the Bombers couldn't have both Grey and Eli on the GameDay roster.  When the league went from a 42 man GameDay roster to a 44, there were many teams who carried two backup OL.

    How many NI Dbs to the Bombers need?🤠

    Always good to have them on STs.  Exume was such a gem in 2019 maybe hoping for some of that form these guys.

    I could very well see the Bombers starting Two in the secondary in the near future.  Rene can play CB.  Kramdi was a SLB in college, but can play anywhere in the secondary at the pro level.  Weekes is supposedly a natural safety.  Add in the Halett brothers and the Bombers probably have the deepest national DB room in the CFL.
