I think that’s more of a message board thing in general rather than a MBB/OB thing, but I will say I felt what you’re saying wayyy more on OB (and TEP) like 06-11ish. 

 

Man oh man.... this thread. 

Im very concerned about Bighill going into the season. He looked absolutely done at times last season with zero speed and missed tackles all over the field. And with Clements gone and Cole shifting to a different position the Bombers have shockingly shown zero interest in bringing in anyone else with CFL experience to even spell him during the season, let alone grooming someone to be his replacement(which will need to happen in the very very near future). This could be a major issue this season.

Imagine any and all of those guys rotating through to keep fresh... Now you're on the trolley....

No way. He’s serviceable at worst. Definitely deserves to be out there, just some of us think there’s some more talent to be had at that position. 
I wouldn’t lump Augustine in with guys like Jackson or Shmeckel either. 
Augustine and Kramdi are decent-solid. 
 

Obviously huge thanks to Derek for coming on here with reports. Greatly appreciated. 
Also thanks to Our Man Tait for his daily camp reports. This one in particular is interesting as many of us were pleading to have Haba get more time last year... And hopefully he's on pace to break through this year....

Cut him

Good due diligence before signing him..clown show just continues there
And as for the injury...well deserved justice done legally for the cheap head shot he took earlier in the game on Woli...u know 100 percent it was on Sheeds mind and when he saw a chance to bury him ...he did

😉

Meh. The whole draft was terrible.

Rookie camp is 80% fluff.

Christian Aurmell talks Bombers a decent amount. I think he’s the next Tait or Irving, if he wants to go that way. 

I think he’s  been generally positive about the team since the drought ended. 
Not sure how true, but I’ve heard over the years Friesen was butthurt about having to cover football instead of curling. Would explain a lot of the snark towards the Bombers.

Preseason games can be and usually are pretty boring. I will watch Bombers preseason games but I'm probably not watching anyone else. 

I would argue in the current media market Canada has enough football fans for the CFL and TSN to do very well, problem is at least half of those football fans choose to follow the NFL and ignore the CFL, and the advertisers follow the numbers.

Canada is a small market. It sucks but itnis what it is. Easier and cheaper to buy a feed for some out of country bullshit and show that than produce your own ****  
Canadian companies are awful at this. Just want to suck money from people and not spend anything 

Reklaws. 

TSN Executive: I'm sorry everyone, we can't show CFL preseason ths year because we are already carrying the Blue Jays game.
Intern: *whispers"
TSN Executive; We have FOUR channels?!

Welcome to the 2010s, TSN! Glad to have you. 

Cups are the only thing that matter. If a NAT needs to be sat to make that happen so be it.

I think the other canary in the mine type players are schmekel (barring a big step forward as a player) Thomas (starting/number of reps) Cole and Kelly (both should easily be on the game day roster) and to a lesser extent kola vs Eli. 
 I think they feel pot committed to keeping Bennett around still, but we did cut faith quickly in the past. And I think it’s similar with Sheahan I think they want to see how he will do in a better kick cover/punt system. Atleast I sure hope so.
