Bluto what’s the deal with Makai Polk

You’ve said it a million times, the way they used camp reps and kept a bazillion guys until the end served no purpose whatsoever. Such a detriment. You’ve said it a million times, the way they used camp reps and kept a bazillion guys until the end served no purpose whatsoever. Such a detriment.

Exactly. There was nothing wrong with signing Jake Thomas, he’s still a productive-ish player on a limited snap count. But when he plays 90% of the defensive snaps, that’s the coaching staff. There’s nothing wrong with bringing in Kyrie Wilson to compete for a spot. There’s nothing wrong with bringing in Brandon Alexander to compete for a spot. But when they don’t actually have to compete in training camp and earn their spots, that’s the coaching staff. There’s nothing wrong with signing Eric Lofton to be a veteran presence to provide stability if he is the best option. But when he gets handed the spot from day one and hasn’t proven to be all that good? Coaching staff is who looks at that. I don’t love the choices Walters made this off-season with who to keep and who to let go (I would’ve absolutely kept Bailey and Grant over Wilson and BA, personally - and I would’ve obviously moved on from Bighill), there’s nothing flawed about not completely blowing up your veteran presence all at once. But the way we are managing it now? Not good

guys, Jake has at least 8 years left Tom Brady is good

First time?

I meant main camp but yeah, makes sense

He listed all of them

O’Shea mentioned re: Alston today that he got hurt at the end of camp otherwise “tough decisions would’ve needed to be made” Am I out to lunch or was he not the first receiver we cut?

Schoen out for season, Wheatfall out for … few weeks, probably

@JuranBoldenRules What would you think about us bringing in Fulgham?

I like the type of receiver Alston is and maybe he ends up being a help but the way I look at it is we brought him in last season, still made him the first cut in main camp and now he’s the guy brought in? no matter how you slice it, there’s an issue there. Our scouting? Our decision making with the roster? Other options passing on the offer, as you said? Whatever it is, not good

First receiver cut in main camp make it make sense

They’ll keep it a secret but I’m sure he’s toast for the season I’m pretty sure he was the first WR we cut in main camp

The @Wpg_BlueBombers add WR Ravi Alston to practice roster He had been released during camp … nice, a guy cut early on in training camp

I’ve heard a couple suggestions we’re going to sign Lenius, which is the exact type of receiver I had hoped we wouldn’t go after. Unless Josh Johnson is suddenly a huge downfield threat, that’s going to do nothing for our offense.

That is … bad

And part of being a professional franchise in this day and age is realizing that you need to take some swings. We overbake our prospects in the AHL and have them on a tight leash if they ever do get here and it’s no surprise that young guys are starting to wake up to it. This isn’t an ideal place to go if you want to have a chance at cracking a roster as a young player. We’re in a window of time with our core, why not give guys like RMG a shot early on and see if they can surprise us?

Another Chevy prospect bag fumble

Now tell her about Brandon Alexander

Looked much better tonight and then the other holes started getting unplugged

You clapping for a critique about people not talking football is wild to me. But hey, let’s turn this shitshow around

If you say so. That’s your opinion brother, I respect you and your contributions and appreciate hearing your thoughts.

You think so, eh? My apologies to you directly because you’re about to catch the brunt of my frustration on this reply and it’s not specifically directed at you so I apologize in advance. I’m tired of this dumbass rhetoric that I appreciate or enjoy seeing this team fail. Just because I don’t unequivocally sing kumbuyah and worship the ground they walk on doesn’t mean I don’t cheer for them and hope for success. You (this is directly at you) can sit there and crow about how amazing you are because you go to games every year all the way from Alberta. Props to you. In 21 years, I’ve missed an amount of home games you can count on one hand, this year will be my 17th Labour Day in a row which will put me down for attending every single one I’ve been allowed to be on the bus for legally, I’ve been to three Grey Cups, the list goes on and on and I’m not less than as a fan just because I don’t suck them off without question. Getting tired of the implication that I enjoy seeing them fail, I ******* hate it. Overall? 0/10 summer thanks to the Bombers. It sucks. I’m just like all of us, I wanna see us smash heads every time we go out on the field. Period.

Shoutout to Brandon Alexander for being the one guy who can make me forget how horrendous Adam Bighill is At this point in his career, BA is too stiff to be called a pylon. Good thing he was able to participate in training camp so we could find that out before games mattered
