Makai Polk I knew it

I forgot to pick so I guess I’ll go Mills

To be fair, we’ve lost 3 receivers and added 1 to our roster since then so to a certain degree, it’s self-inflicted. What happens if we have one guy go down this week? Ravi is up and then we have literally no backups left? I get it’s tough but we could be doing more.

I completely forgot he even existed until now - what’s Terry Godwin been up to?

I don’t have this depth of knowledge about him but I too have heard of him and seen him play and I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes for a first

What’s the explanation for the past few years then?

Did anyone once say “Chevy”?

I doubt it has anything to do with his availability, he broke his arm. At least he’s keeping in shape.

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?
