Heaven forbid people actually discuss the team, right? There’s gonna be a guy like a Russell Dandy or Sy Barnett who get cut and make people wonder “were they even here?”

I can’t be the only one who sees his name on the cut list as the actual confirmation he even existed who the hell was Jaylen Hall

He had an ugly drop and a near fumble too

I agree with this completely, I also feel like Haba is the type of player who is better off being used more sparingly. Guy could feast off coming in to rotate on a tired OL. Not so sure you’d want that type of raw player in as much against the run (yet, he’s still young as hell)

I think it will be something along those lines as well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Garbutt beats out Haba

I know Saskatchewan has a few receivers they’re pretty high on and they usually seem to be able to churn out some decent D-linemen but I honestly haven’t heard much in the way of hype coming from that fanbase

Thank you for this scoop

Lol what? Godber is 29 and Ferland is 27.

I’m really hoping there’s like 12-15 before the game Friday I don’t see that at all, to be honest. I don’t think the Bombers do either. MCI is a utility player, they’re hoping he fills a role like a Kalinic. His most productive college season was significantly less productive than Oliveira‘s least productive, his career YPC is not good and he caught exactly one pass in college. I think anyone who thinks he’s here to be a running back is fooling themselves.

That’s ugly. Emilus is a beast but the rest are … meh

I was whelmed but I’m sure there’s something they’re seeing in practice. I liked Rivers as a signing to begin with, so if he’s coming on strong that’s great

both divisions are wide open this year, imo. Especially the east.

D’Abreu over Rivers is an interesting one but I’m glad they’re making decisions. D’Abreu over Rivers is an interesting one but I’m glad they’re making decisions.

Kenny will be 30 by Week 4 this week, fwiw

I can’t see Lawler and Schoen ever leaving now. The one year deal with Schoen was to try and sign them both together next year. Schoen gets a slight bump, Lawler takes a haircut and it all works out the same

Lawler is taking a pay cut even if he puts up 2000 yards this year that window for 300k receivers is closed

babe wake up, new forum tagline just dropped

I don’t know the medical science behind why this may or may not have some injury risk issues tied to it, but if it doesn’t, it seems like a really good idea

I think you’re overestimating how much people care. Inside the front office, in the stands, whatever. Tyreek Hill is a serial wife/child abuser, nobody cares. Adrian Peterson beat his kid, nobody cared. Hell, let’s just call it what it is locally - Kenny Lawler likes to mix his alcohol with his car keys and nobody here cares. The ability to produce trumps all in sports.

Yeah, it’s honestly quite frustrating. The established guys apparently don’t need reps. The new guys all lumped into a massive group not getting enough reps. Nowhere near enough information on anyone.

I don’t know, I seem to remember there were comments being made about how the grind of the longer season was an adjustment for him. That being said, you don’t get demoted for PEDs or drunk driving in Bomberland so I hate to think what he could’ve done.

Also just to add on to what I was saying before in my reply to you @Jesse Are we really going to claim there’s been a competition for some of these roster spots when it comes to the guys on the back end of their careers? Have BA or Biggie even participated in training camp in the past two years? Even Jeffcoat … you could probably count the amount of times he practiced last year on two hands but at least he was effective

Oh yeah true true. Point remains (but diminished) though, he was real solid for us initially.

How are those examples? And even if they are, which I don’t think they are because these guys all won open jobs, not actual competitions with veterans if my memory serves me correctly … then what’s wrong with us doing that more frequently? Even if I’m off on a few of those names (I know Schoen won an open job for sure, as did Alford but maybe Holm/Nichols beat out veterans) then that’s still only what … a handful in 4 years when we have 24 starting positions and we’ve had deteriorating skills (BA, Bighill, Jake) and severe health concerns (Jeffcoat, Kyrie) that would be pretty glaring signs to maybe start looking for the next guys? Our use of the practice roster and willingness to develop talent has been very poor over the past couple years. I get there’s been a real push for the “win-now”, but we still have to think about developing and finding new players as well One guy we don’t talk about enough is Donald Rutledge. That guy won a job in training camp, came into the regular season like a man on a mission and had some scheme mistakes that ended up costing him his job to a veteran (Alden Darby) and by the end of the season, he had been reduced to a practice roster spot. Guy was named a divisional all-star as a rookie, but we relegated him to a practice roster job by the end of the season instead of letting him work through some growing pains as a rookie (all the while, we had other established veterans working through some performance issues as well) we essentially demoted him, gave him a pay cut and ended up losing him for nothing. To me, whether there are other circumstances or not, he wasn’t given the same leash veterans are and while I get that, there still has to be *some* leash for new guys and it doesn’t really seem like there is. If it was no leash, onto the next new guy, then okay I get it. But it’s so risk adverse. No leash for the new guy, onto the safe veteran move (and yes in this example, I know Darby played well for us but it was obviously a short term thing)

They cut DB Anthony Witherstone and DL Jabari Ellis too Added DE Taylor Upshaw and DT Devin Adams
