Blue Bombers add three to practice roster Monday, July 22nd, 2013 The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have added non-import defensive linemen Aaron Crawford and Mathieu Boulay as well as import linebacker Shelly Lyons to their practice roster. Boulay (6-2, 250, Bishop’s, DOB: November 23, 1987 in Montréal, Québec) attended training camp with the Montreal Alouettes earlier this season after being a final cut of the Saskatchewan Roughriders last season. Boulay was a member of the Roughriders’ practice roster in 2011 and appeared in 10 games that season, registering one tackle and one forced fumble. He spent four seasons at Bishop’s where he dressed in every game as a senior and registered 45 tackles and eight sacks on his way to being named his team’s Lineman of the Year. Crawford (6-4, 250, Saint Mary’s, DOB: September 23, 1986 in Medicine Hat, Alberta) was drafted by the Toronto Argonauts in the sixth round (40th overall) in 2012 but was released following training camp after making the move to fullback during the preseason. He joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ practice roster in October and attended training camp with the team earlier this season. At Saint Mary’s, Crawford finished his senior season with 33 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Lyons (6-2, 225, Arizona State, DOB: January 19, 1990 in Corona, California) played in 43 games over four seasons with the Sun Devils – including 12 starts – and recorded 126 along with one sack and two interceptions. He signed with the Miami Dolphins last season as an undrafted free agent and recorded six tackles during the preseason before being among the team’s final cuts. Looks like they aren't happy with Jake Thomas or Ryan Lucas?

I will agree that we should have taken Norman over long-shot Bilukidi but hind-sight is 20-20. Just ask John Hufnagel about Ameet Pall.

Woodson at receiver eh? Oh well, I guess we'll just agree to disagree on this one. There are a lot of reasons the coaching staff should be under-fire, this one just seemed to be nit-picking to me.

Right. And if Kohlert or Etienne had been hurt and we had to go with a two-back set because we had no receivers to back-up our starters then everyone would say they were dumb for not dressing Carter. I know the coaching staff has made its share of mistakes, but this seems like just a reason to dump on them so you can dump on them. Should they have put Carter in? It's a long season, while they were in "garbage time" in the 4th quarter, we still need all the points we can get against an Eastern rival, especially one who has shown signs they are every bit as crappy as the rest of the Eastern division.

Man is Hamilton brutal. How bad are we to lose to these bums...

Yeah that gamble was ridiculous. Shotgun snap and handoff on your own 30! What a stupid call!

I would bet your kids hear that word every day in school, and much worse.

Too many concussions

LOL at Dunigan saying "****-eating grin" on live TV...

Anyone else already tired of the Coach's Playbook on TSN? Last night Lapo was going on and on about Toronto's creativity on offense. All I could think was "if you had some you wouldn't be doing this segment on TSN right now".

Any updates on Ray or Kackert?

Now watching the Eskimos BC game. Odell just cost the Eskimos a touchdown. What a clown.

I can't believe that they called the Als for the pick play. They've been doing that for years.

It would be interesting to watch a BLM-Goltz duel next week.

Montreal apparently has attracted part of the curse afflicting the Bombers. I wish the Bombers could have won the home opener, it would have been nice to see Montreal at 0-4 after this weekend.

That ball punch out on Devine at the five yard line reminded me of Lobendahn a few years ago.

Can't believe Montreal blew a 24 point lead. Gary Busey must be plenty pissed. Popp is popping a valve.

Calgary seems to have more injuries than we do! We may be facing Bo Levi at QB.

Hmmmm.....two dark-haired khaleesis?? Here's the current one...

Sorry, but after that dude with the banana gif I need something to get my man mojo back... That did it...

How Ricky Ray is going to feel tonight when he meets Zach Anderson and Alex Hall...

If this was a sport it would be the best sport in the world.

Woodson is just as brittle as Buck and Watson and Stephan. I expect him to not be a long term solution.

well, how about we give them one more shot tonight. Clearly "pocket Buck" wasn't working. So let's let old Buck scramble like he always did, get hurt like he always does, and let nature take its course.

Awesome!!!
