Mr. Perfect

O'Shea just said on his show that Ford is at least a couple of weeks away and won't play in the opener, so yes Cotton will definitely be on the team, and likely starting week 1.

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 44s O'Shea is optimistic LB Graig Newman could return from dislocated and fractured ankle this season. Dr. Peter MacDonald in surgery today.

Ed Tait ‏@WFPEdTait 32s Sources say the #Bombers are not interested in RB Jerome Messam, the CFL's top Canadian in 2011. Going import at the position. #bn

I noticed that SSK lost Durant and Willy... Is that normal for so much turnover on a Grey Cup team? Durant is still on the team. They lost Kory Sheets and Weston Dressler.

Great to have you as part of the board. I was a big Drew Willy fan going back to last season. He started a game last year that sold me on his skills. Very happy to have him on the team this year and watching him grow even more as a passer.

Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 4m Local product Brett Cameron has been released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Definite upgrade over Volny.

Good enough to jump Hall for #2 IMO. Hall looks exactly the same to me as he did last year. Brohm is very raw still but there is something you can work with there as a coaching staff. I can't say the same for Hall. You know what you have in him.

Brohm was very good tonight. Hall might want to start getting his resume together.

At the end of the day people need to remember this team won three games last year. There is a lot of work to be done and while overall we are better (and will continue to get better) there are still going to be a few more ugly nights along the way.

Collaros struggles against the rush. Hamilton's offensive line isn't even close in quality to Toronto. We'll be just fine with Willy. We may not be good this year, but he won't be the reason why.

Unfortunately not. Your best bet is tapping into their radio broadcast.

For the most part (Nick Moore's tweets from last week) I love how our players have handled it. If they're unhappy with the CBA, and I'm sure they are, then handle it they way it should be handled - internally. None of this crap like you're seeing out of Calgary and Saskatchewan.

Braxton Miller will get a lot of NFL looks. Stephen Morris, we could do better. As for Jordan Lynch, his only problem as a QB is throwing a football, no big deal.

Not worthy of it's own thread IMO so I'll just throw this in here.... Scott Mitchell ‏@SUNMitchell 2h Huff says Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell will play first half against #Bombers. I guess that means fairly even reps for all 4 guys. #CFL

Canadian or not you have to hang on to the football. If he keeps putting it on the ground his passport won't matter.

Gatling blew contain on a number of the Argos big running plays.

Same with Etienne. The thing is, they both did virtually nothing in our jerseys so they wasted 2 roster spots. To me, that's what counts. Not what they do elsewhere. Agreed to a point. That being said with them being in legit CFL offences now (though Poblah more than Etienne) I fully expect them to perform better. It's also why I was 50/50 on the trade (and still am, especially after Monday's game) that brought in Banks from B.C. as we also have a legit CFL offence now and gave up a NI for an aging import in search of one last big contract extension who frankly didn't earn it based on last year's play.

No. He punted twice. One for 45 yds and one for 40. According to CFL stats. The question was in relation to practice today, not the game on Monday.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Poblah did good things in B.C.

Bless you sir.

Mitch Peacock ‏@MitchPeacock1 43m #bombers O'Shea simply said OL Tyson Pencer "wasn't going to make our team" . Attitude? Ability? Coach-no problem with his attitude." #cbcmb

Did Lirim punt at all?

Did Pencer even get a hand on him on the sack/fumble?
