  1. I think Neufeld would still be the backup RT for now
  2. Zero, he isn't on the roster. Gotta wait til preseason week 2 for Reilly's re-debut as a Lion
  3. Frank Sutton but he got released today
  4. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/harris-itching-to-get-fully-back-into-action-but-understands-why-bombers-keeping-him-out So it looks like Foketi is still on the team for now. It appears to be different from the Thompkins situation.
  5. Winnipeggers love feeling like we're "big-time." That stadium is going to be packed.
  6. There were a few games where we had both Flanders and Harris on the roster. I could see the team using Oliveira like we used Flanders. A few carries and also involved in the passing game. He is pretty thick so he might be able to come in almost like a fullback in some situations depending on his blocking abilities. I fully expect him to get lots of reps in the preseason and maybe start one of the games. Let's see what this kid can do!
  7. Looked like Delroy Baker and Chauncey Briggs were our second team tackles anyways so we're talking about third string import tackle depth here.
  8. We have no idea what happened with either him or Thompkins. You're reading too much into it and assuming they both just quit because they were unhappy with the team. There could be many reasons, some of them non-football related. We just don't know.
  9. To be fair they really did have two 57's listed on the roster sheet they handed out at camp, one of them being Foketi.
  10. Democrat golden boy and CNN-worshipped hero Michael Avenatti in all kinds of trouble lately
  11. Interesting. How is this just coming out now?
  12. The CFL community on reddit is just weird
  13. Hey guys it is one week until the Bombers' first preseason game 😲
  14. Hecht is also a Trump supporter 🤫
  15. There will not be any positive outcome for the Oilers in regard to Lucic in a trade scenario. It simply won't happen. The only way they move him is to take on an equally bad player on an equally poor contract or give up major assets to entice a team to take him. And that potentially leaves them in a worse spot than had they kept him. At 30 years old and only 2 seasons removed from 50 points, I think you can still salvage something from Lucic. A 6 million dollar player? Hell no. A 35-40 point player on the 3rd line? Maybe. And I think that would be the best case scenario for the Oilers. There is no optimal ending here. This is a salvage mission and Ken Holland would be wise to look at it that way. Take the best of the shitty options and accept it.
  16. They split the first team reps at safety when I was there, with Jones starting there in the first session.
  17. I was talking about Winnipeg. I'm not 100 percent sure of the number because I haven't seen the count myself but I heard it from someone in the org so I have no reason to doubt it.
  18. Blues return to the Cup Final for the first time since 1970 when they lost to the Bruins
  19. It was suggested on day 1 that Harris has some sort of minor injury but nothing long term. Neufeld and Rempel had time off due to being involved with CBA negotiations and since both are still away, I don't think there is any injury there... just CBA stuff.
  20. I don't see Jake Thomas losing his job to Tariq or Maxx Forde but Connor Griffiths is basically a younger, bigger version of Jake, IMO. Same great motor with a little more power behind it. I think he's got a good shot at winning a spot on the team.
  21. Free agency. Mike Reilly went to BC, Trevor Harris went to Edmonton, and Jonathon Jennings went to Ottawa. QB carousel.
  22. Wouldn't get too comfortable. The team is not folding any time soon but last I heard, season tickets are down about 3000 compared to this time last year. Between 17k and 18k now.
