Good news about Zach Anderson.

Any family member = Cauchy Muamba Any white receiver = Jade Etienne Got it.

I don't think there's any cause to be concerned unless he actually re-injures it. Some pain and swelling is still normal, remember he is only about 8 months off the injury. Seems like he's right on track to me. Fair enough. As someone with chronic knee problems I am always concerned though.

Sad. Anderson could be a force but who knows if he's ever going to be healthy again.

Thanks Cap'n Blue!

LB Sammy Brown - Wonder if this means Darrell Johnson is coming back? If he wasn't why would they cut Brown? DB Patrick Hall - Guess they didn't want to cut him immediately after the pre-season game but saw enough. WR Lavasier Tuinei - We have some very good receiver competition in camp if he was cut... OL Quinn Everett - Didn't expect that he'd make the roster...but he didn't look as bad as I thought he would WR Ezra Millington - Jordan Reaves continues to impress? Millington didn't look out of place at all... DB Dan West - I don't even understand why he was invited to training camp? Maybe we'll hear something about this soon.

The tough thing is that it's hard to earn it as the 3rd string. You're essentially showcasing your skills in practice and waiting for an injury and maybe the guy in front of you playing ineffectively. Im not sure Marve is quite there yet (and the team agrees) but I have high hopes for him.

Let's make assumptions!

Yup. Looks like Cronk will be the long snapper Rempel is still here. We shall see. Nothing to see, surprised Cronk is still here. What added value does he bring other than backup L.S.? I am honestly not sure but I don't see Rempel bringing a lot to the table outside of long snapper either. Cronk is 27, Rempel is 33. If Cronk can do the job well you gotta think age would be on his side.

Hope this can all translate to game success...because it sure sounds like we have some guys that can make plays.

Sometimes players look bad due to their circumstances. Patrick Hall was a mid-camp add, correct? Maybe they still see something in him.

Wonder if he'll get a shot as a developmental receiver? Or do we already have Jordan Reaves for that...

I'm thinking he'd better sign an extension with the Bombers pretty soon then. I'd say he's in real danger of being cut. HAH I would bet 10 million dollars on him not being cut. He's shown the most potential out of all three backup QBs and has stated that he'd like to remain in Winnipeg. It would be downright stupid to cut the guy. Do you have 10 million dollars? On the Internet I do

Marve had a couple very impressive runs and a TD pass. Showed me enough that he can contribute and continue to be the exciting player that he is

Is he? I didn't watch the game but people who were watching the stream said he was inconsistent.I trust the coaching staff whatever they do will be the right choice. And Portis was downright not very good from my vantage point. Inconsistent beats out consistently not very good

There's different criteria for a 3rd stringer/developmental QB than a starting QB. I agree with previous posters who say that Portis may have the upper hand on the 3rd spot because he's committed to the Bombers. Why develop a guy, who's in a developmental roster spot, who will be gone after this season? Because Marve can contribute to our offence right now. He is not just a developmental player.

As it stands cutting Marve in favour of Portis would be a terrible football decision. Marve is much better right now.

I didn't really see him do much other then that 16 yard run. But when you're spreading 17 carries amongst 5 guys it's hard to judge. Anderson only got 2 carries and Cotton didn't show well, but again...3 carries or so, hard to say. Our best rusher last night was Marve. To me he seemed to run with good power and vision. You are right about the limited reps though. It's really tough to judge.

Out of the running backs I could definitely see Scott and Randle being cut (Randle may be brought back in when he's healthy for another look).

FWIW the only RB that somewhat impressed me in the running game last night was Cam Marshall. Pretty sure I missed when Anderson and Cotton were running though.

I think Randle is playing hurt. He looked very slow out there.

While the offensive line wasn't going against Toronto's 1s, they did an admirable job I thought. At one point I think it was Tyler, Griffiths, Goossen, Everett and Lewis and it was still working.

Yeah we'll likely see a decent cutdown sooner rather than later after this game.
