Piggy 1

Dane Evans still wakes up at night in a cold sweat thinking about what that 2019 defense and what they did to him.

I think we broke him....and his will to play

thats what I like...if guys like him...Fox..Adams...eat em up...and Moses/Gemmel/Petrishen show well and make some impactfull plays...and based on all them save for Adams who hasn't played showing well then in 2 games...and against a lot of teams starters....how can they be sent packing?....make it hard on Osh so he just cant fall back on his old relieables....

I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Chris Smith can do, a number on here were happy he was signed. He seems like the returner candidate that could add the most value to the offence as a DI. 

With Wilson I'd like to see more progression from game 1 and if he looks even more comfortable...he settled in nicely as game went on, so hopefully the last week or so of practice really helped him along...Intruiged what Grainger will do with only 5 days here...he has a primo tool kit to work with tho....2 nice prospects none the less
Smith I hope locks up that returner job and utility piece for the offence, as well as shows well that he can be a change of pace back...something we been really lacking....I said all along I expect him to impress and be on the roster the day we signed him...so this is his chance to prove it...Rosery is interesting...I can see him being turned into a Demski clone, and I like that prospect...
The defence is where I am most interested...Does Adams make the case that 2 import DT's can't be ignored? I think he just may, and Woods as well is no slouch either....Wanna see what River's does with a heavier workload and make a case to be on the PR at minimum....and develop further as I assume Haba and garbutt must be locks for the game day roster barring injury....depending how we allocate our imports technicallly neither need to be a DI 
The real litmus test, and in my opinion huge decison is the linebackers...I am 100 percent certain Wilson will be one the starters...and 2 yrs removed from achilles should be back to being total Wilson...But who's in the middle....Gauthier is a nice depth piece but time to turn the page and let a new guy grow into it...we have 3 guys who are more than capable with a veteran laden unit we will be putting out there, and there is a good chance we cah dress 2 of Moses/Petrishen/Gemmel...so the time is now.
Tre Thomas also deserves a hard serious look....He would be perfect in the role Cole occupied as a DI....

that was also 3 seasons ago now...and last year he had a lot of less than stelar moments...I'd prefer he gets some reps but it wont be end of world if he doesnt....I think with 2 new lineman tho they need to get an idea of what/where and how long he back there extending plays so they dont ease up and he gets whalloped when the real bullets are flying
is it up?
 

This is it to me, we can‘t just ride the middle like this. If you have 8-10 receivers still here fighting for spots, are you going to get a reasonably fair evaluation of them if they’re playing exclusively with brand new quarterbacks? And if you don’t need this evaluation to make your decision, why are so many of them still here then?
It seems like the defensive side of the ball has a few more decisions that have been made but I still have more questions than ever with regards to what our D looks like week 1. The big question mark I have is at MLB … if Shayne Gauthier starts there week 1 and doesn’t have to do anything in the preseason to prove he’s earned it, I’d say we’ve officially jumped the shark. If Moses/Petrishen are genuinely competing for the role, okay great let’s go. If Kyrie is the answer at MLB while Bighill is out and they’re sliding a new guy over to play WIL, why isn’t Kyrie getting the reps?

The decision making from our staff just continues to be baffling. We are on pace to finish training camp without our starting week 1 offence having ever worked together even once. I don’t know if it’s ignorance or arrogance or what, but it’s frustrating

while Biggie is out....and hopefully he is for the full 6 minimum I'd like to see Moses get the shot at the MLB and Petrishen as one the DI's for teams and rotation....let Moses jump right in, and if he falters a bit...flip him and Petrishen around. I don't wanna see it handed to Gauthier as thats in no way preparing anyone for next yr, you can't see what you have with the new blood and really is a step backwards.
I hope we see Moses/Petrishen or Moses/Gemmel right out of the shoot. I'd even go as far if BA isnt ready to delare Safety and Corner canadian spots, and for first game role with Clericus as #5 on offence. That would allow us to have our 15 imports with an all Imort Dline and one end who isnt a DI...Then use the 4 DI's with Castillo...a LB...returner(Hopefully Smith forversatility) ...and either another DB or WR.of whom can also return
With Hallett..Kelly...Karamoko (who can sub in for an injured Canadian) we would have enough coverage there and and could freely sub in a DI on defence. 
 
 

IT IS stupidity really....especially with unlimited roster at home....One those QB's will be number 3...and not see the field....so tons of time to evaluate them....Also, we may just dress 2 anyway with Strev being the short yardage and backup...which would allow us to throw on another Global, or national who would give more depth on ST if anything
meh...If they can play...and know their sh!t I not worrid..Hallett hardly a rookie...Kelley has a yr.....And those new LB's ooze talent, and their athleticsism can make up more than enough what Biggie brigs with Knowledge....Wilson and even Nichols...can have them qued and tell them whats going on. 
I would be salivating thinking of a trio like Wilson/Moses/Cole an their sideline tosideline ability working behind what I expect is a revigorized WJ causing havoc with 2 active hungry ends, who are having a pocket collapse from the likes of Fox and whoever wins that second import DT spot...

It's a league problem though too.
Be interesting to see how games look first little while.
Used to have basically a full week after preseason #2 with cuts then a full game week.
Bombers will probably have team in place Sunday-Monday....season opener Thursday.
The timelines are silly.  Kind of US spring league-esque.

jejunum is my guess

I don’t really think we need a playmaker out there. Block, find the soft spots in coverage, be sure handed and that’s all I really hope for. We’re talking about the fifth option in our offense at best here, right? Need those details more than I need a 1000 yard threat.

Bombers 20-0. Winnipeg is lit once again. 

For the amount of balls they are gonna see with Lawler/Schoen/Demski/BO and Woli in the offence I not seeing it as a super vital spot anyway...I hope we use it to roster a huge upside guy....someone who can really rip the top off a defence actually....Something we havn't really had here in a long time.
 

Yeah, lots could still shake down funny. But I think Kramdi and karamoko will end up being back up dbs, with the healthy ish hallet + kelly and how ever S shakes down. OL we won't be running 3 imp ol imo, so DI's really come down to backs, wrs, dl, lbers and of course sergio has one spot locked up. 
The biggest area of need I see is kick cover. We need some killers on that squad. I'm hopeful the batch of imp Lbers will help with that. 
 
I don't know if he retired or what, but Carelton Agudosi would actually be a great fit for the last wr spot. He was really feast or famine as a WR, but as a big strong guy who can do a lot on teams, he'd be really valuable. Plus being a package guy for some Iso fade type plays. I'm sure he won't be in the picture but he could really fill a great niche for us. 
 I would also consider rolling 6 OL, or an 11 formation with an end on the RTs side to help with blocking. Especially until the line meshes with all the changes. 

Honestly would rather have a well-rounded guy.  Lawler, Demski and Schoen are vertical threats.  There's not going to be much use for another.  Saw that even with someone like Agudosi.  Limited usefulness down the route tree and can't make a team.
If they want speed it better be a guy who can be useful in intermediate and do something after the catch.

They did settle again...as Buck removed himself out of the equation 

I'd give the starters 2..maybe 3 series with ZC and then park them..they already know the playbook and system and just need a few reps to knock of the rust and recalibrate the timing at game speed
Some the excess db's and wr are more for looks at returner now as opposed to the #5 spot...I think it's a final audition for Wilson..Mitchell..Johnson and Vann for that 5 spot.
I think Smith is the likely front runner for the return job and offensive Swiss army knife...especially if BO is not 100 percent..or they may want to ease him in...Smith offers just too much versatility to ignore...and is prob one the most explosive guys in camp...hope we go that route

Mr and Mrs Hall's boy.

Guarantee O'Shea saying same thing on 30 of these guys.
These camps are way too big.  Have a goddamn rookie camp and then have an actual camp where you build your team from 65-70 guys to play in the season.

I bet we get around the same amount again on Thursday

I wonder if we see a few more cuts like this before the last game to focus reps on guys. If not I feel like we will have guys we don’t dress for the pre season finale then cut em. 

Yeah...certainly no head scratchers there...and will allow some others the all important reps in practice and that final game
