Sure. There's a good 30-45 minutes a day on the 680 CJOB Sports Show with Christian. Plus training camp hits in sports at 625, 725, 825, 925am and 325, 425 and 525 pm. And we'll have two hours pre-game Monday starting at 1:00pm. We've hit all those topics over the first 10 days.
Since I've got some time sitting in Regina:
1) We've seen Shayne Gauthier + Kyrie Wilson / Kyrie + Brian Cole as the LB combos post-Bighill. John Petrishen + Tre Thomas has been another duo from the start. Anyone else isn't getting a ton of work.
2) Liam Dobson at left guard and Eric Lofton at right tackle every day so far. I think Ted Wyman was the first to touch on it on May 12. The only time it wasn't Dobson a LG was the last day because of injuries to Eli and injury/day off for Kolankowski. Dobson shifted to center for that one.
3) Michael Chris-Ike is slowly getting more action in a FB/TE roll after his late arrival. Gabe Wallace was getting first-team reps with the injuries to Neufeld and Eli. They are by far the closest to making an impact early in the season. Clercius is down around the 3rd group of receivers. Kalra is much closer than Vlahogiannis. And Leroux is 100% going back to school, so apart from 1 day where we talked about him, we'll catch up with him next year. Gassama and Hubert appear far down the pecking order.
4) 1st team has been Haba and Fox since day 1.
5) KJ Hill never seemed to get above the third group. And when he got hurt and wasn't going to recover in time, they released him. Had he appeared with the first team like a Ravi Alston, Ontaria Wilson or Myron Mitchell there would have been more talk about Hill.
There were roughly 8 guys vying for return spots. They *might* be down to 4, but there are virtually no returns in camp. Without full-speed contact, they aren't worth much. Pre-season games are where we'll see who's who.
 
 

I know it was Walter's and that draft strategy of late has not served us well...Did I say anything about Oshea?...no i didnt....so dont put words in people's mouths...but on the flip side many others as well as you also say Osh isnt soleyrepsonsible for the complaints about poor roster and Practice roster Management, and that it's partly the GM who is brubging in the talent...so you cant nit pick both ways either...I also know for a fact Osh is highly involved in the personell they pick via the draft....rgardless...the strategy of past several yrs of picking guys who dont amoubt to anything but spevial teams usage is flawed...pick the best talent thats left and maybe yu get a guy who actually pushes for a job

I wonder how we’d be reacting to this news if it were about Dalton Schoen 

Whatever gets you through the night.

wow.....all jokes aside, I'm shocked. I sincerely thought there was some irrational love of this guy that was going to keep him around. Wonder if he asked for his release to go for life after football....

Gimme a break. best kept secret in the league. lol. Yea...he was so good that we dared not play him nearly all season for fear that the secret of his dominance would be revealed. He was developing nicely but show me what production makes you feel he was the best kept secret in the league. That is straight hyperbole. Let's not make him into a superstar that we held out of the lineup because he isn't. He is a guy that arguably may have offered a slight upgrade over an injured player in hindsight. Is the argument du jour that playing BOLO more over Bailey would have won us the Grey Cup? 

No issue with the money at all. Counts for the ratio, best at his position by far. Players of his talent coupled with the passport do not grow on trees. Over the last 20 years, we're talking Jon Cornish and Andrew Harris. End of list.
Worth every penny.

When was Harris the entire offense in BC when he got paid that money?
Brady just had 2016 yards from scrimmage and a 5.9 YPC with 13 touchdowns. I know nostalgia is a thing, but that’s a more productive season than Andrew Harris has ever had.

wayy too much....not happy with that turn of events...He better put up 1800 yards and over 500 receiving and solve the fumbles for that....back up the re-setting the market narrative and earn your bags

I would be thrilled if he pulled a Durant.  Take the signing bonus and go enjoy retirement!

Whatever, bud. 
 
I didn’t say he was good at it , I said that he can do it - that is why he on the roster. Obviously he has shown something the others haven’t. 
 
Keep crying about our FB in every thread. 
I think you’re right. $300K seems about where most teams stop. 
 
He is arguably the best WR in the league - but you can get two pretty upper level WRs for about the same price. 

Show me on the doll where Mike O’Shea hurt you. 

This kind of statement is a huge indicator that you have no idea how the salary cap works.

Just popped in to read the Strevy talk.  

Gray is a better guard...can swing out to tackle and can take reps at center as they have practiced him there..Kolo is a one trick pony, and one who can't win the pony derby....Give Gray that money, as Eli should be the center which would relegate Kolo to 6th anyway......
 
dont like it...scram....and osh has a penchant for playing guys he likes...over guys who truly deserve it/or are better....believe to not believe it all you want but 140k for a guy who at best should be our 6th guy, and one who can only adequately play one spot is poor allocation of SMS....Nice subtle shot tho....not to be unexpected by the misinformed, and lacking certain knowledge
I see tons of football players every year....coach and develop and Kolo as much as many here wanna deny it, is a very weak link....Just cause Osh plays him doesn't make it otherwise
 
 

There’s always one or 2 who are convinced they know more than the ppl who see them everyday.  Between you and me  there’s definitely one guy like that on here and to be honest it gets annoying reading some of his posts. Just believes he knows more. Like Mike years ago but Mike doesn’t do that anymore. The other guy does tho. 

reason why I stopped posting...comments like that....not sure why i even did today....but thought I would share a few things....

There was only one person with an ego who didn’t know when to stop, imo.

he needs to take that choice right out of Osh's hands....to be honest
 
bite it...u chime in too with some repetitive narrative, everyone does....and Osh has already said...he see's no issues with roster and some aging , and non productive players...so yeah...its alredy reared its head

yup! lol...I bet we deal with more stupidity next yr sadly...I think as long as Osh at helm its a given....and 2 straight Grey Cup losses....is more telling than then previous 2 wins...my opinion so feel free to flame away

Let's close the store. No point in selling anything Bombers related as it would just promote a second place team. 

What makes me laugh about this the most is guys like @GCn20 claimed all year that we were the most talented.
Now we lost. And the same guys are telling us our coaching staff did nothing wrong.
If we were the most talented and no mistakes were made, why did we lose? 

I'm definitely not saying you're wrong, but nobody forced Osh to come to Winnipeg.... you COULD argue (as we've just done with the Buck situation) that Osh was interviewing them as much as they interviewed him.... and he was a hot commodity....seen as one of the hottest up and coming HC prospects........ so I think it was likely both. He chose Wade and Kyle because he knew they believed in the same things as him.....and vice versa. At any rate, all three of them believe the same things and make decisions as a group. I truly do believe that. 

I really don't like the comments Oshea made in his season ending presser....how he thinks some his vets are still more than capable and sees no reason to move on from some...Big Red Flag in my eyes...and not a good forshadowing for 2024 at all...as it puts team even further behind in reloading and re-tooling for 2025
Either he's really playing sneaky buggers and not letting on...or he is as clueless and stubborn as many suspect, and still playing the favorites and favoring his guys....and I lean to the latter....if we go thru this same bs at start of season I hope Walters has it in him to play the heavy and be Osh's boss!

If O'Shea is so rigid in his ideation so as to believe that he made all the correct decisions prior to and during the game, then his time here is done. If Walter and Miller are OK with O'Shea's choices, then the team and fans are scrooged.
