I'm hoping this is the year we bring in a real difference maker rookie to our DL. Don't care if it is inside or out.

Hamilton's dline looks great on paper, but seriously underachieved last season. Sometimes there is a fine line between a healthy rotation and guys just not able to get into the groove because they are not getting enough reps. It's a balancing act.

BC has to find balance in it's offence. Passing numbers are fine and good but come November it leaves you with a 3 spot on the scoreboard.

I thought Rivers looked good in the game. 

I see zero improvement on their defence, in fact, it looks weaker to me. That was their achilles last year and will be again....and does anyone think that a faberge egg 40 year old QB survives the season? 

Case, if he is willing, will almost certainly be brought back for the PR imo.
I thought RIvers showed a great motor when he was in the game. That, and the stuff you mentioned are all part of the equation for sure. 

Why would we? The Strev is back in town. Only way that Prukop is a Bomber this year is if ZC or Strev went down.

I am not sold on VA having a repeat of his success last season. 

I was whelmed but I’m sure there’s something they’re seeing in practice. I liked Rivers as a signing to begin with, so if he’s coming on strong that’s great

No surprise there either. Wasn't a particularly good RB.

And then immediately played the next 3 years with an organization that has been in a class of it's own in regards to the treatment and ongoing support of it's players. Dressler is basically saying these were the years he enjoyed the most in his career, and based on where he came from I believe this is more than lip service. The Riders dissed him, the Bombers embraced him and helped him grow not just as a football player but as a relatively young man transitioning to a new chapter in his life. Dressler wants us all to know he respects the hell out of that. I will take his indecision at face value.

Lawler is taking a pay cut even if he puts up 2000 yards this year 
that window for 300k receivers is closed

My week preseason week 1 observations:
The Riders 1st string is better than our 2nd string.
The Stamps 1st string is way better than BC's 2nd string. 
Edmonton can still greatly outplay their opponents only to give the game away via turn overs.
Hammy can still outplay their opponents only to give the game away via penalties. 
All radio guys are homers & the Riders have the worst radio play by play by far. 
Berrière can play like a derrière and get cut even though we waited 4 years for him.
Montreal's 3rd string QB, Alexander, looked more ready to start than Arbuckle or Brown. 
Toronto has a QB problem.
Not blitzing in preseason is a thing of the past. 
The punt halo is still somewhere between 3 & 7 yards. 
Offensive offside is still between 1 and 3 yards. 
 
 

I agree. I can't think of a single instance where we cut a game breaking receiver in order to keep a shlub. If someone in camp steps up they will be kept, if they deserve touches they will get them. I get what these guys are criticizing but stuff like that is over the top.

For sure, I said it last year and I'll say it this year that if the dominant concern on any football forum's site is the bottom of the roster usage then that team is in great shape.

Rookies for the most part aren't ready to push out a vet by the end of camp and we don't dress shlub starters at any position. A rookie would have to be a game breaker to push out a vet on our team while they are still at the beginning of the learning curve. Very few rookies league wide show that ability year one.
