To me it looks like Holm is a good cover guy out in space with the speed and ability to play the ball on deep shots. Might lack the physicality to be the ideal guy you want up closer to the line of scrimmage. Parker looked great playing the run and tackling. Could be a SAM candidate at some point.

The club announce the following lineup changes for tonight’s game: Mike Miller » active to one-game injured Brian Cole » active to one-game injured Damian Jackson » practice roster to active Jakub Szott » practice roster to active. Don't love this!

Are there still game day scratches? For some reason I don't remember them happening anymore last year.

Much rather have that than any number of snaps for Schmekel for any number of snaps for Jake Thomas

That is a lot of uninspiring LBs

Exactly. I also read something that this roster posted publicly may not be how they designate if with the refs/league for the game, so maybe they will do that still?

Ya I thought so too. Maybe the only way to do that was to make a designate a starter as the back up like the Stamps and Lions are doing and OSH didn't want to?

Roster is up. As expected mostly. Grant is the the nationalized American so that means... something?

Looks like he's back! https://twitter.com/DarrinBauming/status/1665773097654337541 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 @DarrinBauming · 3m Demerio Houston in at boundary corner for Winston Rose, who is not suited up today — he has to be in question for Friday night. Back in for Day 1 of Week 1 prep: Bighill, Jeffcoat, Lawrence, Schoen, and Oliveira, which is very positive news for the #Bombers.

This times 1000 I’m super excited to see him on short yardage and get a package of plays to change it up. But he’s thrown like 15 passes against 3rd stringers, let’s not anoint him yet.

Ooooo ya

Clements hasn't shown anything ever. Rather keep Wade just because he's not Clements.

Where were you looking? It was the top middle of CFL.ca when I went looking for it.

I definitely remember the hype around Williams coming up here and being amped for the Bombers to crush him. Don't remember Williams being an ass about it though or coming in super cocky. Thought that was all the NFL fans dumping on the CFL.

Worked for the playoffs in 2021. Leggz is still on his rookie deal, and Castillo already had a bonus paid by Edm so shouldn't be an issue to fit both under the cap. Good chance both guys will excel in separate roles. Leggz is the better punter. Castillo the better kicker.

Local kid (only 19) trying out for the Bombers as a territorial exemption. Mekhi Tyrell, anyone know anything about him? Drew interest from the NCAA but had academic issues. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2023/04/19/newest-bomber-way-ahead-of-his-time

BA is a great show. Basically the only musician I've seen talk about the CFL between songs.

Ya based on his FG stats he's not replacing Leggs as placekicker. Maybe punting (and kick-offs?)

Sayles miss the block. Prukop threw the INT. Both gone, so those problems are solved!

Definitely need more rotational ends. Would be nice if Kongbo returns. Hope they bring a bunch of rookies to camp.

That makes sense. His intangibles might be hard to see from the perspective of someone outside the team.

Bailey fits his role well but there isn't a lot of cash left for the 3rd american receiver (who would be the 4th receiving option). Probably better off having one of the younger cheaper guys in that spot.

The market does seem crazy right? There aren't that many top shelf QBs so I guess teams have to make up for that by trying to buy the best receivers they can

Shoen can score from anywhere on the field. Demski can score from anywhere on the field. Lawler isn't going to run away to take it to the house but can win 30/40 yard jump balls anywhere on the field.

Which one is that? Moore?
