Fatty Liver

Jarrett Doege walks in the door and within 4 days shows Dinwiddie he's a smarter QB than Dukes. 2 days days later Dukes is evacuated through that same same door.

He always had a hard time staying healthy, lucky to get half a season out of him in most years.

He was never listed on the roster and still isn't.

Waders27 game replay, no commercials.

Think of it this way, if he's on the PR he gets to hangout, compete and learn from professionals every day, plus he gets paid to train instead of having to work a side job to make ends meet. I don't believe in the history of the world any player has ever returned to the Rifles and bounced back to the Bombers a year later.

O'Shea affectionately referred to Kramdi as "a bit of a prick". “I love the way Redha plays football, his passion for the game. And he’s got that ability to be a prick, and that’s a good thing on the football field.” Asked today to expand a bit further on the ‘prick’ component, O’Shea added this: “It’s a term of endearment from me. When that gets that bestowed upon him, that’s very positive. It’s just that edge — not the penalty — just the edge, the desire to win your one-on-one and beat your opponent all the time and no quarter. You just want to beat them.”

Send him back to the Wpg. Rifles and he might lose interest in football. No reason not to keep him on the PR and help him develop, he already looks better than Kornelson.

Both spent time on the PR last season and with game experience they now know they could be CFL starters if given the chance, with Sask. in a pickle don't like the odds of holding onto them if they go on the PR.

Lofton could be the loser if they can only keep 2 of himself, Randolph or Vanterpool, worse if they can only hang onto 1 of the 3, don't think any of them would accept PR.

They're probably going to lose him either way, if they put him on the PR and another team claims him, he would have to say "no thanks", or the Bombers would have to roster him to protect him, which just isn't possible. If Logan and Peterson hadn't arrived at the same time, they would be more pressed to keep him.

No doubt they're going to have to cut some excellent players on both sides of the ball that don't deserve to be cut and maybe a few vets to continue moving forward in the direction they have to go to remain competitive with other teams now and in the future. There should be a number of surprises.

Cobb is dressing, I can't see Corcoron beating him out, they went out and got him for his versatility, he can play receiver as well as help out on returns. Probably best Corcoron can hope for is beating out Gassama for a PR spot.

Sterns had good reviews early in TC including Zach's praise, but didn't show much in PS#1, hope he steps up and shows what he can do. Question is, how much the Bombers want to invest in small shifty receivers.

Looks like 86 was when they dropped to 2 pre-season games, I believe each team had 2 byes within the 18 week season.

Prior to the early 80's the CFL played 4 pre-season games plus an 18 game schedule.

In an interview yesterday, Novak said he has the option to go back to school if he doesn't make the team this year, but with the recent rule interpretation on draft picks, that doesn't guarantee he'll be invited back next season.

Need to plan ahead for potential injuries, nothing is as cut and dried as you make it. Anyone know which players might be missing the game due to injury?

I say this every week, the order listed on the depth chart means nothing. Interesting notes added below, I assume anyone that does not have to compete in PS#2 are injured or does not have to worry about retaining their job. NOTABLE: The Blue Bombers are leaving 13 regulars in Winnipeg for the final preseason game in DEs Willie Jefferson and James Vaughters, DT Jake Thomas, LBs Tony Jones, Kyrie Wilson and Shayne Gauthier, defensive backs Deatrick Nichols, Evan Holm, Terrell Bonds and Michael Griffin II, running back Brady Oliveira and right tackle Eric Lofton. All four quarterbacks will dress, with Chris Streveler listed as the starter and Zach Collaros, Chase Artopoeus and Terry Wilson listed behind him in that order.

Tony Jones played well last season, he easily matched Bighill's contribution and transitioned smoothly into the position, I would think MLB is his job till he loses it. Ayers is probably this year's Brian Cole, filling in and bouncing around between positions, but he might not become a starter till next season, great to have a Swiss Army Knife.

Punting from the end zone or deep in their own end is a no win situation, even if the punter boots it 55 yds. it's still likely to end up near the 40 yd. line and points will be given up. In that situation it's easy to blame the punter, but it's 100% the offences fault for not moving the ball out from the shadow of their goalposts.

Meh, goes to show Import receivers are more dime a dozen than RB's are now, no need to spend big money in FA to bring in mid-tier receivers cut from other teams when you can raise your own crop. Reward the ones that succeed like Schoen and reward the ones that grow into the role like Myron Mitchell and Wheatfall have. D. Mitchell is getting beat out by multiple contestants, don't expect they should reward him by cutting other players that have out competed and performed better in the limited time allowed for evaluation.

Two things Clercius has not demonstrated yet, great YAC ability and the knowledge to break off his route to help out the QB, which Woli did so well. If he wants to become a main target these would be important areas to grow.

In the interview he did in the off-season with Ed Tait, Mitchell mentioned he had an alcohol problem in college. He said he put it behind him, but I said the same thing earlier this morning.....so it may not be true at all.

Might come down to a lust for money, he's American, he could probably go back home and make more. I suspect he loves football and will look for an opportunity to get back into the CFL on another level, having gone the player rep. route and being involved with the CFLPA. Hang around Wpg. and he could be in line for Wade's job when he's done, estimated wait time, within 5 years.

Some mention in today's presser of Dillon Mitchell admitting he was unprepared coming into TC for whatever reason, that could be the kiss of death on a O'Shea coached team. Don't know if they got that comment from a story in the FP or Sun . There's also this from AI header. Dillon Mitchell, in the context of the provided search results, appears to be a football player, specifically a wide receiver, who has been criticized for being unprepared or lacking focus in some games. For example, the Oregon Ducks were criticized for being "unprepared and predictable" in a game, and Dillon Mitchell was singled out as a player who was targeted frequently in that game. Additionally, there's a mention of him being "unorganized," but it's not clear in which context
