I honestly think Coombs is a slightly better version of Demski... you just never know how many games you'll actually get from Coombs... history suggests not very many...

Is the veteran-American-counting-against-the-ratio-in-the-event-of-an-injury rule in effect this year?... if both cdn receivers get hurt, peterman and whitehead come in and Adams now counts as a national...

Uh oh... if O’Day gonna be your starting RB you guys are really in trouble! 😉

I love Khari as much as most bomber fans from the early 00s... but you gotta think this might be his last chance to prove something... in 10(ish) years as a coach at different levels he hasn’t really proven much of anything... I still wish him all the best of luck... 7 wins probably gets you second in the east this year...

Assuming you’re talking about Simonise... he did play teams last year... he even had a punt block... I think he just failed to progress like they had hoped and other guys were just better... its actually great that the bombers are in a position to cut good players bc they have better ones... it’s been a long time since they could do that... (other than the last few years)

Hahaha... if you stay near the stadium you should be good... Make sure to keep it on you if you're going downtown though...😂... 😭

he's not wrong... the circumstances leading up to the throw away were bad but getting rid of the ball before taking a sack is always the better play...

I don’t think a couple negative comments indicates that “we” are giving up on Streveller... even the people saying they expected more probably agree he’s the back up on day one... also...he did have Harris and Adams in the line up for his series’...

Reminds a me a little of the 2013 pre-season... you don’t put too much emphasis on x games but when you lose 37-1... it should be a bit of a red flag...

"He participated in some practice before Saskatchewan’s home playoff game against Winnipeg two weeks later, but knew he would be unable to play – even as the team tried to keep it a secret." But I thought the saviour of the Riders and the league sacrificed his team for the good health and future of this young man... despite medical clearance... in a very selfless and heroic move... there's no possible way we could've been intentionally lead astray by media and fans from the rectangle?!?

I can't imagine that happening... everything I've read (yes, not with my own eyes) says hes having a great camp... and we all know O'Shea likes his veterans...

I wouldn't hold my breath on that until one of them actually produces in a game... however, I will admit this group does look promising...

I think we can all agree that SJ Green today is not the same as SJ Green 3-4 years ago... but I think it's a stretch to say he's completely done...

He’s a friend of mine... he was alive when Zorn played here, albeit not old enough to remember him play... the story behind the jersey is his family actually made friends with the Zorns in their short time here and still keep in touch to this day...

A BIG ADDITION, PART II: The way the presence of Matthews impacts the offence will also be occurring on defence, where end Willie Jefferson makes the Bombers front seven as imposing as any in the CFL. As difficult as this may be to fathom, Jefferson looks even bigger than the 6-6, 245 he is listed as on the roster. His first step is lightning quick, his wingspan is massive and he sets the same tone in practice as others like Adam Bighill and Brandon Alexander do on defence. I don't recall the riders doing this last year but I would love to see some goal line packages that include Jefferson... https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/05/26/eight-storylines-day-8-camp/

Lol... oh the irony... I came to the “training camp” thread to read news on training camp (surprise, surprise)... and I have to sift through 4 pages of people complaining about the lack of micro threads.... anyways... according to the day 1 roster sheet, Frank Sutton was the “other” #57 at camp... and he’s now gone...

They fixed one thing and ruined another... the helmets are nice by why the orange pants... just go black, would look sooo much slicker...

I still have nightmares of the infamous Tim Burke pre-season game against Hamilton... I was hoping to have repressed that by now... Sounds like you don't know what the Hecht you're talking about...

Is anyone paying Booch's expenses??

Good to see the forum is in mid-season form already! 😂

Didn't see if this was answered... If you have a Canadian QB does that give you an additional DI? Everyone that covers sask seems to think 2015 Collaros is magically coming back... Everything any reasonable person saw last year would suggest he will continue to decline this year...

While I disagree with the point you're trying to make (or narrative you've been pushing for some time now)... You are correct that most casual fans in Winnipeg are pretty fickle when it comes to the QB situation... As soon a decent back up emerges, any misstep from the starter makes the #2 the most popular guy on the team...

fair enough... I suppose I meant 4 or 5 players... which doesn't necessarily qualify as "a ton"...

yes that is correct... in your initial response you said he couldn't be around the team if he was on the six game... I thihnk we're both on the same page just got some wires crossed...

I've said from the day the Lions went on a FA spending spree... their season will be made or broken by their rookies... They have a ton of top end talent... it's a matter of how well their rookies/bottom end players perform... If they can find a few good rookie gems, no reason they can't compete for 1st in the west along with Calgary and Winnipeg... and Sask (haha, just kidding)...
