Like I said, I expect Piggy to do pretty well in a 3rd down short yardage role. But his run first mentality against lesser competition at the tail end of preseason games has proved absolutely nothing so far in terms of his ability as a starting QB. Also Dru - at least to start - was playing against the Riders starting D. Certainly not the deep cuts that Piggy played against.

Again, he kept calm against guys who will be working at Dairy Queen on Monday. We've seen Dru Brown have success in real games against a team's starting Defence. It's not the same thing. Edit: And I hate sitting here feeling the need to dump on Piggy's performance, because I loved watching him and he looked great. I think he's going to be really successful for us - in the 3rd down role. But people go way overboard and make it impossible to go along with.

I think he’d throw a whole lot of INTs, lol.

Pigrome only got 2 drives, didn’t he? What else did you want the staff to do? Sask dominated TOP in the second half.

Holy smokes people. Take a step back, lol. We have an awesome prospect for a 3rd down role. He can run a package, maybe stay on for an extra set of downs ala Strev, and help us win a Grey Cup - doing just that. Why ya gotta compare him to Hall of Famers and project him to unseat a back up we've all loved for years, who we've been saying would start on most other teams? Why you have to say he's Zach's successor?

He was listed as injured in Tait’s primer.

I always liked Jyles.

Last couple of drives watching Piggy and Salima has been the most enjoyable part of the game, for sure.

Bringing my 5 year old for her first game! I bought a parking pass because she's coming. Will suck on the way in, I'm assuming, but we'll likely leave pretty early and have a quick exit.

From Ed Tait's game preview: Currently injured are LB Adam Bighill, RB/WR Greg McCrae, CBs Winston Rose and Desmond Lawrence along with LB Kyrie Wilson, DE Thiadric Hansen and OL Tui Eli. https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/06/01/game-preview-pre-season-vs-ssk/ First time it's been stated that he is injured.

So, now Lawler's been suspended (definitely for disciplinary reasons) due to his incident last time he played for us. F****** heck, man.

If they're already better than Legs, what would be waiting for? I have no horse in this race, I just want the best players on the field. The Bombers have demonstrated multiple times that they don't trust Legs to do this job so I would not be surprised if they moved on if the competition they brought in won the competition.

It's not a problem per say, but I would no longer see commentary or news links that I currently enjoy seeing/reading.

F****** Twitter, man. I want to quit but I get all my news from there.

No way they’re gonna keep him if someone is clearly better, either.

I think that if it was a health/injury issue, Grant would have stayed with the team (like Bighill). Which is odd, because I don't see a whole lot of contenders that have been brought in over the last couple of seasons. And, even if you had complete faith in the health of the LB's and the Jeff's, you'd still think they'd want to bring in rotational/depth pieces for guys all in the their 30's.

I personally don't love the decision, but it's obviously what was expected.

Of course he's injured. C'mon guys. It may not be serious, but there is zero reason why Bighill would be the one player who is not practicing at all.

Still can't embed tweets, but DT says Jeffcoat is back at practice!

Aside from that one pic, I don't remember him actually doing much? Who was that one runningbach (I also believe from 2009) who took over the preseason but just got killed once the season started and was immediately cut? EDIT: Lavarus Giles

I still don't know what happened with Kito. I thought he was gonna rake.

So why wasn't Eli there? Has he been injured too? Seems like a guy who'd need the reps if possible.

And a haggard looking Football guy for a mouth guard?

If it’s just starting to get annoying at this point of the game, we’re good.

The next one to #74 was a fantastic throw on the run.
