Just my opinion but looking at the roster as it stands after the final cuts I am not 100% sure it is an upgrade from last year. In some positions we look to be worse. For sure Lefevour at QB is an upgrade over Willy - otherwise the QB crew is a wash. RB is a wash. But IMHO Hurl Knox and Carmichael at LB does not come close to making up for the loss of Bass Burnett and Waggonner. Lankford is not as good as McDuffie and we are going to feel that on the return game and field position. Yes, JFG is an upgrade from Kohlert but folks - we knew that last year. Nevis is an upgrade to Shologan and probably it is safe to say Tristan O and Jackson Jeffcoat are an improvement over Adrian Hubbard - what happened to him anyway? I guess we can pray that Poop will rise to the top. Not sure who is going to replace Ryan Smith at SB, if it is Lankford I don't call that an upgrade. Across the secondary it remains to be seen if Alexander and Walker can compensate for the loss of Posey CJ Roberts and Frederick. I think we are stronger on ST chase-down and contain with the addition of Rush Miles and Miller although the loss of Burnett and Waggonner there will be felt.  Can't see how management will be satisfied to sit tight with this roster. Sincerely hoping more changes/additions will be forthcoming. Not crapping on management or anything, just trying to temper my playoff hopes with a reality check. West Div is tough.

Yikes @ #67 for Poop. Awful, awful number for a D-Lineman.

I'm bringing one to Mosaic for the opener.
If we win, I'll leave it on Paul McCallum's lawn.

If starting Hurl means we have a nearly-impenetrable Front 4 (thanks to Poop), then I'm okay with it...

My fondest memory of the Boltus game is when he came in and I said "could he really do any worse?" and then he proceeded to somehow throw the ball backwards.

Kelly's reign of error was the first and only time in my life where I contemplated saying "I can't cheer for the Bombers right now".......that, in itself, is inexcusable and I will never forgive Mike Kelly for that...

According to the stats, John Rush got 4 special teams tackles.  That's one way to get yourself noticed.

These numbers are 12+, which doesn't accurately represent each stations target. Each station breaks things down into specifics, as, for example, TSN doesn't necessarily care about the Overall 12+...they want M18-49, and then they'll break it down into day parts. They're most concerned with how their Morning Show does and the Hustler Drive Show... 

Curious that there's no Neufeld. Does that mean he's on the team or is he going to be the Vet cut?

Ideally Nichols will look dominant marching us down the field for a td on our first drive, and then take a seat.

Best case scenario is one of the new guys jumps off the page and stakes a claim. Get it done, Knox!! 

Immediately I'm nervous that Hurl isn't going.

I'm in, but I warn you I may have an advantage.

There's only one option.
Slapfight.

My only jersey was a Doug Brown, so at the end of the 2015 season decided to pick up a new one. 
Went with Denmark thinking it's safe cause he's too good to be cut
After buying the jersey we sign Dressler and Smith, Denmark gets cut
So now I'm wondering if I should bother wearing it on my road trip to the Lions game
Then he signs with SK, jersey gets retired before being worn. Can't wear it if he's an active Rider
Cut by riders, signed with bombers. Got cheap flights to Winnipeg for the banjo bowl, wore Denmark jersey, disappointed by the amount of Dressler riders jerseys. Same way I wouldn't wear a bombers Denmark if he was playing in SK, riders shouldn't be wearing their dressler while he's a bomber (imo)
Wore it as well to the game in BC. Bombers are now 2-0 in games I wear my denmark jersey to. I think they were 0-everything for games I went to in the Brown jersey, mainly since the typical games I go to are in Calgary/Edmonton 

Bob is the best - pure and simple.  Too bad only Winnipeg gets to hear him.

I remember Charlie Roberts was all offended when we brought in Onterrio Smith. Thought it was disrespectful when we brought in competition for him.
I really liked Henri Childs when he was here though.

Great article.
but yeah, I haven't heard a couple of those names before today. Tahaan Goodman had 2 picks? Who is that?

Hey good job calling out the media...  TC coverage is pretty good today ha!!

I think we can cut Bob some slack here...this is his 87th training camp...

Hey Morning Big Blue should chip in and pay someone's expenses to go to... err, wait... maybe not

It would be to me. Anything to end the current drought. 

I think now that they have Ed, they're letting him take care of all the media. There's usually a player profile to begin each TC update.

I think my dad can challenge for that belt....    many a times he has flipped out and swore so much that I slowly inch away from him out of embarrassment.    He tends to really flip out whenever small children are near by....    The best is that now that he is older he flips out instantly when a flag is thrown without even waiting to see if it's the opposing team getting the penalty.   

For the sake of privacy, let's call him Rider S.
No no no, that's too obvious ... let's say R. Stronson!
