Sorry but I don't like the total silence coming out of Bomberville, but that's just me; I like action and news  like all of you.  Yes we've extended a contract or two and we are distributing the year-end money before the 2018 salary cap  comes in.

But what are the deep thinkers in our organization planning to do?

 I hope they are not thinking status quo; that never seems to work out well. Unless we are dedicated to making sharp improvements here and there, I believe we atrophy from last year.  

After the 2017 NFL cuts were made did we bring in any linebackers for a sniff? I saw other prospects up here but maybe I missed something.

We have got to fix what's broken and I think somehow management must know more than we do ... we are good prognosticators with our comments on this site but I would like management to show us up. 

We are not hearing a lot of news out of the Calgary and Edmonton football clubs so maybe our Blue Bombers are an elite club now (as we join those two in their silence). 

But man I hate twiddling my thumbs as I wait to see what our local gurus are going to do. No news is bad news, say the bored ...  Well at least were not coming off seasons like Ottawa Hamilton and Montréal had.

So maybe I should be grateful for our club and its management.

 

Really nice signings, should be a great competition in camp.

Just watched the Myles White interview up on bluebombers.com. Seems like a great guy. Excited to see what he can do on the field.

At this point, for every addition a cut must be made, correct?

They released Tony Stevens

Thompkins, one of the few swings and misses the Patriots made.

Yes....scrap heaping guys like Bighill, Dressler, Darvin Adams...what are we thinking? LOL. Good to see you in good humor about this LG...him not coming back to the Leos has gotta suck for you guys.

Never easy these decisions, but we needed help on the OLine, not WIL.  Spent the $ on Olaffiyoyo.

Randle was a legit NFL player for a while until he fizzled out of the league. It'll be interesting to see what he can do up here.

 

Welcome back Jake.

Marouf carted off field earlier

Nice to see Thomas back. With his experience and faith potentially taking a step forward this year we could potentially have a non-import starting on defensive line.  Between Corney, Faith and Thomas I don’t see how we can’t have a Canadian on th field at all times.

Saw him being helped off the field but I missed that.

Do you know if Wolitarsky is injured? I saw him standing on the side of the field without his helmet on and the next thing I see is that Simonese has taken his spot with the starting receivers.

Per Bauming, he has an injury, but nothing serious.

Smart signing after the Marouf injury. Solid depth Canadian. I'm really surprised how little interest there was in him in free agency.

No chance. They will go all American. I know ppl love Thomas for some reason but the fact they signed him because Marouf went down with likely a serious injury and he takes Maroufs spot tells me bombers arent as high on Thomas as a couple of posters are. Thomas isnt good.. Hes ok for depth i suppose but no other team signefld him when they all could have. Hes not a starter. Why weaken the DL by playing an inferior CDN.

I’m not saying they “will” do it just saying that it is something they have in their back pocket.  The fact is that it’s only a matter of time before they do. Elaiketie wasn’t drafted first overall not to become a starter. But for the time being it will likely be 4 imports within Corney and Faith rotating in.  However,  depending on performance of faith they may give that a go at some point in the season.   Marouf may be a really good player and he has potential the team wanted to develop but I’d be more comfortable with a vet line Thomas in the group if we end up starting Faith. 

I think the main reason Thomas wasn’t brought back until now was to create an opportunity of growth for Faith.  Giving the circumstances around the return of Thomas, Faith shouldn’t have much of an issue with looking over his shoulder too much.

The reason there was no interest in Thomas...was because he isn't that good and held a roster spot here basically because we recruited nobody, nor signed anyone of any significance with a Canadian passport who was a DT...until we drafted Faith last year.

He is here because we need a canuck DT for our roster intentions..and well..when you wait this late in the year you are scrapping bottom of barrel talent thats left

Wasn't he one of the guys we were to look out for?

got hurt...too bad as he looked good

Its pretty amazing to see the sheer volume of receivers in camp with NFL experience. There's going to be a lot of guys who are surprised when they get cut from the CFL. Can't see there really being more than 2 or 3 dev roster spots open to new import receivers and the starting lineup is locked down with Adams, Dressler, and Bowman.
