Seeing as the pre-season of-season is in the books...lets put that to bed, and discuss this weeks going on's here....I'm thinking we see a nice influx of vets back on the field today as well btw

Ahh the start of the season and the sky is falling. I think we will be ok this year this coach we got MOS? He ain't too bad. The GM too is getting better. Maybe we will win the Grey Cup this year.😉😄😆

I have no idea about the X's and O's, but I am excited to fly home with the family and take my little guy to his 1st CFL game. Then, a goldeyes game Saturday. Fun! Go Bombers!

Ellingson out...unlikely to play...hasn't played all camp....glad we cut bait there

yes, but you said "bring him back and apologize" which makes it sound like he was cut... he is on the team, just not on the game day roster... yet

He was cut, that's how they get moved to the PR.  Don't know whatever happened to "waivers" but that used to be a part of the process, allowing other teams to scoop players before they could be stashed.

That should be a new CFL requirement, every time you bring a player on to the active roster from the P/R you have to apologize to them.  Sounds very Canadian.

we fly out at 9:30 Friday morning.... can't f***ing wait to get into the city! Disappointed to miss my usual game day breakfast at Stella's, but pints at LBJ Friday afternoon are going to be good!

The apology should be to the fans, for careless use of a "Schmekel".

What do the Chinese do during an erection?

They vote!  (Taking Schmekel to a whole new politically incorrect area...sorry!)

If Lawson misses hopefully they activate Thomas. I feel like cole will end up drawing in as well.

I don't think both those guys will be on.  Would mean they sit Clements which I don't see happening.

Osh really likes Coles athleticism...so u never know

That's why the Trudeau Foundation took all that money from the CCP, they thought they were buying Chinese viagra as they were told that the money was to "Fix Canadian erections".....lol

I think haba has a great chance of being on the roster too. He could be a real gem. I’d be really happy if we had no imp wil dressed and both imp back up dl.

Doesn't he have to be on the roster? There's no one else.

Bennett.  Moving Haba to the PR just transfers the 3 player rotation to DE, not a great way to ease Jeffcoat back into action.  Hell they could just roster Damian Jackson and sub him all over the place. Hooyah!

Yeah, I know about Bennett, lol. I just counted a 3 man rotation with a rookie Canadian as "no one else". Even with Haba in there, I'm underwhelmed.

Especially with Schmekel as the DT rotation/back-up.

I don’t know. Holm still gives me a practice monster Davin Bush vibe. Hope I’m wrong. 
 

Count me underwhelmed as well Re: Dline. 
 

That being said, with this offence, worst case Ontario they win a lot of games in the 42-38 range. 

Think the offense is truely special this year and carries the team for the majority of the year with the defense taking a step back.

he got run over by Weinike...huge whiff on a Morrow run...gets lost in the fray in traffic, and still showed some hesitation/confusion on some crossing plays...I watched him extensively as I dont get the props...in my time have seen many "practice" demons/legends....but doesn't translate into game play...we can do better...he has not made one "wow" play in anygame I have watched...were as Parker...Houston...Even Cole recently have

Mos has a tendency to fall in love with underachieving athletes who aren’t pro players and over achieving guys who aren’t pro athletes.
