Any day in Regina is a good day to win, even with all our rookies out in full force. It’s all a matter of pride.

Today I want to watch (through my radio) three things:

Eric Barrierre at quarterback. I want to see if his credentials have anything to do with the Bomber’s future. I fully expect we will have four QB’s kicking around at season open. He might become the new “lady in waiting”!

Chidi Okeke at right tackle. I want to see if he’s the new apprentice that we are hoping for, that might be a key cog in our Hog Heaven. I expect In a better we will be starting Lofton at RT as the season starts.

Our linebacker schemes. I’m assuming Kyrie Wilson will be one of the two middle linebackers in a basic 4=4=4 defensive structure. Outside of Gauther, I want to see who/what else we can put in those middle two spots. Are they going to take a peek at Brandon Alexander there,  or is he just too small? This is the one place that we look just too skinny. This is THE one big challenge for our new defensive coordinator, methinks...

I don’t care how much the coaches say it doesn’t matter who wins. To me it matters, kind of a lot. Beating the Roughie’s will set the tone not only for our rookies, but for our vets at home too. Preseason does matter for a lot more than just player evaluation.

Clercius draws in with barrierie 

Dude...head up field and just hit it!

Held it too long.  

Barriere looking dancy

Hallet with the mallet 

Is that really how you pronounce his last name?

Trying to do too much. Classic rookie.

Schmekel looks lighter and quicker. Not pushing the pile but he’s active and tough. Might be better than what Jake has left at this point. 

I'd prefer him over Thomas...as he could progress...Thomas is done...in 2022

Tho I like he was looking down field to make a play...instead of just running...he prob tho isn't seeing things yet and to be expected

I thought he’d be a slam dunk cut with Samson here. But if he isn’t about it gas out he could play inside out a bit.

I've been saying Barrier the whole time. DT asked Tait if it's Barry-yay and Tait laughed and said "sure!" As if he also had no clue.... Thought that was odd.

Barry eh. 

Thomas with the stop 

Witherstone has looked solid too 

Garbut got it! Oh that first step is nice. 

Thomas looks decent?

Easy sack for Garbutt but good to see him get rewarded for a good game so far

We have some absolute bangers at dl and lber 

Garbutt looks good...creates problems on majority of snaps..he's so quick off the ball...best on team

Good to see Smith catch that and plunge ahead.

Dude he looks so good. Has also steamrolled a couple guys 

Is 24 Smith? Solid return up the middle there.

Tre Thomas pretty solid so far ya 

How did such an experienced olineman on an offense led by Ronny Lancaster's grandson have such a bad snap. Garbutt looked like he would have got the sack with a good snap. Looked fast on that play.
