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.

Run the ball. 

Not sure how the oline not being veterans means you can’t throw a ball 5 yards in the air. 

The one thing that kind of confuses me is how are the coaches supposed to evaluate talent like this?

Michael Chris Ike in coverage! And they like him!

Brett loser

Hope Lauther makes the cut more of him plz

Cruikshank not understanding the assignment there.

Crukshank just got cut with that decision 

maybe with Sask having Harris, Fine and Pipkin they'll let Patterson go and we can scoop him. He had a couple nice throws in his limited action. 

Really unimpressed with the preparedness of our guys on FG return 😂

Lauther..flash in the pan...please keep him

Lauther might be cut too..lmao

It would take hours to evaluate the game video. Back & forth back & forth play to play.

The second half has devolved into what I usually assume preseason games are like.  Raw rookie qb’s dazed and confused and all the vets sitting, leaving the depth and lower tier rookies looking kinda lost.

Well, you see... He doesn't have time to set up and throw properly.... Because the back up OL is letting bodies through too easily. So the throws are rushed you see... And they end up in the dirt because of this, you see.....

Miller should be fired...Jackson can now coach 

Aaron cutshank 

Mastroful punt

Now Bridges got traded mid game

Riders haven't had to cover a throw beyond 10 yards.

The oline not really creating a pocket long enough for the QB to make a read and throw. But I’d agree there have been a few dud balls tossed as well. 

If Wilson is making his reads but is just off in his timing throwing the ball that'll be corrected. Looks a little better than Barriere

Riders mugged shmekel
