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.

The There's Not Enough Alcohol in the World to Listen to You Award to Luc Mullinder

Worth mentioning about Barriere: he was on our neg list for over three years

Just sounds dumb... Like the dictionary definition. Compared to Doug Brown who is hyper intelligent (at times too much so for how own good) Mullinder is painfully unintelligent.

Dobson looked good, both at guard and centre as well. Still don’t like Lofton, Wallace looks more ready than I expected.

The pedigree says he can play... Just might take longer to get used to the speed. 

WJ...with Garbutt and Haba...Lawson and Fox in the middle...backed by not sure yet as curious about a few others....Kyrie..Moses...Cole....Gemmel as a DI...I'd be okay with thatgroup gelling over the course of the season...be a fast aggressive defense....Dark Horse I wanna see still is D'Arbeau now

Ford too made a good case to be the corner....defence may be really good thia yr if we roster appropriatly

Getting Ryan Smith vibes from Case. Is that a fair comparison or am I pulling a reverse Glenn Suitor "guys with dreads all look the same to me"?

13800 passing yards 121 tds 19 picks 1600 rush yards 22 more tds. No one thought he’d be in the cfl this early. If you are gonna sit a guy a year and teach him, this is the guy. It all comes down to how he bounces back and learns.

did Coleman get any snaps?...I wasnt really focusing on oline yet.

And Dobson has really progressed....and Eli out is no real worry...I thibnk more to let him be 100 percent same with Neuf and allow younger guys to get reps

If we go with that group, it’s gonna end up being our best D since 21 by a wide margin.

I can see him on the PR all yr...and I fine with that....ZC could be one serious head shot away from being down...a while....so be nice to have that new 3rd guy in the system

hell yeah....possibly rival it....and maybe some new Younger wrinkles will really set it apart this yr and have teams scrambling to figure out our scheme

A hand full late. Solid on a run play over load blitz on another made the right play but barryeh didn’t roll out. 
 

Im super excited to see Dobson start at guard this year. I think he’s signed sealed and delivered in that job now. 

What’s with all the “the crowd is amazing, such an impressive crowd” comments? It looks 1/2full

Coleman I can see winning the spot...

Shmekel just beast moded

Really liking both Dobson and Wallace

Pretty excited to see what he does. 

Shmekel fought off a block filled the gap and one arm tackled the rb for a loss 

Ajou Ajou is a big body damn

The days of that toilet bowl being jammed packed are in the rear view mirror.

Did Ajou Ajou just win the Grey Cup?

The 3 of those inside could lead Matt nichols to a 1500 yard rushing campaign. 
 

Shmekel is eating up the rider back ups. 

2nd team misconduct penalty should add 10 yards 

Who's 58?

He might have just made the team which means he has to live in Saskatchewan so I'd say he just lost big time.
