Brady Oliveira and Brandon Alexander are practicing.

BREAKING: Mitchell still has his red shoes.

Garbutt isnt practicing. He has his jersey on but no helmet. 

Fit in, or Footwear Off

Tui Eli is also practicing.

Sheed was producing right away but had issues with drops and rough starts to the season. He signed during the season in 2019, and started 9 games that year. Then all 14 the following year. No 1.5 years on the pr. Not .5 either. 
 

it’s a good class but also a sign of weak ni depth to start with. 

Sorry I was exaggerating, but Sheed didn't win his spot outright until they cut Lucky Whitehead.  Main point was that Sheed had the potential to be a real asshat if playing for the wrong team.

In case anyone was wondering, the Bombers are rolling with 3 Quarterbacks. No one was brought in.

I hope hes penciled in as the starting center.

Lucky wasn't cut.  Sheed took his spot in September but Lucky was still with the club for the rest of the season.  Sheed may have taken over sooner had he not been nicked in camp.  Lucky also got hurt around that time (September) so it's also possible Sheed doesn't get a shot if Lucky had been healthy.

Bighill is hanging out with his position group as a spectator.

Wilson started scrimmage as the 5th receiver.

No changes to the starting oline as of now.

 

 

Jefferson, Thomas, Fox, Haba, Cole, Wilson and Kradi on starting D.

This makes me ill but hopefully will be meaningless in the context of the actual game (and rotation).

Bonds and Ford starting DBs with Holm, Nichols and Alexander.

So Derek Taylors depth chart was correct. Gonna be 9 or 10 Canadian starters.

Ah, who cares who starts, as long as they rotate through and keep guys fresh. At least this year we potentially have guys that can....

no Gauthier makes me happy, Jake makes me sad

all in how they rotate though 

 

Michell is the first to field punts. Bridges and Holm look to be his back ups. 

All this talk about first in, first out inventory process! My time to shine!

The way the Bombers hold onto veterans it is more of a stack. First in last out.

If thomas plays limited reps, and we dress another imp de wiht garbutt out it should be better than the DT post atleast. If we DI one of the imp DTs and camp him out on the bench I'll blow a gasket. 

 Hope BA is back to his old self. We will see a lot of what he has left right away.

I am surprised by how much BA has practiced today. He's not being eased back in at all. 

I’m curious about their choice to not keep any extra edge guys if Garbutt is hurt

Seems like a poor choice to me … even with Bennett possibly (probably?) on his way here

They'd have the interior guys plus extra LB.  Lots of situations they ran 30 fronts last year, used LB's as rushers.
