After game 1, who stays and who should go?

dont think any one did soo bad they gotta be cut before game 2.

Probably a couple oline but can't give you any names right now. 

I will state definitively that Drew Willy WILL make the team... you heard it here first!

thats ballsy but will he be 1st 2nd or 3rd string?

Cut Willy....and Medlock....outplayed by backups...

I hope they keep Mayo and McDuffie.  They both did well last night.

I liked Flanders and Anderson also did a good job.  If I had to choose after one game, I'd probably go with Flanders.  He just seemed to have some decent runs.

Davis and Bennett did really well at QB.  I enjoyed watching them both.  Nichols, who we won't get rid of, was pretty meh out there.

Veltung didn't really blow me away considering what was thrown to him.  And who was it that ran that return near the end of the game and kept cutting across the field instead of just running straight up?  Was that Anderson or McDuffie?

I was quite impressed by a lot of the newcomers actually.

First mandatory cut day isn't until after our 2nd game (thanks to quirky scheduling) so we really don't have to cut anyone. They'll likely use that second game to further evaluate a few positions that have a really serious battle going on. MOS said in the post-game that they're going to take just north of 50 guys to Ottawa for Monday...

This is true, but flanders tore it up later against lesser competition with more touches then anderson imop. Anderson is also a legit kick returner, I dont see flanders beating him out short of injury or monster game in ottawa and anderson looking bad.

In regards to Flanders vs Anderson. Anderson didn't really have a chance to go against anyone in the 4th qtr. If I'm not mistaken most of his time came in the 2nd/some of the 3rd. I'd still go with Anderson over Flanders at this point as Anderson showed more early than Flanders did. This is assuming that more talented players were on the field for MTL earlier in the game.

Saying that though, I sure hope they find a way to keep both!

The problem I see with Anderson is that he is a small RB and needs space to look good, As we saw with Cotton unless there is a good hole smaller backs can be easily rendered ineffective.  Flanders seems to have some power and can break tackles as well as run well in the open field, more like Andrew Harris in that regard.

I would doubt that Harris plays much (if at all) vs Ottawa, and you'll see the import RBs get most of the reps to continue to duke it out...

I liked the cut of that #33's gib.  I think he's got some moxie.  I hope the coaching staff gives him a chance.

Can't recall who #29 was but he seemed to be getting burned in the secondary quite a bit.

I will be very sad if they give Butcher the heave-ho.  He's going to be a fan favorite, no doubt about it.

Posey....

Also - through the haze of Crown Royal I thought I heard Duane Ford say that the Bombers have no Canadian RB depth behind Harris.  What about Lochard?  Was he even playing last night?

I was asking about that in the chat last night, and I believe someone said he's dinged up and didn't play last night...

What was up with Dressler? Didn't notice him take any snaps last night.

A little banged up. Nothing serious, he was out there holding for field goals and converts though.

Still nursing an injury (quad). He dressed to hold for Medlock.

He had a couple of beautiful plays. The knock down was great but I really liked him beating the double team to force a penalty.  

Corney showed his speed on a couple of plays. He just made one tackle look like a post. I don't like him as a kick off returner though. 

The problem of course is who are these plays against. Even with that I feel so excited compared this season.  Can't wait for the real thing to get going. 

 

I think Kevin Cone is destined for the old apple and a road map.

I'm going to love see Corney coming in behind Westerman. They're going to wear out the hogs on the other side. Just keep going at them and going at them. By the fourth quarter, we should be getting to the QB regularly.

(That's how I see it in my head, at least.)

 

The third strings may have been playing against lesser comp but usually our 3rd stringers are getting rolled over on.
