A second Canadian receiver could have easily replaced the nothing we were getting from some of our American receivers.

I went yesterday to the afternoon camp. Didn’t stay for too long, but have a few notes that I took down. take it for what it’s worth First thing I saw when they were warming up I saw Demski and Lafrance catching one handed passss. Lafrance caught every pass one handed and made it look machine like. Made me think that Lafrance might be capable of catching passes out of the backfield pretty well, kind of like Harris as a utility - jack of all trades- back. For all the talk about Corey Washington, sure noticed that he wasn’t tracking the ball too well and dropped a couple easy passes. Seemed to settle in later in the practice but I noticed him in a bad way. Regardless, pretty big and seems to a polished route runner. Tyler Henry made a nice catch in tight coverage. Looked fairly impressive for a Canadian option, was he in camp last year? Coney is FAST and pretty illusive. Tony Stevens was the most impressive of the bunch in my opinion. sam brown got burned bad a couple of times. thats all I noticed, sorry I don’t have more to contribute. Oh and p.s was nice to see #1 Darvin adams just being around the team. Wasn’t competing but was throwing passes to some of the receivers when they were running drills. Dude has a hell of an arm

OMG THORPE super star THORPE!!! Sign him now!

Great read from Seravalli: https://www.tsn.ca/how-the-jets-grew-to-be-stanley-cup-contenders-1.1069834 And handful of great quotes:

Perhaps we'll get insight like: How Matthews feels about the Jets. How Babcock would set up the Jets power play. How far would the Jets go if Anderson was in net. If the Jets played in Mississauga, would Cherry attend the games. Who's the best former Leaf to play with the Jets 2.0. If the Leafs were in the Central how many records would they have achieved this season. How much better is Marner than Laine. When is Laine a UFA. Where does Tavares start for the Leafs next year. There's a leaf on the Jets jersey, so are they truly Toronto's team. Jets owner lives in Toronto, so does Toronto own them too. If the game starts at 7 central, what time is that in the centre of the universe. Can Matthews get another Calder this year. Can the Leafs send Marner and Matthews to the Marlies to help them with Jr Stanley Cup. Why is the NHL still on TV when the Marlies are playing.

I'll be paying close attention to the Cleveland Browns in the NFL draft over the next few days. Currently Geoff Gray is a fringe roster player but that could change depending on how many offensive lineman the Browns end up drafting and where they draft them. Typically NFL teams like to carry 9 offensive lineman on the gameday roster and 2 of them tend to be young developmental guys. Geoff Gray will be in a battle to stick as one of the two developmental lineman. If healthy, tackle Rod Johnson who the team drafted in the 5th round last year would be in line to be one of the two making the roster. Gray would currently be competing with undrafted free agents Victor Salako and Christian Schneider for that final roster spot. No doubt they will bring in more undrafted free agents this season but the real wildcard here is the fact that the Browns are loaded with 12 picks in this year's draft. They could use a first or 2nd round pick to draft a tackle to compete for the starting job which is currently available but this would have little impact on Gray as it would likely lead to a veteran backup being beat out. What I'm most interested to see is if they pick any offensive lineman in rounds 4 through 7 who would be very hard to release after having given them signing bonuses and have spent draft picks on them. Typically 20% of picks are used on offensive lineman in the NFL. So the way I see it they pick one in the first two rounds and then 1 or 2 later on in the draft to develop. In a few days we should have a much better idea of what Gray's realistic chances are of sticking with the Browns this season. I view this season as a make or break year for him. He needs to make a roster. There's simply too much attrition going on and after failing to crack two rosters so far this could be one of the last opportunities he has to stick it out in the NFL. By next season he'll be 24 and no longer viewed as a developmental project. He'll undoubtedly start being viewed for only what he currently brings to the table. The clock is ticking. I hope he does well but deep down I would love to see him come up here and have a long career for the bombers.

Nashville! I hate Nashville. They are the source of the world supply of crappy assembly-line country music. Also their uniforms are goddamn hideous. They look like an entire husky team peed on the ice and then all the players dared each other to roll around in it before it froze. And then for good measure they rolled around in a big ashtray. Go Jets!

Lol. You cant push your beliefs on other countries. They need to do it themselves. You got twitter? Go talk to ppl who live there.. The first concert there was in 2016. It doesnt happen overnight but Change is happening there. Its just happening at their pace. Yes women should be allowed to wrestle and do other things there. Its coming. Give it a few years. You are over reacting big time. Imagine you lived there.. Grew up there. How would you like ppl telling you what you are trying to push?

Cuz they beat a team who is old and aren't Very good? Nash or Jets will kill Vegas.

Well....if the plan is to get Roman over by losing he should be over soon! Botched finish. Roman boo’ed in Saudi have to think they’ve changed their minds on Roman now. Braun will beat Brock. Brock clearly preparing to re-enter USADA. Rumble winner gets a Saudi Championship belt. Lol

I’m surprise that the patriots didn’t take qb Jackson. I guess they are still laser focused on what the team needs to win the Super Bowl right now. But eventually Tom Brady isn’t going to be around anymore.

Me too. I really like what the Bills did too. Allen could end up being the best qb in the group.

I was more surprised they passed on Chubb at #4 than barley at 1.... runningbacks are not nearly as valued in the nfl at qbs these days and they were able to pick the quarterback they wanted. They filled a positional need at 4 picking cornerback ward. They perhaps should have traded down but with 12 picks they were probably better off just making sure they filled their positional need at corner. It’s rally irritating that they now take 3 days to do the draft.

Looks like Vegas is the team to beat. Just a machine.

That's what we call "cost recovery". They pay the actual costs involved but the price is not designed to make the Bombers a profit.

**** them up I used to think Nashville's "It's all your fault!" was funny/cute, but they never changed it and then it became lame. Relying on cheap pre-game gimmicks to stir up interest, blocking out of town ticket sales? And Subban is such a ******, Myers should've wrecked him last game instead of letting him bail. I want Buff to set the tone in the first 5 minutes on absolutely anyone in his path

The money is going to a Jets charity. So, think of it like a donation.

Game day!

Another epic choke in DC. It's like the same movie over and over. The Sharks were absolutely annihilated last night.

No rookies?

7-0 for Las Vegas so far... how in the world are they doing this.

oh I thought this would have been free

I like Baker Mayfield. Hes got fire.. Hes a leader and a good QB.. Browns OL coach is Bob Wylie so they should be better. Id have taken Mayfield 1st overall also. Hes a stud. Hes gonna be a star if they let him develop properly and dont rush him.

Lets try to get the discussion here back on wrestling.

I see your point and it would help the draft picks transition to the pro's but thats way too much of a gamble for the CFL....the draft is already a crap shoot as it is.

Just want to thank all providing updates. I wish I could be there to watch, but stuck in Florida for another week and need to rely on your ?

Expected Wildcard... Didn't expect to be 2nd overall. We were a few OT wins away from being 1st overall.

Josh Green @greendogg12 Winnipeg Jets news...Kristian Vesalainen has just won a Finnish league title with Kärpät.

Yes I have, but not for a while. I just find Pizza Hut kind of crap.

I heard the Browns were going to use all their picks on quarterbacks.

My hate-read of the Toronto sports press tomorrow will not be as sweet as my hate-read back after they got eliminated in 2013, but it'll be plenty sweet. Thanks, Boston! Wonder if the Jets playoff coverage moves to CBC now? I ******* loathe the Leafs largely because of how the CBC forced them down our throats back in the bad old 2-channel days and so seeing the Jets play a non-Leafs team on the CBC will be extra sweet for me, I'm just petty that way.

so it sounds like we've recruited allstars at every position, awesome. Grey Cup here we come! God I love this time of year.

He missed the last 7 games so I'll say no.

The fact is that the OL was really good the last games of the year with the 3 Canadians inside. I'm not big Neufeld fan, but there wasn't any noticeable drop off. I ain't worried about the OL at all this year. It's been a focus of drafting and we have rock solid american tackles.

Comments are GOLD! Rick Why would a team like the Rider’s draft Knivel when they no he is going to the NFL That is some level of English achieved only after completing three years of Grade 5 in the Saskatchewan school system.

My wife has a great job with the Tom Baker Cancer Centre here in Calgary. I also work here. One of my 2 sons was born here. The other one is married & they live here My other son is getting married this summer & will be living in Seattle. Short 12 hour drive to the Emerald City or a bit over an hour by air.
