surprised that Bighill made it, heard he was on the bubble. Oh sorry just channeling my inner "The Source" there for a second.

Ross had a horrible first pre-season game and a good 2nd one. That's what I expect to continue happening for a while, even in game. Inexperienced QB's are almost always hot and cold. They'll do something great then something stupid. They'll make a great read, then a bad one. They'll run for a big gain, then take too long in the pocket and get sacked. They'll deliver on time on target then late or off target. We simply have to expect the good with the bad. It comes with the territory.

BigBlue has a higher thread count then my bed sheets.

You have to wonder what more a guy like Montgomery has to do to make the team.

This post is simply idiotic.

In my view, Walters' strengths have been as follows: 1. International OL: in previous years, you wondered why they bothered burning an import spot 2. Effective Young Canadians: Chungh, Goossen, Loffler, Demski 3. High impact FA acquisitions: Harris, Bowman, Dressler, Medlock, Bryant

You know when Denmark was a rookie it was other guys who grabbed the attention in camp yet Denmark remained and did damned well. Sometimes it's not about the few big plays it is the consistency.

Not including Nichols, Leggett, and Wild, this leaves us with 50 players. 26 International, 24 National. They will have to shuffle a few onto the injured lists. But here is my take on the depth chart:

Streveler's running ability has to be part of this offense regardless of who is starting. That's a huge weapon and we have backfield weapons that can make that very hard to defend with an option package. I'd love to see him and Harris and Augustine and Demski and Flanders running over Konar and Sherritt all night.

1, remember pre injury when willy was throwing us back into games and leading us from behind to wins? 2 far too soon to call ross any one or any thing. 3 far too soon to compare him to some one who is primarily remember for playing with shell shock.

If the bombers win a grey cup with players brought into the league by other teams... it doesn't count... don't you know that??... it's also a rule that only applies to the bombers...

I’m far more interested in building a competitive roster. There are far more considerations in building a roster taking into account what scouting has provided, the timing and availability of said players, and what else is already available in free agency. Does it really matter that we can brag that Walters found “Joe left tackle” or that we scooped up an all-star like Bryant? Say what you will, but this roster we have now looks to be one of the best in the last decade, home grown or not. That’s really all we should care about.

god you start a lot of useless threads.

i think he was cut before his 2nd bonus in feb. I think he got one already in jan. Lots of rider fans were upset that if he wasn't part of the plans going forward why not release him prior to the first bonus paid out

Too many fans under appreciate what Nichols did or forget how bad we were before he got here at the qb position. Maybe when he gets back people will stop saying he isn't elite as I think he is. I think he's up there with Mike Reilly & Bo Levi Mitchell.

Would your source be Dennis himself? 😂

Rider fans are great. In order to defend Jones " yeah, well its too bad about Bagg, but, you know, we all saw his dropoff in play..." Except no one said they noticed that and if they mentioned it, especially another fan, they would be shouted down.

Lankford. What can you say? He’s doing all he can do to fit somewhere, anywhere on the Bomber’s roster, including studying all the positions in Lapo’s offence so he can fill a role. And he’s producing - top receiver in Friday’s game. And I certainly wasn’t impressed with any returner in that game. I really don’t care for all the reasons NOT to like Lankford, you have to admire his grit and thinking to recognize he can have a role to play, and, apparently he had a very good camp. As lomg as he produces, he can catch with his helmet for all I care, welcome back to the club. Nobody beat you out..

I'm surprised Morgan made the team over Branning & Conteh.

Medlock was already considering retirement this season. So if he's truely close to retirement lets let FMB punt and have him learn each day in practice from Medlock so he can take over all 3 duties when Medlock retires.

I feel like we could have done better with the 1st overall pick last year...

Collaros concussed and they wont admit it yet ? Lot of money sitting on the bench otherwise

oh man why do people ever sign a deal with Jones when he treats guys the same year after year.

Yeah cutting Bond is a case of Jones having no clue how to build a roster when there is a ratio to deal with.

His pass protection literally changed the course of the Bombers franchise in 2016.

From what the 10 or less regular season reps and 3 quarters of pre season or less? Still too soon. Willy wasnt indecisive. He was check down happy. Behind a porous OL you almost never have a chance to be indecisive. Which again, ross was dealing with as well in the last pre season game behind our team 3 OL. Bennett chucked up one of the worst deep balls in history and got bailed out by a wr. Bot of them also played against BCs team 2 and lower.

I say we should have kept Rueben Randle and axed Lankford. That move shoulda been a given considering Randle did way more with the ball thrown his way than the dud RL.

The thing I like about Walters is that he is open to all avenues for improving the roster.

LOL. Kavis being Kavis.

Ross has shown the ability to make reads and distribute the ball much better to run a full offense. Strevler is much more raw but has ridiculous speed and confidence. Starter will be Ross but Strevler will get some snaps imo

It's likely QB by committee until Nichols returns. And yeah I agree, Ross should have a very short leash and get demoted quick because I really am much more if a believer in Bennett or Streveler. I know Ross had a higher completion percentage than Bennett and Streveler that last preseason game, but I think he lacks their mental toughness. Streveler went from a 100℅ completion rate against Edmonton to a 33℅, but that TD pass he threw there in a game that was otherwise going all bad for us at least showed me he's a fighter who won't quit when things are down.

Anthony Parker cut by Stamps. I thought he was a good player.

From 3downnation http://3downnation.com/2018/06/09/breaking-bombers-final-cuts/ ANyone else really excited to see Biggies' Name where Hurl's was just last year? Man... that looks like a SOLID ******* roster... I am PUMPED!!

They don't vanish into thin air. There's lots of good football players looking for work all the time.

I'm surprised at how many import DB's they kept on the PR and that both Conteh and Branning aren't on there. White dropped his way off the roster, but still surprised they didn't keep him or Coney as a backup shifty possession guy. After years of not having the bigger bodied receiver that's all we have at import other than Dressler (I don't view Lankford as a legitimate option to play receiver for us). I hope the Canadians, especially Petermann, get a huge chance to take on a significant role. Lankford can't reliably return punts, so he's on the roster for kickoffs again. Waste of a spot. Sucks about Ekakatie. Still wish Walters would have traded down. That 2017 draft sucks something awful, could have traded down pretty far and maybe added a pick or two down the road and still come away with a similar quality player. The best CFL players picked in that draft so far were picked in the third and fifth rounds.

The problem is Lankford doesn’t produce. It just gets annoying when some guys get endless chances while some hardly get a shot.

I can just see Chris Jones, sitting hatless, dressed in black, with telephone in hand, in a spitting frenzy, because he now can fill his roster with other team’s National deletions. His master plan is coming together..

I would hope Montolgomery gets added..or stuffed on the 1 game injured

The following players have been placed on the practice roster: International linebacker Kyrie Wilson International receiver Corey Washington International defensive back Marcus Sayles International defensive back Robert Priester International defensive back Tyneil Cooper National receiver Tylor Henry National offensive lineman Cody Speller National fullback John Rush

Wow. The 2018 CFL cuts tracker Winnipeg Blue Bombers International defensive lineman Daniel Awoleke International quarterback Zack Mahoney International defensive back Chris Humes National receiver Brendon Thera-Plamondon National defensive back Kahlen Branning National defensive back Abu Conteh International receiver AJ Coney International offensive lineman Dillon DeBoer International linebacker Jevaris Jones National offensive lineman Ben Koczwara National offensive lineman Matthew Ouellet De Carlo National receiver Tyrone Pierre Internatonal receiver Rueben Randle National linebacker Jacob Firlotte International receiver Myles White National defensive tackle Faith Ekakitie International offensive lineman Na’Ty Rodgers International defensive lineman Chris Casher International defensive back Jordan Thomas International defensive lineman Sam Montgomery International receiver Donteea Dye International defensive back Mohammed Seisay International running back Jahad Thomas International defensive back Brian Walker International linebacker Quentin Gause National receiver Brendan Naujoks National defensive lineman Hayden Nellis National defensive back Andrew Ricard

Not really. Long way to go, long time to gel. There may be tweaks here and there but I’m not the type to panic on June 9.

Apparently Jones in Regina has already announced that Bridge will be the starter in the first game. Way to boost Collaros' confidence, Jonesie.

I think you mean Henoc there big shoots. Better go salt some more fries.

Riders just cut Bond...

No way!!!! How incompetent can one GM/HC/DC be!

I’m assuming this comes down to salary cap issues....

Protect the ball, make smart passes, rely on Andrew Harris. That's all you can really ask of the young guys.

Stash him on the1 gm all year. He'll probably be our kicker next season.

Disappointed they cut Walker but maybe he will stick around on the P.R. where he should have spent last season.

Travis bond was released...
