You guys are probably right about Rivers. I bought in because of the sack in the first game. True enough. Wilson though is a guy I’d really prefer they move on from or lessen his role, especially after what we saw from the new guys tonight. Like you were saying before he’s +30 and always hurt.

Rather see Thomas in from the start over Wilson and Kelly over Hallett honestly but I’d have to agree this is the most realistic for week 1.

1. The interior DL. Just what we all wanted to see. 2/3 Tre Thomas and Demetrius Ford making plays stood out the most in the front 7 and secondary respectively. HH- DT and DB. After listening to that shitty Sask feed last game I’m extra grateful for those two.

Right? Johnson, O. Wilson could be players with our actual offence. Impossible to tell with who they brought out tonight. I know they’re banking on what they saw seeing Zach throw to whoever in practice but it’s kind of frustrating to have an open spot at WR and not have the starting QB throw to any of them in a game situation for even a series.

Something cool from earlier in the game. Jake Kelly against the 1’s had a really nice breakup over the middle on Marken Michel.

Grainger has the arm but not sure if he’s got the brain.

Honestly, not to be a ****, he seems like a nice guy but yeah I have in fact seen more or less that multiple times.

The 2 guys pumped by Tait all off-season/camp (McGhee and Myron Mitchell) have sucked fwiw.

Smith at KR, Adams, Thomas, Rivers and American Ford are the new guys they’ve absolutely got to keep imo On the DL, I just hope someone’s willing to take a PR spot, some of these dudes could easily roster/start on other teams

What do you do with Garbutt now?

This ref being adverse to the word “penalty” is irrationally irritating to me DT is right, it’s not Fair to Fair.

Everything from the offence is a write-off. Makes me even more impressed with the D. Also, I’ll say it again, Calgary’s going to be dead last in the west, maybe the league.

I think Rosery’s earned a spot on the PR at least. Reminds me of Andre Durie

Tre Thomas looks like a good one too. They’re gonna have some really tough choices to make on D.

Hey Kevens, you walk outta here, you sleep on the third floor!

Adams ought to be starting week 1, this looks like the answer a lot of us wanted

I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Chris Smith can do, a number on here were happy he was signed. He seems like the returner candidate that could add the most value to the offence as a DI.

For real those are so bad. Looks like a monster energy drink or an original Xbox loading screen was the theme. Also companies should be fined big time for making football pants with no side stripes. I hope the Bombers don’t come out with crap like this, those hockey jersey alts were bad enough.

We’ll get the DL numbers we all wanted for this game, I’m excited to see what Fox and Adams can do.

Give me a new heel for my shoe

Grandpa Harris doesn’t have to come out of breaks though.

Yeah, the last guy they had like that was probably Lucky Whitehead. Grant was fast but more about lateral quickness, shiftiness and breaking tackles. I mean, Demski can be a deep threat for sure but no we haven’t really had that super speed demon wideout. A Lucky/Ryan Lankford type as the 5th receiver would be cool.

I think Calgary’s going to see another long year of the short game. I checked out their roaster and they really don’t have a lot of weapons. Their defence, meh, ok I guess…They have a 6”5 CB on the roster
