Thanks I hate them

Part of me does genuinely believe Bighill may be finished as a player. Nice little chunk of change to use towards the 2025 cap if he happens to not suit up this year.

Those guys and I think Devin Adams are the ones I’m most excited to see. Wondering if Sy Barnett shows anything as a late camp add who didn’t play game 1 also.

Part of me agrees with you but part of me says “sure, except these guys are all showing signs of slowing down, all one year older, shouldn’t we see if what we think they’ve got is what they’ve still got?”

The narrative hasn’t changed at all, you (and others) just continually fail to grasp what my frustration has been about. I want to see these players get an apples to apples evaluation and be in a legitimate competition for a spot that *can* be won. There are several indicators that suggest this is not happening. Reps are not all equal. At this point, all things we are able to see suggest there is a very real and open competition for the last receiver spot in our starting lineup. I do wholeheartedly believe that and I don’t see anything to suggest why I shouldn’t. With that said, we still have what, eight or nine contenders and none of them are going to get a final opportunity to show their stuff with a QB with any level of experience? As I said earlier, it’s kind of a pick your poison spot - either the decision has been made and we’re keeping a lot of these guys around as a waste of time or the decision hasn’t been made and it appears that we’re not putting ourselves in the best possible position to make it. Then on defence, what are we doing? Is the MLB spot actually open or has it been given to Gauthier? I addressed that one earlier and I stand by what I said there. The other one that irritates me is safety. “can’t make the club from the tub” used to mean something, but it apparently doesn’t to BA. I’m glad these guys are getting some opportunities, I’m just not convinced they’re the best opportunities possible.

That’s true, debate definitely doesn’t increase engagement

You’re right, I’m just going to close the site down

This is it to me, we can‘t just ride the middle like this. If you have 8-10 receivers still here fighting for spots, are you going to get a reasonably fair evaluation of them if they’re playing exclusively with brand new quarterbacks? And if you don’t need this evaluation to make your decision, why are so many of them still here then? It seems like the defensive side of the ball has a few more decisions that have been made but I still have more questions than ever with regards to what our D looks like week 1. The big question mark I have is at MLB … if Shayne Gauthier starts there week 1 and doesn’t have to do anything in the preseason to prove he’s earned it, I’d say we’ve officially jumped the shark. If Moses/Petrishen are genuinely competing for the role, okay great let’s go. If Kyrie is the answer at MLB while Bighill is out and they’re sliding a new guy over to play WIL, why isn’t Kyrie getting the reps?

It’s more the entire idea that nobody needs to play that bothers me. Our depth chart tomorrow is baffling.

I think this is sort of a naive take. If what you’re saying is true, why do they participate in camp at all? Save the reps for the young guys.

Ok we get this is how you feel, can you please stop contributing absolutely nothing other than this little snipe a hundred times over?

https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/05/29/48-hour-primer-preseason-2/ i honestly can’t imagine this being less informative … it feels like a real deliberate thing the Bombers are doing to provide as little information about camp as possible at this rate. If it’s on purpose for gamesmanship, ok I can respect it but it sure sucks as a fan ”here’s your primer for the final preseason game: Collaros will not play, Demski likes to practice and we’ve had some injuries in camp”

I was just looking at our roster and there are easily 5 or 6 names I have not heard mentioned once all training camp. anybody got any idea if Demetries Ford is a real person? Or Patrick Rogers? Or Larnel Coleman?

Rookie MLB Canadian safety sounds reasonable in theory but still scares the **** out of me

The decision making from our staff just continues to be baffling. We are on pace to finish training camp without our starting week 1 offence having ever worked together even once. I don’t know if it’s ignorance or arrogance or what, but it’s frustrating

We don’t need those guys we have Dylan Moses

If we’re living out our dreams, I’d prefer we just get the second coming of Mike Sellers into our starting lineup and run 4 receivers and 2 running backs.

That’s Demski I think we have to be realistic here. Would it be fun? Yeah. Is that necessarily the best thing for winning? I don’t really think it is.

Feels like any comeback would look like Bralon Addison. No explosiveness left.

If you think Edmonton needed 6 minutes of being on the clock and two commercials to make their pick, I got a bridge to sell you. The only time these teams use the clock is when there are calls being made to/from other teams. Otherwise, they could probably bang the draft out in two-three hours.

I don’t really think we need a playmaker out there. Block, find the soft spots in coverage, be sure handed and that’s all I really hope for. We’re talking about the fifth option in our offense at best here, right? Need those details more than I need a 1000 yard threat.

I think a combination of Myron Mitchell and Clercius dependent on what you need out there could be a productive use of that spot

Heaven forbid people actually discuss the team, right? There’s gonna be a guy like a Russell Dandy or Sy Barnett who get cut and make people wonder “were they even here?”

I can’t be the only one who sees his name on the cut list as the actual confirmation he even existed who the hell was Jaylen Hall

He had an ugly drop and a near fumble too
