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

Walters and Osh have burner accounts on here obviously
Heaven forbid people actually discuss the team, right?

These camps are way too big. Have a goddamn rookie camp and then have an actual camp where you build your team from 65-70 guys to play in the season.
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 think Garbutt is a more complete player than Haba so I'm hoping that he starts opposite WJ.
I agree with this completely, I also feel like Haba is the type of player who is better off being used more sparingly. Guy could feast off coming in to rotate on a tired OL. Not so sure you’d want that type of raw player in as much against the run (yet, he’s still young as hell)

It's definitely possible. I just don't think that's the way it's ultimately going to play out.
Totally agree with this... I think we start the season:
Jefferson-Fox-Woods-Haba, with Thomas, Schmekel, and Garbutt/Rivers forming a 7 man rotation.
I think it will be something along those lines as well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Garbutt beats out Haba

I know Saskatchewan has a few receivers they’re pretty high on and they usually seem to be able to churn out some decent D-linemen but I honestly haven’t heard much in the way of hype coming from that fanbase

Swapping arms: Bombers release QB Eric Barriere, sign Georgia State pivot Darren Grainger
I for one was disappointed. It was not just game performance that got Eric cut... tc was his try out and
we definitely need succession planning for the most important position on the field… Streveler is a unique niche player but not the future of the team in two or three years
Thank you for this scoop

Blake, Godber and Ferland are past their "best before" dates. After Labour Day, they will have slowed down considerably, not to being more mention injury-liable.
Lol what? Godber is 29 and Ferland is 27.

Crazy when you think Bombers will have to make 35-40 cuts at once.
I’m really hoping there’s like 12-15 before the game Friday
9 minutes ago, Tracker said:I do not see Chris Ike mentioned anywhere above, Its probably asking too much, but so far he looks like he could be another Oliviera.
I don’t see that at all, to be honest. I don’t think the Bombers do either. MCI is a utility player, they’re hoping he fills a role like a Kalinic.
His most productive college season was significantly less productive than Oliveira‘s least productive, his career YPC is not good and he caught exactly one pass in college. I think anyone who thinks he’s here to be a running back is fooling themselves.

I thought Rivers looked good in the game.
I was whelmed but I’m sure there’s something they’re seeing in practice. I liked Rivers as a signing to begin with, so if he’s coming on strong that’s great

both divisions are wide open this year, imo. Especially the east.

D’Abreu over Rivers is an interesting one but I’m glad they’re making decisions.

We all said the same thing last season and then Walters proved it can be done.
If they’re going to be shedding salary for 2025, there’s a lot of other older players who will be gone before our 2 star receivers in their 20s lol
Kenny will be 30 by Week 4 this week, fwiw

I can’t see Lawler and Schoen ever leaving now. The one year deal with Schoen was to try and sign them both together next year. Schoen gets a slight bump, Lawler takes a haircut and it all works out the same

Lawler is taking a pay cut even if he puts up 2000 yards this year
that window for 300k receivers is closed

Somebody on the Riders forum suggested extending exhibition games to 5 or 6 Q's, I think this would be a reasonable way to give new players extra playing time without adding travel costs or much extra expense. Add another intermission after 60 minutes and play again for an extra 30 minutes. No single player needs to play more than 30 mins. so it should be manageable from a personnel perspective. As for the fans in attendance as long as they realize it's a casual affair they can come and go as they wish.
I don’t know the medical science behind why this may or may not have some injury risk issues tied to it, but if it doesn’t, it seems like a really good idea

People Legitimately hate the guy. Having him practice & sending a big FU to safety of women in the workplace, the uncovering of prior sexual harrassment charges, being thrown out of a bar & threatening bouncers by saying he'll come back with a gun along with other transgressions as a QB in Tennessee & then in the NFL at Denver I think his career is over. If he comes back & the Argos send another FU to the league by playiing him, can you imagine the reaction??? Even Argo fans would be angry as well. He's done like a burnt piece of toast.
I think you’re overestimating how much people care. Inside the front office, in the stands, whatever. Tyreek Hill is a serial wife/child abuser, nobody cares. Adrian Peterson beat his kid, nobody cared. Hell, let’s just call it what it is locally - Kenny Lawler likes to mix his alcohol with his car keys and nobody here cares. The ability to produce trumps all in sports.

Still think it's kind of crazy how we're using the entire camp as basically an extended rookie camp.
I think these late entry guys just coming out of NFL mini camp almost have to have a leg up to make the team given how short the evaluation will be. Kind of like Haba last year.
But why not cut a bunch of guys? How can you truly evaluate anyone when you're giving 5 groups reps?
Yeah, it’s honestly quite frustrating. The established guys apparently don’t need reps. The new guys all lumped into a massive group not getting enough reps. Nowhere near enough information on anyone.

There is no explanation for Rutledge being demoted, he played well on the field, so it must have been something that happened off the field in the realm of FIFO.
I don’t know, I seem to remember there were comments being made about how the grind of the longer season was an adjustment for him. That being said, you don’t get demoted for PEDs or drunk driving in Bomberland so I hate to think what he could’ve done.

Also just to add on to what I was saying before in my reply to you @Jesse
Are we really going to claim there’s been a competition for some of these roster spots when it comes to the guys on the back end of their careers? Have BA or Biggie even participated in training camp in the past two years? Even Jeffcoat … you could probably count the amount of times he practiced last year on two hands but at least he was effective

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.
