Let's ******* go!!!!

Jake Thomas was always good at coming in late in the game and taking advantage of OL that had already been beat up for awhile. He is and was a rotational piece, not meant to start and play the majority of snaps.

Sorry everyone for my grievous error, Kola did not win the job, he was gifted it. And it's his fault the Jets moved to Phoenix too

Kola didn't win the starting centre job until week one 2023

Aye, he did, he did

I was actually thinking this myself. Mitchell showed decently as a receiver in preseason.

Yeah I'm guessing he is still questionable to even play but they are leaving it to the last possible minute to decide.

Guess there was a lot of premature whining about Chris Smith not getting on the roster

https://x.com/Wpg_BlueBombers/status/1803797517173129642 Nichols OUT. Charbonneau, Mitchell, Chris-Ike OUT. Fayad and Smith IN. Oliveira on the roster but not listed as starter...

I don't think it's the new PFF. They are still doing their own thing. PFF actually had Tyrell Ford as one of their top ten players in week 2, the only Bomber that made their list. Right now on the active roster we have seven: WJ, Woods, Adams, Thomas, Schmek, Samson, and Hubert. That could obviously change by the time they put out the depth chart.

I think some of the issues can be chalked up to offseason rust as well. I don't think Collaros totally fell off a cliff and sucks now. They just should have played him in the damn preseason. But they didn't so now he's gotta get caught up, and I believe he will. Same goes for Neufeld, BA, and Bighill... I don't think any of them are totally done, but they needed time to get up to speed. I think this team is gonna get there eventually and end up competing for first in the division. But some questionable decisions are not making it any easier, I would agree with that. On the positive side of things I am encouraged by the look of some of our young talent that did make the team. Terrell Bonds, Devin Adams, Clercius, Lord Keric, these guys look pretty good. I think Tyrell Ford is gonna be a stud by the end of the season if we stick with him. And let's be serious, they are going to get the ball in Streveler's hands and he's going to do some awesome stuff. It's coming.

I see some issues with the team but I also see some reasons for optimism, I think the doom and gloom is overstated at this point. I think there were a lot of concerns going into the season and they have been exacerbated by the 0-2 start and MOS's typical response to it but I'd not be shocked if the Bombers win at home against BC this week and suddenly things look a lot rosier.

https://x.com/Wpg_BlueBombers/status/1803518610956050650 Nichols / Wilson / Oliveira all listed as Questionable for Friday. It was a closed practice but Wilson was Limited and Nichols/Oliveira didn't practice.

I suspect based on the answer that Mitchell will still be our returner in week 3 BUT that could change.

Mike: We liked Chris Smith, and then he got hurt. It's tough to get him on the roster, he may not be in game shape quite yet, but we'll see where that goes.

O'Shea waxes poetic about the days when a starter would play all four special teams as well. Reminds us of the great Chip Cox. Mike: It was my call to go 6 DL and it bit us in the butt a little bit. We had to move a guy off to get Biggie on so it was the right call but.. DT: Last year you brought only 6 DL 8 times. And you went 8-0 in those games! Barry's on the line. Actually it's Harry. He's a bomber fan, even when Mike played for the Toronto Argonauts. Harry: If Brady comes back from his knee injury the Bombers will be fine. Mike: Well thanks Harry but I think we'll be good no matter what.

I see his picks on the spreadsheet, WPG MTL BC HAM

Listening in on the coaches show. First caller is wondering if O'Shea is frustrated with all the injuries and throwing stuff against the wall in his office. O'Shea assures the caller that he is not throwing things against the wall in the office. DT asks if he would like to hit the reset button like in Madden. Mike has not played Madden before. Nor has he played Tecmo bowl. Only Coleco. Second caller. Judy likes Mike's shorts. That's it. Just likes the shorts. Now we've got Jeff on the line. Asking about departures of Dru Brown, Houston, and Janarion. And Collaros is getting a bit older, was that a tough choice? O'Shea says no, not a tough decision. Collaros is the best. Also we prefer players who stay even when we can't match other teams' offers.

Kinda sounds like: WJ-Thomas-Woods-Adams with Schmek and Fayad backing up. And maybe Samson.

If Murphy is in Schoen's place I'm assuming that Schoen is probably just a maintenance day
