Eisho and Jarvis Jones released.

@Darren_Cameron: #Bombers one-game injured list this week: Banks, Suber, Swiston, Markett, Cotton, Alexander, Stevenson.

RB Davin Meggett signed to practice roster out of University of Maryland. 5'9", 229 lbs. Undrafted but spent time with the Texans, Colts, and the Washington football club.

No one is saying he'd start for us. But he could be some good depth allowing us to start 4 NIs on the OL. Our NI OL depth is weak now. I understand. Just pointing it out.

The thing about Hinse is that he couldn't beat out Justin Sorensen or Brian Ramsay for a job with the Esks....

Wow! I didn't see that one coming.

Definitely some interesting Canadian names in that list from Edmonton. Gregory Alexandre sticks out as someone we might be interested in. I don't know what ever happened to Gord Hinse. He was supposed to be their starting centre of the future but then it never really happened.

Some people just can't let it go. Mack is gone. The "Fire Joe Mack" campaign can end now.

True but they were able to trade Glenn and Hage and get some assets back in return. I never understood the James Lee pick, though, that was a weird one.

So if a guy we cut goes elsewhere, & plays much better than the guy we kept instead, it should be considered a bad thing for us? Thanks for clearing that up. How can it not be? Especially if the guy we keep isn't as good. You're welcome. Anytime. Yes he was being sarcastic, because your comment basically adds up to: "If the guy we cut ends up better than the guy we kept, then it was a mistake." Well no ****. That's how cuts work.

Matt Nichols deserves to be starting somewhere as well, IMO. It's just too bad injuries have limited him.

Yes. That's why it failed. The anti-WWE media. Not because everyone who heard about it thought it was totally ridiculous.

Ottawa's backup QBs are 0/7. Better hope Burris can stay healthy.

What a stupid name. I'm sure it will fail like all the others.

Of course, I've been proven wrong before. Henry making those guys look like allstars against Montreal right now.

Anyone but Judy.

I felt during the offseason that we placed too much emphasis on the little free agent camps we were having. Sure those are fine for DB's and receivers, but you can't learn much about linemen there, IMO. We cut guys like McAdoo and Griggs to make space for guys we found at these free agent camps without ever really seeing them against CFL competition.

Looks like he was the ST coordinator with the Thunder and just got named DC in February of this year... so I guess he didn't actually end up being their DC at all?

I'm not saying success or failure as a whole. I'm just saying as far as the class of rookie imports goes, it's pretty underwhelming. One thing I will say, this is the CFL - a lot of you tend to forget that. Sorry guys, I love the sport, and I love our game, and I love our league. But for the upteenth time, we are not a MAJOR league. We are not viewed that way. I won't call us a 'bush' league, not by a long shot, but we are not the answer to anyones prayers. My point? Mike, the best imports aren't here yet my friend. They're with Henoc, chasing their 'dreams' in the NFL. I think our import talent was fine. I also think come late August/September when the NFL cuts start you'll find more players coming that we can 'upgrade' with. That's just a CFL fact, not bias, not an 'opinion', but fact. Except all those guys who were cut in August the last 3 years are looking for work. It's not as concrete as you present it in terms of how and when guys come north. Besides, how often do we see guys actually step in in September and make an impact? Someone help me out here because I don't remember many.

HC- Mike O'Shea OC- Marcel Bellefeuille WR- Markus Howell RB- Buck Pierce OL- Bob Wylie OL- Paul Charbonneau QB- Gene Dahlquist DC- Gary Etcheverry DL- Mike Scheper LB- Cory McDiarmid DB- Nelson Martin DQC- Dave Jackson ST- Pat Tracey 13-man staff. Quite a turnaround from years past.

An edge rusher would have been nice too, to complement Vega. We settled on CFL average players in a couple spots, hopefully they continue auditioning guys throughout the season and aren't too loyal to guys like Peach and Kelly. I was going to say DE as well, but I personally don't mind Peach. I think he is very good when healthy.

Ottawa's starting receivers against Montreal tonight are Dobson Collins, Marcus Henry, Kierrie Johnson, Paris Jackson, and Matt Carter. Good luck with that group.

Ottawa's talent at receiver, regardless of nationality, is far and away the worst in the league

Realistically all this regime needed to find (in terms of rookie imports) was a running back and a receiver. They found an RB who is unfortunately injured right now but they pretty much whiffed on the receiver.

Zach Anderson as well.
