M.O.A.B.

For sure, no way they can keep all 4. If they put Antolin on the PR, Walters should scoop him up. Though they can always hide him in the 6-game IR.

From this list, I'll probably be interested in OL Wheaton, OL Dunn. I always thought Dunn is a better prospect than Penser. I'll add DL Miller on that list. Looks like Maher makes the Ottawa team. Good for him. Is James Lee a National or International?

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. Greg Carr. He's about the only one I can think of. I don't mind Greg Carr.

Here's my fearless forecast... If Etch D stumble out of the gates... O'shea part ways with Etch mid-season... ...promote Tracey from ST Coordinator to Def Coordinator ...promote Dave Jackson to ST Coordinator ...or O'shea handles ST himself.

QB... WILLY, Brohm, Marve OL... JANUARY, GREAVES, MORLEY, NEUFELD, KNAPP, Goossen REC.. KELLY, MOORE, WATSON, DENMARK, KOHLERT, Feoli-Gudino, Carter, Woods RB... GRIGSBY, Volny, Pontbriand, Fitzgerald DL... VEGA, TURNER, THOMAS, PEACH, Anderson, Richardson LB... BANKS, KUALE, DUNN, Sherman, Wild, Stephan, Cornell DB... RANDLE, WASHINGTON, LEGGETT, SUBER, ALEXANDER, Markett, Bucknor, Jones ST... Hajrullahu, Renaud I can also see us field Everettt as Backup OL/DL in place of an Nat'l LB or CB. Bucknor can also start ahead of Alexander. Knapp can be RG and Neufeld at RT. Not a bad line-up actually, and only 2 - Willy and Leggett - rookie starter in the mix. The soft spot I can see is the LB and RB units. What about bolton instead of grigsby, unamba instead of dunn. Bolton might be early to start, what he just practice 1 day? How well does he knows the playbook? I picked Dunn based on the fact that he is the starter on that spot for 2 pre-season game.

I literally don't think you could handpick a more mediocre group. How is Miles doing with Ottawa? Should we be interested to get him back if he is cut loose?

Most experienced yes. But maybe the coaching staff doesn't give too much weight on his experience as a 1-8 starting QB.

46-44. Wrong.

I actually think Saskatchewan has way more question marks than BC. They lost a huge chunk of their offence in Sheets and Dressler, and I'm not exactly sold on a guy like Taj Smith to be the go-to guy for Durant. BC won games with Thomas Demarco, I think they can win some with Kevin Glenn. Calgary 13-5 BC 12-6 Sask 10-8 Edm 5-13 Wpg 5-13 (hoping Edmonton wins the tiebreaker) Toronto 13-5 Hamilton 11-7 Montreal 8-10 Ottawa 4-14 JBR got the correct no of games win/loss.

Same here.

Same here. Wrong no of games Win/Loss.

Your West games is not balanced. West total wins/loss should be 45-45. East is 36-36. You're not perfect Mr. Perfect.

Well, I am not talking about our players that came into the league via a different team... not talking about the free-agent CFL vets (Nat'l or Int'l) we signed... and certainly not about the Nat'l players we drafted.... I am talking about the Int'l players scouted and recruited by the current scouting department. With all the bravado that we hear and read from the media (like the one we read from FreeP this morning)... showing up this kind of list is surely underwhelming.

I kinda agree with Mike. After the 3-days of mini-camp and 18 gruelling days of training camps and probably several tryouts... this is all the Bombers produced so far? Offense: OL Howard RB Cotton * RB Grigsby RB Bolton WR Kemp Defense: DL Fraser DB Leggett * DB B.Johnson DB Unamba DB Dumas It's underwhelming indeed.

Maybe we are reserving a spot or two for guys we can pickup from other teams cuts.

You only need 1 Nat'l backup OL on gameday roster. If an injury happens, just go back to 2-3 Int'l/Nat'l OL the next game.

he dropped a ton of passes in game 1, receivers who can't catch tend not to be worth much. I am a bit disappointed in cutting Hall now, I think that was a move that could have waited until you make damned sure you're other backups are for real but whatever I know why they did it... I just don't have to like it. Guy makes one mistake compared to the other and he's out that's a risky way of running your team. I don't mind it. Allows the young guys to rise to the occasion and get more reps in practice. Shows confidence the brass has in our young quarterbacks. Retaining Hall and losing either Brohm or Marve in the process is not good. Plus how do you keep Hall if he's not #2?

Not Bombers related... did anyone one knows what's the deal with Lefevour in Hammy? Looks like he didnt play their last pre-season game. Is he on the bubble?

Urrutia owns a IFL? UFL team. So he surely wont settle for $500/wk.

I liked his response to whoever the clown was that kept persisting on the "what keeps you up at night?" question. That guy was pretty douchey. That's Wiecek

He could still end up on the PR or maybe he has attitude problem who knows.

Dont lose hope. He could still end up on the PR.
