Say they traded for a player who is already in Canada (and already completed the required quarantine from their team's province), do this player need to do the quarantine again in Regina?

Make sense to minimize injuries.

As I understand, the Bombers athletic department had given the players routine workouts for the past few months and they (and the coaches) are monitoring each player. Also, Neufeld mentioned that some of the players are collaborating and monitoring/timing each other. But yup, hoping we don't suffer any injuries.

I watched it numerous time, but I still get sweat in my eyes every time I watch Road To The Grey Cup video in Bombers website. BTW, per Tait they will release the TC roster chart tomorrow, so we might see some Bombers transactions in CFL.ca this afternoon.

My guess - KR/PR Grant, DE/LB/S Antigha (swissknife), DT (Sayles maybe), extra Rec/KR (Nelson maybe)

Sorry no bonus for those XFL trumpeters on TSN

Last time I checked, Walters and O'Shea led the boys to win a Grey Cup. I'm very much confident they know what they're doing. Think you're better than 'em, give them some slack Doubter TBurg.

Looking forward on this thread being locked finally. Until maybe a YFL or ZFL comes and knocking on the CFL doors again.

Specifically Naylor.

You got me confused @Mike at one post you said: "I don’t so much see it as a vet vs rookie issue, but as an age issue and a talent issue with all of the newcomers coming in." where you mentioned the names of our 3 starters in DL - "Jeffcoat, Willie, Jake" and at your last post: "Talk about age all you want, to be returning 8 of 9 starters on the OL/DL is huge and it’s unmatched league wide." 🤔 but I really agree on this "Lastly, we still have a culture that lends itself well to being able to respond well to adversity. We already know the buy-in is there with our roster, these new guys should be able to take advantage of a locker room that is going to be solid enough that our new players should fit right in" The O'Shea factor is really is the X-factor. Players especially the vets have that much respect with him that they won't come in not fit and not ready for the season.

Just like what O'Shea said on the locker room after winning the Grey Cup: "Kids, folks close your ears.... F*** Them!" 😁

Im guessing one those having the same jersey# will be put to suspended list.

Bombers roster page is now updated with jersey #s. FWIW, there are some with identical #s: 17 - WR Blake Jackson, DB Mazzi Wilkins 20 - RB Brady Oliveira, DB Jamalcolm Liggins 22 - RB Kyle Borsa, DB Ranthony Texada 25 - RB Joshua Caldwell, DB Prince Robinson 57 - OL Tyler Johnson, LB Tanner Cadwallader 84 - WR Malcolm Lewis, WR ArDarius Stewart 91 - DL Connor Griffith, DL Andree Saint-Amour no number yet - WR Mekale McKay, LB Moe Mason

there’s a lot of odds going against the CFL rookies/new comers: - no pre-season games - learning curve to adjust to pro/CFL game - coaches desire to field a vet-heavy roster because of a shortened season I understand that the vets havent played for 600 days but we can say the same for most of these rookies/new comers too. And by all accounts, the coaches and the athletic staff are monitoring these vets for the past few months.

I think some of these guys will end up in Riders 100-man taxi squad.

without the benefit of pre-season games, its a totally waste to bring in tcfs. barring any injuries, there’s only one starting position left to fill which is the field-side CB. the new guys need to be solid for them to at least be considered for a spot on the PR.

Bombers signings per CFL.ca transaction page. DB David Rivers (Youngstown State) DB Hakeem Bailey (West Virginia) LB Khaylan Kearse-Thomas (Arizona State)

X FACTOR: CB Mike Jones Lost in the work of so many of the Bombers stars in the ’19 Grey Cup playoffs was the emergence of Jones at the cornerback spot opposite Rose. He didn’t make his first start until the regular-season finale, but improved with every snap in the playoffs, capped by his sensational work in the Grey Cup – four tackles, three pass knockdowns and an interception. https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/06/30/positional-preview-defensive-backs-5/ I think he is projected to take the boundary corner.

He did play some @ Safety position too, though that was on Chris Jones Defense.
