Completely agree with Brown. Lemon would do well here. I'm assuming he got some kind of signing bonus from bc...but maybe not considering how they cut him.
Don't get me wrong, I liked what I saw from Murphy. But I'm not sure he makes the team. Simply based on #'s. We don't NEED a other NI wr, or another WR in general. Maaaaybe PR. But nothing outside of that.
BOLO started on the PR in 2021 before being activated when Demski got hurt so I don't see why Murphy would be any different. Stick him on the PR for now, let him develop a bit and have him ready in case someone goes down.

Its a novelty. It remains to be seen if this is sustainable- the previous basketball teams here have not lasted.
The popularity of basketball across Canada has never been higher so if there's a time for it to succeed here, it's now.

Im actually interested in what some of these guys are bringing to the table: Brian Cole, DeJuan Cooper, Ricky Walker, Bolo, Richmond, Holm, Parker.
All guys that are in their "step up" year imo. BOLO has already looked really good and am excited to see what he brings this year.
Yep, we may not have many starting roles up for grabs this year but there are still some key battles/progressions to watch. So happy football season is finally back!

Excited to be able to actually watch football.
I’m sure they have their plans and I know it’s only exhibition, but that LB corps..yikes.No Leggs at all? Weird. I guess he’s locked in as the starting punter though.
I'm actually looking forward to watching them. Wade & Cole (from the limited reports) have had good camps so I want to see what they do in a game, even if it is only pre-season.
**Edit, I was thinking Matt Cole (DB) not Brian Cole (LB).

It’ll all depend on if the starting ol goes. But last year iirc he played in both games. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes some reps in this game. So long as the starting ol is travelling.
Collaros did not play in either pre-season game last year, it was entirely Brown & Prukop.

You see, anyone here who has another viewpoint other than leftist progressives are labelled racists & haters. Maybe if the mods actually moderated this thread there'd be less of this garbage.
My point was that you seem to have an absurd amount of anger/hate for many things and that is not limited to politics, or having a different point of view. I could have posted the same thing in a football thread and it would be just as valid.

No Legs or Sergio for the first pre-season game so they are giving the rookies a shot to see what they can do.
I have zero expectations that Stanton sticks now that we have Sergio but I am interested in seeing the punters this weekend.

Stop that!! You will upset Speedflex who has a good hate-on going.
Don't worry, he won't run out of things to hate.

He's still in Edmonton. They had announced that neither he or Cornelius would be playing in the first preseason game.

My brother is an alumni of WCU and still lives near Cullowhee where the school is located at. Tends to go to a couple games a season there. Hope Kerwin can turn that program around as they perennially underperform.
At the very least, they should have some epic touchdown celebrations. 😂

It’s crazy to me scouts would rather take a chance on him, rather than Schoen who was the absolute best receiver in the CFL as a rookie. Makes no sense.
I've completely given up trying to figure out what the NFL wants when it comes to signing CFL/XFL/USFL players. Guys who deserve a chance, don't get one while guys who have done relatively little get picked up. I feel bad for the players who have earned it but at the same time, the NFL's loss is our gain.

Was in training camp last year.
He signed with Edmonton late last year as well before moving on to the XFL where he actually got some meaningful playing time.

bombers cut Tavaris Harrison and signed wr amare jones. Bit surprised Harrison is gone with out at least another pre season game after sticking all last year. Jones is a former dual threat qb all purpose offensive gimmick/kr guy.

Harrison is banged up according to Tait and hadn't practiced in a couple days. Might not be the last we see of him.

Which caused me to ask the question, had anyone heard that?
Because DT is the the first I remember mentioning it.
He first mentioned Jeffcoat not practicing on Wednesday. It was just termed a day off at the time though so maybe nothing to worry about? Hard not to though, given his injury history.

Thanks for that. Hopefully some guys are just easing in and being preventative with injury.
How has Bennett looked? Any of the back up pass rushers looking good? How has Eli looked shape wise? Is he getting full second team reps or sitting more?Was watching him on Monday and he looked pretty good, similar to what he looked like in 2021. He's 20 pounds lighter than he was as a rookie and 35 less than his college weight, according to 3DN.

neither Bighill or Wilson has practiced. Who is playing LB?
According to Tait's latest quick hits article, Wade is having a good camp at LB. There's a little bit on him in there
"LB Barrington Wade continues to open eyes during camp, especially with his speed, his length and his quick study of the Canadian game."

Gold - Canada

I'm not sure anybody had that pegged as the outcome for the Worlds (Canada aside). Great showing by both the German & Latvian teams.
