    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."

    My guess is WPG hosting that "football week" thing they did before the pandemic. Happen right before the draft I think...I can't remember what it was called.

    CFL Week and Bauming already said no to that.

    One tweet I saw was guessing a Docu-Series.  The Argos & Ticats already had something similar (Rivalries: The QEW Series) so I'd be interested in more of that, especially if the next one focused on the Bombers.

    Ed Tait is sitting on the inside, he could be doing a better job of providing relevant TC information instead of pumping out "feel good" stories and one a day interviews with the same handful of players he's familiar with, year after year.  Time for some new blood and a new attitude in their press dept.

    Unless that's exactly what the club wants him to be doing.  It's not like he's a beat reporter who was assigned to cover the club anymore -those days are over for him.

    All CFL teams were required to trim their rosters to 75 players plus non-counters by late Tuesday night.

    Just speculation on my part but adding him to the suspended list would be one way to get under the roster limit and lets the club use his spot to look at someone else.  Just a paper move, IMO, since he's here with the club and just not practicing.

    That's fair. However this specific topic "grant being suspended". How do you right anything about it if you can't get any information? 

    @blue_gold_84 roll your eyes all you want. But how is the lack of info about Grant not about the way MOS typically handles these things?

    It's not a 100% guarantee they wouldn't get any info.  Like the media was told about the QB they released so he could go home to take care of some personal stuff but was expected back.   Grant was just placed on the suspended list today so we'll see if they give any info or not.

    Als do have a better OL than the Riders - so the Faj might make a few more plays

    The irony in all this: Harris had a not to bad season last year, and both he and the Als would be better off, if he had stayed

    If the ownership situation had been settled by then, I'd bet a lot of players (like Eugene Lewis) would have stuck around.

    The issue is that OSH gets a pass on the site, yet there was bellyaching about the lack of news from reporters, who are shut out by O’Shea’s cone of silence just the same. 

     While there is some merit to that, the lack of reporting isn't entirely due to not getting anything from MOS.   You can see the media guys actively ignore practice and then have nothing to write about so they aren't doing themselves any favours.

    New Qb Pigrome is at practice. He wasn't here Sunday or Monday.

    Briggs is practicing after just watching the first couple of days.

    O'Leary Orange, Rosery, Tyrell, and Oliveira aren't taking part of practice today.

    He was released earlier this week but it was reported he just had to go home to take care of something and was expected back.  Lots of paper moves this time of year, hopefully Grant is one of those too.

    Day 3 of Bombers camp: looks like Brady Oliveira has the day off. Bighill, Grant, Thomas and O’Leary-Orange as well.
     
     
    Looked like another good round from the kickers. Side view, but it looked like only two misses: Castillo from 50 and Liegghio from 54
     
     
    Evan Holm got some reps at halfback with the 1st D during team period. Believe that’s the first time we’ve seen that in camp

    I caught the last little bit of camp yesterday and noticed him not participating in the drills.  He was wearing a jersey (unlike the other guys who were sitting out) but he didn't have a helmet with him so I had been wondering if he got banged up.

    REDBLACKS release LB Patrick Levels - CFL.ca

    Seems like a surprising move. He's a beast. Would love to see him in Blue and Gold.

    He'd have to prove his intelligence has increased over the past 18 months for me to want him here! 😂

    I looked at the standings ,  I guess those factor in the other types of scores.   Either way   CGY did not struggle on offense which was the main point.  

    The main point is that whoever said that Calgary had a struggling offense outside of Carey was clearly incorrect.  

    They scored 7 touchdowns off fumble recoveries and pick sixes alone, so that's where the big difference is (we only had 2).

    While I myself wouldn't say they struggled outside of Carey, they certainly didn't light it up through the air either.  They finished with 144 points from passing plays (tied with Montreal for 4th place).  That left them a whopping 120 points behind Winnipeg's 264 in that category.
