No, but you will be playing, what were everybody else's backups..

Well then. Richie Hall reaches out to YOU two and YOU two alone.. https://www.bluebombers.com/2017/06/21/richie-hall-discusses-open-lb-position/

I think it's rather forward-thinking on the part of Chevaldayoff. Must have taken a few hours of creative doodling to come up with a multitude of scenarios....and come out with the players you want to keep.

The Green and White Movement starts tomorrow night from Montreal. #RiderPride #CFLKickoff ?‍?movement can mean so many things…

TOMORROW - Durant Durant...hungry like a wolf

Saskatchewan at Montreal ?‍?Anxious to see the game between the Riders and Montreal on Thursday. Not for the obvious reasons but to see Duron Carter and his highly touted blocking skills. It seems like only yesterday when we first saw the signs of his blossoming skill. He took out HC Rick Campbell with barely a touch. Imagine what he could do if he imagined the enemy was Rakeem Kato. And, oh, I do want to see Durant dismantle Chris Jones ego.. AND “We’re going there to win. We’re going there to set the bar for the season. We’re going there to show not only Winnipeg but everyone around the league what kind of defence we are, what kind of team we are, the way we get after the football, the way we move the football. -Zach Minter Saskatchewan’s linebacking corps will start one veteran (Henoc Muamba, in the middle) and two CFL rookies (Erick Dargan on the weak side and Sam Williams on the strong side) ?‍?Montreal’s offence vs. Sask. defence…Montreal wins

I knew there was some nut involvement somewhere...

Useless conversation? No, I don't agree, in that I learned a few thing already..

Good news for the Briere crowd. He is going back to school to finish his degree, and he remains our property. As per MOS.

Moe's a go..practising again. YES,

Game Day notes - Saskatchewan at Montreal Only four clubs - BC, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto - appear to be starting the same QB in Week #1 in 2017 as they did in 2016 (Jennings, Mitchell, Reilly & Ray) The average CFL player enters 2017 at 27.4 years of age and carries 2.9 years, and 38 career games with 23 starts The average CFL veteran Quarterback carries much more experience at 29 years of age, 71 games played and 5.0 seasons Calgary has by far the most veterans returning with 51 on their roster and just nine first-year players. - Ottawa has the roster with the fewest first-year players with just seven out of their 51 in total. - Saskatchewan's roster has only 29 players returning from 2016 with 14 free agent from other clubs and 12 first-year players. - The Argonauts are in the same 'boat' with only 28 of their own back alongside 31 new players (free agents and rookies). Winnipeg's growth is starting to show as they have 35 of their own vets back and just 16 new players (7 F/A's, 9 first-year). Among the 18 players selected in the first two rounds in 2017, 14 of those players (78%) made it onto CFL rosters. The West returned to dominate the inter-divisional play winning 28 of 39 games (one was tied), the most by one Division over the other in a 9-team CFL since 1993 (29 wins out of 40 games that year) Game Stats have added the following new "stats" and/or reports (with some definition): 1) QB Pressure Defined: "Credited to a defender who either forces the QB to move off his initial drop back point to avoid contact, contacts the QB in the act of throwing, or has the QB in his grasp at the time an Intentional Grounding penalty is called" Reporting: Compiled by defensive player and for QBs in terms of the number of times pressured. 2) Dropped passes Treatment: Entered as a note into each play-by-play and for those plays where the drop is clear and uncontested. Reporting: Compiled for QBs in terms of the number of passes dropped; Receiver reporting to be primarily internal 3) Individual 2nd Down Conversion Defence Defined: Defensive plays made that result in a failed opponent 2nd down conversion via: Tackles, QB Sacks, Pass knockdowns, Forced fumbles, Interception or fumble recovery. Reporting: Compiled for all defensive players and league leaders reported the same as other defensive statistics. 4) Play-by-play entries and other reporting Reporting: Printed play-by-plays will be much more explicit showing for example split yardage (Total, YAC portion) along with receiver depth for all pass attempts including incompletions. Play-by-plays will also include more "tags", notations for special plays such as Fake kicks, Challenges, Two-point converts and more. We have created an immediate post-game summary of key data that has in the past been unavailable until the following week. This will include much more in-depth breakdowns of many key pieces of game data.

I better put a stop to this right away. You know what they say about a slippery slope..

It's been a long time that we can maneuver our roster because of talent, not in spite of it.

?‍?Interesting that BC is going with a rotation of 8 on their defensive line.. CFL News - .@GM_Brillo going with 8 defensive lineman. Unheard of for #CFL. Most teams go with 6. - @FarhanLaljiTSN #BCLions via @TSN_Sports Jovon Johnson returns to the Roughriders 2,407 days after his 2007 Grey Cup ring was sold online for $15,307. #CFL #Riders - The Riders signed FA DB Jovon Johnson (#17) on Monday, a recent cut of the Alouettes. Johnson said he'll be getting some time with the offensive coaches this week and telling them everything he knows about the Montreal players and offense. Herb Zurkowsky - Dominique Tovell, not Anthony Sarao, is practicing at MLB for #AlsMTL (Sario was ‘the reason’ Bear a Woods was released) Drew Edwards The release of four American offensive tackles by Hamilton, means that at least for now there are no reserves behind Xavier Fulton and Jordan Swindle, who won the job at right tackle. Expect the team to bring in at least one guy, either from other teams or a neg list player. Alouettes - The Alouettes added national defensive lineman Don Oramasionwu (Manitoba) to the roster. #AlsMTL Rod Pedersen - Chris Jones also referred to Vince Young as "retired", two days after the club released the 34-year old quarterback. Jones said Young is back in Texas rehabbing his torn hamstring but if he's interested in rejoining the Roughriders, Jones said the team would be open to that. ?‍?I don't know who's going to throw the longest pass in this week's games, but I do know who’s already threw the longest bomb…Matt Dunigan! 10 wins for Saskatchewan? OK… Drew Edwards - A defensive lineman during his four years at the University of Toronto, Williams was converted to an offensive lineman when he joined the Ticats before the 2015 season. Williams in one of four players the Ticats have converted from offensive to defensive line since Kent Austin took over as head of football operations before the 2013 season. Mathieu Girard, who played D-line at the University of Montreal, made six starts at centre for Hamilton last season before retiring unexpectedly in March to pursue other career interests. This year, the team has targeted draft pick Kay Okafor, who made the move late in training camp, and Mathieu Dupuis, who was signed to a practice roster deal on Monday - http://3downnation.com/2017/06/20/ticats-look-converts-build-offensive-line/ CFL News - #Argos anoint @CodyFajardo17 backup to QB Ricky Ray thestar.com/sports/argos/2… via @torontostar #CFL via @CurtisGRush

Don't worry it's all successful! ?

..........One of these things just doesn't belong here..

?‍?I find it odd that K Stafford gets PR'd so quickly...by Edmonton "If he does (Ray has outstanding year), we are going to have an outstanding season” - #Argos GM Jim Popp #CFL via @koshtorontosun ?‍?Goes without saying Jim… Collaros mostly has been sharp when he has been in uniform, but injuries have kept him from playing in all 18 games in each season in Hamilton, as he made 13 starts in 2014, 12 in 2015 and 10 in 2016. - Terry Koshan, Toronto Sun ?‍?Rec.Tori Gurley - cut by the RedBlacks ?‍?Brett Blaszko - BC Lions 3rd round pick 23rd overall - cut ?‍?defensive lineman Ben D’Aguilar - Hello Bombers..any interest here? Jones up to his chicanery again? Suspending 3 draft picks? Suspended: National offensive lineman Emmanuel Adusei National linebacker Alexandre Chevrier National wide receiver Mitchell Picton ?‍?Do the Bombers get to keep Thera-Plamondon? Back to school? ?‍?Slightly annoyed to see Gary Lawless’s tweets - but see no CFL News.. ?‍?Ottawa releases International defensive lineman Adrian Hubbard ?‍?No notable MLBs released on anybody's lists - not that I'm looking… ?‍? Edmonton released International defensive lineman Ikponmwosa Igbinsoun…solely because his name is unpronounceable…. ?‍?Latest CFL roster moves - http://on.cfl.ca/QQ8C30cG6Lh Drew Edwards - what the Ticats might look like after cuts…https://goo.gl/fb/zTyhgx “We’re very comfortable with our depth at receiver, both with our veteran and some of the newcomers we brought in,” GM Kyle Walters Herb Zurkowsky - For anyone wondering, #Als have no interest at this time in either Drew Willy or Mitchell Gale, I've been told. WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made a bunch of number changes in advance of the regular season. Check out the new numbers below: Receiver L’Damian Washington – #5 Defensive lineman Cory Johnson – #67 Linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox – #45 Linebacker Roc Carmichael – #4 Defensive back Brandon Alexander – #21 Defensive back Abu Conteh – #26 Receiver Derek Yachison – #87 Defensive back Brian Walker – #22 Kicker Felix Menard-Briere – #17 Linebacker Frank Renaud – #40 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

D'Aguilar was drafted in the second round, 13th overall by the Stampeders and signed with the team on May 21, 2013. Feb 1st - CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have re-signed national defensive lineman and special-teamer Ben D’Aguilar, the team announced. The four-year veteran had been eligible to become a free agent on Feb. 14.

The giant marketing scam has officially been released by Regina just in time to obliterate coverage of a very poor looking pre-season team. Any guesses?

Kenny Stanford to Edmonton's PR... I must say, I didn't expect Edmonton to be the team scrounging players on the final day for TC cuts...
