Hold on amigo, with the shortage of Natl. talent on the O-line Neufeld shouldn't be disposed of until his backup is standing in front of him and even then it's not a great idea. Walters has moved Natl. talent before he was ready to do so before, so hopefully he's learned from those lessons.

Unlike Sask, we can't even identify who we want them to steal! Barker and Milanovich? Wally and Wally?

I sure hope they can start Bryant, Hardrick, Goose, Chungh and Bond, I don't want to see a raw rookie like Couture starting against the likes of Sewell and Willis.

Excuse me, but Wally "I don't need no stinkin' headset" Buono stands alone at center field.

I thought I read somewhere that Chungh did not practice today, so not sure they can count on him.

After last nights performance, he shall be known henceforth as "The Great Masoli" and Rod Black shall be anointed as the one to regale us of his exploits forevermore......or at least until our ears bleed dry.

Question is, did O'Shea make this decision on his own or were the rumours last week of Miller interfering true?

http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/07/24/matt-nichols-to-start-thursday-in-edmonton/ Ed Tait @EdTaitWFC The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will make a quarterback change this week as Matt Nichols steps behind centre in favour of Drew Willy. Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea will make the move official after practice on Sunday and in advance of this week’s game in Edmonton against the Grey Cup champion Eskimos. The Bombers are 1-4 to start the season and the change is part of an attempt to spark an offence that is struggling to find some consistency, having been kept to under 20 points in three of the five games. Nichols came off the bench with 8:53 remaining in the Bombers’ 33-18 loss to the Calgary Stampeders last Thursday, and promptly led the club to its only touchdown of the game with an 18-yard strike to Weston Dressler that was followed up with another completion to Dressler for a two-point convert. The 29-year-old Eastern Washington product finished the night nine of 15 for 88 yards with the one TD and no interceptions. Willy, meanwhile, was 23 of 33 for 234 yards with no touchdowns and one critical interception – returned 34 yards for a score by Joe Burnett – that prompted the in-game switch to Nichols. O’Shea said immediately after the Stamps’ game he wanted to consult with his offensive staff and watch film before making a decision on who would get the start. But he did say this about Willy’s pick six: “He tried to force that ball in there on that touchdown… he’s trying to make plays, right? He also had some good throws. He threw that one down the sideline to Darvin (Adams). He made some plays and then he had one where he wants to have it back because he’s trying to force the ball in there. “You can’t fault him for trying, though.” Nichols was acquired from the Eskimos last September for a seventh-round draft pick after Willy was injured in a loss in Hamilton and following the ineffective play of both Brian Brohm and Robert Marve. He was 2-5 as a starter in Winnipeg, while the Esks were 5-2 in games in which he started before the trade. He finished last year with 3,245 passing yards with 19 touchdowns against 17 interceptions. Thursday’s game will be his 20th in his career as a starter. Willy, meanwhile, has put up decent passing totals – albeit somewhat misleading. His 1,473 yards is among the CFL leaders, but a good chunk of his totals have come late in games and with the Bombers well behind on the scoreboard. He is now 12-21 as a starter. The Bombers are 11-18 in games in which he has started, but just 2-10 when he has not been available. More updates to follow late after practice on bluebombers.com.

Yep, I was waiting for that!

What a coincidence third on the list is Ray against Wpg.

Not as fun for the fans.

We need to set Willy on fire.

Nope, Wild still plays for the Bombers and they can't have him.

Wow Ti-Cats making a game of it.

They definitely have to give Franklin reps. when they can, sooner or later Reilly will be knocked out for a few games and it could be later in the season.

Wow, I hope the Bomber D-Backs are watching this performance, without some of the regulars returning it's going to be a gong-show.

Good chance to show-case Franklin in the second half for the Esks., Ti-Cats ain't coming back.

Mason ******* Mills, remember him??? Well don't bother!!!

Rod is just pandering to his huge American audience who hunger for strange tidbits of information on their friendly Canadian neighbours.

Buck needs to stop regaling Willy with his old war stories, Willy ends up lying sleepless at night muttering "please god, don't let that happen to me". Plus being newly married he's probably adjusting to sleeping on the couch a fair bit.

Bond is 354 lbs. of solid.

Yah bastards, I just wasted 10 minutes watching Mason Mills videos searching for a sliver of hope only to discover they were posted back in 2014!

That is the role Danny Mac was supposed to play, but you have to wonder if he's been paying attention to the changes in the game in the last 20 years or just relying on what worked for him in his day. His track record for QB's is not good.

Meanwhile in Ottawa... http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/football/cfl/redblacks-execs-prepare-for-nfl-tour Redblacks execs prepare for NFL tour REGINA — Like monarch butterflies to Mexico, Canadian Football League scouts will soon start their annual migration to National Football League training camps. They may be searching for immediate help to replace an injured starter or they may focus their attention on longer-term prospects for next season in the three-down league. Either way, they’re looking. That includes the Ottawa Redblacks, with general manager Marcel Desjardins, assistant GM Brock Sunderland and a handful of others scheduled to visit varying numbers of the 32 NFL camps scattered around the United States beginning in late July. “I think you are always looking because you never know what’s going to happen with your roster, whether it be guys that are free agents that may not come back. Maybe it’s injuries. Guys may not play to what they are (capable of),” Sunderland said in the lobby of a hotel where the Redblacks stayed before Friday night’s game against the host Saskatchewan Roughriders. “So you always want to have as much talent as you can at every position.”
