Rich Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Long off season is over and we finally get to see some Blue Bomber football tonight. Game time is 7:30PM and the weather looks to be clearing up by then, partly cloudy and 18 C. Chat room is open for those who want to enjoy the game with a group of virtual friends. Here are the depth charts: Tracker, HardCoreBlue, kelownabomberfan and 1 other 2 2
M.O.A.B. Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Hope no injuries on both sides... this is just pre-season games. johnzo 1
Mike Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 I really hope we go back to a normal depth chart in the regular season, this sheet they have now is gross SPuDS, Atomic, Rich and 1 other 1 3
iHeart Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 also note the game will NOT be televised because, TSN chose Manziel (at least that's what I think) Colin Unger, SPuDS and Tracker 1 2

HardCoreBlue Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while with the Jets. No Flanders?

voodoochylde Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 To be clear, this is Bauming's take on the depth chart. Passing it along for those interested. blue_gold_84 1

Atomic Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 13 minutes ago, Floyd said: Is Gendron-Dumouchel not in camp? No they never signed him. I read somewhere that he is going back to school and the team plans to sign him next year. But I can't find it now. Would be nice to have him here... 6'9" 310 pounds. Big man. SPuDS 1
northof60 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Curious to see how our backup QB's look, and our canadian receivers! Happy Football is back! SPuDS, Tracker and Jimmy Pop 3
voodoochylde Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 The one thing I'm hoping is that some of these receivers / DBs / LBs actually get a fair shake to show what they have and really hope this team isn't married to any particular player because they are a vet (or a free agent signing). rebusrankin 1

All teams knew prior to the draft, that his intent was to go back to school. From Kyle Walters: He’s going to go back to Montreal for his last year because he wants to finish his degree. It’s more like a futures pick. Edited June 1, 2018 by bigg jay Inserted Walter's quote Atomic 1
Pandagator Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 I'm at work this evening. Can someone give qtr by qtr analysis and thoughts to the game?
TrueBlue4ever Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 5 burning questions: 1. Nichols is the undisputed key to all of our success and Grey Cup hopes this year, and has largely been healthy during his tenure. But Darian Durant's retirement has left a big hole in our depth. Who (if anyone) steps up to give us confidence that we have a capable back-up that can carry us if needed after all of these years of poor QB development? 2. Has Adam Bighill single-handedly transformed last year's at times porous defence into a championship caliber squad, or will he suffer from NFL malaise and overhype? Can one player make that big a difference? 3. With the offensive weapons we acquired on top of last year's assets, which high profile incumbent, new signing, or prized draft pick does not make the cut? 4. With all of the free agent signings, little time has been spent talking about the losses, and of those losses, the quietest and yet possibly biggest loss (figuratively and certainly based on actual size) was Travis Bond on the o-line. He was the "nasty" that transformed that whole line into one of the league's best. Who replaces him, and how does the whole line suffer without his presence? 5. Injuries: Leggett and LaFrance have not hit the field yet, just how bad are their injuries, and do they survive past other cuts if they are looking like long-term injuries?
Booch Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Chungh...Goosen and Hardrick provide a good dose of nasty..Chungh probably was/is the nastiest even when Bond was here...pretty sure O-line is a non issue here And dependent when Spooner ever gets game reps..He probably will be the nastiness of the bunch...he plays with a real edge to him

Nichols is the undisputed key to all of our success and Grey Cup hopes this year, and has largely been healthy during his tenure. Got an angry text from Noeller yesterday as he was driving through Saskatchewan listening to the local radio there and I believe the direct quote that got him worked up was "Nichols, nice guy but I wouldn't want him running my offense" So there we have it, Nichols has fooled us all, he's really just a shitty qb and we aren't going anywhere with that bum. Maybe we can pry Bridge out of Saskatchewan so we at least have a chance. rebusrankin, shadybob and bearpants 2 1
rebusrankin Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Nichols is 21-9 the past two seasons as a starter. Meanwhile Chris Jones is 15-21 in the same time. I think somebody should tell Riderfans and their media. Tracker 1
