Legs needs to figure out the Medlock method for consistency.  So easy to get the Yips as a kicker....and then you are screwed.  How many did Lirim miss for us in that one game a few years ago?

Bombers kicker Lirim Hajrullahu apologizes to fans for Saturday's game | CBC News

Lirim  should have attempted them from the roof of IG Field. When he made that video of trick kicks just for fun, I knew nothing good would come of it if he missed when they counted on the field. His kicking fail that game was about as epic as it could get. I think he even shanked a punt that game as well. He's never made another trick video since. Hard lesson learned for Lirim. As a kicker, do your talking on the field which he now does. I think as bad as that day was for Lirim, it ultimately made him a better player mentally. He is now helluva kicker who doesn't need to do trick kick videos. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

It was a league wide thing that TSN did. It’s not like he one day woke up and said I am making a video.

It may have been but sometimes these promo ideas aren't very good.

Not the point. You have slagged Liram for making the video like he was showboating for personal glory and “running his mouth”  with a vanity video of his own design, and then got richly deserved comeuppance with his struggles. Doing the video was not his idea, and it was done to promote the league, not him personally.

So at this point I'm guessing we're just waiting on O'Shea to personally call all the players that didn't make the cut before they are unveiled?

That and also figuring out who are willing to be in the practice roster.

I'm eagerly waiting to see how the Bombers roster shakes out. But honestly, I can not wait to see what the argos do. They've brought in MORE players today....

[M.O.A.B.]

I'm waiting to see vets that will be among cuts across the CFL today.

And watch SK. & Ottawa vacuum them up.

Can we keep at least 20 WR somehow? That is my burning question.

Would suggest that we do all of the other team’s cuts on the 2021 season page and not here just so we aren’t scrambling around on multiple pages.

My "unhappy" level is at 25 receivers personally...at 20 I'm still "meh"....

19. 19 is a prime number. Let 19 stand alone

If that means anything...it wasn't supposed to...

I think meredith on the PR is mostly based on his health and maybe needing a bit more practice time. Other wise not many surprises. 

James tyrell (ni), kelvin mcknight and ardarius stewart make the wr core. Im sure we will see agudosi and meredith at some point. 

Antigua and rocquemore both on the roster as imp lbers is interesting, I think some thing will give there. 

Casey sayles makes the roster, and im sure we will see rose and his speed at dt at some point. 

12 dbs, 9 of which are imp im sure will see some movement there too. Probably going to be a couple guys on the IR to start.

No big surprises

[BBlink]

Still 53 players on the main roster. So we won't know much until 1st practice

No, I think the surprises will be based on who is healthy to start out. Im betting we have guys on the pr/taxi who will be on the gameday roster. Theyre just giving a little extra time for vets to heal or make the decision and maybe protecting a couple vets from poachers aka the argos.

Yeah there could still be a lot of moves depending on Andrew Harris, Darvin Adams, Charles Nelson, etc etc etc

Quite a few guys not practicing at the end of TC

[Bubba Zanetti]

Interesting. Bauming tweeted "DBs Deatrick Nichols and DeAundre Alford look to be potential Week 1 starters".  That means one of them would be starting over Josh Johnson.
