He'll just appreciate someone catching his passes.

Hamilton has a really tough looking Dline and Thurman is a nice add at linebacker.

Not sure of their WR group outside White and Duke "Not a catch in the 2021 WF' Williams.

[Booch]

Ham offence doesnt really scare me.....Jury out on their defense for now...but I agree...that will be their strong point

[Jesse]

Can't wait for this game.

On paper, Hammy looks good. I don't think Bo can be what he was over the course of a full season, but the East is so bad, they will finish first if he can just be average most of the time. 

Anyone know who their RB is?

I personally really hate resting starters as much as we do, makes me a little worried about rust to start the season, especially against another veteran team. 

Really looking forward to seeing some practice reports from today. Hopefully DT can give us some live updates.

[Booch]

isnt it Butler from BC?

And now the 'Cats have Kongbo. That should make the game verry interesting to watch.

I expect the ham front to put up a great fight. Secondary not soo much. 

[Pepper_Brooks]

Let me tell you something, as a die-hard Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan, we've had the upper hand in the rivalry against those Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Time and time again, we've come out on top, leaving those T-Cats fans with nothing but disappointment. From memorable playoff victories to glorious Grey Cup triumphs, our Bombers have shown their true dominance. We've had our fair share of moments to celebrate, while Hamilton has been left wondering what went wrong. So, let the Tiger-Cats keep trying, but in the end, it's the Blue Bombers who reign supreme in this rivalry.

Day 1 for the Bombers ahead of Friday’s season opener: A lot of guys suited up early in practice: Jeffcoat, Bighill, Oliveira, Lawrence among them.

Very weird... why would BC pick him up, then trade him for a 4th round pick... we should've traded the pick for him, lol

Hoping our Oline has learnt from the Grey Cup, Toronto's D line ripped us apart

We likely can't afford the contract.

Might be an opportunity for a deadline deal tho....

[Stickem]

The leos would have taken a sack of jockstraps for Kongbo, just so it wasn't us who was picking him up

[K-Shack]

I'm at my very first practice (been wanting to go since the Canad Inns days). I'll update with what I see.

- In the early practice period, Brady O was in at RB and catching passes out of the backfield.

- Agudosi appears to be in at boundary WR, as expected.

- Grant is back and doing agility drills with the receivers 

 

Updates:

- Bighill is back out there with the first team D

- Schoen has made some great catches with the first team O

DT said he was suited up.

[Nolby]

Schoen? Went to a couple practices and he wasn't taking any reps.
