[Goalie]

Have we even attempted a pass over 5 yards with the 2 rookie QBs tho.

If Wilson is making his reads but is just off in his timing throwing the ball that'll be corrected. Looks a little better than Barriere

Yeah...timing not there but is way more poised 

[wbbfan]

Karamoko probably the best global on the roster now on d

Even by pre season standards 

Bonds and loa swing and miss 

[Blue28]

So boring

Barriere took the air out of the bombers sails. 

Have we made a first down since Streveler finished?

[Eternal optimist]

Can we start a petition to get rid of these Reliable Heating ads on CJOB they are awful

[wbbfan]

Can we sign pigrome to finish the game lol

[Booch]

Encouraged by first half...add a Kyrie..Nichols..Holm...BA to what we did with WJ..Lawson..FOx.. Garbutt...Haba..Cole..Moses..Ford...as our main 12/base defence...I'm not worried one bit to be honest ...the other corner up for grabs but even Thomas would not hurt us...

Offense really was never a concern to me...pieces are there..just a matter of how we use them...

[Super Duper Negatron]

Imagine being a receiver trying to make the team and we don't take a single deep shot.

yep. Idk about cover teams yet but roster will be much better for game 2. 
The front 6 is gonna be deadly. 

[Blue28]

Streveler was good

Barriere terrible

Jury is out on Wilson.

Yeah this is what I don’t get at all. The offensive play calls can’t be doing much for eval

[SpeedFlex27]

Let's look at it this way. I've watched the Bombers when young qbs like Barriere were projected to be our starter. And the OL was full of rookies like we're seeing. I expect we'll see a much different team next week. No need to worry. The Rider radio crew think they've won the Grey Cup.

Good prospects on D. No clue on O because the reanimated ghosts of Jason Boltus have been throwing into blue feet or green chests all game.

Basically the Bombers are terrible and look like they've given up. Hitting the panic button HARD. 

LOL.

 

Nah everything is fine but the new QBs are undercooked. Need much more time. It's a Collaros Strev Show this year.

I'm fully expecting us to lose, and lose badly. We're talking the Riders starters vs our tryout team. If we make it close it will be very embarassing for them.

I'm mainly interested in:

D-Line play - need a couple guys here to stand ouy

O-line play (if some of our projected starters are playing) - have to be able to protect the QB and we are down two starters from last year. 

Linebackers - Not much to say from Camp. Biggie isn't going to last forever. We need to start thinking transition plan.

Kick returners - will feel a lot better if we can find someone who can consistently catch the ball and get up the field

Quarterbacks - Who is going to step up if Collaros goes down? There's been some reports that Strev has not looked good in practice. We need him to be #2 not a short yardage/package QB in case there's an injury to Collaros.

D-Line play - Fox and Garbutt showing more than enough. Check

O-line play - when more of the starters were in they more than held their own. Check.

Linebackers - Moses jumping off the page. Check

Kick Returners - Chris Smith looks more than adequate. Cody Kase looked good too. Check

Quarterbacks - Strevy can run an offense. Would love for him to have made some more intermediate throws. Mostly check

If we put the right guys out there..I can see our front 7 being really strong...with better than adequate coverage with backups/depth...as long as said depth/backups aren't recipients of the reward system from previous yrs and block all that talent

Strevy good. Barry-eh real bad. Terry also bad but better.

front 6 was really good. Especially fox/lawson, rivers and garbutt, Moses plus gemmel petrishen and Ayer’s. schmekel too

It's hard to beat a team where every player in camp had been exceptional..as per rider radio...we stood no chance lol
