Good idea if someone wants to do it. I just go to the YouTube channel directly when I want to watch. It's usually up there pretty fast.

Can we get a dedicated thread (stickied?) for someone (anyone?) to post all WFC-produced pressers?  (And maybe even the misc stuff like The Huddle, etc.)

I ask because I often see pressers posted in various threads that are not posted to the bluebombers site: not at the bottom and not in the videos links.  Sometimes they do show up, but 1-3 days later.  Sometimes never.  Often enough it's getting annoying.

I guess these are being posted elsewhere on social media, and it's nice people are posting to the threads here.  But when I'm reading threads I cannot always watch the vids, and when I go to watch them later I cannot find the thread that had the links... and since the bb site doesn't have them, I basically miss pressers completely.

For example, I could have sworn there were presser links on a thread between Aug 20 and Aug 25 (inclusive), like just a day or 2 ago, and yet on bb home page there are Aug 19 pressers and then it skips to Aug 26.  If there are 20-25th pressers, I have no way to see them.

Or... the person who adds the pressers to the home page and videos page can get off their duff and do it more timely and reliably!  Sometimes it seems like they're on holiday for a whole week.  I won't just rip on the WFC employees either, some team sites are even worse than ours for timely videos!  (CGY is just horrific, especially when they lose.)

Agreed, consistency has fallen off badly in the last year with poor roster info and random videos, used to visit the Bomber website daily for reliable information.  Now more likely to stumble upon their videos browsing YouTube and don't even bother with the roster they have posted.

Doesn't look like he will get a PR spot, per Farhan and a few NFL sources. GB passed on both him and clifford.

Naylor stated he doesn't think he'll sign with the bombers immediately.

My guess is he'll sign in the off season with us then battle it out with Wilson and Chase Artopoeus.

Both he and Walters are on "sitting duck" contracts. What happens after this year? A complete regime change over?

I believe they were last year too and just signed one year deals. I'm not worried about it.

Elgersma will stay south of the border for this season for sure, and maybe for a Streveler length of time.

The fact that Collaros is signed at a high price for next year reduces his likelyhood of coming north.  Unless Collaros calls it a career, I can't see him wanting to come here on an ELC to back up.

Rourke has set the bar for this situation.

If he gets cut from the PR and no other NFL team picks him up from year one onward, like Rourke the CFL becomes his best choice for playing pro football and any demands for a big pay contract or a starting job would fall on deaf ears.  I'm sure his agent would inform him of all this before any of it happened though, so not an issue.

They have waivers. Any team NFL team can claim him in the waiver period (24 hours) and he becomes their property, if no one does then Green Bay can put him on their PR.

Wasn't that long ago the CFL also had waivers and every team had the option of picking up any player deleted from the roster being moved to the PR.  I believe the waiver period was 24 hours as well, being the CFL the GM's had an un-written agreement not to mess with other team's players, but it still happened occasionally.

sounds like GB will be adding him to the PR if he clears waivers.
