I'm going to go out on a small limb predicting players going to the PR, just based on the depth chart. In itself that predicts who I think makes the AR. Two of these might end up on the reserve instead of the PR.

Humour me. lol

1. Lamont
2. Williams.
3. Texada
4. Stuart
5. Dixon
6. Pace
7. Allen
8. Mazzocua
9. Elsbury
10. Reese
11. Andrews
12. Lidster
13. Randolph
14. Perkins

A rhetorical opinion. Worth about $0.04

I think Stuart ends up replacing Kelly. He can play safety, defensive halfback, SAM, WILL.

so exciting and thanks for the heads up about the depth chart so many LBs LOL love it

Sir Blue and Gold · May 22, 2026, 05:58:38 PM

Will be interesting to see. We're going to get a healthy dose of the Riders starters this week and I can't imagine we'll want to play the top of our chart for as long as them given that they're on pre season game two already, and at home.

Quote from: markf on May 22, 2026, 02:50:35 PMIs Bryce Perkins the only Bomber player that has a Super Bowl ring? Not this team, but any team?

Tyrone Williams, from Halifax, won two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys in 1992 and 1993. Luke Wilson from LaSalle, Ontario, and Jon Ryan from Regina, both won one Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014.

Thanks.

Agree - Stuart is a wildcard - stood out at camp, a national with a very high ceiling and a ton of defensive versatility plus ST value. Surprised if he doesn't land a spot on the AR. Tmo should offer some clues.

I think for that to happen an existing Natl. ST player would have to be cut. Take your pick. Being a lower round draft pick pretty sure he would happily accept a PR spot and wait his turn for an injury call up.

Looks like Perkins made the AR...

I think Texada might be the earlier favorite at CB. He's been touted a couple of times and I think this is his 2nd or 3rd camp for us? MOS likes persistence and tenacity.

Strange, but the name seems familiar from another team a few years back... but I'm assuming that's a different Texada?

Quote from: markf on May 22, 2026, 04:05:45 PMWhat the heck happened to Matthews..." and caught four passes for 109 yards and a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIX."

He was the star of that SB. They should have just chucked every ball to him. That was that SB where Seahawks lost near the end trying a pass (for the INT) instead of the guaranteed Lynch running TD from like the 2. I think that's known as one of the stupidest SB calls ever?

Matthews returned here a few years later and had the 1000-yard stare of complete disinterest so common to ex-NFLers who already struck it rich. I think we cut him and he did some PR for another team before retiring? Sad story. Such wasted talent. He should have stayed in the CFL the whole time and become the next Milt Stegall.

So, no, Matthews didn't have a SB ring.

Yeah, I had the same deja vu, but new Texada is only 24 so it's definitely not the guy we're thinking of from whenever.

Hard to get a read on what they're doing at CB since they cut McGhee. Burrell has been the guy taking the other side form Moxey and is listed as the started for the game tonight. We'll see how they do.
