Blue Bombers have added #44 punter Keegan Andrews to the roster for tonight's game

From the Game Day HQ story, Ed Tait mentioned that he spotted Jackson Tachinski taking snaps on the sideline. He speculated that Tachinski could be the emergency 3rd string QB for tonight as there are only 2 QBs dressed.

I was trying to remember, does WFC print out a roster for us to have at the game?  My hazy memory of last year's PS games says "no"?

Be nice to know, so I can print out my own ahead of time.  But their glossy tabloid one is always much nicer.

I'm not going to have a clue who half the numbers are!

Usually no

What???  The Stamps are going to kick their butts sideways next Friday!  I thought O'Shea acknowledged they made mistakes in their pre-season planning last season resting vets, this looks worse!

I like to let the preseason play out before I speculate on reg season.  Don't want starters hurt and you want to evaluate talent.  That's what preseason is and always will be.

Tough 1st game but if OL is ready, run game can cook and Zach is slinging, ding ding game on.

I hope JY dials up a ton of blitzes in the first qtr and goes after Rourke, 1 decent hit and hes out of the game

The pressure they put on Sask. was amazing, play after play, I sure hope the effectiveness of the pass rush  registered with O'Shea and made a deep impression on Younger.

You beat me to it.  MOS said in a couple of pressers, most prominently in a Nov/Dec '25 one, that he blew it not using camp and PS to get the vets ready and gelled.  He spelled it out.  There is no doubt.

Now he's making the same mistake.  I'm with TLB.  This is nuts.  I don't see any other team not dressing their O starters!

Nope, it was just a few months ago MOS said it.

It's going to be sad when BC & SSK & CGY are winning every single game in weeks 1-5 and we're going 30% trying to ramp up.  I pray I am wrong.

I dunno...I think it's different each year.  MOS has said they'd be doing an injustice if they don't give the young guys a chance to show what they have before letting them go.  During PSG1 they mentioned that Broxton was here in camp during Covid, and we cut him. Hopefully by giving these guys a bit more time we don't make a similar mistake.

Not that it matters significantly but I only count 63 players on tonight's roster. That means about 24 not dressed for one reason or another.

There will be many released tomorrow with about 15 going to PR.

Allen didn't look good on that 1st drive if it was his responsibility.

Wiiliams made a good coverage tackle on the ST.

[Jesse]

Elgersma looks like he's taking the play in front of him though. Quite a quick correction from the rookie.

[markf]

Major Williams making a case for himself

[bunker]

Nice tackle by Williams

[bunker]

I hope they don't handicap Elgersma by running it into the middle of the line for 1-2 yards on every first down.

[bunker]

Kelly not doing himself any favours

[markf]

Is this lions starting o line?

Our d line is looking fearsome

[Jesse]

Castillo just ridiculous, lol

[Blue In BC]

Elgersma looking pretty good.

I think it was Williams that blew that coverage but it could have been Lamont too.
