Will attend Mondays practice to see which players are back and who is lining up where.

Great. That will be helpful as the roster shuffles around some paperwork issues. The biggest question will be health of some starters and how that impacts decisions.

The Zipp

at least we play stamps once before orimalade returns.  with him and hutchings that is going to be a tough defence to play

MOS has been coach for how long now?

I think we can reasonably expect that he's going to give guys as much rest as possible at this point.
My wife is amazing!

Looks like Orimolade and Hutchings will be playing Friday, together with Hicks its probably the best dline in the cfl...big test for our revamped oline to start the season

wow. didn't think orimolade was ready. 

that is a formidable d line. interesting to see if we can get BO going

protect ZC at all costs

Sir Blue and Gold

The first couple regular season games are going to be a bit sloppy regardless. Might delay roster moves until tomorrow also but not totally sure when it's required. There's usually a bunch of factors.

I hear what you're saying, but I also remember our offense was dreadful to start the season off. I am hoping we have execution and timing down, but I doubt we do given the new bodies on offense. guess we'll see wont we

Odd. Calgary was listed lower than the Bombers on the early season projections but are still listed as expected to win on Friday.

Time for us to stand up and smack them in the face. Bombers by 10.

Week 1 is always a crap shoot as offenses haven't had time to get in their groove and defenses have new faces trying to figure out the system they play. all 3 games are coin tosses

Have to be concerned about how well a new O-line is going to be able to protect Zach from the best D-line in the CFL. Pre-season is over Zach better save those bombs for another day and make like Trevor Harris getting rid of the ball quickly before trouble arrives.
