It'll be nice to have Gatkouth in camp. Hopefully he can be a rotational piece.

Reps have to be earned. MOS will play a canuck over an American, we know that, so if he's playing an American while the NAT sits on the bench it's because that NAT ain't ready.

I know that they're not going to start but is it unrealistic to hope that Shay and Smith get 12-15 reps per game this year?

For sure next year!

No big dawg she was interested! Keep your head up!

Wait, so that means when that waitress said she possibly had interest in me, she was just trying to get me out of the place?

Probably the standard, you are not good enough but work hard, and keep your nose to the grindstone and we will see next year. Pretty sure that probably every player hears some version of this.

"possible interest for 2027" sounds like a way to get a guy out of your office without making a scene.

80% of those players were players we did not want back....even Janarion was a case of him feeling insulted by Walters not calling him. The other 20% were lost to the NFL or better offers in FA.

Come on, vibes were excellent. Everybody believes.

Literally nothing was said in the “day one wrapped” article.

Winnipeg-based clothing retailer Warehouse One is moving to liquidate all of its 128 stores, including Bootlegger.

Yeah...I agree...hence why i was asking if that came outta coaches mouth...or just Tait spin. We have a ton...or can have a ton of roster flexibility of we actually choose to do so...hopefully some slaps upside the head occurred post 2025 season ending and a light was smacked on yup like i said above....we have the opportunity to have crazy good roster flex....and when you have guys like MCI and Clercius...and now Daniels who have ability to actually do some real nice things offensively other than just glorified blocking...you gotta use them I thinking Condell may just see what kind of benefits MCI can have and may just actually utilize him

Maybe this is the year we go from 25 linebackers on the active roster to 25 O-Line to the active roster…

I think we're really built to use 4 American OL if that's the best option....and a "backup" American at receiver that can be out there most of the game if we want based on using the roster rules. Also ALL our OL depth is American. Like if Neufeld or Eli say "sorry I'm done" tomorrow or someone tears their bicep, all we have to go with are Americans. Ultimately not going to matter how many American receivers out there if the interior OL is getting driven back and not letting QB eyes get downfield. Not that it isn't always but I think the lesson learned the last couple years is the offense relies on controlling the line of scrimmage. We saw that slide a little bit and really struggled to find any consistency pass or run.

Sorry, I’ll post more. I can’t see us bringing SO many receivers to camp if we didn’t have an open American receiver spot but I guess it’s very possible we don’t actually run a lot of 5WR sets. Even for the sake of flexibility though, we should be running Bryant out as our 8th Canadian. Neuf, Wallace or Eli, Demski, Nield or Clercius, Brady and then two defenders between Lawson, Kramdi, Shay and Nuer.

100 percent. Nichols saved Walters and O’sheas jobs, and without him we don’t build a team and culture good enough to win a grey cup. No way we land guys like Jefferson or Bighill without Nichols. Just to reminder people how dyer it was. We were 1-4, not a single winning season since 2011, only one winning season since 2007.. we win 10 straight games, and really the rest is history.

Yeah I can’t see us going 7ol, mci, peterson, clercius and daniels. Just too many big blocking bodies. Plus Schmekel. Those other guys bring contribution to other areas, a 7th ol is just too much roster waste. If we start vanterpool or randolph at guard, and have wallace as the 6th, we have guys who can slide in at C or bump over to T and cover all spots in case of injury.

I'm all for starting 3 imports if that gives us our best lineup and then if Wallace becomes the 6th man even better as depth...but not at the expense of a import receiver when we dont have to. Starting an extra an unneeded Canadian just because is pointless and doesnt give us our best lineup. And sadly with Osh we know thats a distinct possibility. Same with I hope we dont waste a roster spot on a 7th oline guy as well with Daniels now here and other big bodies in MCI and Clercius...again that would be a wasted spot on a guy to not be used unless 2 olineman go down..and for most part teams deal with that with a convert off of defence. If Scmeckle is actually ready for season and we choose to dress an extra canadian dt...well there's his role...backup DT..emergency oline guy and interior knife on short yardage...

The difference is that the "old man" and me show up here everyday and contribute more than drive by belittling to this forum. Something you used to do as well Mike. It's ok to have heated exchanges on a discussion forum that stem from demonstrating differing opinions. Interjecting yourself into them as your only post content...well..it comes off as petty. I do agree with you on your only football content you mentioned. Go Bombers go!
