I'd take Rhymes..Brooks and Philpot over 2 of our guys that are starting

The West has been a blood bath for receivers so far it seems. I think BC has been relatively healthy though. Riders have lost of bunch. What Calgary trots out tonight will probably look worse than the Bombers do tomorrow. Elks are... the Elks.

So you're just shifting all the blame onto the gm... where will you shift it if the changes improve things? Because all these guys being moved about are already in house. What will it take for you to admit that the coaches are part of the problem in talent identification and use? It's ok, Mike oshea is rightly going to be remembered as an absolute ******* legend as a bomber coach and first ballot bomber hall of gamer and probably a statue at some point... but we can still point out his problems in the meantime.

@Rich I would like to switch to Ottawa as well.

There is a minimum PR salary...but teams can pay guys whatever they want above and beyond that....and we have before, so unsure what he is getting...possibly?....If I was him tho I'd decline and refuse to agree to be "injured" so they either roster him....or have to release him, as I sure he wants to play...he's be scooped up in short order and probably in a lineup just as fast....

Yep not a great look at all. Our GM needs to get to work. That's fair. I just don't see the talent we are leaving off the field, or at least not enough of it to make a difference and change us into a Grey Cup team. We are nowhere near that right now no matter who we dress and where. That's on the GM and I agree is being made worse by the coaches. My argument that dissing coaches when we are winning is not right and I stand by that. When it starts creating losses you damn skippy I want better coaching and GMing. The only metric I judge a Coach or GM on is wins and losses because everyone has their formula that we may not understand to get the wins. However, when losses pile up because of your methods, you need to answer that bell. Right now I think Walters is our biggest problem, but if Miller came down from on high and decided to clean house tomorrow I'm OK with that as long as it rebounds our season.

Check down RB or receiver - 6 of one, half a dozen of the other Anyway, here are their numbers for passing and running attempts. (Wikipedia) Harris (2016-2021): 1194 / 5 = 239 / season Oliviera (2021 - 2024): 922 / 4 = 231 / season Their busiest seasons are actually quite similar. Harris: 2017: 294 2019: 295 Oliviera: 2023: 298 2024: 296

Sad fact of the day, we have scored 20 points or less in 4 out of 6 games and 4 out of the last 5.

Someone needs to answer publicly for that, I think there needs to be an explanation given as to why we sunk 160k (lots upfront) into a receiver that we aren’t even considering using

I'm going to have faith that Oliviera finally gets a score .

I like some of the changes. Bridges out is good. Parker should theoretically play better on the corner than at Safety. If J. Jones is on, don’t see the need for both Ayers and Wilson. Could have used Cam Allen or Mitchell. Even Bailey would have made more sense. Corcoran = 2025 Allan Boyko.

That is actually exactly how Hall ran Ds for most of his career as a DC, and did many times here. Match-zone gives enough cushion to allow pass attempts. The adjustment JY made mid-last year was dropping a DL for an extra DB in a package. But that's not new by any means. Harris wasn't used a lot as a receiver; he caught a bunch of passes as a check-down RB. Which we also do with Brady. Brady had 1200 receiving yards in 2022-2024. In 2023, Bradie's heaviest year for caries, he had a total of 298 touches; the following year, he had 296. In Andrews' highest catch year, he had 294, and the next year, 297. Brady had 57 catches last year. Harris got more throws on block and release than Brady, but that is again on the upswing. They both got similar touches, and Brady has had more carries than Harris has at any point in his career.

Does Mitchell get his full salary now that he's on the PR?

When Lapo posted all that stuff, breaking down the Bombers' D last season, that is not how Hall ran his D. Harris was also used a lot as a receiver, especially when Nichols was under centre.

But people said before even seeing it shake out that Bridges was gonna be a bad choice... no hindsight required. What makes you think people can't make similar judgements at other positions? And that's exactly what coaches and gms get paid to do. So why do ours resist making these obvious changes? 1/3rd of the season to make changes people here said should happen on day 1... not a great look.

and if we force a ton of work to Demski...and he gets hurt....we are royally screwed....heck...we screwed I think as it is so if any of the "starters" goes down....we effed.....and now...what If Lofton gets re-injured?...my oh my....

with 7 canadians on offence...why even have a Canadian on field for defense every snap?...

I agree. The defense looks a little better - but the offense really is a sad affair. No receivers that scare anyone and an OL that is poor at best. I doubt Streveler will scare anyone with his passing other that our coach.

The other aspect, and it seems contrary to where the rest of the league (at least US teams) are going, is this is a very “trade friendly” contract. Might not want to hear this but as we get even more haves and have nots on this league, Chevy may want to restock somewhat as our main guys age out.

we have 18 lb/db's rostered...thats over 2/3rds of the gane day roster...thats insane and bizzare

Hamilton vs LoElks... gimme Lawler all day, everyday against that secondary.

I'd much rather Cam Allen on given the D we play with all the DB's. Why do you need Wilson, Jones x2, Ayers (yeah special teams) when the majority of snaps for the D you have one true LB on the field, 2 if they are in 30 front which they've used less since Person has been on? Cam Allen 6'1 200 pounds. Play him at dime, play him at boundary corner where Bonds is getting absolutely exposed week after week, play him as a 2 high safety, push Parker down into SAM sometimes. I bet Argos pick on Bonds and Parker in this game.
