I doubt it. I mean. I’m sure it will play a role but I don’t think dudes necessarily make teams based just on a pre season game or 2. I think coaches generally have a good idea going into game 2 who is and isn’t making it and I think the game either confirms their original thoughts or maybe makes them think a bit but in the end if dude sucks all week at practice but goes off game time well, that’s a decision isn’t it. Just seems from a fan perspective game 2 is more starters get the first half then its guys who will make the team playing with lots of guys who won’t and then finally in the 4th it’s those guys that prob stood out the most that you want another look at but by then your opponent is playing their cuts also. The RB last year was the pre season star. Cut weeks later now working for the man. We only have 3 QBs at camp really. Those are the 3. Order is irrelevant until Zach gets hurt.

Thing is when talking bomber receivers you need to bring up Milton cuz he is the true gold standard on and off the field. Kenny maybe more in the Arland Bruce III group tho. A tier below Milton. So who is in that group? Geroy? Not as a bomber. Robert Gordon? Possibly. I mean. I dunno. Schoen probably ranks higher than Kenny as Schoen was the man from game 2 or 3 on. Where would Kenny rank I wonder.

He's the league's best ever and it's not close... I don't even like discussing his name among other receivers because it makes no sense.

I don’t disagree about Ayers but in the bombers view it appears versatility and special teams play is important. Could be a stud LB tho so if I’m being serious about change it’s Kyrie or Tony who I’m sitting. 6 game Tony and give Ayers and Shay chances in the middle. Why not. Tony isn’t Bighill. What does JY value really. Extra DL? Extra LB. Or maybe guys who are tweener types who maybe aren’t the best at one thing but pretty good at something else like Ayers cuz dude is the sp teams demon, maybe that is more valued to the coaches than a guy who maybe isn’t the sp teams dynamo but for 3 or 4 snaps a game, I mean honestly outside of Dixon and Jenkins, nobody really stood out on the d line. Reese did but he’s prob the ideal pr guy. None of the extra DT did.

Pretty much is tho. Bombers didn’t want to pay him as much as Hamilton did. Here’s reality. The bombers could have offered 300,000 dollars per. Hamilton would offer 301,000. Lawler takes the 301. That’s the guy he is. He’s a great player for 1/3 of the season. He’s just not for the other 2/3rds. The spectacular catches don’t happen every game. But good for him. Wonder how much is guaranteed cuz almost 400 on a 34 yr old in 3 years might not age well.

I’m not a Habs fan at all but looked like they were the team to beat. Not anymore. Things change quickly. I don’t care who wins at all. Jets gone means no horse in race. Montreal was looking unstoppable. Like a team of destiny. Didn’t know MacKinnon was hurt and didn’t know Colorado is non playoff team bad without him.

No one can match the turtle man.

But that's not what happened

(Paraphrased) When asked which would be worse, finding out his wife was cheating on him, or coaching a 9 win NHL team. Tom McVie replied: The team...At least I could tell my wife to stop.

as per ratio...Its my understanding that 21 Canadians are required on game day....One of which is the nationalized American, so technically whatever American you use, be it WJ...T.White..or whever....doesn't actually have their spot count on roster as one of the 19 American spots ....correct?

agreed...assess the roster, put it to task in TC and pick the 12 best on each side within ratio....then evaluate of you have sufficient coverage for injury at a Canadian position, and or ability to fill with an American back-up/DA and again have capable Canadian back-up that can slide in elsewhere, and not degrading the on field product in game to a pityful level We have seemed to have gotten away from that and filled roster with guys not capable of developing or stepping in...and were to rigid in where we played Canadians and have kept status quo and let a better American go, and played a lesser Canadian where we could have Americanized the spot and upgraded substantially and played a Canadian at a different spot and prob seen minimal to no drop off....and that assbackward way we did things eroded our roster, and has affected how we draft and recruit, tho it seems to maybe have switched a bit this yr....maybe....have to see how the first 3rd of season plays out

In 6 seasons, he's only played 18 games once. He played 12/18 in Edmonton and 22/36 in his second stint here. He also had 5 games under 50 yards in those 12 he played with Edmonton. He lights the world on fire for 5-ish games in a year. Misses 1/3 of the games, and tends to be average in the remaining 1/3 ish. In Dalton's first 2 years here, he had 8 games under 50, only 1 was under 30, though, and only 1 was a single catch game. He still gave us the 5-ish games a season of pure dominance, but in the remaining nearly half a season, he was a strong, steady producer.

Kenny is a one of a kind talent...You can't question his ability BUT a few years ago the Esks paid him a bundle to toil for them...As I remember he didn't finish the season because of injury....That's always a worry for every player but every player isn't being paid 333,000 ducats plus to perform...I hope I haven't hexed Kenny ...really like the guy and hope he fills the bill for them BUT that's a lot of cash to tie up in one player...Good luck Lawler ...except when he's trying to carve- up our db's

Looks like your ride on the Habs bandwagon didn't last long. 😂

4th ranked? Weird. Best nine win team ever.

Jim Henson was not a billionaire. Also what does ghouls who donate to American politics have to do with anything? Usually genetics and general healthy lifestyles factor in longer lives. Billionaires also make a very small % of the total population so a comparison really isn't fair.

With all great respect to our Zach and Strev men, it’s a wrinkle we have been lacking for some time now. Would be fantastic to have it back.

In the same way that anyone could go line up at DE... just because they put him there doesn't mean he's any good at it. As a linebacker and special teamer he's good, to very good... but he's not a DE and that's a horrible justification for keeping him around. My opinion on building a roster: start with your best Canadians in starting positions and fill in everything else around them ensuring that you have sufficient depth at all positions to account for rotations and the event of in game injuries.

Remember when a qb getting a million dollar contract was scandalous? Jeepers that's a lot of money for a receiver. Dude is good no question but.... it's not like he's a Stegall or Simon type receiver.

Honestly, I think you could go either way and justify it with ease. At the end of the day, you are gonna overpay a couple of guys no matter what. Kenny is the type of player I would want to overpay for. That type of skill set is incredibly valuable in any league or level of football. Dominant WR who can go up and get most any ball in his rough direction? Is Poor Man Randy Moss? Want that kind of player. Now the person behind that is much harder. While I don't consider him a bad guy or toxic. But the lack of loyalty, the inability to stay healthy, and the lackadaisical approach he had to sorting out his passport issues are huge red flags. Especially after the team stood behind him with his DUI suspension. I love how he plays, but I would not trust him as a franchise cornerstone.

Not so far.

I actually prefer shorter QBs for short yardage. Tall lanky guys are more prone to getting a leg twisted, getting hit clean over the top etc. But I think either would do the job fine.

Kenny is an unreal talent and I loved watching him play. Consistent he ain't though. 2025 was is first season playing every game. Letting someone walk to become the highest paid non-QB in the league isn't the same thing as saying you don't want him on your team.

Kenny is easily a top 3 receiver in this league and i miss him, but i wouldnt pay him 333K X3.

Did anyone suggest Kenny was the best Bomber receiver ever? Not even close. What he would have been, by far, is the best receiver now.
