Case had just over 1100 yards in 4 years at South Dakota and then had no receptions his year at Illinois. Must be amazing in practice.

Dillon Mitchel, must have something up, As DT mentioned we tried him at slot and it didn't work and we have never gone back. It has to be something. Case is going into year two, this should be a golden opportunity for him, a chance many never get. I really hope he makes the most of it, do I have some reservations....yes, but let's hope he gives us some production, honestly Schoen hasn't exactly been lighting up the stat sheets himself.....My biggest concern is Zach now going to get hyper focused on Demski again.....

Its a home Grey Cup year and it feels like MOS and KW are fine with the status quo despite the cracks we all can see (ZC on the decline, Dline not generating a lot of pressure, Lack of top end WR talent, Lack of Canadian depth). Making it worse, with the exception of Edmonton, every team in the West is at worst solid and I'd say two, BC and Calgary appear on the upswing, while we seem to be going the other way.

I think he fits in the locker room, but he does for sure have real character flaws. Stupid amounts of money. But damned if he isn’t earning it. first off, thanks for the snap break down, some great info there. now rant on lol, If you sign a guy like that you should have a good understanding and expectation of if you can coach him up and how much you can do. It’d be really egregious to bring him in at that bonus, thinking he can only play one wr spot. Where you have a younger cheaper guy grooming with upside. Especially after last year going into it with on paper an elite wr core, probably the most expensive hands down. Then seeing every one struggle and miss games, massive under performances, that should’ve made the important clear. If not the years of chasing top flight WRs each off season to never land one. You can use motion to ease a guy into the waggle, which Edmonton didn’t do. And you can split reps, plus you don’t need to be schoen min maxing the waggle every snap. Dillion Mitchell is a player in this league, Kase has been below replacement level as a wr and kr. If Mitchell is that hard stuck, we gotta dump him and bring in some one with versatility to play more spots. Feels Lousy as a bomber fan that what ever our front office and coaching staff does is automatically good enough. And not just to us but to them. 30k plus fans a game deserve better.

I'd go with #2. You're blessed with a good memory... until you aren't.

Between 2019 & 2024 he was here for 4 seasons, so I doubt that. It was a financial decision. The Bombers didn't want to pay. Schoen coming off an injury season was the cheaper option. Seems like a waste of money signing him.

Whenever I get asked about why Mitchell isn't playing I say it's because he's an X wide receiver. And to get him in would require he or Wheatfall changes position. Based on having Case in for Schoen on Sunday I have to believe the Bombers have reservations too. The first day of camp this year they had Mitchell at slot next to Wheatfall. The next day Mitchell was at X with the 2s. And since the end of camp that's where he's stayed. Mitchell has played some slot in his career but the Elks clearly felt he was a WR. For his career I've got him with 151 targets at WR and 55 in the slot--73% WR is pretty high. When they signed Geno Lewis in 2023 they tried Mitchell in the slot but eventually bumped him out to Z. Watching his '24 and '23 Sunday night Mitchell had some real struggles with the waggle...more hesitant than most guys. How much was him and how much was the bad QB situations in Edmonton...who knows.

Lawler may still have character issues and doesn't fit in to the O'Shea way?

We decided to keep Shoen with an injured knee who missed almost the entire season last year & let Lawler get away?? I remember being against that decision & stating that here when Lawler signed with Hamilton wondering how many games we could squeeze outta the guy before he was hurt again. Jeezus, What kind of frigging decision was that from Walters & Osh???

Bang on. The CFL only worrying about the players but not the fans was wrong. If air quality was as bad as they say then get everyone out of that toxic nightmare. Cancel the game & do a make up whether it's the next day or two months from now. People wonder what is up (or down) with attendance. To me, the answer is easy. Disrespect the fans & this is what you get. No one shows up. I wonder how many fans the Riders lost Friday night with the way they & the CFL handled everything?

I'm okay with Case getting his year 2 opportunity. I might be the only one who doesn't think he is horse poop.

What if Case got better from last year to this?

Holy **** Case is going to start, this is such exciting news I can't wait to see what he can do for us! He showed so much potential during pre season and came into the league with such prestige and high praises. Sooooo jazzed about this!!!

He's been on roster last 2 actually

ZC has never looked the same since that neck injury against the Elks in EDM a few years ago.

Most fans aren't in the shape of a football player. The average man & woman expend a lot of energy climbing up & down stairs as they're out of shape. Parents brought babies & little kids to the game & their immunity systems haven't developd like that of adults. Is any long term damage being done being exposed to the noxious chemicals in the smoke? I'd bet that never came up in the hours long discussion between the CFL, CFLPA & TSN on rescheduling the game. The only safety issue to those 3 was protecting the players but not the fans. The league doesn't take that into consideration. Decisions need to be made much quicker with a whole set of different parameters neded to speed things up. Making people wait like that for hours in those conditions was absolutely ludicrous.

He approaches the game "the right way"tm

It wasn't 67 years ago, I would have to have been 3. However, it was a long time ago & yes things have improved since but careers are still cut short with an injury like that. And it still is a life altering injury.

This weeks picks need to be in by Thursday @ 6:30PM Current standings below:

To be fair, that was like 67 years ago. Medical science and treatment has improved since then 😉

Weitz was moved to the PR a couple weeks ago.

Tre Ford is really not that good tonight. Without his running he doesn’t hit his targets very often.

Yeah that would be the best use of assets..having both Logan and Mitchell back for KR too Be nice to swap Bailey for Weitz too...we know what Weitz offers...not much...havnt even noticed him on teams, so time to see what Bailey has to offer. Why we don't see what guys have in game reps is baffling If we go 3 nationals too be nice to see one of Person or J.Jones as well

Yeah that’d be a pretty big down grade. Vaval needs to grow make a few better decisions and be more secure. But that’s typical of rookie krs. Hes worth developing and teaching. especially since he looks like a legit db. Vaval and schoen for Logan and Mitchell would be well worth while though.

Case had 1 catch for 5 yards in three games last year. Believe he didn't play this past pre season. Had 1 catch for 4 yards last pre season. Seriously why is he still around? Logan as another offensive weapon and the returner would be interesting. Hopefully another defender in to help the Dline too.
