Imagine having 16 OL in camp and only 5 being Canadian. If you told someone 20 years ago the league would shift that drastically toward having Canadians play at LB/DB and receiver/RB vs OL/DL they wouldn't have believed you.

I too have had the perception that MOS plays favourites. So you’d think that if that bias is real that players would be pissed and pick up and go elsewhere ASAP. But I am re-thinking that theory. I asked AI for a list of players who left the Bombers to play elsewhere for various reasons in the past 5 years. Here it is: Dru Brown Ottawa Demerio Houston DBOttawa REDBLACKS / Calgary2024/2026 Janarion Grant KR/WRToronto Argonauts2024 Rasheed Bailey WRToronto Argonauts2024 Jerreth Sterns WRMontreal Alouettes2026 Eric Lofton OLHamilton Tiger-Cats2026 Keric Wheatfall WRHamilton Tiger-Cats2026 James Vaughters DESaskatchewan Roughriders2026 Alden Darby DB/LBOttawa REDBLACKS2022 Jonathan Kongbo DLToronto Argonauts / BC Lions2023/2026 Enock Makonzo LBToronto Argonauts2026 Casey Sayles DLHamilton Tiger-Cats2023 Dakota Prukop QBEdmonton Elks / BC Lions2024/2025 Peyton Logan is still FA, Shea Patterson Montreal Jake Dolegala Hamilton Josh Hagerty BC Lions. And, other than Dee Alford who started on the PR but then became a star and left for Atlanta, along with Chris Streveler and Sergio Castillo who got some NFL time, the only ex-Bombers to land in the NFL after PR spots on the club are Brandin Bryant (2018) and DB Matthew Jackson who was on Bombers PR last season for a month last year then signed with the Tennessee Titans. Jackson is back in Blue Bombers camp and listed as #4 on the depth chart at CB. So I am not sure how many on the above list left the Bombers feeling insulted because they were snubbed by MOS. We made a mistake letting Janarion Grant get away IMHO and that hurt for a season until Trey Vaval showed up.

Britton seems like appropriate self awareness. From what I saw he probably didn’t belong in a CFL training camp.

I just really wanted a guy named McCutcheon on the team... Sad about that. Otherwise, let's get main camp rolling!

Britton the only one on there really worth mentioning. what’s the story with jaworski tho. Osh was asked about him and hinted maybe he’s not actually retired. Britton? He might be for real tho as he was all last year also pretty much.

Wonder if Britton retired or “retired” although he wouldn’t be a counter either way so I’m assuming it’s legit

Yeah I D aw it as a good humourous reflection from the past too

I took Mike's post as a joke and thought it was so funny.

the thing is with some players hype, and the perception (and a lot of times correct) that a guy has it and should/could be playing is that in the CFL, especially with a rigid roster framework/ratio idea and or a very biased Coach (which is and may still be an issue here) better players are gonna be cut adrift, or get no opportunity and the bad taste of knowing you got cut for a scrub or a favorite is a big factor in PR refusal...and rightfully so....just way it is in CFL when you have a ratio, and also an overly Patriotic Canadian head Knock.... All that being said am looking forward to some days at camp...will throw out my opinion, and take it for what it is...my opinions and looking forward to DL/WR and LB battles, and a what we do on Oline and Receiver....with our "overall depth" especially on defense I hope we dont go 3 import on Oline and 3 cabadian at receiver...that makes us a weaker team and the trade off in production at both spots doing so isnt big enough to make it worth it Especially if later this yr or in 2027 one of or both of Manu and the kid we drafted stroll into camp...along with likely more Wallace development and Vibert being ready to play in prime time. Plus we need a 6'3" or bigger receiver with skills to win one on ones to augment or wr group....we have lacked that for yrs now but have been burned by guys like that...a lot

Jarvis was never a jet. If the jets picked him he wouldn’t be playing with Sebastian Aho and Ehlers and the jets were 7 wins from a cup in 2018.

Any releases yet? And I guess humour is subjective cuz that wasn’t overly funny. More kinda stupid and a waste of time kinda like attending camp so it all makes sense. There’s been plenty of years we all pick a dude and declare him the man then he gets cut first time he can. It is what it is. Who cares. Football is back. I’d love to see a surprise early release of a lb but that’s not gonna happen.

Yup, streaming it right now

Nik Ehlers & Seth Jarvis 8 wins away from a cup. Chevy

Best episode of television I have ever seen in my life. Some of the best actors on the planet cameo-ing and putting on a clinic.

Anyone watching Your Friends and Neighbors? I think last night's episode might attract some Emmy attention. It reminds of the Bear episode that took place at the Christmas Eve dinner. I find it interesting that both episodes are the 6th ones of their respective seasons.

It’s actually sad how you and Old Man Nickel are so butthurt by literally anything I post. It was a joke and off goes Al with his “OMG and he’s a mod” whining and off goes GCn with his “he thinks he’s smarter than everyone” proclamations. Do you notice how everyone else was able to either just laugh, shake their head or ignore it and move on? Instead of putting a whole bunch of implications that don’t exist into the words I wrote? I don’t know if you two are just completely incapable of letting anything I post NOT get to you, but maybe you should try. Like I messaged Al earlier, I’m an “administrator” here because I helped (barely) Rich found this place however long ago we started it and if you were to ask any of the people (Rich, Joey, Mark, NOT me) who actually put in their time and effort keeping this site tidy, they’d probably tell you I don’t even know where the ModCP is to be able to do any moderator duties. Not once in ten plus years here have I ever leaned on anyone and tried to act like an authority, so I have no idea where his weird old ass gets that idea. And I guess I’ll just say this part out loud - I stopped being in tune with the goings on and day-to-day of this team a couple years ago, I don’t know sweet **** all about most things other than when I have a few spare minutes to read some articles so whatever “holier than thou” attitude you think I’m toting around … it ain’t there. I do see it from you with your constant arguing like you know everything about the whole Walters vs. O’Shea dilemma and I do think it’s funny that you are just about the only one here who doesn’t notice it, but hey … that’s not my business. anyways. Curious to see who breaks camp tomorrow. Go Bombers. Grey Cup in 2026.

Does Mike think everyone here are simpletons and need to be taught that TC reports do not tend to age well? High Horse should be the name of his car. I mean honestly this thought police shtick can get annoying to a lot of the members here. It would be different if he himself didn't value his opinions higher than anyone else's...but he does.

I fear you may be right. Jones seems to have become a favourite of O'Shea and we all know what that means.

This was interesting to watch. The coaches laying the ground rules for camp.

My money is on Tony Jones being an untouchable lock at MLB and the other spot Wilson with a chance Santos l halper beats him out...

Training Camp '26 Preview - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

I wasn't watching - why were we eliminated? Who makes these rules?
