Starting 3 canadian receivers is just plain dumb....especially if not needed...Even with 3 import olineman not needed. Would make us a way weaker offene as that 3rd giy would just be a position taker and no real threat. Even 3 import oline guys is kinda dumb if it doesnt make us significantly better, as it just denies our defence an import where it would have a way bigger impact If you declare 2 on defence...and 5 on offence for Canadians, as well as use the Nationlized american we can sub pretty freely regardless, so the extra 2 starting Canadians is pointless...especially if they are not the best players available....and in all honesty they won't be...experienced or not...they wont I hope and think we really are looking to put Kramdi at safety...if not full time...a lot as that makes sense as well as he is probably talent and impact wise our 4th best option there...3rd at best...and dont care that he is super smart and knows all the positions....slap him at safety then so he can oversee what we are lined up in and shout out corrections if his smartness see's an alignment error Thats one my main issues with Osh and hoped it was gonna change....the need in his mind to use extra Canadians even though they not the best....

I’d agree there. I’m not sure they would have got out of the WF without ZC. The TD drive in the first half from deep in their own end specifically. Getting out in front early ended up being the difference in that game.

Streveler suffered that foot injury in week 19 All of this is fair enough. I just don't find it necessary to hang the game manager label on ZC. Both QBs have their strengths and weaknesses. ZC is better at pushing the ball downfield, and this made a difference.

If they go White/Wilson/Demski/Nield and make the 5th spot a rotation of Clercius/Daniels/MCI, then they should go 3 american olineman. No reason to start both 3 Canadian olineman and receivers given our talent at both spots.

Well, so far a 3rd American hasn't even received an opportunity. That said, they just cut Mcghee from the secondary and he had taken every rep with the defensive starters. Still, I look at as their plan is to start 2 Americans, 2 Nats, and then rotate between Vibert, Daniels, Chris-Ike, and Cobb. I don't think the 5 receiver set will be the most common alignment. Not at all. Ontaria seems to be having a great camp, but also mixed with going down every other day. We have no receiver depth to absorb losing one of White, Wilson, Demski.

Yeah.. all starts by rookie Strev on a broken foot and probably the main reason we went shopping for ZC. No one here is knocking ZCs contribution to our Grey Cup, just pointing out that Nichols was having a very strong season that year and played the best football of his career pre injury. We may have won the cup with him as well.

All of this seems like not very good news...

Should the Bombers look at expanding PAS to 40000? To take advantage of their popularity?

Good luck finding some one who would say “Yeah, that what I was expecting.”

Just when I thought I've seen everything weather wise BOOM dust storm

Still early, no doubt. I read today that Demski was out and they moved Cobb to his spot and Corcoran took Cobb's spot. So it seems like they are pretty set on 3 Canadian WR, at the moment. Couple that with the fact that they will want to pull out a Canadian WR at times to put on Daniels or MCI. So that's when Cobb etc would come out. I still think the offensive line is the most likely position that an American could win a spot. Heard good things about Elsbury and we know Randolph and Vanterpoole can play.

what about Dante Daniels?

Personally I think they are trying to decide whether to play 3 Nat receivers or 3 Nat OL. That would give the illusion we are starting 9 because you have to give each set of 3 a long look. Day 5 at the beginning of camp is probably not what we are going to 5 days before the end of camp. IMHO, if we went with 3 NAT receivers either Cobb/Corcoran/Clercius would have to have incredible camps or our contingent of new IMP recruits a total disaster

Drakkar Noir is more 90's. Axe didn't come out (in North America at least) until the early 2000's.

8-2 with Nichols starting though. And never got our butts kicked in the two losses.

I associate the 90's smell of going to the bar and smelling cigarettes and the smell of the guys loaded up with Axe body spray.

It appears to me that the Bombers are leaning towards starting 9 Canadians again - Oliveira, Neufeld, Eli, Wallace, Demski, Nield, Cobb/Corcoran/Clercius, Lawson, Kramdi. I guess the big question is whether an American can win a starting job at C over Eli... Can't see them cutting Neufeld or Wallace. I'd be curious if anyone has been getting first team reps at C other than Eli.

So far this guy says all the right things. https://www.bluebombers.com/2026/05/14/taylor-elgersma-may-14/

I just went to the St Vital Hot Topic, I don't know if New Store Smell is a thing but it should be because it smelled like a dream night club (I can't say it smells like the 90's because to me the 90s would smell like a slurpee spilled on the floor of a 7-11 or any concession stand)

Thanks good sir...Was gonna be in the area so figured on taking some camp in if there was practice

They had lost 4 of 5 before the ZC trade. There was a game vs. Hamilton that was just an absolute mess.

Friday, May 15 Practice: 9:05 a.m. - 12:10 p.m. Saturday, May 16 Practice: 8:30 a.m. - 11:35 a.m. Sunday, May 17 Practice: 8:30 a.m. - 11:35 a.m. Monday, May 18 Practice: 9:35 a.m. -12:25 p.m. Tuesday, May 19 Practice: 9:35 a.m. - 12:25 p.m.

I’m not fixated about anything. All I said was my initial thoughts were I’m glad we’re not sticking to the status quo. I don’t know if he’s good or not good, but we have a history and tendency to play guys simply because they have a little bit of experience. Like you said yourself. You want the best players on the field. Maybe he is the best guy for the job (doubt it because he’s been cut multiple times) but you’re the one who is getting bent out of shape over this.
