O'Shea has always said players tend to make a leap on the second year, whether its learning the cfl game, or the bombers system. As far as the other recievers its a bit early to make any judgements. Schoen hasnt stepped on the field and prior to being injured he was more productive than Lawler. We dont know what we have in d. Mitchell and Stern let alone the rookies.

Thought this was a good piece from Tait... As always, very worth your click... https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/05/18/blue-bombers-training-camp-week-1-status-report/

I’d rather see Kyrie Wilson get cut, to be honest

Toews as a vet guy who has won would be huge for this team imo.

I know its early but am I wrong to think that the best case scenerio for the linebacker spots is for Ayers and J. Jones to be the starters with K.Wilson as a DI?

Cams been hurt once and is still recovering. You can’t say he can’t stay on the field.

Your Cam Lawson cant stay on the field though.And we all know you dont like Jake Thomas.

Looks like Freddys Frozen Custard and Steakburgers will be opening soon in kildonan crossing. Never been. Sounds delicious. First franchise in Canada apparently.

Jake's making the club from the buffet table it appears....

That reminds me how long were the Bombers between games when Richard Harris died? I still remember the day the news broke my parents and I were on our annual two day shopping trip to the states in July of 2011

yeah but at least "there's always next year" came later than normal this year.....actually this is around the same time we were bounced in round three seven years ago I can take some kind of comfort knowing that we outlasted Vegas, and we got revenge against the Blues

I think Ehlers has played his last game as a jet. We really need some depth scoring additions and sandpaper and grit. We also need to work on the faceoffs. Yes it was a great season, and I think this was a missed opportunity. Jets deserved a better fate. I'm tired of next year country but we are there again. Maybe Chevy can work some off-season magic.

All 3 not named Lawson are if ranked probably the 3 worst national DTs in the league...there's that too...and if a dt is not required for ratio..which it isn't then the smarter move to have your best defence is to give the imports the majority of the reps and figure out the most impactful and versatile Those 3...are not making any cfl roster other than ours...and that's not a good thing

Yeah, he brings a ton to camp. Ideal 3tech type guy up here, if he can turn into a decent pass rusher from the 3. His weak punch knock will be offset by playing against Canadian guards. Hes also a guy that could likely play 4i in the 30 front. Hes got similar physical size and tool set to Casey Sayles. Isn’t as polished as a pass rusher but much better in run d.

I love shmekels motor and willingness to contribute. Nice utility too. But man, he doesn’t turn that into any thing in play on dl. I’d convert him to a ol. Hes a last Canadian on the roster guy, and kornelson looks like a tc body to me.

Pretty good stats for a DT coming out of the ACC, looks like he was a team captain in 2024 as well. Really good looking prospect, got the right body type for a CFL DT imo.

I think Joannies mom was actually at the olympics with her like her and Joannie were together when she died. Mark was in Dallas. His dad was in Ontario. Regardless tho, I think the comparison is fair cuz I think of Joannie as a Canadian icon and 55 is a Jets icon.

Bombers sign Kevin pointer out of wake forest. (Vegas rookie camp this year) 6’1 285lbs dt. He’s a fast for his size, very high motor 3 tech who is a tackling machine. Not a nose or a big pass rusher though he projects much better as a pass rusher here than down south.

That makes sense. Honestly though I don't think either Shcmekel or Kornelson is good enough to be in a regular rotation.

My different take on that. We're not sure when Lawson will be back and Thomas proved he's our most durable DL and knows Younger/Hall system the most. So, why not give most of the reps to Schmekel and Kornelson?

Thomas getting that free ride veteran camp treatment cuz I was always told you can’t make the club from the tub.

I take it as a good thing. Dude stuck around on the PR all last season. He seems like maybe he needed time to learn but who knows so if he’s the guy he’s the guy but gotta do it on game day not just practice. The pre season will determine who starts at receiver I’m sure. Cuz right now I’d take what they are saying with a grain of salt tho. Does appear to be some openings at receiver tho. May the best man or men win.
