A cause of death has been determined for Chase Stegall https://www.tmz.com/2025/09/03/college-soccer-player-chase-stegall-cause-of-death/

But it's the gm not the coach!!111!!!

Gotta go with Bombers MVP/MOP, Demski.

So we bring back guys like Kornelson but have two Canadian rookies who were high picks who get no reps on D. #Thingsthatmakenosense

it’s talent kyrie almost 2/3 of the season to get to a good game. he might be great the rest of the year if he stays healthy. but we could have the same level of play by now from one of the young guys with a future. It’s just wild. ugh kornelson back is bad news bears. bet one of woods/adams gets walking papers soon. I like oyelola, super athletic with plenty of raw talent. much better than weitz. but watch us cut bailey instead.

I knew Korny would be back the second Schmeck went down. Insane. At least one of Woods or Adams will sit so we can trot out an inferior D line interior… For no good reason.

Other teams have bottomed out and haven't done a mass overhaul like what was done in Calgary (when is the last time another team went with 12 new starters on D?) so yeah it was a choice on their end to a certain extent. Forced to make changes - yes. Forced to completely revamp their team - no, they chose to go that extreme and (so far) it's working for them. It flies in the face of MOS & Walters saying you can only make so many changes at one time. I honestly have not seen anything from MOS that gives me confidence that he'll make necessary changes unless he's forced to.

2019 is a prime example of getting hot at the right time. Even other players (BLM) were picking them to win it all.

I'd keep Lawson but would get rid of the others you mentioned. Getting rid of Thomas is an issue now due to ratio, so that's a different question or thought. Before last week I would have kept J. Jones before Ayers. Now Woodbey is added into the mix. He looked good in his 1st game. In case you missed it we re-signed global LB Oyelola after a few years in the NFL. Does he immediately replace Weitz who I wondered why we kept in the 1s place.

Aww thanks.

Calgary completely bottomed out... to suggest they weren't forced to make wholesale changes is revisionist.... Hopefully the Bombers can and do make major changes before the bottom falls out, like it did in Calgary

He's a favourite of O'Shea which is nuts IMO. It doesn't seem that he'd be the next man up at any of the 3 starting LB positions if we have an injury. I liked what I saw from Woodbey in his 1st game. J.Jones seems to have fallen off the radar though. If Kramdi or Makonzo are able to play this week, that gives our starter or depth back at SAM. Woodbey played due to that need with Griffin moving to SAM. I'd keep Woodbey on the AR for at least another week, but that would be at the cost of Ayers. I see we've re-signed Kornelson which suggests we're sticking with an all Canadian DT interior. Also signed global LB Oyelola after a few years in the NFL. Not sure why we did that unless we're getting rid of Weitz.

Well really...whats in ontario? Draft prospects...not legit free agents with pro experience or NFL looks kicking around...I agree on that tho...he looks at cis guys there And stand pat on the notion that osh for some of his good qualities is a shitty evaluator of actual talent or upside...and or values the wrong things over true talent at times

while I like Kyrie Wilson as a player, when healthy... this is exactly the reason why I did not like his resigning.... why couldn't Ayers and J Jones rotate through the defense instead?... and now we might have a good one in Woodbey... why are we wasting reps on a 32 year old LB when he have younger, cheaper, and likely better options...

Khari was soo damn good at getting the ball out quick on a rope, letting milt run under it. And yeah they played like they had a headset and mic to each other. Such a thing of beauty to watch.

I'm a bit split on that. On one hand, the gm is ultimately the one responsible for on field product. If he defers to the HC (and I think walters does to mos), and it doens't work out, the gm is as much to blame as the hc. I think rookie talent has been where it needs to be in this and the last camp. Not as much the prior year. Even when I look at the current roster, Vaval has been drastically better as a kr than Logan ever has. Logan has been a bust on offence (doesn't look right at all currently.) and peterson has been better for certain. Adams and Woods are our 2 best DTs by a lot, but are on the PR. We'd be better off with houston or woodey playing the db reps vaval has gotten, and probably lawson jr too. person has been our best Dl and played the fewest snaps. We've got young, athletic defenders who make an impact when given a chance in Jjones, shay, smith, and ayers, but we won't let them grow into and over take vets. We've wasted soo many final roster spots on guys like korny, Weitz etc but refuse to give bailey a look. \ We keep guys like case kicking around for no reason as well. Thats all on mos, and thats before you get into the can of worms that is thomas/kola. I think the easiest way to fix the problem with the mafia, is to shake up the top end. I think it's easier to find a GM, than a HC, and a gm who would actually be MOS' boss holding him responsible could get him back on the right track possibly. I also don't think we are approaching a point where the only way forward is firing a mafia guy, I think it's long past.

That's what made the 17 to 85 connection so perfect. They new exactly how to attack a blitz without looking at each other.

It is really just silly to keep Ayers on if only plays STs. He looked good rotating on D last year, not sure why he gets no reps now.

I was thinking they could take Logan off and use Mitchell as the returner. He has more experience at that than Echols and is already more in sync with the offence as depth. I didn't think Woodbey would get many reps on defence but he was on the field immediately and didn't look out of place. He recorded 2 DT's and 1 ST compared to none for Ayers. I'd like to keep on the AR but that may be difficult if we go back to an import DT. Of course the option is to take Ayers off, which would be my preference. Getting Bailey on would be useful but it may depend on whether Hallett or Makonzo are healthy.

Not cheap but good local beer and good food.
