Preds now up 1-0 in the first period. New banner being minted momentarily in Nashville.

@Coorsmanjust sent a message to our group chat saying "this game is drunk..." And that seems fair. Way too wide open. Jets have to get back to their game and settle it down.

and the far too many big returns against, and games where we constantlylost the field position game Getting a productive defensive rotational player on the field for 18 gams, as opposed to a gimmick punter is well worth it i think weith age...and being a yr older for 2025, and the durability issues of lastfew yrs it's probablybthe right move to transition now. Grant is great when he is healthy and playing, but is he at that point with age...and how he plays with reckless abandon just not worth struggling again if he goes out for an extended time?...Always will be one my favorite returners and pound for pound one the toughest...and strongest guys we have seen in recent memory...

IT'S a huge need that wil go a long way in maximizing how/who we roster....that is if we don't do anything riduculously stupid like last yr

Tait is back with positional previews ahead of the drafts. https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/04/22/positional-preview-1-the-specialists-2/ Not sounding like Janarion is in the plans for the team.

The real solution is to just not punt... like that game where we scored on 7(?) straight drives.

Garry Galley (whom is my fave color commenter) put it the best, this game never felt safe. Case in point was when KC put up us 6-3, no way did I feel this game is in the bag. This game's feeling brought back memories playing the 85/86 Oilers. We're up 13-1 going into the 3rd period thinking is this enough? Nope, lost 15-13. I'm exaggerating for effect but not by much.

Last year we netted 33 or so on punts. I believe Castillo could do that. With improved cover teams hopefully we are closer to 40. Directionally he's a bit inconsistent. But if it gives you another useful player on D for 20-25 snaps a game...potentially worth it.

That Canadian punter doesn't really exist. There'd be 9 teams chasing that player. The only Canadian punter last year was Jake Julien. Everyone else was Aussie or import. Could try Castillo.

I actually dont think right now Haba is our best DE option to ully replace JJ....And thats a good thing, and not a slight on Haba whom if was allowed to have been rostered all last yr would have really developed....but we went a diff route and wasted a yr basially on allowing several players to develop. I think this Yrs DI's will be obviously Castillo....a dedicated returner who can actualy pull signifivant and impactful offensive reps (and i think Cruickshank or Smith may be that guy) at first glance, tho will adjust my opinion after seeing some camp up close Obviously a DE you would hope will be the other and likely a LB ....with Ford back we can go without the extra DB and who knows he may actually win a starting spot on the corner......and if that is the case then we can also rostwr an impact guy who is an import at SAM.....we have no reason or need to go Canadian there if Ford steps up...even if he doent we still have no need to put an extra Canadian there....just because. What we need to do is scrap the Global punter....and use that spot on a DL guy we take in global draft..there are at least 4 guys in that draft group who can make the roster and have meaningful reps on defence....the craptacular punt results last yr wasn't all on the coach we canned, but moreso on personell...and whatever new scheme they wanted to try, which in my opinion coincided with that constant gadget punting we tried over and over...which failed miserably.....sign a cnadian punter who can kick it consistantly 45 yards...with hangtime...and understands positional punting...it's not hard to do...or let Castillo do it...he's above average at it and would offer us probably better results than what we put up with last yr, and free's up another roster spot for another foot soldier

Stay out of the f****** box Jets. This game is yours five on five.

KC does not look right. You’re welcome.

The guy was a lawyer in Chicago for a few years before jumping into coaching at the NFL level. Very, very sharp guy. The guy knows football. He would have made an excellent CFL HC. It's too bad he never came back. Had he come back, I think he would have had a similar career to John Hufnagel with the Stamps.

Bombers signed defensive back Isaiah Norman. He's 6 foot tall from Marshall and tried out for the Chiefs last year. Looks like he got into 3 preseason games.

I was enthralled in listening to Jake Allen break that goal down from a Goalies perspective. For example, it was not the five hole, it was the triangle spot that was hit by NM. I think with seasoning Jake Allen will fit in nicely in the Broadcast booth if that's something he wants to do after his playing days are over.

This statement reminds me of the last 2 Grey Cups

Castillo is a fine punter. If you’re gonna have him kick off no point in carrying a punter imo. If we can get a really good global punter and kick off guy that’s solid. It all pivots on how we draft though. If we can get useful ni/g dl for this year that’ll be huge.

NSFW^2

Firehouse subs will open next Tuesday, and a third location is set for Taylor

Think expecting Georgiev to only let in 1 is wild. Jets might be thinking we could out score them every game and win. But giving up almost 50 shots against is not good.

Man you do embody Sheldon cooper

‘Not the style we want to play’ - Adam Lowry I think our captain is on to something.

I think I need to install a defibrillator in my house. Yeesh. Bucky looked off, Jets got scared when the Colorado PP struck and caused them to run around. When the jets made it 6-3 they were doing everything right. Gotta be better defensively. Colorado is deadly offensively.

Helle was great. Georgiev sucked. Not good today regardless of 1 0.

THAT was exhausting to watch.

Bones not gonna be thrilled. Hope he don’t mince words. Regardless if we hold on or not, not how the jets play. Not sustainable right now. get back to our game instead of Colorados

Intermission talk- let’s get back to our basics. Best Jets so far imo - Ehlers and Valardi After seeing it slow mo, that’s a penalty on NN on Lowry’s goal. If that happened on us, I’d be pissed. Of course I’ll still take it but . . .

Wow a penalty. Crazy. Jets on the PP. Great pressure. No goals. Jets 0 for 1 Jets waking up.

Avs 1/2 step ahead of us + defensive miscues = yikes. Saving grace so far making best of our limited chances.

Jets getting out worked. We need some sustained offensive zone time.

The whiteout looks intimidating. Think the 1st had something to do with it. Trying to put on a show. Jets need to find their structure. And 1 minute later it was 3 3. Sportsnet in the future.

BOOORRRRING!!!!! OK, great energy on the building, Jets got through the fire wagon period, now need to settle down and play their way. Colorado winning the board battles.

No, I think that's just an evergreen statement.

Yes, I have a theory and I think it's a good one that Janarion is with the CIA. Right now he's somewhere in Yemen but as soon as he gets out of radio silence he'll give Kyle the green light on coming back for another season.
