I thought Kelly was a keeper when he dominated Davarius Daniels 1v1 in the preseason game last year. The Halletts and Ian Logans of the world would not be able to make a play like that.

I have a lot of hope that S will be a good fight where the best guy wins. WR I think will as well. I am really hoping we go that way at Lber and don't instantly pencil in tony and kyrie. I don't think tony ill be penciled or penned in, but I worry kyrie will be. C, I have little to no hope. DT, I have some hope with lawson. From my perspective, some guys are personal favorites but not the best man. Wallace is a big one. he could step up and become that guy, but I think it's better than even money chance that he won't be better than one of the Imports. Makonzo is my favorite, but I think he will be and should be a depth piece / rotational guy. Cadwallader is a favorite but not the best guy on D. And Adams at DL is a big favorite for me, but not the best guy. He is going to be in tough this year. Woods, Lawson, Vaughters, and Willy are going to be tough to crack. Plus, we won't have a ton of DI flexibility with Lber, DB, Kr, and K almost certainly all locked up. Game action is worth 10x camp reps. Maybe more. For me, camp evaluation is more about mistakes, red flags, and intangibles. Throw a right tackle or end at the left side and see how they do. Throw a tackle at the guard, have your RB run routes half the day, and see if his hands are as good when you force him to rely on them rather than when he has to make the odd snag. Camp keeps you in camp, live fire reps is where you make the team. That is also why I am a fan of throwing your green guys, especially at turnover positions, against the other teams' starters. See how those guys do versus league starters, rather than guys who will be working at a Kinkos or some thing in a couple of weeks. I'll also say that live reps in person are worth a lot more than game film, which is worth a whole lot more than highlights. And we have made decisions that clearly broke with all logic in camp. Like investing a couple picks in NI rbs, and not giving those guys a real chance no matter how they perform. Like Rosery, who could've been a key depth Wr, Rb and teams guy getting cut for guys who are interchangeable with him at one of those roles but with out the versatility.

Hey look at today's date. I was expecting an article from Paul Friesen out by now saying that Travis Kelce was quitting the Chiefs to play his last season with his best buddy Zach in Winnipeg and that Taylor was already house hunting in Transcona.

Not that I love Bell by any means, but I was kinda hoping TSN was gonna get the national rights back again. What a shame.

Buck was great in the 24 WF.

I’m convinced zachs hand was busted up that whole time too. He’s had 3-4 really bad follow through motion plays where he hit his hand on helmets. It may never be the same after last years gc. Zach has had very few good play off games in blue n gold. Often just good enough in the wins. We should’ve had a ton more blow out wins. Injuries, personnel, buck, a lot of issues at play.

Greenwood has tremendous size and athleticism. That’s a great guy to have in camp. Hall is small for and end which isn’t the biggest deal, he does have really good athleticism for the edge but not as amazing considering his size kind of what you should expect for that size. Camp can’t come soon enough. Soo many great position battles coming up.

While I do agree that ZC has had issues in GC games.... He's also had a wired run of fluke injuries. He had the bum ankle via the west Final two years ago, then the ripped finger this past year. It's been strange that he hasn't been 100% healthy for an entire GC game in awhile.

Kelly is the most legit Canadian we have on roster who isnt already a starter...and even then is more legit than a couple who are "starters" Kid has all the skills....and the smarts That and the fact he one of our best ST guys on top of it....Groomed right he could play half back or Corner as well as Safety and I wouldn't be bothered with him getting reps at SAM....He's that good we def brought in some intruiging free safety body types who reek of versatility...be interesting camp and with my flexible work sched I hope to attend most it I just hope that at every spot...the best man gets the nod...not the "favorite" man

Agree. Sportsnet is terrible.

Every thing clicked in that game. Ssk couldn’t even get in our way to slow us down. Probably peak buck, peak zach play off performance. I think that performance was due to many factors, I think we’d a won easily in a lot of worst case scenarios. Buck had a few good games that year. He showed some great game prep and adaption a couple times. I had a lot of optimism for him following that, if he took a step forward from his best moments of that year he’d be well on the road to greatness. I was bitterly disappointed that instead he collapsed to his worst level, sustained that and hit new depths. A great oc is consistent, innovates new ways to succeed with game plans and adjustments and is always pushing his offence into the future. Buck flashed those things but never came close to sustaining them. That means he never hit great imo. He’s still really young though. And a change of scenery could be just what he needs. Could well still become a great offensive mind. I like the guy a lot, but I’m glad he’s gone.

He's some info on a Dlineman the Bombers signed today. He lead an arena league in sacks last season, was signed to the Renegades and then was cut Mar 21st. Linebacker/DE Dreydon Hall was also signed.

I like ZC but he's had some playoff stinkers. He stabilized things and helped us win in 2019 but the offensive engine was Harris without question. Heck Harris helped us get back in 2021 with a great WF. ZC was clutch in OT in the 21 GC though.

nor is ZC track record People can cherry pick games and stats to support both narratives for a player....I think tho in the environment here...at it's apex...he would have got it done...especially with the cast around him how has ZC done of late when it mattered most??...same story...different book....In the 2 Cup wins under ZC...He was not the reason we won them...not even remotely

Stanley isn’t great but blaming everything on him is ridiculous. Whether you admit it or not he’s better than fleury and heinola and that’s his competition. That’s why he plays. Cuz fleury and heinola are worse and **** up more.

https://3downnation.com/2025/04/01/what-does-the-new-rogers-nhl-tv-deal-mean-for-the-cfl/ will the new cfl deal be the biggest ever? Almost certainly. Will it be big enough that it has a substantial impact and creates any sort of noticeable change? I kind of doubt it. I’m more worried about tsn dying off than I am optimistic that the cfl being its corner stone means big things for us.

Love how he moves in coverage. A Canadian S who can pick up any one on a bust underneath is a great luxury. Forget if he takes a step forward this year. I just want to see more of what we’ve seen from him.

The trick is to get guys here. Then they fall in love with the atmosphere and the team approach. Just like demelo. I’m not sure there’s a closer group in the league. Listen if you want fancy stores and bright lights, Winnipeg ain’t for you. But if you love hockey it certainly is.

Once they hit 300k is when they lost their 2nd pick. Had they been 100-300k over, it would have cost them the first round pick only. Anything under 100k is a dollar for dollar fine.

Jets vs Minnesota would be my preferred round 1 match up. Colorado vs Dallas also round 1.

Agreed, that why I put multiple steps in. But winning the division is a big advantage, so that’s the goal I am interested in

lol ok you guys have convinced me, Stanley is the next Bobby Orr. Good grief so ridiculous.
