Tait says Schoen a full participant today for the first time. Huzzah.

Went to practice this morning. Nothing ground breaking to report. Thought the running back 36, smaller American guy looked solid. Really effective blocker in the one on ones. Imo play of the day was made by Corcorcan(can't remember how to spell his name, but the wr they drafted this year). He is slow...there's no doubt about it. But he went up and made a great play on an under thrown ball that should have been intercepted. Schoen looked like himself out there. No brace on. No lack of speed etc. Routes were as sharp as ever. Talked to him after the practice and he said he was feeling great and anxious to get back out there. He was great with my son too. Talked to him a bit and gave an autograph. Sergio is the man...he came right up to my boy (who was wearing his schoen jersey) and talked a bit, then said he'd introduce him to Schoen after practice. Which he did. Needless to say, we had a great morning!

The new punter can put it high and far. Decent sideline accuracy as well. But his hang time is what caught my attention.

^^ the new kid, he means... Think it'll come down to the pre season games. It's virtually impossible to unseat a veteran in Osh's Army, but if there's a clear difference between the two......

Early on but he’s got a big leg.

Huge.

Would you call it a haircut you can set your watch to?

By all accounts Dillon Mitchell has been a disappointment so far. Let's hope he is one of those gamers that doesn't practice well.

Hopefully the new guy unseats our incumbant punter.

Amen. thinking back to those brutal games last year when were rolling with Wheatfall, Johnson, Mitchell, and pre-lightbulb O. Wilson. Zero chemistry with Zach. Need that veteran out there.

Three of us heading to Langford for today's tilt between Lions & Stamps and to say hi to Buck. Wearing our Bombers gear, naturally https://www.timescolonist.com/sports/lions-ready-to-roar-in-cfl-preseason-game-at-starlight-stadium-10677687

Nope...not wrong at all And like Thomas...Schmeck...same scenario...just ******* any progression and transition as well as development of younger...better players another yr

Lawson basically has had 1 real major injury Not that I don't like Jake..he just not good...or best option last few yrs and now serves zero purpose...zero upside..and just slows down any transition another yr...and vet leadership? ..we have tons so that "excuse/reasoning" holds zero validity as well

In reading between the lines, it looks like Lofton may be in trouble. He was OK last year but not exceptional enough to warrant gifting him a spot. From the Tait description, it sounds like the overall talent is better than last year.

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

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

Apply bubble wrap to him please and thank you.

Qft. likely has to be able to out angle sheahan and have the depth control to optimize for shorter punts. From the bit I’ve seen it’d be an easy decision based on the frequent shanks we saw last year. At the same time, with the incredible talent in Evans leg combined with having just turned 24 and just strived up here, he should at worst be guaranteed a pr spot for a while.

Exactly...it's not a need...and carrying 3 on the active roster...2 of which are not top tier...and don't help on ST is just a waste Use those 2 national spots on practical players who excel on teams and can take reps on offence or defence

Made things slightly less painful...

Realistically, if Lawson was out we don’t need the ni dl starter. Full imp dl would be nasty too.

The biggest hurdle seems to be the way the Blues were allowed to play, in round one.

That’s how I see it generally for starters. Though I will say tony jones does look improved this year so far. If he keeps it up he and Jonathon jones will be a battle. I wouldn’t di kyrie. They’ve been playing him at mac in camp this week, I think they might seriously consider that and cut a good young backer sadly. I wouldn’t di a wil/Mac this year.

Save a bit of cash if Myron Mitchell replaces Dillon Mitchell, who is scheduled to make $160k and has yet to impress. He has the potential to be great but he's not delivering.

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. Having said that I'm still disappointed that we let Woli go, especially when our Canadian receiver group looks weak behind Demski and Clercius

https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/dallas_stars_owner_makes_touching_gesture_to_mark_scheifele_after_his_fathers_passing/s1_17448_42212524 It has been revealed that Tom Gaglardi has flown Scheifele home to Kitchener in Ontario on his private plane after Game 6, allowing Scheifele to get home and be with his family following the tragic weekend that he's been through. Classy move by Dallas owner, wondering why Canada's richest man couldn't have also offered this to Scheifele, given he's an owner of the team.

Game is on CFL+, have a VPN ready just in case.

That's him. Super nice guy

Agree. I think Lofton is on the verge already of being passed by both vanterpool and Randolph. Those two side by side on the right would be great. Yeah and honestly his upside at this point is not far off ayers floor.

As I said that's mine concern too. Wilson hasn't had a healthy season since 2019.

Leafs lose 6 1. lol.

Myron Mitchell was a guy they liked out of camp last year too. Maybe he took a step, if he’s our best wr right now we are pooched. What’s more concerning to me is we are not cycling guys out and air lifting new ones in. Its a hard year for WRs in camp, with the system change and need to prep two starting QBs for week 2 and 3. From what I’ve seen none of the QBs are where I would’ve hoped and expected. It’s a hard camp for them too. New system, no Jackson in yet, bunch of changes on the ol/rec core. Week 1, lots of rust to shake off and new guys to gel with. If we are gonna start off better than last year, we need a better performance this coming week and a to see a little some thing out of the offence in pre season game 1.

I'd be ok with that that too. My post was part question, part prediction. I'd hate to see Ayers or J,Jones cut but fear it happens.

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?

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

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

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

Probably hiding from each other.

It could be health related. I doubt if he has any money concerns. I hope he has a wonderful retirement. Matty deserves it.
