Our entire defense aside from Jefferson Gauthier and Thomas has turned over since 2022. Kickers, receivers. Not sure the emotional reaction to cut down day is warranted. But I guess football is too boring.

Another year of watching a guy with the worst fundamentals from a pro kicker, ever (Sheahan) Thanks MOS....

Well they signed a pretty big number of free agents. Although all of those guys probably don’t deserve to make the team, like Stearns I personally don’t see a need/fit for. Mitchell has a track record so you’re hoping he can be the 1300 yard pace guy. White looked good to me in the home game. Also pretty good number of guys going into year 2. Like say a Wheatfall. I hope his pre-season dominance carries over…QBs seem to love him. I don’t think we want a pile of rookies starting…really searching for the depth to fill in when needed and take spots maybe next year when some others need to get paid. It’s easy for the rookies to look good because it’s like meeting someone for the first time…you see all the good and upside. We know the warts on the old guys and the excitement is gone. But not the best barometer for long-term success.

If you’re at this depth of worry, time to take a break. There’s plenty of long snappers around including Leroux. If they kept him you’d be complaining they kept a roster spot for a long snapper and cut someone else.

Bombers cut Myron Mitchell

I’m going to reply to this again just to expand on my comment a bit more. Until we actually start using the roster rules that are available to us, I don’t think anyone in their right mind can suggest “putting the best football team on the field” is the main priority. There’s clearly another agenda there and that, largely more than the individual roster choices, is what makes me frustrated as a fan.

Thing with Kyrie is that he is likely to park himself on the IR before long. Guy's a good player, but you can't rely on him playing a whole season and that's why you should be moving on.

Argos had the balls to release Ka’Deem Carey because they feel like they have someone younger, and cheaper to replace him. This was after a 1000 yard season, 1400 total yards and 8 TD’s.. We have a few vets that don’t even have enough in the tank as Carey that im hoping today we move on from but I wont hold my breath.

Agreed. I know he doesn’t have the ties of a Kyrie Wilson, but it’s nice to see we can move on from guys beyond just rookies.

Look on the bright side, if there is only 1 rookie starter the team so be 17-1.

Its more who we didn't cut to make room and not block prospects...Pointer should not have...he looked best next to Adams and as it sits now have no import depth there...and one who quasi knows our system and showed some nice potential Thats my issue here...we block/regress any advancement of new younger better talent behind older players who aren't getting better...and aren't what they were...and feel this need to follow bottom half of roster with largely plugs who would never really be more than special teasers Hall should have been kept too...as opposed to Case who showed nothing of anything intriguing...couldn't stay on roster last yr....didnt earn anything this yr and who woukd he displace currently? Hall showed some nice skill set...showed ZC had some chemistry with him...in which with ZC is huge as if he doesn't have confidence or chemistry in a receiver he largely ignores them...also Webb...he looked legit...we kept Person thank God as I see him becoming our best all around dlineman if given a roster spot...we have 2 30 something ends right now...proven...that's it...dumb to not have 2 guys developing and ready to roll Scmeck...Thomas...KOrnelson...Wilson...T.Jones...those guys are not difference maker guys to put u over the top...and we likely dress all 5...just cause seniority...man crush...familiarity

I’m going to reserve the right to wait until our actual week 2 roster is sorted but I’m not thrilled about Kyrie or Parker making the team. Sheahan is another one. I will say I like the PR choices we made, but I’m hopeful some of them are actually on the roster for season kickoff - mostly Person or Allen.

Let’s save the bitching about who is on the game day roster vs PR until they actually set a roster for a game. Glad they kept most of the standouts from the preseason around. Cooley, Allen, Woodbey, Vaval None of the rookie American receivers showed much on anything unfortunately.

Argos won 2 of last 3 cups...both against us...they not afraid to go with best player available regardless of age..tenure..favor...we need to adapt that mindset

Wheatfall

My biggest wtf is Sterns. Guy was ass in both games. Hasn’t returned. He’s the kind of receiver our QBs don’t work well with…Zach loves the catch radius guys. Must have had an amazing camp

MBB right now

Waders27 game replay, no commercials.

There’s no way Cooley makes the active roster. He’s Pigrome V2. I think he’s a great player but the preseason hype is out of control and we’re trying to play fantasy football to justify his value. “I’ll just put him in the flex” … there’s no logistically sound way to fit him on our active roster unless we end up with an injury to Brady.

Or Damian Jackson

If we can make space for Greg Mccrae we can find room for anyone.

O'Shea affectionately referred to Kramdi as "a bit of a prick". “I love the way Redha plays football, his passion for the game. And he’s got that ability to be a prick, and that’s a good thing on the football field.” Asked today to expand a bit further on the ‘prick’ component, O’Shea added this: “It’s a term of endearment from me. When that gets that bestowed upon him, that’s very positive. It’s just that edge — not the penalty — just the edge, the desire to win your one-on-one and beat your opponent all the time and no quarter. You just want to beat them.”

Teach him the slot and to return...hes already shown he can catch and make stuff happen after the catch...plus he can run the jet sweeps and that inside handoff that Demski kinda sucks at more than busts runs Yeah...can call him a slot hybrid and do a lot of stuff out off backfield and motion plays...that would open stuff right up as defences would have to key on him and dedicate a guy to him...Likely their top LB

I think this game finalized what we all knew… This years TC MVP winner, is Cooley. Following in the footsteps of the oft mentioned legend tony ortiz and countless others, Cooley won over the fans, media, staff and his fellow players. He tore up the field every time he got a chance and has assured him self a tremendous package in the next couple days. Instead of the usual apple and a road map, he can look forward to a steak sandwich from Simone’s and a business class plane ticket on an indirect flight. In all seriousness, he’s shown he deserves a chance to play in this league. He even had a nice block on a sweep, and a really nice catch in a ball low and behind.

All pissing and moaning aside.... I still think we have a really good team that could easily be the top team in the west, if health stays on our side for a change.

Definitely 2022, and 2023 if Bighill had been sat instead of playing.

Honestly the move I find the most puzzling, as jbr mentioned earlier, is how sterns made the cut. I like his effort and toughness. He was solid but unspectacular in camp. Brutal in preseason games. He didn’t put play any one. I like the guy but he didn’t show up. And we are already keeping Mitchell who also didn’t show up for camp or pre season.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that the last three cups could have been won if a few key veterans had been jettisoned in favor of fresher blood each year.

Yup... Wait their turn behind inferior players...why? If u ready...u ready...and then still keep the inferiors...eating into their reps? Plain dumb....osh needs to learn when to move on and loyalty doesn't win cups

This is a good way to summarize how I feel. We stayed with status quo and let the rest of the league catch up.

Both great ideas.

I'm not sure there is any kind of agenda. I think MOS believes he is putting the best football team on the field, he just has a different way of going about it, where he values experience, character, and attitude more than a typical coach might. And this makes him loyal to players... to a fault. But I'd also point out that rookies DO make their way onto the Bombers eventually. It's just usually not on day one, and at the expense of an established veteran. This management/coaching team seems to like bringing guys along on the practice roster for some time before giving them spots over veterans. If you look at guys like Devin Adams, Jamal Woods, Bridges, Randolph, Vanterpool, Wheatfall, Ayers..... they all came in last year and may not have been on the team day one or roster regulars but now they are. There's a good chance guys like Cam Allen, Woodbey and Cooley play big roles this year or into the future. But Evans should have made it over Sheahan, sick of Sheahan.

A whole year of Strange Animal jokes down the drain...

Last time we had a week 1 bye we swapped out half our DL and receivers of the guys who “made the team.”

I would genuinely love for someone in the media to ask why we spend all offseason recruiting American players to have one rookie crack our active roster. I know that’s an oversimplification but man … it’s gotta be frustrating for the front office. Backup DB/returner is all you see from all your efforts during the offseason? Sure, things will change as the season goes on but woof.

Dandy was way better in the games. I expect we will see him again here or somewhere else.

This won’t be close to game roster and won’t for any team. Week 1 shuffle then Week 2 because that’s when we play finally.

Cuts are up on the CFL page: Cut: Dandy Bridges (Devo) Leroux Lawson (Dexter) Pointer Brini Hall Levesque-Gallant Webb Gassama Avery Hemphill Brown Daughtry Gowan Wright Kwemo Mitchell (Myron) Lawson-Greenwood Evans ☹️ Adair Atkinson Harris PR: Allen Cooley Munier-Bailey Person Vibert Woodbey Elsbury Cobb White Jr Ball Case

But have you thought about Right Tackle? If he turns his shoulders completely toward our end zone after the snap he’s eligible to receive a hand off off of the line. Could easily run that play 8-9 times a game.

Thank fuckingchrist

Vaval returns punts both return kick offs. Cooley becomes the back up wr as we have done in the past with guys like gmc. Then we di Sergio and probably Ayers. Cooleys been better catching passes than our fa wr vets. If Brady went down we’d be pooched way more than if an imp wr did. Plus we could spell Brady more, use him as a pass catcher more, and keep him healthy.

Yeah we definitely have an initial advantage there...buck also knows our defence and what we kinda do...tho we will have changed the vernacular and I also looks like we have expanded it a bit and are gonna be more active up front. Thing with Buck...we know he has issues adapting on fly or making adjustments so if we can pick up the basis of what they do there watching their first game...I think we have a good chance shutting them down

Luc Mullinder makes Kate and the TSN crew seems like Straight Fire.

Alrighty with the preseason done and the regular season only a few short days away its time to start the Lock of the Week contest. Rules are pretty simple. 1. Every week you must pick a player that will score a touchdown. Passing touchdowns don't count. Receiving, rushing, return (interception, fumble, punt and kick) count as a TD 2. There is no limit to the amount you can pick a player. If you want to pick Dalton Schoen every week than you can. 3. If you fail to correctly pick then you acquire a strike. If you correctly pick you do not pick up a strike. 4. If you miss making a pick for the week you will acquire a strike. 5. All picks must be made before kickoff of the team that your selected player is playing in. 6. 5 strikes and you are out of the game. 7. Last one remaining or the one with the least strikes at the end of the year wins. 8. In the highly unlikelihood that players are tied at the end of the year - the winner will be the player who has selected the most different players thought the year.

Good sign.

That's a big meh move...Wallis showed more than Case ever did...

Send him back to the Wpg. Rifles and he might lose interest in football. No reason not to keep him on the PR and help him develop, he already looks better than Kornelson.

And we bicker and sqwuak like family haha

Davis would be a guy to develop for sure but he raw...and has to be trained up and work on technique...handl skills etc...against starting lineup vets he'd get eaten alive...but I like what I seen if we develop him all yr on the PR Vaughters isn't going anywhere...the way we have our roster configured i would say it be real difficult to.roster 2 import dt's unless we forego a DA on a returner/extra reciever...and that's only until Logan is ready...so do we just roster our 5 starters and have Cobb and Corcoran as the backups? If Lawson is ready for major reps...with Adams who has looked the best...WJ and Vaughters...certainly Bailey and hopefully Person as he just so versatile and can play some linebacker with his speed and athleticism...which he did in college that's 6 pretty good guys upfront who we can do a lot with in 3 and 4 man fronts Linebacker is the area I worried about as we know Osh will push hard for Wilson and T.Jones and that be a shame if one...or both are rostered over J.Jones...Ayers...and that Woodby whom I think were the 3 best in order...plus the fact you can play Person literally anywhere...dude is as fast as some of our receivers and DB's...4.60 40 yard dash in that body type...lethal up here on this big field...With Shay...Smith..Gauthier...Novak...Makonzo if/when he able we can do so much roster wise and could.forego using a DA on a linebacker and use it on DL guy...I have zero faith tho that Osh will send one of Wilson or T Jones packing...let alone both...maybe he surprises us to get us our best roster but won't hold my breath and I sure we will get fed his B.S reasoning for it....same with JT...Sheehan...and Kolo at center...but...maybe xmas comes early We start 3..which i hope we don't just rapes our defence and means we gonna see lotsa schmeck and Schmuck...or likely no Ayers and J.Jones...
