He'd pick the Bombers to lose on their bye week.

This era for the Bombers has been an unbelievable ride and the bounce back the club has had with the city since hiring O'Shea way back has been incredible.

And by 9000 fans it's actually the first 1000 karens that take 9 towels.

This could be a very messy ratio game. Offense is very thin. I could see something like Cobb in for Demski and Mitchell in for whoever they deem most expendable American on D...Ayres or Jones/Wilson. I think they keep Vaval and Cooley on.

I don't know if the Argos or Stamps will sell 30,000 tickets all year....

riders have played basically a list of nobodies...and as usual....will hit their skid and swoon and lose 4..5..6 in a row again when they play legit teams after the 1st 3rd of season when everyone is dialed in....you can bank on that

Nye is a hack. They need to hire somebody else. Pretty sure there is a 2nd grader somewhere who could fill his shoes.

Quick recap... he starts by saying the Bombers D has started the season great against a BC team without Rourke... I guess he forgot the blowout in week two... the proceeds to say the Elks suck at everything and Bombers are good at everything... so naturally, his pick is the Elks 😂

To be fair, today's practice was closed and O'Shea won't discuss injuries.

Va ool ain’t coming off.

this is the time of year and games where we "should" be trying some thigs...moving some pieces....seeing best fit and our best roster...not the status quo stand pat becai=use we won....or because a guy has been here years...or what Osh had said earlier "you look at old film and see what he can do" as thats not a good way of evaluation...looking backwards

it's funny to laugh at how ridiculous his write up is... but it is pretty embarrassing that he is writing this for a national website... which happens to be the official page of the league... if he was writing this on a Saskatchewan site, there would be no issues with his homerism...

He isn't, though. tony jones is a pure liability in coverage. He's worse than biggie was. really, watch him in isolation on coverage plays. He never gets to the right depth or spot. Also, JJones isn't some rookie. This is his 4th season, he's played 36 games in the cfl and started 18. Tony jones is 2 years older, been in the league 1 year longer, played 34 games and started 17.

Would not be surprised if they flip to 2 DI on O. Basically rotate a receiver and Cooley. You have to put some playmakers on the field if you want to score points. Teams are just going to sit on Schoen and Wheatfall. I don't mind Sterns moving up to #3 spot, basically Demski, but if you have 2 of Clercius/Corcoran/Cobb on the field at all times that's a really limited receiving corps. Clercius is a nice #5, not a ton of diversity in his ability to run routes and get open into the field and vertical. Plus he and Cobb are not close to full health themselves.

Darren Bauming 20 mins ago Brady Oliveira will miss a second straight game. We should know more on Nic Demski’s status when the #Bombers release their game roster tomorrow morning. #BonfireFtb

There's always somebody like Jamie Nye who tries to be a hero. Its nothing more than that.

Because most players get compensated for their production and what they bring to the table throughout their current career? His full career stats might suggest this is a reasonable salary despite him getting the Conn Smythe this year? Side note, I sure wish Sam Bennett would have played during Billy Smith's era. Guaranteed with how Sam Bennett plays when it comes to goalies, BS would have put him in the hospital or at the very least would have put him on the IR for an extended period of time.

B.C ..HAM and the Riders are notoriously bad for that....acting like a bag of assbags on the simplest of plays

Yeah, I think we should be looking to work 1 guy a week in for development. That way we don't get shocked by required change when injuries happen, or from too much change up front. Jones for Kyrie if the biggest one needed imo. He is, and he would be great at that. While still giving us the ability to cover a zone and not just have to hug the line.

Ayers is both quick and fast plus he reads plays very well. We are gonna need that to contain Ford on Thursday.

If you look at things on the surface, it might seem that way. But when you delve a little bit into it, without even watching tape, you see the difference. That being, JJones was playing at an all-star caliber in 23, splitting reps with Wynton McManis. That's when he started 8 games, put up 49 tackles, 13 teams tackles, 7 sacks, and a pick. The injury derailed him the following year. Conversely, Tony Jones was an on-again, off-again teams guy who rotated a bit on bad defences and got a shot here when Biggie went down. The difference in play is night and day. Tony is very good at scraping to the ball and making tackles in the box. He's not good at coverage. Jonathon Jones is good at scraping to the ball, has exceptional range, and is as effective pass rushing as dropping back in cover. Best roster usage for today would be Tony plays Mac in running downs, Jonathon plays Wil. On passing downs, we sub Griffin for Tony, and slide Jonathon into the middle. Building a better team going forward would probably mean Ayers gets snaps over Jones. I don't think Ayers is far behind Jones currently, tbh. I wouldn't expect him to be as reliable immediately, but I also don't think he can progress just by covering kicks. Jonathon Jones is our best Lber. Kyrie is our worst. Tony is situational.

Hey man because of this current streak, Rider Nation are still planning the Grey Cup parade around the sewage treatment plant/waterslide park. Let the baby have its bottle for a few more weeks....lol...

YOU OF all people who diss people on their views as saying its their personal opinion...and then you go say that statement??....wow....And J.Jones has already been successful in the league for several yrs....Earned his chops in 2022...had great season in 2023...got hurt part way in season in 2024...and was a ratio victim when Judge was signed...nice special teams tackles...7 sacks one yr...2 time grey cup champ...3 yrs younger...better measurables....better tackler....just better yeah.....As soon as T.Jones was signed to a 2 yr deal...he was a lock...we couldhave had James West and Ty Jones clones in camp....and both would have took a back seat in Oshland T.Jones is average....J.Jones is not....and not **** you can have only so many Americans...tell us something we dont know...Wilson offers more than T.Jones if he can stay healthy...Prob more than J.Jones too but there's that big if...If one could be removed to give us our best 3 outta Wilson..Ayer..T.Jones and J.Jones it's T .Jones And he was invisible last game, and yeah at times he may seem to "be around the ball" in what context tho.?..its after yards are gained...in help clean up mode...or when teams went after him....he is lost in space...and doesnt range well lateral to attack and shut down a play for a loss or minimal yards... All the grief Wilson gets in the first 2 games he has been the best linebacker....and offensive schemes against us have been away from him...T.Jones got a buttload of tackles the one game....but there was a reason he did too.....

*Rider fanboy hack.

Tony Jones is currently the better MIKE than J.Jones whether some poster here want to hear it or not. J.Jones has the brighter future, but he isn't there yet. The only way some people are going to be happy with roster decisions is if everyone gets to dress on game day like preseason.

Beard on the 6 is a big loss for Edmonton.

Hope you're paying for the advertising space

The injury he got...his age...when it happened last yr and the requirements of his position with stop...go...burst...cuts....I have a hard time seeing him being worth it now...if he even ready yet.....and if he has to be wearing a brace to compensate for it for first while....good luck with that....tough choice to make the hang em up decision....but he should have signed a one day deal...retired here and slid into the organization in some capacity Wish him well in the attempt and grabbing some last dollars....but it prob gonna tarnish peoples last memories of his ability on field

That’s the damned truth. yeah he’s been every thing we could hope for. Love the way that kid plays. Idk what’s gonna happen him Logan but if he isn’t healthy soon vaval is gonna have it locked up for as long as he want.

Our Canadian depth is being tested early this season.

Nice preface. Let's chat about that. Wait a second, we can't. Bummer and bummer about Brady O. Elks suck.

Wilson

Yep, he's the only one who is doing the tracking that fans get access to. I've seen him on the short-yardage defense set at end, but haven't seen him sub in for regular defensive reps yet.

curious with Jakes too....more than 3 is way too much haha...and thats for season

@DTonOB is probably the best bet for that kind of info.

Also says the Bombers didn't play Rourke. And never mentions they beat Rourke with their backup QB streveler. The guy is one of the biggest homers in the "professional" media. I get being a bit of a homer....but at least be correct in your articles.

Weekly Predictor: Who wins on WestJet Canada Day Weekend? - CFL.ca Never change Jamie Nye, never change. Actually go take a long walk off a short pier. Love how he says how great the Bombers D has been and how bad the Elks D has been. Then talks about how Collaros has his favorite target back(Schoen), and how Wheatfall is a breakout star, and then proceeds to pick Edmonton to win based on nothing lol. That "nothing" is clearly his Bomber hate due to his Rider homerism.

Guys wanna play tho...also an opp to perform and up their dollars...careers are short and you can't do that without playing

Did Snoop Dogg not have hot showers?? BC Place not having hot showers???? What the H???

Sask has a good O for this time of year, as long as Harris stays upright.

Big Chris Streveler.

Dalton Schoen

It’s true, but not all players are willing to do that especially long term. id love to see one of the pr/ir guys get in this week. If we keep to a one a week pace we will be in good shape in no time roster wise. I feel like if wj is gonna be suspended, it’ll be quick. The longer the week goes with out it the better chance of a fine imo.

Play the better guys first and use the other guys as the ir insurance stash?

yup....He may say no to that...as he knows he can play and then it's up to Osh as to what and who in "his opinion" is the better asset..now...and moving forward....and we all know how that will go As soon as T.Jones was signed to a 2 yr deal it was basically cemented that he was then strting MLB this yr regardless of what transpired in camp...That's his way of doing things and how we got ourselves into the depth issues and the near non-existent back-up plan or guys capable or trusted to step in when needed...and this yr....nothings changed

Bombers produced a 25-minute condensed game.... Watched that this afternoon.

He was looking real good too Can still steal him of the PR!
