Joked with Noeller on the weekend that this is the reason we had to trade for Brown.

Not just, the guys on D are looking around at 5 guys running onto the field every play and wondering who is lining up where and they will never work as a unit when the unit is never the same for even 2 plays in a row. A big part of a defense is knowing what the guy next to you is doing and who has your back and who might need your help depending on what the offence throws at you. You have too many guys coming in and out it's really hard to get that chemistry

They run 3 Canadian receivers ... their Canadians are Philpot, Brissett and Barnes. I also don't know what you're trying to get at when you say "every receiver is used", they had 2 guys with more than 3 targets yesterday and they put up a 50 burger. Also, Tevaughn Campbell is not only not a WR, but he plays for Saskatchewan ... not Calgary.

Vernon Adams is the ultimate summer quarterback. He always comes out flying early in the season.

I never paid much attention to the Stamps as I'm a Bomber fan but my eyes have been opened having watched them in Kelowna & last night in person. They run with 3 American receivers & two Canadians. It may be four if Clark Barnes is American, not sure. Every receiver they have is dangerous & can catch. They have their possesion receivers but they have two guys who can go deep & make contested catches in Jaylen Philpott & Tevaughan Campbell. Every receiver is used & is dangerous. They have the best DL in the CFL. It makes you wonder what the actual "you know what" we are doing as an organization. We can't compete with teams that are fast & physical. Our offense looks slow & ponderous. We certainly don't seem to have a physical defense. Especially on the DL. What kind of scouting & recruiting do we have?? After the game, Dickenson said on 770 CHQR that there is going to be changes on defense. He isn't happy with the talent & effort defensively & guys will be replaced. Different culture on the Stamps. They look good.

I mean....they scored 94 points. Im not sure yesterday is a great example of intense defenses. There was plenty of missed tackles, lack of pressure & bad coverage from both sides.

Argos D got absolutely embarrassed. Just stupid how far behind the offenses defenses are this year.

The thing is it’s proven the American game style does NOT increase scoring.

Imagine fundamentally changing Canadian football to increase scoring.

It’s true, but man that’s one of my favourite places in canada

They are swapping the 2027 first round pick for the Bombers 2027 2nd round pick they used to go grab Daniels aren't they? So they moved back 9 spots to get Brown, plus the conditional pick if he sticks next year

Okay, whatever... The guy who wears #4 for the Stamps. Tevin Jones. Not Tevaughan Campbell. Jones is a dangerous receiver. As is Philpott. Their 3 Canadians all can catch. They all contribute. Brisset was quiet in Kelowna but busted out for 2 tds last night. The Stamps don't put in a token Canadian as a starter just to run routes as a wideout. We all know that defense win championships. It starts on the DL for the Stamps. You win by controlling the LOS. The Stamps DL only had one sack last night but they pressured & hit Kelly play after play after play. That's where it starts on the LOS. We'll never win if we get into a track meet like last night.

Good news on the injury front from today's practice. https://www.cfl.ca/2026/06/29/cfl-injury-reports-week-5-3/ WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS PRACTICE DAY Player name Position Injury WED FRI Game Status Nic Demski WR Ankle DNP Full Questionable Ontaria Wilson WR Head Full Full Questionable Brady Oliveira RB Knee DNP Full Questionable Gabe Wallace OL Shoulder DNP Full Questionable Asotui Eli OL Ankle DNP Full Questionable Lane Novak LB Knee Limited Limited Out Ethan Ball DB Thigh Limited Limited Out Tanner Schmekel DL Calf Limited Limited Out Jake Ceresna DL Hip Limited Full Questionable

They might want to do a welfare check on the Flyers GM. Ducks said they would match any offer so if I were them i’d respond we said we would match any offer but what we didn’t say is we would match insanity. See you John, it’s been swell.

yup...that too....how are guys supposed to be in any synergy and basically just react and know player X is doing what he supposed to beside hi,...and Player Y is supporting...etc....when you have to know the traits of 2...3 different guys ...never gonna work And from an ex. defensive player talking from experience you need to be out there play after play...and with same guys to get into any flow and a groove...and be able to recognize and take advantage of who's across from you in a game and hat they are doing....or not doing and exploit it...if u are getting random snaps..here and there at your position...then multiple snaps in someone else's....well good luck with that...Or scheme and philosophy just puts guys in a disadvantage right outta the gate...and a good reason why a lot of times...more often than not we seem unprepared and confused and take a half of football to figure it out, only to have the opponent adjust to our "adjust" and guys finally being in a flow and putting the dagger in us when it matters...we see that alot Just watching last night alone...other teams playing fast and free...intense...aggressive and hitting hard....but we almost seem like we playing in mud...tentative...minimal intensity ....there's a reason for that

Rolled my eyes so hard at his "on pace for over 7000 yards!!!!!!1111!!!" Nonsense TSN was showing. As if that kind of pace is sustainable year long for a guy who falls off consistently and also has a tendency to get knicked during the season. A hot month isn't indicative of sustained level of play.

I hate to think that maybe the league says there has to be more scoring...Something ain't kosher

So is Zach going to the Swift-Kelce wedding today?

It was absolutely more about the Argos D then it was the Stumps O. Someone should be getting cut/fired after that. I just can't help but feel there is something going on with the rules (or how they're being enforced/not enforced) that's allowing the offenses to do what they're doing. It shouldn't ever be this much of a disparity...

What is up with the D's in the league this year? It feels like the amount of 300 , 400 yard passing games is significantly higher then it has been for the last 20+ years.

Time to face the music and realize the Bombers might have one of the best defenses in the league only giving up 30 ppg 🤣

nope. lol Tyron vrede cut by the riders. I’d bring him in for sure. Much better global option then Ayo, hell of a lot better depth option then kelly, korn etc.

Yeah, they're behind in Kelowna. Look at Winnipeg, though. Compare how traffic moves in Winnipeg compared to other cities as large or bigger in Canada. Winnipeg didn't exactly embrace modern traffic designs, either.

The problem with Kelowna (totally unrelated to football) is their road infrastructure is stuck in the 1980s when the population was way way smaller than it is now. Driving around that city sucks all kinds of balls.

Yep, he regularly shamed his career back up/caddy jason maas for not matching his intensity

His logic is terrible. The real reason should be "the decision was made to do this to increase scoring, but scoring is up right now, so they should vote to delay another year or two to study".

Could be ZC has already decided this was going to be his last year, regardless of how things play out. If the club knows this, it would make sense to pull the trigger on the trade, even if it makes for a full QB room.
