Bombers trade for Dru Brown
QBs and leaders don't need to be fiery. We see soo many people think that being loud is strong leadership these days. It isnt. Dru brown has it where it counts. 3DownNationDru Brown addresses Ottawa Redblacks departure, defends a...Dru Brown made his first appearance in practice with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Tuesday afternoon, giving him a chance to respond to the criticism that was aired by Ottawa Redblacks head coach and g Confidence, no insecurity and need to punch back at ott, class and professionalism. That is a guy people will follow. On and off the football field.

2026 CFL Around The League (Not Bombers Specific)
All he does is produce at the highest level and win. Kid is crazy good. Philpott, Alexander, and Rankin could smash records this year. And the KRs in the league are going wild too. Vaval, Grant, McAllister, Pimpleton it could be the year of the return man. This start to the year should have the league thinking over some of the changes for next year.

Bombers trade for Dru Brown
lapo got a hc gig off his work here with many happy to see him leave. buck as well. We don’t know the specifics of how the staff works on D. Jy has a ton going for him as a dc. Hes part of the problem on D, but the roster on D is as well.

D is off right now around the league.But other teams are atleast playing physical making plays and stopping the run.

2026 Bombers Season
Should be singer, but really both should get one and we should swap the 3rd ni wr for eli at C with neuf back. Elsbury has tons of potential, but he’s not where he needs to be as a starting imp interior ol yet. I think we’d be better off with vanterpool at G and neuf at C than with elsbury starting. With viberts struggles last week we could use one of the nfl kids up here. Honestly, if he’s stayed in shape i’d be banged on dominique rhymes door.

Bombers trade for Dru Brown
The O handed a lead to the D late and the D could not only not stop edmonton, they couldn’t do a good job of countering edmontons clock management. The only place the D was good is the red zone. If the elk fed rankin more it would’ve been much uglier. Then we missed the fgs too. It was a thorough loss in all phases. None played well enough to win. The Ol was rough early, which is to be expected with two changes and a pilon at lt, but it god much better. Good Ds will disrupt and create pressure, you need to have play calls to counter that. We did far too little to counter the blitz. Meanwhile, the elk punished us frequently on blitz attempts

Stamps vs Lions Kelowna edition
sure seems like it. Personally, I don’t find it more enjoyable. few stops, few big plays, not overly physical, etc. High volume of yards on second down and high red zone conversion. This is the intent with the changes from hash mark change to next years changes though.

It's been back and forth the whole era here. If you see the physicality from the team off the bounce, it's gonna be a great outing. If not, it's gonna be tough and slow for them to get going. We haven't seen that hard-nosed, fast, physical start in a long time, though. We have consistently given away the first quarter of games for 2 years or so.

Its such a great little stadium, go sun lol. If you have an old message from him you can likely send him a new message in that thread. Some people have full inboxes and cant get new messages.

The nice thing about Brown is that he doesn't need in-game reps to be ready. He will be ready enough to step in through practice. He's always been great off the bench in a pinch, be it pushed into a start or in relief. So I am not too worried about Brown getting enough reps. Tbh, If we keep TE on the AR I would put him in late in a blowout. Those reps mean a lot more to him. Now, if Zach gets hurt again, I actually think Mos will be quick to put Brown in. He did that a few times in the past. He clearly views Brown as very close to Zachs level. We pulled zach and started Strevy last year too for injury. So I don't think we will see what we saw in our last GC appearance again, where Zach is more likely to see his finger fly further than the ball on any attempt.

100%. We need the D to have some edge, some grit. They are getting out physicalled soo badly by everyone. The first things you see fail when execution on D goes out the window are poor tackling and poor gap/cover play. When it spreads and gets worse you lose heart and effort, you see guys jog on the back side or quit on plays entirely. We are soo completely out of it on D, the WRs have drastically more edge and heart then the entire D. JYs system requires some DBs who are really physical. Wrs have to hear foot steps and be looking for the hit as the ball comes. Right now we don't even have DBs who are making plays on balls little on plays on WRs. We really need to shift the DBs around again, get Kramdi out of S, and have a rotational DB worth a damn.

Castillo has always gone through runs of the Yips. I don't think anything has changed in particular with him. Wilie has been the best we've seen from him in a couple of years. The rotation and actual rushers at the other positions have breathed new life into him. He still sucks at option and isn't great in the run game, but as a pass rusher, he's doing everything we could want. Nichols played very well last night as well, until he got hurt. Who knows how that will shake down, but he and Moxey did their jobs well. Injuries and the score forced us into a more vanilla D, and that's when and why the D improved last night. Jy has been making some strange calls. We saw the secondary stay in a shallow zone from a pre snap blitz read like robber early on, only we didn't have the high man to make robber work, and we just got beat. He ran some rotating cover and just not well-fit packages. I will also say, we used Smith a lot more on D last night, and he gave us some great snaps. I don't love how we are deploying him, but he's still filled a lot of what we lost when Woodbey went down. The failures were so across the board and diverse, it's not one guy or 5 guys. It's coaching and preparation. No one on the OL should be missing pre-snap alignments or pick ups like we saw. Bryant knows better than to leave Brady 1-on-1 with a DE. The fumbles, the blown assignments, it's all 3 phases at almost every position group. The amount of time it took us to adjust and get Zach out of the pocket and give him proper blitz beaters was awful. I like JY a lot, and Marty, TC, etc. But that was a thorough failing of coaching, for the second week in a row. And that can't keep happening.

Bombers trade for Dru Brown
Looking at the salary savings on Dru the draft compensation looks much better. Feels like we got great value, and the ideal back up.
