There’s absolutely zero need for it. We’re not talking about a spot injury, we’re talking about a potentially prolonged absence with the ability to have an open camp competition.
Agreed but you know its going to happen. Something about Gauthier being a good soldier, that tackle in the playoffs in 2019, and all the confidence in the world in him, blah, blah, blah.
-
Gauthier will start until Bighill is back. Its been done in the past, they'll do it again. The way Bighill played last season its not even that much of a downgrade which is very sad to say.

I am on my 5th attempt to watch Oppenheimer. I feel like I am missing something. I can watch and enjoy almost any movie in any genre but I am not feeling this one at all. I feel like it might be editing?
Yup, i do not understand the hype that movie got/gets. I watched it and was truly underwhelmed+bored. It just lacked.......something. I also found it very hard to follow and understand at times. Feel sorry for the scores of girls that had to sit/sleep through that movie with the whole Barbenheimer thing.

Wasn't he the guy who worked at the Peach Pit?
No, no, the guy who was shot on the set of The Crow.

Think bighill might be my biggest concern at linebacker. Thought Kramdi played well and was noticeable in good ways during the later part of the season.
I don’t think kramdi even is a top 3 to 5 concern of mine.
1. tackle 2 defensive tackle 3 defensive end opposite Jefferson4 BA 5 Bighill
Kick returner is a bigger concern also
yeah not in my top 5
Schmekel not gonna be on game day roster he’s a cut or pr bound since we start a cdn DT
Im very concerned about Bighill going into the season. He looked absolutely done at times last season with zero speed and missed tackles all over the field. And with Clements gone and Cole shifting to a different position the Bombers have shockingly shown zero interest in bringing in anyone else with CFL experience to even spell him during the season, let alone grooming someone to be his replacement(which will need to happen in the very very near future). This could be a major issue this season.

Really don’t get the Kramdi hate. He’s solid. Always around the ball. Does his job well. You need the reliable guys just as much as you need the flashy guys, they set the flashy guys up to make those big plays.
His Tackling/closing speed leaves a lot to be desired.

Heard from a friend who has a buddy who is close with Oliveira's family and he's got a hamstring issue that sounds fairly significant. Bombers are hoping he is ready for week 1.

If he makes any DBs look like assholes out there then I will have concerns about our scouting department. No offense to Milt, but he is 54 and hasn't played in 15 years. Our DBs coming to camp should be the elite just out of the NFL recruits in their low-mid 20's.
I have very fond memories of this happening numerous times in training camp back in the day when i used to go every day. Never got tired of watching Milt school DB's young and old in one-on-one drills.

The numbers milt put up despite having only a couple seasons with elite qb play.... it's just mind bottling. Imagine if he'd had better qbing throughout his career?
Thats precisely why he is the GOAT. I wont hear any argument for guys like Simon, Pitts, etc. Those guys had MVP caliber QB's over their careers. Milt had 4 years with Khari, 5 years with Glenn, and 5 years with dogshit. If he would of had decent QB's from 1995-1999.....Good lawwwwwwwd. And if he would of had Pitts' QB's for his career.........Were talking 20,000+ yards.

I thought the Charles Roberts plan was red bull, smokes, hotdogs, strip clubs and weed?
Big Mac's instead of hotdogs and that was pretty much his recipe for success.

Reaves comes up often enough.... likely a Top 5 guy.
Harris
ChuckBob
Reaves
Lewis
Hanson
Probably fair right?
Leo Lewis rushing yards per carry season total over his career:
6.1
0
6.8
7.0
6.5
8.4
7.1
6.4
5.2
7.4
5.3
4.1
If he hadnt of split carries with Gerry James for the bulk of his career he may have ran for a million yards. Bud Grant also referred to him as the best football player PERIOD that he ever saw. Leo Lewis 1st, and then everyone else.

RIP coach Ritchie. Probably my favorite Bomber coach. His quotes were legendary.

He's either way over the top or is the most sheltered Winnipegger around. There is a ton of cool stuff to do in Winnipeg in the summer. I'm not huge on hanging out in any of the areas that our social issues create problems but really that's like 5% of the city. Where the hell are you riding your bike Mike? I do agree with him that my favorite part of a Manitoba summer is time at the lake though.
No kidding. Theres like 1000 beautiful bike paths all over Winnipeg. No need to be booting around Higgins/Sutherland Ave on your Schwinn.

Got all excited seeing that this thread was hot, looking forward to some FA news and i get to read about how shitty Winnipeg is for the 23487 time in my life. Good grief already. Every city has shitty neighborhoods and a lot shitty downtowns. The mosquitoes havent been an issue for like 10+ years(whatever the hell the city did about them, kudos). Our winters arnt even that bad anymore, a couple weeks of -25C and its over, and were not shoveling 4+ feet of snow twice a month like those jabronis out east. We have the sunniest and warmest summers in Canada, period, with a million lakes to enjoy. And i can actually afford my recently built beautiful 2000+ square foot home that would be twice the price+ in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, etc, where i would be paying it off for the rest of my natural life instead of having disposable income and being able to use it to help fund my retirement if i so choose. Best food scene in Canada too. I love Winnipeg, everyone else can eat s**t.

Figured as much. Was hoping Gray would stick around. Wonder where Sheed ends up.

oooof... what a day......
Brutal. Quite possibly the most under appreciated/celebrated Canadian RB to ever play. When he was done playing he was 2nd only to Normie Kwong for rushing yards by a Canadian. Also the only human in history to play in the Grey Cup game and Stanley Cup finals during the same season. Amazing feat. Another legend gone. RIP.

Football legend and a great human being. Thanks for being a Bomber. RIP Mr. Ploen.

2024 Blue Bomber Training Camp
in Blue Bomber Discussion

Clearly i was being facetious, my point being Bighill was borderline awful at times last year, whiffing on tackles all over the field and repeatedly being two steps behind plays. He was impactful in the wrong kind of way last season.
