Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This season the offense was on the entire organization. Walters signed that high priced receiver from Edmonton & Osh barely played him. Damn, at one point we had Chris Streveler playing wideout on a bum knee. We signed Dalton Schoen & he never should have seen the fie;d this season. He was cooked by O'Shea playing him on a torn ACL. Zach was then handec an OC who was the worst in the CFL & now it looks like he'll be back again. We have the worst starting CEnter in the CFL & the OL suffers because of it. I can't blame Collaros. I thin k it's more 65/35 Bombers seem to have become a somewhat dysfunctional organization. If you heard the comments from both Osh & Walters. More of the same coming in 2026. -

I think Zach needs better protection, a strong running game & a complete revamp of the receiving corps as well as a new OC that he believes in. Give him that & he could still be very effective. I don't think his skills have eroded that far. He has to play differently as he isn't as nimble as before which means he has to get rid of the ball fast in the pocket. He's still able to move the pocket around if he has to. Some of his deep shots don't get there anymore. I still would take him over the oft injured & super chilled Dru Brown in Ottawa who doesn't seem to give a **** about anything. What a wet noodle to play for as he inspires no one. When I watch Cody Fajardo in Edmonton, he doesn't instill a lot of confidence that he can get the job done when the chips are down. He got lucky on one series in the Grey Cup in 2023. As well as Nick Arbuckle who still displays a Jekyll & Hyde mentality. You just don't know from game to game what yer gonna git from him. So, Zach is middle of the pack with Hogan & the dysfunctional offense he had last season around him. -
Our soldiers will be fighting in the Ukraine soon. In this country fishing season lasts 12 months a years. Catch & release.

What then... does Osh see in Kola & Thomas??? I think anyone who thinks Walters & Osh have suddenly found God will be very disappointed. Expect the same old, same old. -

C;mon, the media is kind to Miller, Osh & Walters. You make it sound like the media was being mean to Osh. The press corps constantly throw softball questions at them with very few hard & pointed ones to answer. In the 60's, 70's & 80's the media was much harder on Lunsford, Bud Riley, Robson, Jauch & Murphy. Lunsford would get angry. His Oklahoma temper intimidated some of the media & they'd back off. Bud Riley was a very introverted & quiet man who never trusted the local media so his relationship with the Bomber press corps was tenuos at best. Jauch would just give a reporter who asked him a question he didn't like the Evil Eye & the look of death. Murphy would just laugh at the questions he didn't like or scowl at them. Sometimes both at the same time. A head coach like O'shea with 12 years experience should have no problem handling any media question. Especially from the people covering the team now. kinda hamstrung with that dumb rookie salary cap. -

Dobson was the one free agent we never should have let walk in free agency. All part of the Kyle Walters draft & develop for other teams strategy. And then, we have O'Shea telling the media that he has to do a re-set & be more involved as a Head Coach in the day to day operations of the team. This is a head coach with 12 years experience. How does that even happen? These are the guys that are supposed to figure out how to fix things? -

Some guys just can't get their **** together. When Tyler played Juco in California he saw it first hand. Players with god given talent but they just don't want to study & have lazy work habits. They end up like the guy who killed John Beam at Laney College in Oakland. Doing some low paying **** job instead of making millions in the NFL. Then they become bitter when they're spit out of college football & blame someone else for their problems. -

Stan can play Center or Guard & be a monster doing it. -

If we sign McGloster out of Montreal as a free agent as our starting LT, my opinion of Walters may change dramatically. -

Dobson played Guard & Center for Hamilton. We paid a slug who never should have started at Center big money as he's Canadian & a veteran in Kolanlowski. He was a total waste of money. Our roster management sucks. It's the worst in the CFL. Cut Kola & then you have the money to pay Dobson. BTW, Walters refused to go to the cap ceiling staying $400.000 under so we could have afforded him. Walters chose not to. -

A lot of players leave here after their first contract. We refuse to pay. We spend money instead on retreads like Thomas & Kolokowski. The Canadian Mafia faves. -

"Free agency? Don't talk to me about free agents. You kidding me??? We'll be lucky to sign our own guys before they leave. I just hope we can sign Thomas." -

Yeah, the draft on TSN is Mickey Mouse because TSN & the CFL treat it that way. Both could do much more to make it bigger if they wanted it. Have regular updates on TSN in the off season about U Sport & players in the NCAA. Create an awareness with fans of who these players are & where they play. Do a mock draft on TSN so fans can have expectations of who their teams may select. Move the draft to a hotel meeting room or a venue where audience members scould sit. Create the illusion the Draft is a big deal. However, that would take work, money & committment. Something both the CFL & TSN don't have. And damn it, televise all 7 rounds. -

Dave Naylor & farhan Lalji said on one of their Grey Cup reports last week that Dru Brown may be free if Ryan Dinwiddie wants to bring in Chad Kelly or Nick Arbuckle to Ottawa via trade. One of the destinations he said could be Winnipeg where Brown could spend the year backing up Zach, still learn more from him & then be the heir apparent. What's your thoughts on that, everyone? -

If we crater next year like the Stamps did in 2023 & 24 & they have two years left they won't be going anywhere because of the admin cap. Osh is on top right now. He should hjave cashed in & gone to the Argos or Ti Cats & had a fresh start. In 3 years time, Osh's name could be mud in the CFL & no one may want to hire him if we don't make a comeback. He's taking a big risk career wise coming back here if he doesn't fix things. Both Walters & Osh should fear failure & not a kick in the ass from Miller. Their careers may be on the line. -
I never liked the Kelvin Timeline & the destruction of Vulcan. Or the ridiculously stupid way that Kirk ascended to the Captaincy of the Enterprise. As in ST: SNW, I'd like to see more Romulans, Ferengi, Kilingons & Tholians. Not the abhorrently crazy, ugly bald Klingons we saw in ST: Discovery. But proud warriors like Worf & General Martok like we saw in ST: DS9. The only bad thing is Jeremy Quinto played Spock very well but so does Ethan Peck on SNW. That's a saw off there.

I'll have hope if Thomas & Kolo aren't brought back & we sign some quality CFL OL & DL free agents. Two year deals would have been acceptable. . -

They're all friends. Bringing them all back just proves that. Nothing will change. I'd love to be optimistic but I find these two signings give me nothing but pessimism. -

His family immigrated to Brooks, AB. There's huge meat packing plant there. If anything, I believe he'd sign with the Stamps just 2 hours away. The guy we lost this past off season. Liam Dobson who started all season & played both guard & center. -
Well, it's only a 5 hour drive so why wouldn't it be? There were fans that unloaded theit tickets after the Bombers lost.
