Bombers at Als early chat
why does it feel like some of these reporters are simply asking questions to confirm their own opinions? I get the need to ask them but its annoying how they try to put words in the coaches mouth rather than just letting him explain

Bombers at Als early chat
Even adding woods as a extra dlineman would be beneficial, most teams run with 8 dlinemen, last game both our dline and oline looked gassed Also Adams hasn't been as effective recently, Younger has been utilizing both Smeckle and Thomas instead for run stopping

The offensive line ran out of steam in the 4th qtr. team are using 8-9 dl ,no wonder they were in tough in qtr 4. Ly we had 2 backups Eli and wallace now its just Eli and hes getting manhandled We need to roster one more.

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Playing mtrl its a contrast in gm approaches, Mtrl locks up their key players on 2- 3 yr contracts , when they have injuries they look anywhere for replacements ie Ciante Evans, Dandridge, Hollins,Dukes We on the other hand dont, and end up losing young talent like Dobson,and Ford.and potentially players like Wallace. We only seem to do 1 yr contracts once the season is over and seem to be scrambling. There are a few exceptions but rare. Currently our depth in dbs is lacking and we try to bring back players we' ve cut. Oh one exception, we resign an aging quarterback whose play is declining. Its frustrating at times

A message to Miller and Walters
Lost in this, this was a huge win, lose and we are tied with bc, also Ottawa pulls to within 1 game Putting the crossover in jeopardy (the forest for the trees) Also some correctable mistakes which would have had us winning by double digits, The interception end of 1st half 3-7 points, the stuff on Streveler, the much discussed 2 and three sneak, the Randolph object Conduct.The two phantom pi calls The 57 yd fg attempt cost us 7 points as well

Ottawa RedBlacks @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers GDT
In the last quarter our dline was gassed, Willie was basically waving at runners going past him. If woods is healthy we need to have him play. I did like Cam Allen, physical and showed some speed. And I aggree Wilson is a better 3rd dwn quarterback, streveler doesnt have the initial burst anymore and is no longer overpowering anyone

Ottawa RedBlacks @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers GDT
Redblacks dline hasnt been great, we should be able to run, and provide better protection for Zac which will make all the difference. Brown isnt as mobile as some weve faced so hopefully our dline can dial it up. Go Blue!

Did you want Vaval to block as well on returns cause hes done everything else i wasn't a sheehan fan earlier but last few games hes been outkicking opponents.

Crazy talk, Hamiltons just turned things around this season, not doing anything major now

The really good dbs we added started at training camp, and earned a spot.(0ther than ford) This year we chose Bridges cause he seemed the safe choice. With others they may have had some growing pains but youd youd also see some great plays showing promise. Bridges didn't , not sure why it took so long to figure out

Argos at Bombers early chat
Wow, Still no.Mitchell with Kramdl in at safety look to Arbuckle Coxie going deep..often For those of us wanting roster changes here we are. Really highlights our lack of depth at several positions ie receiver, db and dline

GDT- Bombers @ Toronto
the question becomes then who do you replace Collaros with? and what will it cost. We are paying about 100k premium on a compared to other qbs. The aprox difference of having lawler vs shoen

GDT- Bombers @ Toronto
Whats OShea gonna say,, We played like crap,and the players need to be accountable or changes will be made,? Oh wait thats Dinwiddie.

3 turds play CH stink stank stunk 3 in a row
Two things that baffle me 1 Every time we play Argos we get away from the run game, even when our recievers arent healthy ,2; Why has Parker become invisible,? The first 3 games he was all over the field making plays now even on all the deep throws hes nowhere to be found This along with our roster decisions are frustrating to say the least
-
Stamps at Bombers early chat
Even if we did its not a given that OShea would have given them a chance, just look at db, we brought in a ton and ended up settling with Bridges who was already here. (even though it looked like other rookies showed more ie Allen and McGowan)

Stamps at Bombers early chat
Who was the last impact free agent we signed, (other than resigning Lawson) was it Jefferson?
-
Stamps at Bombers early chat
I dont pretend that I know what any specifics player is thinking, but it has to be frustrating for younger players that have shown promise to be left on the sidelines without a chance to show what they can do other than special teams especially when they see rookies on other teams. Players like Chris-Ike, Shay, Smith even Cam Allen . Its like OShea wants them to wait a year ( unless its forced by injury) before he eoll trust them on the field
-
Stamps at Bombers early chat
One game doesnt.make a downswing, this upcoming one will say a lot I agree not addressing our cdn talent at a number of positions is a big miss especially when the only time we use our top picks is on special teams. We need to see what we have sooner rather than just before the playoffs when a bunch of our guys are hurt
-
Bombers at Stumps GDT
Re Wilson, hes been our main stopper on the run, and is reading/anticipating plays I do like getting Allen in and Parker at corner
-
Bombers at Stamps early chat
Wonder of they released haggarty because of Novacs development Also with the addition of both Shay and Smith they made Haggarty expendable as he wasnt an option at db other than sam As for our de's i disagree as to them being ineffective. Against Rourke and Ford they had primary contain responsibilities and Masoli was rushed constantly. They are continuously providing pressures. Our issue is the interior. Adams hasn't been as effective as hoped and not getting a lot of push from others
-
Bombers at Stamps early chat
Is haggarty due back? If so then person could come in and Kornelson out
-
Elks at Bombers early chat
Its too early to say what Smith can or cannot be, currently he seems suited to sam or wil, but thru coaching could be db similar to Griffin. Haggarty Makonzo,Kelly are all light to be will.
-
Elks at Bombers early chat
the issue is our DI options right now are Ayers: Oshea is very reluctant to drop our best return coverage guy, and likely doesn't yet trust Shay enough to back up lbs Griffin Jr. ; has been one of our best defenders Castillo Vaval; who has been great as well Cooley: brings more to the offence than another receiver Until Olivera returns I don't see the above changing.

3 stars plus HH bc sucks series win
I thought Thomas had a decent game, and the dline had a lot of pressures, leading to interceptions and near ones. Its much improved to ly. The only criticism is that we didn't sign a quality cdn in off season such as Green or an olineman so we could have a di defensive lineman to rotate in and develop ie persons.I do also agree that Kornelson isn't a god use of roster spot

Griffen has been a beast but what position would he qualify as an allstar? Holm and Parker so good. Bridges seems to be weak link, beaten a number of times but Masoli couldn:t make throw
